In exceptional cases we may also collect and process sensitive Personal Data about you, but only where we inform you in advance and you have given us your explicit consent.
We will continue to collect the same categories of Personal Information listed in the chart above, for the same purposes. If this should change, we will issue an updated Privacy Notice.
How long we keep your Personal Information will depend on the purpose for which we use it.
We only keep your Personal Information for as long as is reasonably necessary for the purposes set out in this Notice and applicable Addendums and to fulfill our legal obligations. We have internal rules that set out how long we retain Personal Information. What this means in practice will vary as between different types of information, any ongoing need for the information, and our legal obligations (for example, relating to tax, health and safety, and potential or actual disputes or investigations).
Where Do We Collect Personal Data About You From?
We may collect Personal Data about you from the following sources:
- Directly from you. This is information you provide to us.
- From an agent or third party acting on your behalf, e.g., from one of our recruitment agencies.
- Through publicly available sources, such as LinkedIn or even by word of mouth.
- Using CCTV cameras. Where we have cameras on our premises, your image and movements will be recorded.
- Regarding our Services, some have use through a mobile app. These mobile apps are collecting location data constantly, whether the app is being actively used or not, according to user permissions as dictated by an Agreement between Accruent and its applicable client.
The third parties with whom we share your Personal Information are bound to comply with similar and equally stringent undertakings of privacy and confidentiality.
We also share your Personal Information with third parties in the following circumstances:
- to comply with legal obligations;
- when we believe in good faith that an applicable law requires it;
- at the request of governmental authorities or other third parties conducting an investigation;
- to detect and protect against fraud, or any technical or security vulnerabilities;
- to respond to an emergency;
- to otherwise protect the rights, property, safety, or security of third parties, visitors to our websites, our businesses, or the public.
We do not grant access to your Personal Information to any other third parties unless we say so in this Privacy Notice or unless required by law.
Our Services are not directed toward minors under the age of 18 and we do not knowingly collect or sell the Personal Information of minors.
We ensure the security of your Personal Information by implementing a specific set of technical and organisational security measures that are based on controls published by the Center for Internet Security. These controls call for the use of encryption, firewalls, and other measures that ensure we provide a level of security appropriate to the risk presented by a particular situation. We implement and maintain reasonable security appropriate to the nature of the Personal Information that we collect, use, retain, transfer, or otherwise process. Our reasonable security program is implemented and maintained in accordance with applicable law.
While we are committed to developing, implementing, maintaining, monitoring, and updating a reasonable information security program, no such program can be perfect; in other words, all risk cannot reasonably be eliminated. Data security incidents and breaches can occur due to vulnerabilities, criminal exploits, or other factors that cannot reasonably be prevented. Accordingly, while our security program is designed to manage data security risks and help prevent data security incidents and breaches, it cannot be assumed that the occurrence of any given incident or breach results from our failure to implement and maintain reasonable security.
We may share your Personal Information with third parties who provide services on our behalf to help with our business activities. Examples of third party service providers include email service providers to send out emails on our behalf, an employment management provider, or a credit card processing provider to process payments for certain transactions. These third parties comply with similar and equally stringent undertakings of privacy and confidentiality.
We may disclose your Personal Information (a) as required by law to comply with a subpoena, or similar legal process when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate or protect against fraud or any technical or security vulnerabilities, respond to an emergency or a government request, or otherwise to protect the rights, property, safety, or security of third parties, visitors to our website, our business, or the general public, and (b) to any other third party with your prior consent to do so.
We share your Personal Information with our other Fortive Group companies for internal reasons, primarily for business and operational purposes
As we continue to develop our business, we may sell or purchase assets. If another entity acquires us or merges with us your Personal Information will be disclosed to such entity.
If any bankruptcy or reorganization proceeding is brought by or against us, all such Personal Information will be considered an asset of ours and as such it is possible they will be sold or transferred to third parties.
No third parties have access to your Personal Information unless we specifically say so in this Notice or applicable Addendums, or if the law requires such access.

If you are interested in learning more about and/or opting out of online behavioral advertising, sometimes called interest-based advertising, we encourage you to visit one of the advertising industry-developed opt-out pages, such as youradchoices.com or aboutads.info.
