The Policy is designed to assist you in understanding what Personal Information is collected by UpT, how and, under which legal basis this Personal Information is collected, what and how this Personal Information will be used for and how long will UpT keep it. Also this policy will provide you with guidelines on how to access your Personal Information, modify it and ultimately delete it.
The UpT Privacy Policy is fully compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and will come into force on May 25, 2018. It replaces and voids all previous editions of privacy policies issued by UpT and is applicable to all platforms, websites, applications and solutions delivered by UpT.
What is Personal Information.
"Personal Information" is information that, either alone or in combination with other collected information, can lead to the identification of an individual. When UpT combines other information (i.e., information that does not, on its own, identify an individual) with Personal Information, we treat the combined information as Personal Information.
When and How does UpT Collect and Use Personal Information.
Generally speaking, UpT collects and uses Personal Information for the sole purposes of administering our business activities, providing customer service, and ensuring a smooth and seamless experience to customers and prospective customers.
When you Create a UpT Account
When you create an account on a UpT platform, website or mobile app, we ask you to provide Personal Information, including your name and email address. You will use your email address and your password to login to your account during the time of your commercial relationship with UpT. Your UpT account is password-protected and is your gateway to access UpT products, as well as to our customer service tool.
When deemed relevant, UpT may use the email addresses of the accounts associated with a UpT product to provide commercial or non-commercial information related to the products and services associated to the account. Such information includes, but is not limited to, security update, privacy policy updates, new features or functionality in your products or on your account.
When You decide to login to your UpT Account with Social Media Credentials
You may choose to login to your UpT account using social media login credentials (e.g., your Facebook login credentials). If you choose to do this, when you login to your UpT account using social media login credentials for the first time, you will be asked whether you agree that the social media provider may provide certain information to UpT, such as your name, email address, profile photo, posts, comments and other information associated with your social media account.
All of this information is made available to UpT by the social media provider due to the way the social sign-on configuration works, but of this information, UpT only retains and uses your email address. If you do not want your personal information to be shared with UpT by the social media provider, then we recommend you create login credentials specific to the UpT platform.
When You Buy Products / Start a trial on the UpT Website
If you purchase a product / start a trial for a product on the UpT website, you will be first requested to create an account on our platform.
In addition to the Personal Information collected in the Account creation process, UpT will collect additional Personal Information from you, such as your name, mailing address and telephone number, field of activity as well as your credit card information so that we can process your order and fulfill your purchase.
UpT will also send you emails to confirm your order, and may need to contact you via phone, postal mail or email should we have other questions regarding your order.
When you request Support from UpT
All support requests for any UpT platform, website, app or solution must be logged through a UpT account. To assist you in solving your problem, our customer support representatives may create or ask you to create event logs that are useful in diagnosing solutions or performance related issues. UpT will exclusively use this information to provide you with a solution to your problem. During the support process, we may access your UpT account to assist us in providing you the necessary assistance.

How Do We Protect Your Personal Information?
We utilize encryption/security software to safeguard the confidentiality of personal information we collect from unauthorized access or disclosure and accidental loss, alteration or destruction. Periodically, our operations and business practices are reviewed for compliance with corporate policies and procedures governing the security, confidentiality and quality of our information.
Our corporate values, ethical standards, policies and practices are committed to the protection of customer Personal Information.

How Do We Protect Your Personal Information?
UpT takes reasonable steps to help ensure that the Personal Information we collect from you is accurate, complete and current. In case you need or wish to access, update or modify your Personal Information, you can do so in the "Account settings" section of your UpT Account.
An account can be deleted by the account owner (and only by the account owner) at any point in time. In this case, all Personal Information directly linked to this account will be deleted, but the account owner will also lose access to all UpT products and services assigned to the deleted account.
Personal Information which is not accessible through the UpT Account, such as for example support cases or purchased product history can be deleted by sending an email to legal@sintez.llc
UpT may decline to process requests that jeopardize the privacy of others, are extremely impractical, or would cause us to take any action that is not permissible under applicable laws. Additionally, as permitted by applicable laws, we may need to retain certain Personal Information for a longer period of time for recordkeeping purposes, such as retaining records relating to your purchases for accounting purposes.
Policy with Respect to Children
UpT is concerned about the safety of children when they use the Internet. We will never knowingly request personal information from anyone under the age of 13 without prior verifiable parental or legal guardian consent. If we become aware that a subscriber is under the age of 13 and has signed up without prior verifiable parental consent, we will remove his or her personally identifiable information from our files.
When a school signs up for a large number of solutions from UpT and requests students to create an account, the school is responsible for creating and monitoring those student accounts. Use of UpT by the school implies that it is acting as a proxy for parental consent and agrees to the UpT Privacy Policy as well as Terms and Conditions.
