2. Your Data

2.1. You retain ownership of Your Data

You retain ownership and all Intellectual Property Rights for Your Data, Confidential Information, and Intellectual Property Rights. You grant AirManual a worldwide, royalty-free license to use and share your data in the ways detailed in our Privacy Policy.

2.2. Privacy

AirManual’s Privacy Policy details how we will treat your Data, and we agree to adhere to this policy.

2.3. Confidentiality

AirManual will treat any information you provide as Confidential Information without any time limit. AirManual will not pass the information on to third parties or use the information for any purpose other than performing their duties under this agreement.

However, information will not be regarded as Confidential Information if it:

is or becomes public knowledge other than by a breach of this clause;
is received from a third party who lawfully acquired it and who is under no obligation restricting its disclosure;
was lawfully known by AirManual before we received it from you;
is independently developed by AirManual without reference to the Confidential Information.

The above exclusions do not affect personally identifiable information, which is instead covered by our Privacy Policy.

AirManual will notify You within 24 hours of becoming aware of any potential unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information.

Upon your written request, AirManual shall confirm that Confidential Information and any copies of it in whatever form have been destroyed.

2.4. Security

AirManual will follow and maintain environment, safety and facility procedures, data security procedures and other safeguards to prevent the destruction, corruption, loss or alteration of Your Data, and to prevent access, intrusion, alteration or other interference by any unauthorized third parties. These procedures will be no less rigorous than industry best practices including ISO27001. AirManual has taken — and will continue to take — appropriate technical and organizational measures, and regularly tests, assesses and evaluates the effectiveness of these.

This is further detailed in our Privacy Policy and our security measures are summarized in our Security Statement.

2.5. Location of data processing

AirManual servers will be based in the UK and the European Economic Area.

AirManual has a global team of employees and contractors. Any AirManual team member accessing or processing your data will have a direct contract and/or confidentiality agreement with AirManual to protect your data in line with these Terms. These direct contracts and confidentiality agreements include GDPR standard contractual clauses.

AirManual may use third-party service providers, including providers outside of the European Economic Area. All service providers have been reviewed to ensure they will also protect your data in line with these Terms, and will be subsequently reviewed on a regular basis to ensure they continue to meet our requirements.

By agreeing to these Terms you agree that we can transfer Personal Data outside of the European Economic Area in this way, without additional advance notification.

2.6. Backup and restoration

AirManual will regularly and frequently back up your Data to one or more geographically-dispersed locations. These backups typically ensure that no more than an hour of Data can be lost even in the event of a disaster.

AirManual will regularly test backups and disaster recovery procedures to ensure that access to systems and Data can be restored in a timely manner.

2.7. Compliance and auditing

AirManual will support you in performing reviews, inspections and audits of how we process your data where required by — and to the extent required by — data protection legislation such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GPDR).

As AirManual is a remote-company with employees based world-wide, it is not possible to perform an onsite audit. We will provide reasonable access to systems, documentation and other materials requested where they are needed to demonstrate our compliance and do not compromise the data protection of other customers. Where possible, we will demonstrate our compliance through industry-accepted certification, such as ISO27001 certification for the security measures we take.

To support this, you agree that:

You will discuss and agree with AirManual on the reasonable start date, scope and duration of the inspection and audit.
AirManual may charge a fee for supporting the audit which AirManual will share in advance. This fee will be based on reasonable costs and is necessary given AirManual’s highly competitive pricing model and large number of customers. The fee may be subsidized or waived entirely at AirManual’s discretion.
You will not share any information gathered from the review, inspection or audit — which shall be considered as Confidential Information — unless the information has been publicly shared by AirManual.
You will not inspect or audit AirManual more than once every 12 months unless exceptional circumstances apply (such as a security breach, sector wide issue or regulatory investigation).
You will not use a 3rd party auditor that, in AirManual’s opinion, is not suitably qualified or independent, a competitor of AirManual, or in some other way unsuitable. In these circumstances you can appoint a different auditor or conduct the audit yourself.

2.8. Data protection impact assessments

AirManual will assist you in performing a data protection impact assessment where required to by data protection legislation such as GDPR. This can typically be achieved by reviewing these Terms, our Privacy Policy and Security Statement.

2.9. Further supporting your compliance

AirManual will notify you immediately if we become aware that You are asking us to perform any activity that would infringe GDPR or other data protection laws.

3. AirManual IP
