Who we are
This Privacy Policy explains how Recur Limited, the company that provides DialogueBase ("we", "us"), collects, uses, discloses and protects personal data, in line with the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap. 486) of Hong Kong ("PDPO") and its six Data Protection Principles.
Address: Unit B, 12/F, Hang Seng Causeway Bay Building, 28 Yee Wo Street, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong.
Scope of this policy
This policy covers personal data we collect as a data user, including from:
- visitors to our website and people who request a demo or contact us;
- contacts at our customers, prospects and partners;
- people who sign in to the DialogueBase console (account users).
Data in our customers' workspaces. When our customers use DialogueBase to manage their own customers' conversations and records, the customer is the data user and we act as their data processor. We process that data only on the customer's instructions and under our agreement with them. Please contact the relevant business directly about its handling of your data.
Where a customer runs DialogueBase as a private deployment in its own cloud or data centre, that data is stored in the customer's environment, and we access it only when the customer asks us to, for example for support.
Personal data we collect
- Contact details: name, company, job title, work email, phone or WhatsApp number.
- Enquiry details: industry, channels you use, and anything you write to us.
- Account data: name, email, role, team and sign-in records of console users.
- Billing data: billing contact, company address and payment records. We do not store full card numbers.
- Technical data: IP address, browser type, pages visited and your language preference.
How we use personal data
We use personal data for the purposes for which it was collected or a directly related purpose, namely to:
- respond to enquiries and arrange product demonstrations;
- set up, provide, support and bill for the DialogueBase service;
- keep the service and website secure, and prevent misuse;
- understand how the website is used and improve it, using aggregated data where possible;
- meet legal, regulatory and accounting obligations;
- send direct marketing, only with your consent.
We will ask for your consent before using your personal data for any new purpose that is not directly related to these.
Direct marketing
We intend to use your name, company, email and phone or WhatsApp number to send you information about DialogueBase products, services, events, webinars and industry insights.
We will not do so without your consent. You can give consent by ticking the box on our forms, and you can withdraw it at any time, free of charge, by using the unsubscribe link in any message or by writing to hello@dialoguebase.com.
We do not provide your personal data to third parties for their own direct marketing. If we ever wish to do so, we will first obtain your separate written consent.
Where data is stored
We host DialogueBase with established cloud infrastructure providers under written contracts. The hosting region for each customer's workspace is set out in that customer's agreement.
How long we keep data
We keep personal data no longer than necessary for the purpose it was collected for:
- Demo and sales enquiries: up to 24 months after our last contact with you.
- Account and billing data: for the subscription term, then up to 7 years to meet accounting and tax requirements.
- Direct marketing data: until you withdraw your consent.
After that, we delete or anonymise the data.
How we protect data
We take practicable steps to protect personal data against unauthorised or accidental access, processing, erasure, loss or use. These include encryption in transit, role-based access controls, audit logs, staff confidentiality obligations, and hosting on cloud infrastructure that holds internationally recognised security certifications.
No system is completely secure. If we become aware of a data breach that affects you, we will notify you and the relevant authorities as appropriate.
Your rights
Under the PDPO you have the right to:
- ask whether we hold personal data about you, and request a copy;
- ask us to correct personal data that is inaccurate;
- withdraw consent to direct marketing at any time.
Please send requests in writing to our General Support team. We will respond within 40 days of receiving a request. We may charge a fee for a data access request, which will not be excessive, and may refuse a request where the PDPO permits.
Children
DialogueBase is a business service and this website is not intended for children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The latest version will always be on this page, with the date it was last updated. If the changes are significant, we will tell you by email or through the service.
