Privacy Policy

1. Commitment and Agreement
Protecting your personal information is our paramount concern. Without excellent privacy protection, our enterprise fails. Consequently, we are devoutly committed to protecting your privacy and the confidentiality of any information you provide to us.
In this policy, the BuiltSpace software and the BuiltSpace website will collectively be called the “software”, the word “policy” means this policy and includes any amendments made to it from time to time, “User” means a user of the software and “Fellow Users” means other Users within the organization, building, structure, or space in which the User is a member.
In exchange for viewing and/or using our software, you agree: (1) our privacy policy contains all of the privacy terms governing your viewing or using our software and our website and our operation of them; and, (2) we can collect, store and use your personal information as described in this privacy policy.
We will own the Collected Information (defined below) and will not sell or share it unless permitted by this policy.
If you do not agree with these terms, you cannot view or use our software. If you agree at first but change your mind, you must immediately stop viewing or using our software. Any Collected Information you have given to us before you changed your mind will be kept by us and we will deal with it according to this policy.
If a User accesses another website or software supplied by someone else that is accessed through a link or other connection in our software, this policy will not apply to information provided to the other website or software supplier; instead their privacy policy(ies) will apply.

2. Purpose of Software
The purpose of our software is to digitally capture business processes (work product) related to the construction, operations, maintenance, and services delivery associated with the built environment, to create a healthy, safe and sustainable and resilient environment for future generations. For optimal use of the software to perform work product, information must be exchanged between the Users in collaboration.

3. How we collect your data
BuiltSpace collects information in three ways:

b) Automatically through your web browser or mobile application, relating to the location, and environmental conditions at the site of work product;
c) From IoT devices, beacons, building management system sensors and other computerized enterprise systems, through API integration.

4. What do we collect?
We collect “Collected Information” (meaning the personal information collected by us pursuant to this policy) and “Anonymous Information” (meaning information that cannot be connected to a User and that will be anonymized –that is, made anonymous to conceal the identity of the User – and comments from Users and visitors about the software) to allow us to operate, maintain, repair and upgrade the software, and to allow us to protect the confidentiality and privacy of your personal information. As part of the Collected Information, we may collect other information about you (see the discussion below about User Preferences and User Rejects) but you decide whether we can collect it or not.
From all Users we collect
a) the User’s name;

c) the IP address of the computer from which the User accesses our software, the operating system and browser used by the User’s Computer and any Uniform Resource Locators (URL)’s associated with it and any cookies (for a definition of cookies and an explanation of what they do and how to manage them, please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_cookie) and, if the User or visitor links to our program from another website or program, the address of that website or program;
d) service work product, as defined by the Subscriber, with start and end times when our software is accessed and duration of the work site visit;
e) location data of services performed by Users, in the course of their submitted work product;
f) a log of the buttons you click in the software, technical details about the use of the software and how it functions in response to clicks and other commands;

From only those Users who give us their PRIOR APPROVAL to do so, we collect:
i) indications of which products and/or services are of interest to those Users (“User Preferences“) and which are not of interest to them (“User Rejects“).
From the person or persons who sign the Subscription Agreement, we collect:

5. Why do we collect it and what do we do with it?
Collected Information is collected for the following purposes:
a) to protect the privacy and confidentiality of Collected Information and the Anonymous Information;
b) to administer, operate, maintain, improve and repair the software. This includes sending notices and information to Users about security matters and/or operating, maintaining, improving and repairing the software;
c) in the case of User Preferences, to understand which of the products or services are of interest to the User and to provide the Software User with information and, occasionally, advertising about those products or services;
d) in the case of User Preferences, on an anonymized basis only, to make the suppliers of the products and/or services aware that the User likes their goods or services and generally the number and type(s) of Users who like their goods and services;
e) in the case of User Rejects, to record the products or services which are not of interest to the User so we can, as best as reasonably possible, ensure the User does not receive information about those products or services. To accomplish the latter goal, we may need to identify the User and the associated User Rejects to the party who supplies those products or services to ensure the User does not receive information about those products or services. If we must identify the User for this purpose we will, as best as reasonably possible, ensure the recipient promises not to make any further use or sharing of information about the User;
f) in the case of Building Info, to aggregate the Collected Information and share it, when requested, with Fellow Users and, when requested, with the Organizations, Building or Buildings in which the User is a member;
g) also in the case of Building Info, to transmit, to the User, information from Fellow Users in the Building or in other Buildings;
h) please recall that the purpose of our software is to reduce consumption of energy, GHG emissions and other inputs in the Building and to make their use more efficient and sustainable. The Collected Information may be shared, on an anonymized basis, with suppliers of the energy and other resources and inputs, and with consultants who need the information to study the use of the energy and other resources and inputs and understand how to reduce their consumption and/or make their use more efficient and sustainable;
i) all Collected Information is stored on our servers (which may include cloud servers) in Canada.
j) Anonymous Information is used to determine use levels and characteristics of the software, to detect problems with it and to operate, maintain, improve and repair the software. Anonymous Information will include anonymized comments about the software.
k) When a User’s account is closed, personal data will be removed however, non-personal data created or modified previously entered will retain user, time, location and service activity completed in the course of employment while a user. We will keep a copy of the profile as a record of the User’s use of the Software and we will keep a copy of all posts, comments, etc., made by the User as a record of that activity. This information will be deleted from our records over time in accordance with our records retention and destruction policy/practices. All posts and comments made by the User will remain available to other Users and, in the case of public-facing pages, to the public.
