​
FAIR USE POLICY
At Nomadesk we don’t impose fixed limits to the amount of storage you put on your Vaults. We don’t charge you per GB of storage or for Bandwidth used or for the load that you generate on our systems.To date, instances of “unfair use” have been very rare ensuring customers continue to enjoy the limitless qualities of our service.
What does this Fair Use Policy mean?
Nomadesk is a shared service and we cannot allow the actions of a few users to negatively influence the system performance for the majority. Some types of activities are obviously violations such as the placing of illegal content on to a Nomadesk Vault and we retain the right to shut down the Vault for these purposes. However, some other activities can cause network performance issues. These activities are difficult to summarize in a policy but are usually caused by a combination of items such as file types used, applications running, storage capacities, geographic locations, etc. As such, we retain the right to intervene in order to uphold the overall Nomadesk high-quality user experience.​
When do we invoke the Fair Use Policy?
-
Nomadesk retains the right to limit or halt service to any user placing dangerous or illegal content on a Vault. E.g., don’t store illegally downloaded music on your Nomadesk Vault. Laws that prohibit accommodating this particular use bind Nomadesk.
-
Nomadesk retains the right to limit or halt service to any user imposing excessive load on the Nomadesk system so that this will compromise the system performance for the majority. E.g., don’t turn your Nomadesk Vault into a popular software-sharing site. It’s just not meant to be used that way.
-
Nomadesk retains the right to limit or halt service to any user, in the rare event that we are not able to keep up with the overall storage growth.
-
Nomadesk regularly runs usage statistics on its storage infrastructure; we use the 99th percentile to benchmark excessive storage consumption. Such users, that are beyond par, might be contacted by our sales team with a tailored commercial proposal. Customers with minimum 10 paid licenses are exempted from the “99th percentile rule”.
What happens when we invoke the Fair Use Policy?
Nomadesk wishes to keep its customers satisfied, even those who are in violation of the Fair Use Policy, because we acknowledge that this might not be intentional. Therefore, when we invoke the Fair Use Policy, by limiting or halting the service, we will get in touch with the impacted users to find a mutually agreeable solution.
​
DATA COLLECTION POLICY
How do we improve our software?
At Nomadesk, we strive to continuously improve the quality of our software. In addition to our development process, we also monitor the quality of our products by collecting information about errors and problems. The information helps us to diagnose problems so we can further improve our software and service(s).​
How do we collect information?
If a problem occurs in our software program, a report is automatically sent to our server. You are not prompted to review the information that is sent out because no personal information is collected.​
What types of information do we collect?
The reporting service collects information about problems that occur behind the scenes while you work with Nomadesk. It is important to diagnose errors that occur behind the scenes because these problems, if left unsolved, may cause additional problems such as performance or program
failures. Reports contain information that is most useful for diagnosing and solving the problem that has occurred, such as:
-
In what part of the software the problem occurred
-
Type of the problem
Your Internet Protocol (IP) address and, when you allow this, your GPS coordinates are also collected because you are connecting to our servers and to allow you to Theftguard your files.
Reports might unintentionally contain personal information, but this information is not used to identify you.​
Who can use the information and how can it be used?
Nomadesk uses information about errors and problems to improve the software and services. Nomadesk employees may be provided access to information collected by the reporting service. However, they may use the information only to diagnose and repair issues or improve the Nomadesk products.
​Information storage, processing and release:
Nomadesk maintains datacenter facilities in Brussels. Information that we collect may be stored and processed in Belgium. Nomadesk abides to the policy regarding the collection, use, and retention of data from the European Union. Nomadesk may disclose this information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on Nomadesk; (b) protect or defend the rights or property of Nomadesk, or (c) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of Nomadesk employees, users of Nomadesk software or services, or members of the public.
Nomadesk occasionally hires other companies to provide limited services on its behalf, such as providing customer support, processing transactions. Nomadesk will provide these companies only the information they need to deliver the service. They are required to maintain the confidentiality of the information and are prohibited from using it for any other purpose.
Security practices:
Nomadesk is committed to helping protect the security of the information we collect. The Error Reporting Service uses multiple security technologies and procedures to help protect information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. For example, reports are sent to Nomadesk from your computer using encryption technology. The information is then stored on computer servers with controlled access.
​
DATA RETENTION POLICY
When you decide to no longer use the Nomadesk service, or wish to remove certain Vaults or users, we do not “hang on” to your data. Nomadesk has created a fully automated data cleanup process ensuring unrecoverable removal. As we notify the affected users via email during the process, it is of utmost importance that email addresses are kept up-to-date in our system by the Nomadesk users.​
When a Vault is removed, Vault data will be destroyed in 30 calendar days (i.e., “T”-time).
The “Vault Admin” will receive the following emails:
-
Immediately: data will be removed permanently in 30 calendar days
-
T-14 days: data will be removed permanently in 14 calendar days (final notice)
When a license is removed by the “Group Admin/Manager“.
The managed user, whose license was removed, will enter a grace period of 14 calendar days and receive the following emails:
-
Immediately: you have entered a grace period, access will be removed in 14 calendar days
-
After 14 calendar days: your grace period has expired, access has been revoked
-
When the grace period ends and the managed user owns Vaults, they will be removed cfr. the Vault removal flow above.
When a license or trial expires (no payment).
Access for the affected users is revoked immediately. Both “Group Admin/Manager” and affected users will receive the following emails:
-
Immediately: license has expired, access has been revoked. If the user owns Vaults: Your data will be removed permanently in 30 days
-
T-14 days: The data will be removed permanently in 14 calendar days (final notice)
