Personal data is any information from or about an identified or identifiable person, including information that InstaVC can associate with an individual person. We may collect, or process on behalf of our customers, the following categories of personal data when you use or interact with InstaVC products and services:
InstaVC Email refers to InstaVC’s native email service and emails sent from InstaVC’s native email service. InstaVC Email is designed to be end-to-end encrypted by its service provider by default for emails sent and received directly between active InstaVC Email users. Support for end-to-end encryption requires InstaVC Email users to have added a device to their InstaVC Email account with the associated email address and to use a supported client.
When an email is end-to-end encrypted, only the users, and, depending on their settings, account owners, or designated account administrators control the encryption key and therefore access to the email content, including body text, subject line, attachments and custom labels applied to messages by users in their inboxes.
In all cases, InstaVC may have access to email metadata used for basic email delivery—specifically, email addresses in the form ID, and the number and size of attachments. From use of InstaVC’s native calendar service, InstaVC receives information regarding meeting invitations, body text, sender and recipients, and other calendar information.
Information about your communications with InstaVC, including relating to support questions, your account, and other inquiries.
InstaVC provides personal data to third parties only with consent or in one of the following circumstances (subject to your prior consent where required under applicable law):
If an account owner licensed or purchased InstaVC products and services from a third-party reseller of InstaVC products and services, the reseller may be able to access personal data and content for users, including meetings, webinars, and messages hosted by the account owner.
InstaVC works with third-party service providers to provide, support, and improve InstaVC products and services and technical infrastructure, and for business services such as payment processing, including in relation to purchases made through the InstaVC App Marketplace. InstaVC may also work with third-party service providers to provide advertisements and business analytics regarding InstaVC products and services. These vendors can access personal data subject to contractual and technical requirements for protecting personal data and prohibiting them from using personal data for any purpose other than to provide services to InstaVC or as required by law.
InstaVC may share personal data as needed to:
InstaVC uses third-party marketing, advertising, and analytics providers: to provide statistics and analysis about how people are using InstaVC products and services, including our website; and to provide advertising and marketing for InstaVC products and services, including targeted advertising based on your use of our website. These third-party partners may receive information about your activities on InstaVC’s website through third-party cookies placed on InstaVC’s website. To opt out of our use of third-party cookies that share data with these partners, visit our cookie management tool, available in Cookies Settings.
InstaVC shares personal information with corporate affiliates, such as InstaVC Unified Communications Pvt Ltd, to provide integrated and consistent experiences across InstaVC products and services and to detect, investigate, and prevent fraud, abuse, and threats to public safety.
We may share personal data with actual or prospective acquirers, their representatives and other relevant participants in, or during negotiations of, any sale, merger, acquisition, restructuring, or change in control involving all or a portion of InstaVC’s business or assets, including in connection with bankruptcy or similar proceedings.
If you purchase a third-party app or integration from the InstaVC App Marketplace, InstaVC may share information about the purchase with the third-party developer, to provide the app or integration.
When you send messages or join meetings and webinars on InstaVC, other people and organizations, including third parties outside the meeting, webinar, or message, may be able to see content and information that you share:
An account owner is the organization or individual that signs up for a InstaVC account. Typically, an account owner designates one or more people (called an “administrator”) to manage their account and can grant privileges to users on the account. Depending on their license with InstaVC, the account owner can authorize additional users on their account, and the account owner can create and/or access the profile information for all users on their account. The account owner and their users can invite others (including guests not on their account and unlicensed participants) to meetings or webinars hosted on their account.
InstaVC gives account owners controls and features that they can use to determine whether certain types of content, such as recordings or InstaVC Team Chat messages, can be created or sent, and what third-party apps can be used, for meetings and webinars hosted on their account. Depending on their settings, account owners and the users they designate can access personal data for participants who join meetings and webinars on their account or send messages to users on their account. Specifically, account owners may have access to:
We only use your information in a lawful, transparent, and fair manner. Depending on the specific personal data concerned and the factual context, when InstaVC processes personal data as a controller for individuals in regions such as the EEA, Switzerland, and the UK, we rely on the following legal bases as applicable in your jurisdiction:
InstaVC operates globally, which means personal data may be transferred, stored (for example, in a data center), and processed outside of the country or region where it was initially collected where InstaVC or its service providers have customers or facilities – including in countries where meeting participants or account owners hosting meetings or webinars that you participate in or receiving messages that you send are based.
Therefore, by using InstaVC products and services or providing personal data for any of the purposes stated above, you acknowledge that your personal data may be transferred to or stored in the United States, India, as well as in any other countries outside the EEA, Switzerland, and the UK. Such countries may have data protection rules that are different and less protective than those of your country.
We protect your personal data in accordance with this Privacy Statement wherever it is processed and take appropriate contractual or other steps to protect it under applicable laws. Where personal data of users in the EEA, Switzerland, or the UK is being transferred to a recipient located in a country outside the EEA, Switzerland, or the UK which has not been recognized as having an adequate level of data protection, we ensure that the transfer is governed by the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses. Please contact us if you would like further information in that respect.
