Nulab Service Supplemental Terms regarding Privacy and Security (Version 6)

THIS IS NOT THE LATEST VERSION. CURRENT VERSION

Index

    These terms constitute those supplementing the Nulab Terms of Service with respect to privacy and security in the Services provided by Nulab (hereinafter referred to as “Supplemental Terms”). The Users should use Nulab services subject to and in accordance with the Supplemental Terms in addition to Nulab Terms of Service. If there is any discrepancy between the Supplemental Terms and Nulab Terms of Service including the Privacy Policy, Supplemental Terms shall prevail. Terms used in the Supplemental Terms shall have the same meaning as used in the Terms of Services unless otherwise defined in the Supplemental Terms.

    1. Purpose
      These Supplemental Terms set forth our security policy regarding User Data and other information pursuant to Article 13 in Nulab Terms of Service.  For our policy regarding personal information, please refer to Privacy Policy.
    2. Privacy
      1. Compliance with privacy law. Nulab complies with all data protection and privacy laws generally applicable to the Service. However, Nulab shall not be liable for noncompliance with data protection and privacy laws applicable to specific types of data, users or user industries, but which are not applicable to information technology service providers.
      2. Use of User Data. Unless otherwise stipulated in the agreements, consents, memoranda of understanding or other documents executed with Users, Nulab will process User Data in accordance with each of the provisions set forth in Supplemental Terms, and will not (a) have the administrator rights or any other similar rights concerning User Data or (b) use or disclose User Data for purposes other than each of the items below. Nulab will use User Data for the following purposes:
        1. User Data will be used only for the purpose of providing the Service to Users, including troubleshooting to prevent, detect or solve issues affecting the operation of the Service, as well as improving User Data protection functions by detecting threats occurring and spreading (malware or spam).
        2. Nulab will not disclose User Data to law enforcement agencies unless otherwise required by law. In the event that Nulab is required by a law enforcement agency to disclose User Data, Nulab will request such law enforcement agency to directly make such request to Users. As part of this process, Nulab may provide Users’ basic contact information to the law enforcement agency.  If the disclosure of User Data is compelled by a law enforcement agency, Nulab shall make commercially reasonable efforts to notify the respective Users prior to making such disclosure.
      3. Deletion of User Data. Nulab will delete User Data when the Administrator of the Service submits a service termination request (which means “Deletion of Organization” in Nulab Account or “Termination of Service” in Backlog Classic Plan. The same applies hereinafter.). In this case, User Data may not be recovered once deleted, even by Nulab. The following table summarizes the conditions and timing of deletion for each applicable User Data.
