Our Privacy Policy covers the personal information we collect from you when you provide it to us, such as contact details, when you use our services, when other sources provide it to us or when you otherwise interact with us by, for example, attending a trade show. It also explains, how we secure your personal information, how and why we share your personal information and how you can access and control the personal information we collect from you.
How we use the personal information we collect from you partly depends on which of our services you use, how you use them and any preferences you have communicated to us.

Where our SaaS and on-premises services are made available to you through an organisation (e.g. your employer), that organisation is the administrator of the services and is responsible for the accounts over which it has control. In this case, please direct your data privacy-related questions to your administrator, as your use of the services is subject to that organisation’s policies.
If you are a TOPdesk customer and use our SaaS or support services, please direct any inquiry regarding the processing and sharing of personal information stored in your TOPdesk environment to your account manager.
We reserve the right to amend our Privacy Policy from time to time without notice of change in order to respond to changes in our services, our business or applicable law.
