Werc is a web services platform that enables users to plan, execute and collaborate across production and creative projects..
This privacy notice explains how we collect, share and protect business information.
Registration
To create an account you need to provide a Google or an email account (it will provide us email, name and profile picture) and third party login credentials. If you register for a paid Service, you will need to provide payment (e.g., credit card) and billing information.
Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies to recognize you and/or your device(s) on our website. You can control cookies through your browser settings and other tools.
Service Use
We log usage data when you visit or otherwise use our Services, including our app and platform technology such as when you create jobs or projects. We use log-ins, cookies, device information and internet protocol (“IP”) addresses to identify you and log your use.
Gmail
To access the contact and project extraction feature on Werc we will ask to connect with a Gmail account. The App will only use access to:
- Read Gmail message bodies (including attachments) to import relevant project and contact information. We only query messages and attachments that have production or marketing relevance.
- Write Gmail messages to send the messages in your name to invite users to apply to jobs or show interested in a posted job.
Aggregated contact and project data is available on your profile and requires the explicit permission to be shared publicly. Contact information from people who have worked on a project with you, as determined through our Gmail extraction, will not be visible to any other users or visitors unless that person has created a contact and given explicit permission for its visibility.
Contact information is full name, phone number, email and address.
Werc will not transfer this Gmail data to others unless doing so is necessary to provide and improve these features, comply with applicable law, or as part of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. We will not use this Gmail data for serving advertisements.
Human access to specific data (gmail messages or attachments) will only be granted to enrich your profile’s portfolio when our algorithm cannot effectively extract and structure said data.
Otherwise, we will not allow humans to read data unless we have your affirmative agreement for specific messages and when doing so is necessary for security purposes such as investigating abuse, to comply with applicable law, or for Werc’s internal operations and even then only when the data have been aggregated and anonymized.
Werc’s use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Disclosure of Anonymized Information: Werc reserves the right to use and disclose anonymized information, aggregated information or publicly available information that has not been combined with nonpublic Personal Information for any purposes including without limitation Werc’s internal use and research. However, Werc will not disclose information, even in anonymized, aggregate, or derivative forms, that is made available by our connection to email providers such as Gmail, including API calls relating to checking, reading, or sending email, in accordance with the Additional Requirements for Restricted Scopes as specified by Google. When connecting to email providers such as Gmail, Werc will only make use of the information necessary to render our service so that we can display our user interface and perform requested actions on your account.
