Applicability of this Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to Vibrantfounder’s online workplace
productivity tools and platform, including the associated Vibrantfounder
mobile and desktop applications (collectively, the “Service”),
Vibrantfounder.com (the “Website”) and other interactions (e.g.,
customer service inquiries, etc.) you may have with Vibrantfounder.
If you do not agree with the terms, do not access or use the Service,
Website or any other aspect of Vibrantfounder’s business.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to any third party applications or
software that integrate with the service through the Vibrantfounder
platform (“Third Party Services”), or any other third party
products, services or businesses. In addition, a separate agreement
governs delivery, access and use of the Service (the
“Customer Agreement”), including the processing of any messages,
files or other content submitted through service accounts (collectively,
“Customer Data”). The organization (e.g., your employer or
another entity or person) that entered into the Customer Agreement
(“Customer”) controls their instance of the service (their
“Workspace”) and any associated Customer Data. If you have any
questions about specific Workspace settings and privacy practices,
please contact the Customer whose Workspace you use. If you have an
account, you can check www.Vibrantfounder.app for contact information of
your Workspace owner(s) and administrator(s). If you have received an
invitation to join a Workspace but have not yet created an account, you
should request assistance from the Customer that sent the invitation.
Information We Collect And Receive
Vibrantfounder may collect and receive Customer Data and other
information and data ( “Other Information”) in a variety of ways:
-
Customer Data. Customers or individuals granted access to a Workspace
by a Customer (“Authorized Users”) routinely submit Customer Data to
Vibrantfounder when using the service.
-
Other Information. Vibrantfounder also collects, generates and/or
receives Other Information:
-
Workspace and Account Information. To create or update a Workspace
account, you or your Customer (e.g., your employer) supply
Vibrantfounder with an email address, phone number, password,
domain and/or similar account details. In addition, Customers that
purchase a paid version of the service provide Vibrantfounder (or
its payment processors) with billing details such as credit card
information, banking information and/or a billing address.
-
Usage Information.
-
Service Metadata. When an Authorized User interacts with the
service, metadata is generated that provides additional
context about the way Authorized Users work. For example,
Vibrantfounder logs the Workspaces, channels, people,
features, content and links you interact with, the types of
files shared and what Third Party Services are used (if any).
-
Log data. As with most websites and technology services
delivered over the Internet, our servers automatically collect
information when you access or use our Websites or service and
record it in log files. This log data may include the Internet
Protocol (IP) address, the address of the web page visited
before using the Website or service, browser type and
settings, the date and time the service was used, information
about browser configuration and plugins, language preferences
and cookie data.
-
Device information. Vibrantfounder collects information about
devices accessing the service, including type of device, what
operating system is used, device settings, application IDs,
unique device identifiers and crash data. Whether we collect
some or all of this Other Information often depends on the
type of device used and its settings.
-
Location information. We receive information from you, your
Customer and other third-parties that helps us approximate
your location. We may, for example, use a business address
submitted by your employer, or an IP address received from
your browser or device to determine approximate location.
Vibrantfounder may also collect location information from
devices in accordance with the consent process provided by
your device
-
Cookie Information. Vibrantfounder uses cookies and similar
technologies in our Websites and Service that help us collect
Other Information. The Websites and Service may also include
cookies and similar tracking technologies of third parties, which
may collect Other Information about you via the Websites and
Service and across other websites and online services.
-
Third Party Services. Customer can choose to permit or restrict
Third Party Services for their Workspace. Typically, Third Party
Services are software that integrate with our service, and
Customer can permit its Authorized Users to enable and disable
these integrations for their Workspace. Once enabled, the provider
of a Third Party Service may share certain information with
Vibrantfounder. For example, if a cloud storage application is
enabled to permit files to be imported to a Workspace, we may
receive user name and email address of Authorized Users, along
with additional information that the application has elected to
make available to Vibrantfounder to facilitate the integration.
Authorized Users should check the privacy settings and notices in
these Third Party Services to understand what data may be
disclosed to Vibrantfounder. When a Third Party Service is
enabled, Vibrantfounder is authorized to connect and access Other
Information made available to Vibrantfounder in accordance with
our agreement with the Third Party Provider. We do not, however,
receive or store passwords for any of these Third Party Services
when connecting them to the service.
-
Contact Information. In accordance with the consent process
provided by your device, any contact information that an
Authorized User chooses to import (such as an address book from a
device) is collected when using the service.
-
Third Party Data. Vibrantfounder may receive data about
organizations, industries, Website visitors, marketing campaigns
and other matters related to our business from parent
corporation(s), affiliates and subsidiaries, our partners or
others that we use to make our own information better or more
useful. This data may be combined with Other Information we
collect and might include aggregate level data, such as which IP
addresses correspond to zip codes or countries. Or it might be
more specific: for example, how well an online marketing or email
campaign performed.
-
Additional Information Provided to Vibrantfounder. We receive
Other Information when submitted to our Websites or if you
participate in a focus group, contest, activity or event, apply
for a job, request support, interact with our social media
accounts or otherwise communicate with Vibrantfounder.
Generally, no one is under a statutory or contractual obligation to
provide any Customer Data or Other Information (collectively,
“Information”). However, certain Information is collected automatically
and, if some Information, such as Workspace setup details, is not
provided, we may be unable to provide the service.
How We Use Information
Customer Data will be used by Vibrantfounder in accordance with
Customer’s instructions, including any applicable terms in the Customer
Agreement and Customer’s use of service functionality, and as required

Customer is the controller. Customer may, for example, use the service
to grant and remove access to a Workspace, assign roles and configure
settings, access, modify, export, share and remove Customer Data and
otherwise apply its policies to the service. Vibrantfounder uses Other
Information in furtherance of our legitimate interests in operating our
service, Websites and business. More specifically, Vibrantfounder uses

specific Workspaces and Authorized Users. For example, we may improve
search functionality by using Other Information to help determine and
rank the relevance of content, channels or expertise to an Authorized
User, make service suggestions based on historical use and predictive
models, identify organizational trends and insights, to customize a
service experience or create new productivity features and products.

We may send you service, technical and other administrative emails,

important service-related notices, such as security and fraud notices.
These communications are considered part of the service and you may
not opt out of them. In addition, we sometimes send emails about new
product features, promotional communications or other news about
Vibrantfounder. These are marketing messages so you can control
whether you receive them.
- For billing, account management and other administrative
matters.
Vibrantfounder may need to contact you for invoicing, account
management and similar reasons and we use account data to administer
accounts and keep track of billing and payments.
- To investigate and help prevent security issues and abuse.
If Information is aggregated or de-identified so it is no longer
reasonably associated with an identified or identifiable natural
person, Vibrantfounder may use it for any business purpose. To the
extent Information is associated with an identified or identifiable
natural person and is protected as personal data under applicable data
protection law, it is referred to in this Privacy Policy as “Personal

Data Retention
Vibrantfounder will retain Customer Data in accordance with a Customer’s
instructions, including any applicable terms in the Customer Agreement
and Customer’s use of service functionality, and as required by
applicable law. Depending on the service plan, Customer may be able to
customize its retention settings and apply those customized settings at
the Workspace level, channel level or other level. Customer may also
apply different settings to messages, files or other types of Customer
Data. The deletion of Customer Data and other use of the service by
Customer may result in the deletion and/or de-identification of certain
associated Other Information. For more detail, please review the Help
Center or contact Customer. Vibrantfounder may retain Other Information
pertaining to you for as long as necessary for the purposes described in
this Privacy Policy. This may include keeping your Other Information

for Vibrantfounder to pursue legitimate business interests, conduct
audits, comply with (and demonstrate compliance with) legal obligations,
resolve disputes and enforce our agreements.
