Privacy

Formally is part of Springload Te Pipītanga, based in Aotearoa New Zealand. This privacy policy will explain how our organisation uses the personal data we collect from you when you use our website.

How we collect your data

You directly provide us with most of the data we collect. We collect data and process data when you:

  • sign up to use Formally
  • sign up to our newsletter
  • opt to use Formally forms (via analytics and form submissions)
  • use or view our website via your browser.

If a Formally user opts to use Formally with their own APIs or extensions (ie, data sovereignty) then Formally may not collect this data at all.

Analytics

Forms can opt-in to analytics about form events. This behaviour is off by default. The form events are limited to:

  • form focus
  • page change
  • submit

These events are associated with an anonymous session id that is randomly generated and contains no personally identifiable information. The session id is not stored in any way in cookies or sessionStorage/localStorage etc. Even multiple forms on the same page will have different session ids, and using a form twice will also have different session ids. The analytics API does not store any IP address, geolocation, or browser headers.

We believe this is a privacy respecting method of providing anonymised statistics. We welcome feedback on our approach.

How we use your data

We collect your data so that we can:

  • sign you up with a Formally account so you can use our services
  • Save form responses and analytics events
  • email you with updates on Formally and educational material about accessible, inclusive forms.

How we store your data

All data is hosted on Amazon's AWS service, unless you choose to host your data storage elsewhere.

If you opt to send the data you collect using Formally to your own database, storing it securely is your responsibility.

In addition to our staff, we share this information with:

  • Mailchimp, a third-party platform, in order to manage our newsletter subscriber lists. You can unsubscribe at any time, and this will remove you from our mailing list.
  • Auth0 when signing up via that service.
