At Releem, Inc. ("Releem," "Company," "Us," "We," or "Our"), we are committed to protecting the privacy of our users. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your Personal Information when you use our website, available at releem.com ("Site"), and our services ("Service").

1. Introduction and Definitions

"Site" refers to the Company's website, accessible at releem.com. "Service" refers to the Company's services accessed via the Site, where users can monitor and tune the configuration of database servers. "You" or "Customer" refers to you, as an authorized user of our Site or our Service, typically an employee or representative of an organization that subscribes to Releem's services. "Personal Information" includes data that can be used to identify an individual. For Releem's Service, this primarily refers to customer-provided email addresses, name, and related authentication data of authorized users of the Releem platform. Important: We do not collect or process any personal data from end-users of your services or applications. "Non-Personal Information" includes information that cannot be used to personally identify you, such as anonymous usage data, general demographic information, referring/exit pages and URLs, platform types, preferences you submit, preferences generated based on submitted data, and the number of clicks.

2. Information We Collect

We collect both "Non-Personal Information" and "Personal Information."

2.1 Information Collected via Technology

To activate and use the Service, we track information provided by your browser or by our software application when you view or use the Service. This includes:
  • The website you came from (referring URL).

We track this information using cookies and similar tracking technologies to track the activity on our Website or Service Platform, which are small text files including an anonymous unique identifier. Cookies are sent to your browser from our servers and stored on your computer's hard drive. They enable us to collect Non-Personal Information and record your preferences, both individually and in aggregate. We may use both persistent and session cookies; persistent cookies remain on your computer after you close your session until you delete them, while session cookies expire when you close your browser.

2.2 Information You Provide by Registering for an Account

To become a subscriber to the Service, you will need to create a personal profile. This involves registering with the Service and entering your email address, name, and creating a username and password. By registering, you authorize us to collect, store, and use this Personal Information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Releem's Services primarily involve the processing of technical data related to database performance and configuration, and do not involve collecting or processing personal data from the end-users of our customers' applications. The personal data we do collect is limited to the authorized users of the Releem platform itself, which is necessary for authentication, authorization, notifications, reporting, support, and user access control.

2.3 Children's Privacy

Our Site and Service are not directed to anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect or solicit information from anyone under the age of 13, nor do we allow anyone under the age of 13 to sign up for the Service. If we learn that we have gathered personal information from anyone under the age of 13 without parental or guardian consent, we will delete that information as soon as possible. If you believe we have collected such information, please contact us at hello@releem.com.

3. How We Use and Share Information

3.1 Personal Information

We do not sell, trade, rent, or otherwise share your Personal Information for marketing purposes with third parties without your explicit consent, nor do we intend to do so.

We share Personal Information only with vendors who perform services for the Company (sub-processors), such as email communication servers or payment gateways. These vendors are provided access to your email address or other necessary Personal Information solely for purposes of delivering services to us and only at our direction and in accordance with our Privacy Policy and relevant Data Processing Agreements.

In general, the Personal Information you provide to us is used to help us communicate with you. For example, we use Personal Information to:
  • Respond to your questions and solicit feedback.
  • Provide technical support.
  • Inform you about promotional offers related to our services.
  • Provide notices about your account and/or subscription, including expiration and renewal notices.
  • Carry out our obligations and enforce our rights arising from any contracts entered into between you and us, including for billing and collection.
  • Manage authentication, authorization, and user access control within the Releem platform.
We may share Personal Information with outside parties if we have a good-faith belief that access, use, preservation, or disclosure of the information is reasonably necessary to:
  • Meet any applicable legal process or enforceable governmental request.
  • Enforce applicable Terms of Service, including investigation of potential violations.
  • Address fraud, security, or technical concerns.
  • Protect against harm to the rights, property, or safety of our users or the public as required or permitted by law.

3.2 Non-Personal Information

We use Non-Personal Information to help us improve the Service and customize the user experience. We also aggregate Non-Personal Information to track trends and analyze usage patterns on the Site. This Privacy Policy does not limit our use or disclosure of Non-Personal Information, and we reserve the right to use and disclose such Non-Personal Information to our partners, advertisers, and other third parties at our discretion.

4. Our Sub-processors and Data Transfers

Releem engages third-party sub-processors to provide our Service. A list of our current sub-processors includes:

We operate under standard Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) with all major sub-processors, ensuring that data protection obligations compatible with our commitments are in place. These agreements restrict data use to authorized purposes only.

4.1 Data Location and Transfers

Data is processed and stored on AWS, GCP, and Azure infrastructure. The location of data storage may be subject to variation, with potential sites including either the US or EU region.
Unless otherwise agreed the default location is: United States (e.g., AWS us-west-2 - Oregon; Azure West US 2 - Quincy, WA). In instances where the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is applicable, Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) are employed when necessary to ensure sufficient protection for transferred personal data.

5. How We Protect Information

We implement security measures designed to protect your information from unauthorized access.
  • Account Protection: Your account is protected by your account password, and we urge you to take steps to keep your personal information safe by not disclosing your password and by logging out of your account after each use.
  • Technological Security Measures: We protect your information from potential security breaches by implementing certain technological security measures including encryption, firewalls, and secure socket layer (SSL) technology.
  • Data Encryption: The data is encrypted both during storage and during transmission.
  • Access Controls: Role-based access control is enforced, restricting access to your Personal Information solely to personnel who need it to perform their duties in accordance with our agreement.
  • Cloud Infrastructure Security: We leverage the robust security measures provided by our cloud infrastructure providers (AWS, GCP, Azure), including physical security of data centers, network controls, and monitoring.
  • Backup and Recovery: Automated cloud-based daily backups with configurable geo-redundancy and recovery.
  • Incident Detection and Response: Monitoring and internal alerting in place to detect data breaches across our data stores. We commit to immediate notification of any data breaches affecting client data.
  • Ongoing Security: We conduct internal reviews and maintain continuous security monitoring through cloud provider tools and internal processes to regularly test, assess, and evaluate our organizational and technical security measures.
However, these measures do not guarantee that your information will not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by a breach of such firewalls and secure server software. By using our Service, you acknowledge that you understand and agree to assume these risks.
