Effective starting: December 31, 2019
What is a Privacy Policy?
Our General Privacy Policy explains what we do with the information we collect through the Internet and other forms of electronic communication (like e-mail or text messages) and the choices individuals can make about how their personal information is collected and used. Portfolio BI is committed to providing this information in a way that is transparent and easy to understand. If you have any questions, contact us for more information at privacy@portfoliobi.com.
For individuals in the EU, California and Nevada please see our supplemental policies below. These supplemental policies specifically describe the rights you may have and our contact details.
What this privacy policy covers
This privacy policy explains what information Portfolio BI (also referred to in this Privacy Statement as “we” or “us” or “our” or “PBI”) collects, receives, including information related to your use of our website, what we do with that information, how we share it, and how we handle the content you place in our products and services. Personal Information is information about you that is personally identifiable like your name, address, e-mail address or phone number, and other information that is not otherwise publicly available. This Privacy Policy describes:
• What information we collect
• How we use and share your information
• The choices available to you regarding our use of your Personal Information and how you can access and update this information.
Scope of Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to the information that we obtain through your use of “PBI Services” via a “Device” or through your use of this website or any software or services provided by us, or through direct contact with us, or when you otherwise interact with PBI.
“PBI® Services” include our:
· • Website
· • SaaS Products
but do not include:
· • PBI products or services for which a separate privacy policy is provided;
· • Third Party Products: these are third-party products or services that you may choose to integrate with a PBI product or services. You should always review the policies of third-party products and services to make sure you are comfortable with the ways in which they collect and use your information.
A “Device” is any computer used to access the PBI Services, including without limitation a desktop, laptop, mobile phone, tablet or other consumer electronic device.
By registering for or using PBI Services you consent to the collection, transfer, processing, storage, disclosure and other uses described in this Privacy Policy. If you, as a visitor, choose to use our website or submit information to us in connection with your use of this website, then you agree to PBI’s use of such personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and the PBI Terms and Conditions. Should you agree to release your personal information to any third party, the privacy policy of PBI will not apply; such third parties have their own privacy policy.
Definitions
“You” or “your” refers to the individual who uses this website or our services, or directly contacts us.
The terms “using” and “processing” information include subjecting the information to statistical or other analysis and using or handling information in any way, including, but not limited to collecting, storing, evaluating, modifying, deleting, using, combining, disclosing and transferring information within our organization.
Add-On: a bundle of code, resources and configuration files that can be used with a PBI product to add new functionality or to change the behavior of that product’s existing features.
Content: any information or data that you upload, submit, post, create, transmit, store or display in a PBI Service.
Information: all of the different forms of data, content and information collected by us as described in this Privacy Policy.
Personal Information: information that may be used to readily identify or contact you as an individual person, such as: name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number, login information, marketing preferences, company affiliation, or payment card information. Personal information also includes other pieces of information which can be used to identify you, either directly or indirectly, such as a cookie.
Personal information may become available to PBI through your use of our website and through your submission of additional information to PBI. Our collection and use of your personal information will depend on the extent to which you provide us with your personal information through this website, when and if our website requests information from you. We may also combine information about you that we have with information we obtain from other sources.
Personal information does not include information that has been anonymized such that it does not allow for the ready identification of specific individuals.
SaaS Products: PBI’s software licensing and delivery model in which software is licensed to a subscriber and is hosted via PBI’s “Cloud” system.

Changes to this Privacy Statement
On occasion, it may be necessary for Portfolio BI to change the terms of this Privacy Policy and Statement. We will notify you about significant changes in the way we treat personal information by revising the “Effective Starting” date at the top of this Privacy Policy. If we make any material changes, we will provide you with additional notice (such as by adding a notice of the PBI homepage, login screens, or by sending a notice to the primary e-mail address specified in your personal information). Your continued use constitutes acceptance of those changes. To ensure that you are aware of current privacy practices, we recommend that you check the website periodically.
If you disagree with any changes to this Privacy Policy, you will need to stop using PBI Services and de-active your account(s).
What type of information do we collect?
We collect personal information if you request products or services from us, use an on-line form to send information to us or anytime you request information from us. We collect the following information:
Account and Profile Information: We collect information about you and your company as you register for an account, create or modify your profile, make purchases through, use, access, or interact with the PBI Services (including but not limited to when you upload, download, collaborate on or share Content).

We collect information under the direction of our clients and often have no direct relationship with the individuals whose personal
data we process. If you are an employee of one of our clients and would no longer like us to process your information, please contact your employer.

For example, information regarding a problem you are experiencing with a PBI
product could be submitted to our Support Services.
Information you provide to us and we collect from your use of Portfolio BI Services
Web Logs: As is true with most websites and services delivered over the Internet, we gather certain information and store it in log files when you interact with our Website and SaaS Products. This information includes:
· • the date and time of your website visit
· • what pages you went to and information you search for
· • locale and language preferences
· • identification numbers associated with your Devices, your mobile carrier and system configuration information
· • the site you had been to before you came to us
· • the type of browser you are using
· • your operating system and URLs of referring/exit pages
· • your internet protocol (IP) address
· • your server address and internet services provider
In the case of our SaaS Product, the URLs you accessed (and therefore included in our log files) include usernames as well as elements of Content as necessary for the SaaS Product to perform the requested operations.
Analytics Information from Website and SaaS Products: We collect analytics information when you use our Website and SaaS Products to help us improve our products and services as well as improve our websites and to guarantee their security and continued proper functioning.
In the SaaS Products, this analytics information consists of the feature and function of the PBI Service being used, the associated license identifier and domain name, the username and IP address of the individual who is using the feature or function (which will include Personal Information if the Personal Information was incorporated into the username), the sizes and original filenames of attachments, and additional information required to detail the operation of the function and which parts of the PBI Services are being affected. As such, the analytics information we collect may include Personal Information or sensitive business information that the user has included in Content that the user chose to upload, submit, post, create, transmit, store or display in a PBI Service.
Analytics Information Derived from Content. Analytics information also consists of data we collect as a result of running queries against Content across our user base for the purposes of generating Usage Data. “Usage Data” is aggregated data about a group or category of services, features or users that does not contain Personal Information. Though we may happen upon sensitive or Personal Information as we compile Usage Data from Content across user instances, this a byproduct of our efforts to understand broader patterns and trends. It is not a concerted effort by us to examine the Content of any particular customer.
Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies
We use various Internet technologies alone or in combination to collect information about you and your use of our website for many reasons, such as administering and facilitating your access to and use of our website, understanding your behavior on our website, and analyzing usage behavior and target advertising to you.
We use cookies and web beacons for several purposes, such as to recognize visitors to our Website, to determine the number of unique visitors to our websites, to ascertain which website pages they visit, and to conduct internal reviews of our site. Cookies are small data files stored on your hard drive or in a device memory. We use cookies to improve and customize Portfolio BI Services and we may use the combined information to personalize your experience on the Website.
You can instruct your browser, by changing its options, to stop accepting cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookies from websites you visit. If you do not accept cookies, however, you may not be able to use all aspects of our Website or SaaS Products. Portfolio BI and our third-party partners also collect information using web beacons (also known as “tracking pixels”). Web beacons are electronic images that help us to deliver cookies, count visits, understand usage and campaign effectiveness and determine whether an e-mail has been opened and acted upon.
Opt-Out from the setting of cookies on your individual browser
In addition to utilizing the user preference center, where available, you may opt-out from the collection of non-essential device and usage data on your web browser (see the “What device and usage data we process” section, above) by managing your cookies at the individual browser level. In addition, if you wish to opt-out of interest-based advertising or targeted advertising that is
provided to us and to third parties by Portfolio BI DMP, please send an email request to privacy@portfoliobi.com. Please note, however, that by blocking or deleting cookies and similar technologies used on our websites, you may not be able to take full advantage of the websites.
While some internet browsers offer a “do not track” or “DNT” option that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked, these features are not yet uniform and there is no common standard that has been adopted by industry groups, technology companies or regulators. Therefore, we do not currently commit to responding to browsers’ DNT signals with respect to our websites. Portfolio BI takes privacy and meaningful choice seriously and will make efforts to continue to monitor developments around DNT browser technology and the implementation of a standard.
