How information is used
Laudah is a collaborative and engagement platform that helps users to collaborate, communicate and engage in a seamless manner. This, therefore, means that information will be shared through this Service and with other third parties. The way and manner in which we share information are discussed below:
Sharing with other users
Access to Service or Site: To access this Service, you need to create an account. If you access this Service using an email address with a domain that is owned by your organisation or employer, and such an organisation wishes to create an account, some information about you may become accessible to your organisation’s administrator and other users using the same domain. The information collected includes your name, contact details, profile picture, content, and actions performed.
As an administrator for a group of users of this Service, we may share your contact information with other users to facilitate requests related to the use of this Service.
Content creation: This Service allows you to create content which may contain information about you. Based on the settings you or your administrator select, you can grant permission to others to view, edit, copy, share and download such content. Furthermore, some of the collaboration and engagement features of this Service may display some or all of your profile information to other users when you interact or share specific content.
Sharing with third parties
Third-party service providers: We liaise with third parties that help us operate, improve, integrate, maintain, customize, support, and promote this Service. As a result, we may share some of your information with these third-parties.
If a service provider needs to access information about you in order to perform a service on our behalf, they do so under strict instruction from us, and in line with policies and procedures designed to protect your information.
Third-party systems or apps: If you, your administrator or other users of this Service choose to integrate other systems or services with this Service by installing third-party applications or systems, you may give these third parties access to your account and information such as your name, email address, and other content you choose to integrate with those systems and applications. We do not control the privacy policies and practices of third-party systems and applications. Furthermore, this Privacy Policy does not cover how third-party systems or applications use your information. We, therefore, encourage you to regularly review the privacy policies and practices before integrating or using third-party systems and applications
Third-party links: This Service and Site may include links that direct you to third-party websites or services. Any information you submit to third-party websites is governed by their privacy policies and practices, and not this one. We, therefore, encourage you to carefully read and understand the privacy policies and practices of third-party websites or services you visit.
Third-party widgets: Third-party widgets contained in this Site or Service collect your information such as your IP address, the page you are visiting on the Site, and may set a cookie to enhance your experience. Your interactions with these third-party widgets and features are governed by the privacy policy of the provider of such widget and features.

For instance, we may show personal testimonials and feedbacks of customers who are satisfied with the users of this Service or Site. If you give us consent, we may post your name along with the testimonial or feedback.
Business Transfer: We may transfer or share information we collect about you under this Privacy Policy in case of a merger, financing, sale of company assets, or acquisition of part or all of Laudah. You will be notified in the most appropriate manner (e.g a conspicuous notice on this Site or Service) if a business transfer occurs.

Our servers automatically recognize your Internet Protocol (IP) address, where possible. Information about users of Laudah is gathered routinely for the purpose of identifying the use of this Site or Service. The information collected includes pages visited, domains where visitors came from, referral websites, and aggregated data. These pieces of information are used for the purposes of analysis, statistical information, and continuous improvement of our services. The data we collect is used anonymously and aggregately. We may share this information with third parties, but only in aggregate. We treat non-personally identifiable information in accordance with applicable laws, which may be subject to change. Laudah owns all rights in and to this anonymous and aggregated data.
International Transfer
As a global organisation, we handle data transfers to and from countries in accordance with applicable laws and jurisdictions. We ensure adequate protection of your data when such transfer happens.
In addition, we may also share your data with other third parties (e.g governmental authorities) if we are required by law to do so or for the protection of our legitimate interest and/or legal rights.
Information Security and Protection
We ensure that your personal information is protected by implementing reasonable physical, administrative, and technical safeguards to help protect your personal information from unauthorised access, use and disclosure.
Data Retention
Where you have a Laudah profile, we will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose we collected it for or for the duration of your use of Laudah or as required by law. In some cases, your organisation administrator can at any time, with or without notice, delete and remove your data from this Service.
Additionally, we may retain your data for an appropriate period, even after our relationship with you ends, to protect ourselves from legal claims, or for future reference purposes.
Your Legal Rights
You may have additional rights pursuant to your local law applicable to the processing of your personal information. For instance, if the processing of your personal information is subject to the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), and your personal information is processed, you have the legal right to object to the processing on grounds relating to your unique situation.
You can request to access, update or correct your personal information. You also have the right to object to direct marketing. Under GDPR, you may also have the right to request for your personal information to be deleted or restricted.
Children under 13 years of age
We do not intend to collect information from children under the age of 13 or knowingly allow those who are less than 13 years to create profiles on Laudah.
