  1. DATA CONTROLLER AND DATA PROCESSOR  

In relation to your personal data processed via the Applications, Stratus may be either a Data Controller or Data Processor.   

When Stratus acts in the capacity of a Data Controller, Stratus determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. The purpose of data processing is the reason why we process your personal data. The table in Section 3.1 of the Privacy Policy presents the purposes and legal basis for data processing. In those cases, Stratus is responsible for your personal data.  

 If Stratus is processing your data in the capacity of a Data Controller, should you have any inquiries, or you wish to exercise any of the rights of a Data Subject stipulated in Section 9, please contact us:  

  • Stratus add-ons DOO NOVI SAD 

  • Pariske komune 6, 21000 Novi Sad, Republika Srbija 

  • Email: ​support@stratus-addons.com.​  

In relation to the usage of Apps itself, Stratus will primarily process your data in the capacity of a Data Processor. Given that Stratus strongly supports fair personal data processing, despite being only a Data Processor in the below-listed cases, Stratus made an additional effort to explain such personal data processing via Applications - in Section 3.2 of this Privacy Policy. The information contained therein outlines how personal data processing via Apps functions in general, but if you wish to send an inquiry, or exercise any of the rights that you may have under the applicable data protection law as the Data Subject, please contact the Client directly, as they hold the position of Data Controller.  

Since Stratus is a company operating under Data Protection Law, Stratus as a Data Processor is obliged to sign the Data Processing Addendum (hereinafter: “DPA”) with Clients as Data Controllers, in relation to the provision of the Services. The DPA reflects the agreement between Client and Stratus regarding the terms that govern the processing of personal data in relation to the use of Apps and Stratus’ Service. Signing the DPA will be considered as an amendment to the Agreement and will be considered to form a part of the Agreement. The DPA includes the Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the European Commission and Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the Commissioner for information of public importance and personal data protection of the Republic of Serbia, as applicable. 

  

  1. WHAT DATA DO WE PROCESS ABOUT YOU AND WHEN?  

We may collect and receive information about you in various ways:

  1.  STRATUS AS DATA PROCESSOR  

 In most cases, we will act as Data Processors. 

 As previously stated, concerning some of your personal data processed on the Applications, Stratus is a Data Processor, and the Client is the Data Controller. Stratus processes personal data following instructions from the Data Controller under the Agreement and DPA. The purpose of such personal data processing includes but is not limited to using the functionalities of the Application (eg. generating diagrams), and provision of technical support by Stratus. 

 As a processor, Stratus is permitted to collect, use, disclose and/or otherwise process your personal data only in accordance with its agreements with the Client. 

 

3.2.1 Processing during the Usage of the Applications  

  1. Personal data uploaded while using Applications’ functionalities 

 Your data will be processed in case you share personal data while using the functionalities of the Applications (for example when the text you chose to turn into a graph or diagram contains personal data). Since the functionalities of the Apps provide a number of possibilities for the Users to insert different types of Personal Data, it is not possible to determine the precise list of types of Personal Data. 

 

  1. Personal data processed while providing customer support 

 Your data may be processed in case the User requests customer support in relation to the Applications and Services. In case customer support is needed, the User can anonymously report an issue via the JIRA software within the Atlassian platform. However, the User may voluntarily disclose their contact information to the Processor, such as name, surname, email address, App-related ID numbers and similar details. Additionally, to enable the provision of customer support, the User can send the Processor diagrams created within the Apps, which may contain Personal Data, the entire page containing such a diagram, error message logs, as well as screenshots/screen-recording, and thus the Processor may come into contact with Personal Data. After the completion of customer support, the Processor does not retain Personal Data collected in this manner. 

 

  1. WHAT DO WE NOT DO? 

 Stratus will never:  

  • Sell any kind of personal information or data. 

  • Disclose this information to marketers or third parties not specified in Section 6 of the Privacy Policy. 

  • Process your data in any way other than stated in this Privacy Policy. 

 

  1. PERSONAL DATA SECURITY 

 We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal information from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. We limit access to your personal information to those employees and contractors who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal information on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality. 

 We train employees regarding our data privacy policies and procedures, and permit authorised employees and staff to access information on a need to know basis, as required for their role. We use firewalls designed to protect against intruders, test for network vulnerabilities and use encryption for data at rest and data in transmission. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. 

Your information related to the usage of Apps is saved on Atlassian Marketplace’s servers as explained in more detail on the following link: https://support.atlassian.com/security-and-access-policies/docs/understand-data-residency/

 Remember – all information you submit to us by email is never completely secure, so we advise you not to send sensitive information in any email to Stratus or to anonymize data before its submission.   

 

  1. WITH WHOM DO WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL DATA?  

Stratus may utilize external processors and sub-processors or other data controllers for certain processing activities. We conduct information audits to identify, categorize and record all personal data that is processed outside our company so that the information, processing activity, processor, and legal basis are all recorded, reviewed, and easily accessible.   

We have strict due diligence procedures and measures in place and review, assess and background check all processors prior to forming a business relationship. We obtain company documents, certifications, and references and ensure that the (sub)processor is adequate, appropriate, and effective for the task we are employing them for.

  1. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFER OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA  

Given that Stratus is registered and operating in the Republic of Serbia, your data will be  transferred to the Republic of Serbia. In that case, we will also apply appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure an adequate level of security in respect of all personal data we process. If the Data Protection  Law applies to you, we make sure that such transfer is made by applying the appropriate safeguard measures (such as Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the European Commission).  

If you would like to obtain more information about these protective measures, please contact us at ​support@stratus-addons.com.​  

Kindly note that for all transfers made by other data controllers (e.g., Atlassian Marketplace or Client), it is necessary to consult the privacy policies of those controllers.  

Your personal data is stored on Atlassian Marketplace’s servers. More information about the location of these servers can be found at the following link: https://support.atlassian.com/security-and-access-policies/docs/understand-data-residency/ .   

 

  1. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR DATA?  

We do not retain collected Data longer than necessary to fulfill the purpose for which they were collected, or longer than the retention period for which we have your consent, as further described in section 3 of this Privacy Policy.  

When determining the data retention period, we take into account relevant regulations, contractual obligations, as well as the expectations and requirements of our clients and business partners. If the Data are no longer needed, or if you explicitly request that the collected Data about you be deleted, provided that such deletion is permitted by law, we will delete or destroy the collected Data in accordance with applicable law and our internal procedures.  

However, as an exception to the data retention periods in Section 3, data may be processed longer for the purpose of submitting, enforcing, or defending a legal claim or counterclaim.  

Furthermore, if a specific imperative regulation defines the obligation to retain certain data for a period longer than stated in Section 3, we are obliged to retain the data within that period.  

 

  1. YOUR RIGHTS  

Given that fairness and transparency are our cornerstone principles, we wanted to remind you of the rights that you have as a Data Subject. These rights may be exercised by Data Subject when Stratus operates as a Data Controller.  

If your inquiry or exercise of any of the Data Subject's rights relates to the data processed by the Client or Atlassian Marketplace as a Data Controller as explained in Section 3.2 of the Privacy Policy, please contact the Data Controller.  

In the event Stratus receives a request for exercising any of these rights directly from a Data Subject, we are obliged to notify the Data Controller before responding to such a request.   

Right of Access 

 You can send us a request for a copy of the personal data we hold about you. 

 We have ensured that appropriate measures have been taken to provide such in a concise, transparent, intelligible, and easily accessible form, using clear and plain language. Such information is provided in writing free of charge. It may be provided by other means when authorized by the Data Subject and with prior verification as to the subject's identity. 

 Information is provided to the Data Subject at the earliest convenience, but at a maximum of 30 days from the date the request was received. Where the provision of information is particularly complex or is subject to a valid delay, the period may be extended by two further months where necessary.

Right to Object to Processing 

 You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data where that processing is being undertaken based on the Data Controller’s legitimate interest. In such a case the Data Controller is required to cease processing your data unless they can demonstrate adequate grounds that override your objection.  

Right to Correction of Your Personal Data   

If your personal data processed by the Data Controller is incorrect, you have the right to request that we correct those data.  When notified of inaccurate data by the Data Subject, we will rectify the error within 30 days and inform any third party of the rectification if we have disclosed the personal data in question to them.  

Right to Erasure   

You have the right to request that your personal data is deleted in certain circumstances, such as: 

  • The personal data are no longer needed for the purpose for which they were collected; 

  • You withdraw your consent (where the processing was based on consent); 

  • You object to the processing and no overriding legitimate grounds are justifying processing the personal data;  

  • The personal data have been unlawfully processed; or 

  • To comply with a legal obligation.  

However, this right does not apply where, for example, the processing is necessary:  

  • To comply with our legal obligation (such as, for example, compliance with retention periods from applicable clinical trials rules and regulations); or 

  • For the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.  

​​​​​​​​​​​ If you decide to use your right to erasure, as a processor we have an obligation to notify the controller about your request and ask for the instructions. Only after the controller approves, we are authorized to erase your personal data.  

Right to Restriction of Processing   

You can exercise your right to the restriction of processing in the following situations: 

 if the accuracy of the personal data is contested, 

  • you consider the processing unlawful, but you do not want your personal data to be erased,  

  • we no longer need the personal data, but you require it for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or you have objected to the processing and verification.  

Right to Data Portability   

Where you have provided personal data to us, you have the right to receive such personal data back in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and to have those data transmitted to a third-party without hindrance, but in each case only where:  

  • The processing is carried out by automated means; and 

  • The processing is based on your consent or the performance of a contract with you.  

Right to Withdraw the Consent   

If you have provided your consent to the collection, processing, and transfer of your personal data, you have the right to fully or partly withdraw your consent. Once we have received notification that you have withdrawn your consent, we will no longer process your information for the purpose(s) to which you originally consented unless there is another legal ground for the processing.  

Right to Lodge a Complaint  

If you have any concerns or requests in relation to your personal data, please contact us at support@stratus-addons.com and we will respond as soon as possible but not later than 30 days.
