A) Data that you provide to us

Registration information. When you register for our services, you submit some non-encrypted identification and contact data (such as your e-mail address, name, job title or position, address, phone number). The data that we request at the time of registration is necessary for the provision of our services.

ℹ️ Certain basic information, like your name and email address, is necessary for setting up a Tresorit account.

 

Billing information. At the time of registration, you also need to provide certain billing information. You might also provide payment information, such as payment card details, which we collect via secure payment processing services. This data is necessary to provide you with Tresorit services.

ℹ️ When you purchase a subscription, you also need to provide payment information, which will be handled by secure processing services.

 

Account information. When you use our services, you also give us access to certain information (such as the name and the permission history of your Tresorit Folders (Tresorit Folders are secure, encrypted parent folders to your files in the cloud.)) that is necessary for the provision and maintenance of your user account. For the avoidance of any doubt, Tresorit cannot connect such metadata information to Your Encrypted Content or file names as Tresorit has no access to the Encrypted Content or file names.

In order to send and deliver invitations upon your instructions, Tresorit stores and accesses certain personal data (such as the email address, name, Tresor name and its unique URL, storage account and username of the inviter and the invited person). Please note that your email address, first and last name are visible to others when you send them an invitation to, or if you accept an invitation.

ℹ️ Some information about your Tresorit Folders is unencrypted, like its name, size and members. This is needed for features like your activity wall.

 

Access logs. Content owners may apply certain security settings to protect the content of share links. If you open a Tresorit link where Detailed access logs (Detailed access logs is a security setting on share links. When turned on, content owners can track download attempts by IP address, date and platform.) are enabled, certain information (such as your IP address, approx. location, and the platforms that were used to download the contents of the link) will be logged for your open attempts.

Tresorit users may also require an email verification before you can download the content they shared with you. If you are signed in to Web Access, the email address associated with your account will be used by default for such purposes. Otherwise, the email you use for verification will be logged.

Please note that, the above information will be visible to the sender of the link and other users who have rights to share that specific file or folder. If you have any questions about this, please refer to the policies of the relevant organisation.

ℹ️ When sharing content, Tresorit users can enable access logs or request an email verification from those who wish to download their content. In these cases certain information about you will be logged and shared with the content’s owners.

 

File request information. Before you upload a requested file, you may be asked for your email address for verification purposes . If you are signed in to Web Access, the email address associated with your account will be used by default for such purposes. Otherwise, the email you use for verification will be logged and your email address will be shared with the requester. We will also notify you regarding your successful upload.

Also, for security purposes, certain information (such as your IP address, approx. location, and the platforms that were used to download the contents of the link) will be logged for your upload.

Please note that, the above information will be visible to the requester of the file and other users who have rights to access that specific file or folder. If you have any questions about this, please refer to the policies of the relevant organisation

ℹ️ For verification purposes, certain information, such as your email address, may be shared with the requester of the file.

 

Other ESign request information. If you are a signatory to an electronic document – whether as a Company Administered User or a Collaborator – we will log certain information about you (including your IP and email address) and the details of about your electronic signature process (such as when you opened or signed a document.)

 

Other information.

It is solely your decision to share any detailed, non-aggregated logs (which may contain e.g. non-encrypted filenames), your screen or any other data with us during such communications, so our processing of such data will be based on your consent.

Such information is requested for verification purposes and accordingly, this information will be visible to the initiator of the electronic signature process and other users who have rights to access that specific file or folder. Also, once the signing process is completed, a digital certificate is included in the electronically signed file. Anyone in possession of the electronically signed file may view information above based on the digital certificate at any time. If you have any questions about this, please refer to the policies of the relevant organisation.
