What personally identifiable information do we collect, and when do we collect it?

However, as a visitor to Appspace Sites, you may choose to apply for a job with us, engage in correspondence with us regarding any questions you may have, or express an interest in receiving additional information from us about Appspace and our offerings. In such situations, we may ask you to voluntarily provide personal information – such as your name, contact details, or company name.

You can also select a paid subscription, which offers enhanced Services and support. When you register, we ask for your first and last name, email address, company/group, country (time zone), and to enter a password of your choice (please note passwords must meet applicable industry integrity best practices and must meet Appspace requirements). Once you are a registered user, a new account is provisioned in one or more Appspace Sites and Salesforce (“CRM”), which adds to our records the following information: subscription level, registration date, and renewal date (which is twelve months from the registration date).
