Vectorworks is committed to protecting your privacy. This privacy statement applies to Vectorworks, Inc., owner of Vectorworks, which includes Vectorworks webpages hosted at the vectorworks.net domain (the "Site"), our desktop software (the "Software"), Vectorworks Mobile Applications such as Vectorworks Nomad (the "Applications"), and Vectorworks Cloud Services ("Cloud Services") (collectively, the "Platform"), and Vectorworks Service Select (“Service Select”).
If you have any questions or concerns about our use of your personal information, then please contact us using the contact details provided at the bottom of this Privacy Notice.
The personal information that we may collect about you broadly falls into the following categories:
We use cookies and similar tracking technology (collectively, “Cookies”) to collect and use personal information about you. For further information about the types of Cookies we use, why, and how you can control Cookies, please see our Cookie Notice.
Vectorworks may disclose your personal information to the following categories of recipients:
If you use Dropbox integration, your files are stored with Dropbox. Please review the Dropbox privacy policy for more information on its information practices.
If you use Google Drive integration, your files are stored with Google Drive. Please review the Google Drive privacy policy for more information on its information practices.
Our legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described above will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it.
However, we will normally collect personal information from you only (i) where we have your consent to do so, (ii) where we need the personal information to perform a contract with you, or (iii) where the processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms. In some cases, we may also have a legal obligation to collect personal information from you or may otherwise need the personal information to protect your vital interests or those of another person.
If we ask you to provide personal information to comply with a legal requirement or to perform a contract with you, we will make this clear at the relevant time and advise you whether the provision of your personal information is mandatory or not (as well as of the possible consequences if you do not provide your personal information).
Similarly, if we collect and use your personal information in reliance on our legitimate interests (or those of any third party), we will make clear to you at the relevant time what those legitimate interests are.
If you have questions about or need further information concerning the legal basis on which we collect and use your personal information, please contact us using the contact details provided under the “Contact us” heading below.
We use appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the personal information that we collect and process about you. The measures we use are designed to provide a level of security appropriate to the risk of processing your personal information.
Your personal information may be transferred to, and processed in, countries other than the country in which you are resident. These countries may have data protection laws that are different to the laws of your country.
Specifically, our Site servers are located in the United States (as well as within the European Economic Area), and our group companies and third party service providers and partners operate around the world. This means that when we collect your personal information we may process it in any of these countries.
However, we have taken appropriate safeguards to require that your personal information will remain protected in accordance with this Privacy Notice.
We retain personal information we collect from you where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to provide you with a service you have requested or to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements).
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymous it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
Where the law of a country within the European Economic Area applies, you have the following data protection rights:
We respond to all requests we receive from individuals wishing to exercise their data protection rights in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
For your convenience, the Platform or Service Select may contain certain hyperlinks to other websites. We make no promises or guarantees regarding data collection on the hyperlinked pages that are not owned by Vectorworks. We recommend that you read the privacy policy/statement foreach site you visit.
Vectorworks does not track its customers over time or across third party websites to provide targeted advertising and therefore does not respond to Do Not Track (DNT) signals. However, some third party sites do keep track of your browsing activities when they serve you content, which enables them to tailor what they present to you. IF you are visiting such sites, most browsers allow you to set the DNT signal on your browser so that third parties (particularly advertisers) know you do not want to be tracked.
The California Consumer Privacy Act ("CCPA") provides certain rights to California consumers concerning their Personal Information.
For details regarding the Personal Information we have collected, including the categories of sources, and how we use your information, please see the section above titled "Information Collection and Use". We share this information with the categories of third parties described in the section above titled "Sharing Information".
Subject to certain limitations, the CCPA provides California consumers the right to request to know more details about the categories or specific pieces of Personal Information we collect (including how we use and disclose this information), to delete their Personal Information, to opt out of any "sales" that may be occurring, and to not be discriminated against for exercising these rights.
California consumers may make a request pursuant to their rights under the CCPA by contacting us via email at privacy@vectorworks.net. We will verify your request using the information we have associated with your account, including email address. Government identification may be required.
California consumers may also designate an authorized agent to exercise these rights on their behalf. We are not obligated to make a data access or data portability disclosure if we cannot verify that the person making the request is the person about whom we collected information, or is someone authorized to act on such person’s behalf. Any personal information we collect from you to verify your identity in connection with you request will be used solely for the purposes of verification.
From time to time, we may update this Privacy Notice in response to changing legal, technical or business developments. When we update our Privacy Notice, we will take appropriate measures to inform you, consistent with the significance of the changes we make. We will obtain your consent to any material Privacy Notice changes if and where this is required by applicable data protection laws.We encourage you periodically to check this site to learn about the information we collect, use, and share.
