CANOPY PRIVACY STATEMENT
Published as of September 22, 2019
INTRODUCTION
Canopy is a software as a service platform that offers automated wealth data aggregation and portfolio visualization. Security and safety of Our clients’ data and information is top priority. We explain here how We handle and protect your information.
DEFINITIONS
The Definitions used in our Terms of Service and Subscription Agreement apply to this Privacy Statement.
ANONYMOUS USER POLICY
No Personally Identifiable Information Required
Canopy is an anonymous service and will not request your name, address, identification number, phone number, or other information by which you may be personally identified (collectively, your Personally Identifiable Information, or “PII”).
In fact, We ask that you remove any such PII from the data that you provide to Us or otherwise authorize Us to have access to (collectively, your “Data”). We provide you with a software tool that will remove the PII from your data, and We can also recommend third party PDF text replacement or editing software that will do the same. For your added protection, please refrain from including any PII or other non-public information in your communication with Us, including your emails.
In the event your Data contains any PII, We will make best effort not to read, process or store such information on Canopy, and prevent them from appearing in your Canopy user area or in the reports generated by Us. Our Data Retention policy further dictates that We will delete your original Personal Financial Data (as defined below) within a reasonable time after the relevant financial information therein has been extracted and processed into Our database for the purpose of generating reports.
Whilst We take all reasonable steps to implement and comply with the above measures, please be informed that these measures are provided on a best-effort basis and We will not be liable for any inadvertent use, disclosure or retention of any PII disclosed to Us by you, intentionally or otherwise. In the event any such PII is inadvertently captured either in your Canopy user area or in any report generated by Canopy, please immediately notify Us so that We may promptly rectify the situation.
Communicating with Us
We offer two specific communication methods that are designed to maintain your anonymity in the course of your interaction with Us.
The first communication method is to utilize the customer service messaging box found in the Canopy user area. The second communication method is via anonymous email. Upon opening your account, We will ask you to register an email address that will be linked to your Canopy account. We encourage you to set up an email address which contains no information from which your personal identity may be inferred, for the sole use of Canopy. If required, We can guide you on the setup of such an email address.
Aside from the above, you may still communicate with Us via telephone, third party internet voice and chat providers, social media communication channels or via any email address that you regularly use. In such cases, We may receive information that discloses or could be used to establish your identity. We will, however, respect the confidentiality of such information (as with any other information that We receive from you) and will only use and/or retain the information strictly in accordance with Our usage policy (see Use of Your Data and Information below).
USE OF YOUR DATA AND INFORMATION
Personal Financial Data
We use the financial account statements and other financial data that you provide to Us or authorize Us to have access (collectively, your “Personal Financial Data”), in order to deliver the Canopy service you have subscribed to. We will maintain such data as strictly confidential and will not sell, lease or distribute the same to any third party (other than certain trusted third party service providers involved in the operations of Our business and performing services on Our behalf, with restricted access to customer data and information, on a need-to-know basis only, and in compliance with this Privacy Statement) without your documented approval, unless We are required or requested to do so by law or any regulatory authority for the jurisdiction that We operate in. For the avoidance of doubt, Personal Financial Data for this purpose does not include information that is aggregated with similar data from other users to produce Meta Data as described below, or is otherwise no longer identifiable to any specific Canopy user.
Meta data
For the purpose of producing statistical collective data amongst Canopy users (“Meta Data”), We may aggregate your Personal Financial Data together with similar data from other Canopy users. Meta Data will be produced in such a manner that the underlying data will be no longer identifiable to any specific user. We may share Meta Data amongst Canopy users as part of the service provided, and also with Our business partners and other third parties to help Us make improvements and/or enhancements to Our products and services and for marketing, research and academic purposes.
Personally Identifiable Information
As stated earlier, should you voluntarily provide Us with any of your PII, We treat such information with strict confidentiality. We will not sell, lease, or distribute the same to any third party without your documented approval, unless We are required or requested to do so by law or any regulatory authority for the jurisdiction that We operate in. Such data will be used solely to facilitate communication, and processing of internal administrative and record keeping.
KEEPING YOUR DATA AND INFORMATION SAFE
What We do
We are committed to the safety and security of your data and information. We place your data and information in a protected and secure database and deploy firewalls, SSL and encryption technology for data transmission. We subject ourselves to regular checks by third party security evaluation specialists and restrict access to customer data and information by Our staff on a need-to-know basis only. We also implement and maintain procedures to monitor staff activity regarding such access. On top of these measures, We implement the Anonymous User Policy as mentioned earlier.
The aforementioned security efforts do not preclude Us from the possibility of fraud, cyber-attacks, such as hacking, spyware and viruses, and We do not warrant that Our servers or network will be immune from such attacks. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from such risks.
What you should and should not do
You should ensure that your username, password, and if applicable, two factor authentication device required to access the Service is kept secure and confidential at all times and make every reasonable effort to prevent unauthorized third parties from accessing the Service using your user ID, password, and if applicable, two factor authentication device. In public areas, you should exercise caution and not leave your computer unattended whilst logged into your account. You should also avoid using public computer terminals to access your Canopy account, unless you can adequately verify that the terminal is free from spyware and that you can erase all of your information upon exiting the terminal. We will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from unauthorized access to your account due to any failure to comply with these precautions.
Other Data
Canopy may record certain non-personal information such as Website usage and browsing activity, data displayed or clicked on (such as UI elements), and others (such as IP address, cookie ID, and referrer URL). Along with cookies, Canopy may also use third-party tracking technology, such as Google Analytics, to record similar information regarding you and your activity on the Canopy Website. We may grant access to your data and information to certain trusted third party services providers that We work with, but only to perform the service on Our behalf with restricted access to customer data and information on a need-to-know basis only, and in compliance with this Privacy Statement.
Data Retention
We will delete your original Personal Financial Data within a reasonable time after the relevant financial information has been extracted and processed into Our database for the purpose of generating reports. We will retain your account information for as long as you use Canopy. If you decide to stop the service, We will delete all such data within a reasonable time after the termination of the service, subject to retention for purposes of complying with applicable laws, resolving disputes, enforcing the terms of Our agreement with you and protecting Canopy’s intellectual property rights.
Changes
By using Canopy, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Statement. We may revise the terms of this Privacy Statement from time to time and will always present the most up-to-date version on Our Website. It is your responsibility to periodically review and keep yourself appraised of the latest terms but, if any revision meaningfully affects your rights, We will take reasonable steps to notify you of such changes.
Please inform Us of any changes to your email address and other communication preferences and We will take steps to update Our records after receiving such notification.
CONTACT
If you have questions or concerns about this Privacy Statement or about Our use or retention of your PII or Personal Financial Data, please contact Us via email at connect@canopy.cloud or any other designated email address provided to you by Us, or through communication with the Designated Partner (if applicable), or via post mail, addressed to Canopy Pte.
