Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to Softhouse’s online productivity tools and platform, including the associated Softhouse mobile and desktop applications (collectively, the “Services” ), www.dctransportplanner.com , Softhouse.nl and other Softhouse websites (collectively, the “Websites”) and other interactions (e.g., customer service inquiries, user conferences, etc.) you may have with Softhouse. If you do not agree with the terms, do not access or use the Services, Websites or any other aspect of Softhouse’s business.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to any third party applications or software that integrate with the Services through the Softhouse 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 Services (the “Customer Agreement” ), including the processing of any messages, files or other content submitted through Services accounts (collectively, “Customer Data” ). The organization (e.g., the warehouse or another entity or person) that entered into the Customer Agreement ( “Customer” ) controls its instance of the Services (its “Workspace” ) and any associated Customer Data. If you have any questions about specific settings and privacy practices, please contact the Customer whose account you use. If you have received an invitation to join the Services but have not yet created an account, you should request assistance from the Customer that sent the invitation.

Information We Collect And Receive
Softhouse 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 Warehouse by a Customer (“Authorized Users”) routinely submit Customer Data to Softhouse when using the Services.

Other Information. Softhouse also collects, generates and/or receives Other Information:

Warehouse and Account Information. To create or update an account, you or your Customer (e.g., your employer) supply Softhouse with an email address, phone number, password, domain and/or similar account details

Usage Information.

Services Metadata. When an Authorized User interacts with the Services, metadata is generated that provides additional context about the way Authorized Users work. For example, Softhouse logs the Warehouses, bookings, transporters, features, content and links you view or 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 Services 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 Services, browser type and settings, the date and time the Services were used, information about browser configuration and plugins, language preferences and cookie data.

Device information. Softhouse collects information about devices accessing the Services, 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 Transporters and other third-parties that helps us approximate your location. Softhouse may also collect location information from devices in accordance with the consent process provided by your device.

Cookie Information. Softhouse uses a variety of cookies and similar technologies in our Websites and Services to help us collect Other Information.

Third Party Services. A Customer can choose to permit or restrict Third Party Services for its Environment. Typically, Third Party Services are software that integrate with our Services, and a Customer can permit its Authorized Users to enable and disable these integrations for its Environment. Softhouse may also develop and offer Softhouse applications that connect the Services with a Third Party Service. Once enabled, the provider of a Third Party Service may share certain information with Softhouse. For example, if a cloud storage application is enabled to permit files to be imported to a Environment, we may receive the user name and email address of Authorized Users, along with additional information that the application has elected to make available to Softhouse 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 Softhouse. When a Third Party Service is enabled, Softhouse is authorized to connect and access Other Information made available to Softhouse in accordance with our agreement with the Third Party Provider and any permission(s) granted by Customer (including, by its Authorized User(s)). We do not, however, receive or store passwords for any of these Third Party Services when connecting them to the Services.

Contact Information. In accordance with the consent process provided by your device, any contact information that an Authorized User chooses to upload is collected when using the Services.

Third Party Data. Softhouse may receive data about organizations, industries, lists of companies that are customers, 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.

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 Environment setup details, is not provided, we may be unable to provide the Services.

How We Use Information
Customer Data will be used by Softhouse in accordance with Customer’s instructions, including any applicable terms in the Customer Agreement and Customer’s use of Services functionality, and as required by applicable law. Softhouse is a processor of Customer Data and Customer is the controller. Customer may, for example, use the Services 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 Services.
