Datable Privacy Policy

This is an English translation provided for reference. The Japanese version is the governing text (see "21. Language").

Datable, Inc. ("we", "us" or "our") sets out this Privacy Policy (this "Policy") for the handling of personal information in the following (together, the "Website and Project"):

  • The website, newsletter and contact point we operate (the "Website")
  • The software "ActQL" we publish ("ActQL"), its documentation site and the ActQL repositories on GitHub (together, the "ActQL Project")

The handling of personal information in connection with the use of our cloud service "ActQL Cloud" is governed by the separate "ActQL Cloud Privacy Policy".

Chapter 1: The Website

    Access logs, IP address, browser type, operating system, pages viewed, referrer, time of viewing, and information collected through cookies and similar technologies

  3. When you contact us

    Name, organisation, email address, telephone number, and the content of your enquiry

2. Purposes of use

We use the personal information in section 1 within the scope of the following purposes:

  2. To analyse how the Website is browsed
  3. To send, by newsletter, information about our products, services and events (with the subscriber's consent; subscribers can unsubscribe at any time)
  4. To respond to enquiries
  5. To prevent unauthorised access and otherwise keep the Website secure
  6. To respond to laws or requests from public authorities
  7. For purposes incidental to the above

3. Cookies and external transmission

  1. The Website may use cookies and similar technologies to make it easier to use and to analyse how it is browsed.
  2. You can refuse or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some features of the Website may not work if cookies are disabled.
  3. We may use web analytics tools such as Google Analytics to analyse how the Website is browsed. Information collected by these tools is handled under each tool provider's privacy policy.

4. Retention period

We keep the personal information in section 1 only for as long as needed to achieve the purposes of use, as set out in section 17.

Chapter 2: The ActQL Project

5. Using the ActQL software locally

When you use ActQL in your own environment (without ActQL Cloud), ActQL does not send us information about that use (such as telemetry), and we do not collect it. ActQL communicates with external services directly from your environment.

6. Personal information we collect

In operating the ActQL Project, we may collect the following personal information.

  1. When you browse the documentation site

    Access logs, IP address, browser type, operating system, pages viewed, referrer, time of viewing, and information collected through cookies and similar technologies

  2. When you post to the ActQL repositories on GitHub

    GitHub account name, display name, the name and email address contained in commits, and the content of bug reports, comments, pull requests and other posts

7. Purposes of use

We use the personal information in section 6 within the scope of the following purposes:

  1. To provide, operate and improve the documentation site and analyse how it is browsed
  2. To develop and maintain ActQL
  3. To respond to bug reports and external contributions
  4. To keep records of contributions and give attribution under the licence
  5. To prevent unauthorised access and otherwise keep the ActQL Project secure
  6. To respond to laws or requests from public authorities
  7. For purposes incidental to the above

8. Cookies and external transmission on the documentation site

The documentation site may use cookies and similar technologies and web analytics tools to analyse how it is browsed. Their content and how to refuse them are as set out in section 3.

9. Information on GitHub

  1. Information posted to the ActQL repositories on GitHub (GitHub account name, the name and email address contained in commits, the content of posts and so on) is public on GitHub and is kept as attribution under the ActQL licence and as a record of contributions.
  2. Commit history must keep the integrity of the software's change history, and once published, third parties hold copies of it, so we may be unable to delete it even when asked to. In that case, we explain why.
  3. The handling of information on GitHub is also subject to the privacy policy of GitHub, Inc.
  4. Please do not include logs, credentials, personal information or anything else unsuitable for publication in bug reports and other posts.

10. Retention period

We keep personal information only for as long as needed to achieve the purposes of use, and within a reasonable period after they have been achieved we delete it or process it so that it no longer identifies anyone. Information that the law requires us to keep is kept until the statutory retention period ends.

18. Territorial scope

However, we change purposes of use only within a scope reasonably recognised as related to the purposes before the change, and we notify you of, or publish, the changed purposes. For a change beyond that scope, we obtain your prior consent. For an important change, we give notice a reasonable period before it takes effect.

21. Language
