Introduction

MyITDojo ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our web application and services (the "Service").

By accessing or using the Service, you consent to the data practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, please do not use our Service.

1. Information We Collect

Account Information: When you create an account, we collect your name, email address, and authentication credentials through our OAuth provider.

Profile Information: You may optionally provide additional information such as company name, job title, and phone number.

Payment Information: Billing details are processed through Stripe, our third-party payment processor. We store only limited payment metadata (last 4 digits, expiration date) and do not store full credit card numbers.

User Content: Knowledge base entries, journal notes, system documentation, software catalogs, and other information you input into the Service.

API Keys: If you choose to use the AI Assistant feature, we collect and encrypt your third-party API keys (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic) using industry-standard encryption.

Communications: When you contact us for support or provide feedback, we collect the content of your communications.

1.2 Information Collected Automatically

Usage Data: We automatically collect information about how you interact with the Service, including pages viewed, features used, time spent, actions taken, and search queries.

Technical Information: We collect IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device identifiers, and referral URLs.

Cookies and Similar Technologies: We use cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies to improve the Service, remember your preferences, and analyze usage patterns. See our Cookie Policy for more details.

Analytics: We use analytics services to understand how users interact with our Service and identify areas for improvement.

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We share your information only in the following circumstances:

  • Service Providers: We share information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating the Service, including Stripe (payment processing), cloud hosting providers, and analytics services. These providers are contractually obligated to protect your information and use it only for the purposes we specify.
  • Team Members: If you use team collaboration features, certain information (such as shared knowledge entries and system documentation) will be visible to other members of your team.
  • Business Transfers: If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you of any such change in ownership or control of your personal information.
  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information when required by law, court order, or government request, or when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others.
  • With Your Consent: We may share your information with third parties when you explicitly consent to such sharing.
4. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Our security practices include:

  • Encryption: All data transmitted between your browser and our servers is encrypted using TLS/SSL protocols. Sensitive data (including API keys) is encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption.
  • Access Controls: We restrict access to personal information to employees and contractors who need it to perform their job functions.
  • Secure Authentication: We use OAuth 2.0 for secure authentication and support two-factor authentication (2FA) for enhanced account security.
  • Regular Security Audits: We conduct regular security assessments and vulnerability testing to identify and address potential security risks.
  • Incident Response: We maintain an incident response plan to quickly address any security breaches.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials.
