Collection of Personal Information

You may choose to give us personal information directly in a variety of situations. For example, you may want to give us your name and contact information to communicate with you, to process an order, to provide you with a subscription or a service, or to do business with us if you are a supplier or a business partner. 

You may also provide your credit card details when you pay for services or may share a description of your education and work experience in connection with a job opening at LLamasoft for which you wish to be considered. If you tell us that you do not want us to use your information to make further contact with you beyond fulfilling your request, we will respect your wishes.

We may also collect information relating to your use of our Web site through the use of various technologies. For example, when you visit our Web site, we may log certain information that your browser sends us, such as your IP address, browser type and language, access time, and referring Web site addresses. We may also collect information about the pages you view within our site and other actions you take while visiting us. In addition, we may also use such technologies to determine whether you’ve opened an e-mail or clicked on a link contained in an e-mail. Collecting information in this manner allows us to collect statistics about our Web site usage and effectiveness and personalize your experience while you are on our Web site, as well as tailor our interactions with you. For details regarding the technologies we employ, see the “Cookies, Web Beacon and Other Technologies” section below.

From time to time, we may also collect information that pertains to you indirectly, typically from your organization, but also through other sources, such as marketing partners. When we do so, we ask these third parties to confirm that the information was legally acquired by them and that we have the right to obtain it from them and use it.

The information that we collect, either directly or indirectly, may be combined to help us improve its overall accuracy and completeness and to help us better tailor our interactions with you.

Use of Personal Information

The following paragraphs describe in more detail how LLamasoft may use your personal information.

To Fulfill a Contract

In the context of our business activities, the terms of our contract with your employer or organization may require us to process your personal information in order to comply with our obligations under that contract or to exercise our rights under it. We use your information, primarily, to give you access to our products and services, as requested by your employer. Our contractual arrangements with your organization will ensure that we only process your information as instructed by  them and only as necessary to comply with our contractual obligations.

The legal grounds for processing this information are the performance of our contract with your employer or organization and the legitimate interest of LLamasoft in providing goods and services to persons who contract with LLamasoft to provide those services and goods.

Fulfilling your Transaction Request

If you request something from LLamasoft, for example, a product or service, a callback, or specific marketing materials, we will use the information you provide to fulfill your request. To help us do this, we may share information with others, for instance, LLamasoft’s business partners, financial institutions, shipping companies, or postal or government authorities, such as customs authorities, involved in fulfillment. In connection with a transaction, we may also contact you as part of our customer satisfaction surveys or for market research purposes.

The legal ground for processing this information is the legitimate interest of LLamasoft to conduct its business.

Personalizing your Experience on our Web Site

We may use information we collect about you to provide you with a personalized experience on our Web site, such as providing you with content in which you may be interested and making navigation on our site easier.

The legal ground for processing this information is the legitimate interest of LLamasoft to provide you with working and functional websites and with a pleasant user experience when interacting with our websites.

Providing Support

We may use your personal information to support products or services you or your organization have obtained from us, such as notifying you of a product update or fix. We may use third-party platforms to provide you with these support services and to enable access to product help guides, product documentation and forums to support your use of our products or services.

In the course of providing technical support to you, we may sometimes have incidental access to business data that you have provided to us or data that is located on your system. This data may contain information about you, your organization’s employees, customers, partners, or suppliers. This Privacy Notice does not apply to our access to or handling of this information; the conditions regarding the handling and processing of that data is covered by the applicable Terms of Use or other agreements between you and LLamasoft.

The legal grounds for processing this information are the performance of our contract with your employer or organization and the legitimate interest of LLamasoft in providing goods and services to persons who contract with LLamasoft to provide those services and goods, including product and service support.

Usage Data

The information you provide to LLamasoft directly, as well as the information we have collected about you indirectly, may be used by LLamasoft for marketing purposes. We may receive your information indirectly from third parties, including our marketing partners in certain regions who collect personal information from you and pass it on to us, and we may use this information for marketing purposes. In any case and, before we do so,   we will disclose the source from which we received the information (if collected indirectly) and we will offer you the opportunity to choose whether or not to have your information used in this way. At any time, you may choose not to receive marketing materials from us by following the “unsubscribe” instructions included in each e-mail you may receive, by indicating so when we call you, or by contacting us directly (please refer to “Privacy Questions and Access” below).

The legal ground for processing this information is the legitimate interest of LLamasoft to conduct its business and our legitimate interest in sending electronic marketing communications to current and potential customers concerning our products and services.

We do not conduct any profiling or automated decision processes in our direct marketing activities. 

Some of our offerings may be co-branded, that is, sponsored by both LLamasoft and third parties. If you sign up for these offerings, be aware that your information may also be collected by and shared with those third parties. We encourage you to familiarize yourself with their privacy policies to gain an understanding of the manner in which they will handle information about you.

If you choose to “Email This Page” to a friend or colleague, we will ask for their name and e-mail address. We will automatically send a one-time e-mail sharing the page you indicated, but will not use that information for other purposes.

Recruitment

In connection with a job application or inquiry, whether advertised on our site or otherwise, you may provide us with information about yourself, such as a resume and contact information. We may use this information throughout LLamasoft in order to address your inquiry or consider you for employment purposes. Unless you tell us not to do so, we may keep the information for future consideration for a period of up to 3 years and then destroy it.

The legal ground for processing this information for this purpose is LLamasoft’s legitimate interest in analyzing candidate information in connection with identifying qualified candidates to fill open positions at LLamasoft.

Access to Our Offices

We may ask you to provide certain personal information (such as your name and the organization you belong to) as part of our office visitor check-in system. We will only use your information for the purpose of establishing and verifying your identity and purpose of visit so that we can authorize your physical access to LLamasoft’s facilities. Your information will be held for up to 90 days and then destroyed or irreversibly anonymized, unless: (i) a request for the data or the preservation of the data is made by law enforcement; or (ii) the data is relevant to an ongoing or prospective investigation related to our facilities on the relevant date(s) of your visit.

The legal ground for processing your information for this purpose is the legitimate interest of LLamasoft to manage and secure access to our offices.

Recording of Calls, Chats and Other Interactions

Certain transactions may involve you calling us or us calling you, such as in the context of us providing product support to you. They may also involve online chats. LLamasoft may in some cases record such interactions product support investigations or, at your request, for your own training purposes. We will always ask you before we do this.

The legal ground for processing this information for these purposes is LLamasoft’s legitimate interest in providing quality services and support and to improve the quality of its services and support.

Protecting the Rights and Property of LLamasoft and Others

We may also use or share your information to protect the rights or property of LLamasoft, our business partners, suppliers, clients, or others when we have reasonable grounds to believe that such rights or property have been or could be affected. In addition, we reserve the right to disclose your personal information as required by law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, the rights of others, or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on LLamasoft.

The legal ground for processing your information for this purpose is the legitimate interest of protecting our rights as a business and/or establishing, exercising or defending any legal claims.

Compliance with Law and Due Diligence Checks

We may collect and use your personal information in the context of our corporate compliance protocols and processes in place to ensure our organization’s compliance with law (including Anti-Money Laundering legislation). For example, we may have an obligation to screen and conduct due diligence on you or your organization in order to ensure LLamasoft’s compliance with regulations and law as we determine whether to move forward with a potential business relationship with you or your organization. We may also obtain additional information from public sources in order to carry out these due diligence and regulatory checks that we are required to undertake.

The legal ground for processing this information is compliance with our legal obligations and the legitimate interest of meeting our corporate compliance requirements.

Sharing of Personal Information

This section of the Notice describes how we will, in some circumstances, have to share personal information about you with third parties (“Third Parties”), in accordance with data protection law, in connection with and for the purpose of facilitating the provision of certain services that may be provided by these Third Parties to LLamasoft or to you.

In all cases, all our Third-Party providers are required to take appropriate security measures to protect your personal data in line with our policies and all applicable legal requirements. Providers are only permitted to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions. 

  • Our parent company: We share your personal data with our parent company, LLamasoft, Inc., based in Ann Arbor, MI, USA. Our parent company may use your data for the purposes of tracking sales; contacting current and potential customers in connection with marketing LLamasoft products and services; assisting current and potential customers; and for internal business purposes, such as conducting research and analysis in order to improve our products and services.
  • The LLamasoft Group: We may share your personal data across the LLamasoft Group as necessary for the relevant internal departments to provide you with certain services or to interact with you. We rely on our Intra-Group Data Transfer Agreement (the “Intra-Group DTA”) (which contains the Controller to Controller  and Controller to Processor  versions of the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses for the transfer of personal data to third countries, pursuant to Decisions 2004/915/EC and 2010/87/EU (“SCC’s”)) for any transfer of personal data to other LLamasoft Group entities (disclosed in the “International Data Transfers” section below). 
  • Our suppliers and service providers: In some cases, LLamasoft uses suppliers or resellers located in various countries to collect, use, analyze, and otherwise process information on its behalf. It is LLamasoft’s practice to require such suppliers or resellers to handle information in a manner consistent with LLamasoft’s policies.
  • Our business partners: From time to time, we may disclose information that identifies you at an individual level and which we collected on our Web site to other non-LLamasoft entities that are not acting as our suppliers, such as our business partners. Except as described in this Privacy Notice, we will only do so with your prior consent. 
  • Our hosting and platform services provider: Your personal data may also be transferred to and stored on servers at LLamasoft’s hosting provider, Amazon Web Services (AWS), in the United States.  AWS relies on its data processing addendum, which includes the SCC’s, available at https://d1.awsstatic.com/legal/aws-gdpr/AWS_GDPR_DPA.pdf.
  • Third-party electronic payment vendors: When you pay for products or services through our sites or third-party partner sites we collect, but do not store, your payment information (such as credit card or PayPal information).
  • Our customer relationship and data management system: Personal information collected through LLamasoft’s website may be processed by salesforce.com and/or one or more of its affiliates (“SFDC”) through its Pardot service. Under the contract with SFDC, SFDC is required to maintain appropriate administrative, physical, and technical safeguards for protection of the security, confidentiality and integrity of personal data. Those safeguards include, but will not be limited to, measures designed to prevent unauthorized access to or disclosure of personal data (other than by LLamasoft). Further, the data processing addendum at https://www.salesforce.com/company/legal/agreements.jsp (the “DPA”) covers such personal data. To the extent SFDC processes personal data from the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, SFDC’s Processor Binding Corporate Rules and/or the SCC’s apply as described in the DPA.
  • Third parties in connection with business reorganization: Circumstances may arise where, whether for strategic or other business reasons, LLamasoft decides to sell, buy, merge or otherwise reorganize businesses, in whole, in part, or in some countries. Such a transaction may involve the disclosure of personal information to prospective or actual purchasers, or the receipt of such information from sellers. It is LLamasoft’s intent to seek appropriate protection for information in these types of transactions.
  • Governmental entities and third parties: Please be aware that in certain circumstances, personal information may be subject to disclosure to government agencies pursuant to a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process. We may also share your information to protect the rights or property of LLamasoft, our business partners, suppliers or clients, and others when we have reasonable grounds to believe that such rights or property have been or could be affected.

Information Security and Accuracy

We intend to protect your personal information and to maintain its accuracy. LLamasoft implements appropriate physical, administrative and technical safeguards to help us protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use and disclosure.  We also require that our suppliers and resellers protect such information from unauthorized access, use and disclosure.

Retention

We will retain your information for as long as your account is active, as needed to provide you services or as necessary for the original purpose for which it was collected. 

We will retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, enforce our agreements, or in order to establish, exercise or defend any legal claims (subject to the applicable statute of limitations in the relevant country).

If you wish to request that we no longer use your information to provide you services contact us at GDPR@coupa.com. Your provision of personal data is a contractual requirement for the issuance of LLamasoft’s software on a named-user license basis. Failure to provide the required personal data will result in limitation or prevention of LLamasoft’s ability to issue the necessary license keys or credentials that have been purchased by you or your organization for your usage.

Cookies, Web Beacons and Other Technologies

As mentioned above, we collect information from your visits to our Web site to help us gather statistics about our Web site usage and effectiveness, personalize your experience on our site, and tailor our interactions with you.

We do so through the use of various technologies, including one called “cookies”. A cookie is a piece of data that a Web site can send to your browser, which may then be stored on your computer as a tag that identifies your computer. While cookies are often only used to measure Web site usage and effectiveness and to allow for ease of navigation or use and as such, are not associated with any personal information, they are also used at times to personalize a known visitor’s experience to a Web site by being associated with profile information or user preferences. You can set your browser in most instances to notify you before you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether to accept it or not. You can also generally set your browser to turn off cookies. Since cookies allow you to take advantage of some of our Web site’s features, we recommend that you leave them turned on. If you block or otherwise reject our cookies, you will not be able, for instance, to add items to your shopping cart, proceed to checkout, or use any Web site services that require you to sign in.

We may use Web beacons or other technologies to better tailor customer service. These technologies may be in use on a number of pages across LLamasoft’s Web site. When a visitor accesses these pages, a non-identifiable notice of that visit is generated which may be processed by us or by our suppliers. These Web beacons usually work in conjunction with cookies. If you don’t want your cookie information to be associated with your visits to these pages, you can set your browser to turn off cookies. If you turn off cookies, Web beacon and other technologies will still detect visits to these pages; however, they will not be associated with information otherwise stored in cookies.

We may also include Web beacons in marketing e-mail messages or our newsletters in order to determine whether messages have been opened and links contained within clicked on.

Many web browsers have a “do not track” setting. That said, there is no widely-accepted standard (through the World Wide Web Consortium or otherwise) governing what should happen when a user selects “do not track” in a browser. If and when an industry consensus is reached about how to treat a “do not track” setting, LLamasoft will determine whether to follow that consensus approach. In the meantime, enabling “do not track” in your browser will not change what information is exchanged with your computer, or how that information is used.

You might be able to exercise choices regarding third-party cookies and/or tracking devices. You can obtain more information about those choices at http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/ or http://www.aboutads.info/choices/.

Links to Non-LLamasoft Web Sites and Third-Party Applications

To allow you to interact with other Web sites on which you may have accounts (such as Facebook and other social media sites) or join communities on such sites, we may provide links or embed third-party applications that allow you to login, post content or join communities from our Web sites. We may also provide you with general links to non-LLamasoft Web sites.

Your use of these links and applications is subject to the third parties’ privacy policies, and you should become familiar with the third-party sites’ privacy policies before using the links or applications.  LLamasoft is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of those other Web sites.

Special Information for California Residents

Your California Privacy Rights: California privacy law specifies that California residents may request that LLamasoft, up to twice in any 12-month period and free of charge, provide California residents with the categories and specific pieces of personal information that LLamasoft has collected about you. You may request this information by contacting LLamasoft using the contact information below in the section entitled “Privacy Questions and Access”.

Information Pertaining to Children

LLamasoft does not knowingly collect personal information of, or relating to, children as defined by applicable law. If you are younger than the age of consent in your jurisdiction, or are the parent or guardian of such a person, please contact LLamasoft immediately using the contact information below in the section entitled “Privacy Questions and Access” so that LLamasoft can delete or otherwise address such information.

International Data Transfers

The LLamasoft Group has business processes, management structures and systems that cross borders. As such, we may share information about you within the LLamasoft Group and transfer it to countries in the world where we do business in connection with the purposes identified above and in accordance with this Privacy Notice. Our Privacy Notice and our practices are designed to provide a globally consistent level of protection for personal information all over the world. This means that even in countries whose laws provide for less protection for your information, LLamasoft will still handle your information in the manner described in this Privacy Notice.

LLamasoft may, pursuant to the purposes listed above, transfer your personal data within the EU or Switzerland and to a different jurisdiction. In this case, LLamasoft relies on the SCC’s, which are the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses for the transfer of personal data to third countries, pursuant to Decisions 2004/915/EC and 2010/87/EU).

We have put into place an Intra-Group DTA, which includes the Controller to Controller SCC’s and the Controller to Processor SCC’s, to safeguard your information. Please contact the LLamasoft Privacy Team at GDPR@coupa.com should you wish to examine the Intra-Group DTA entered into by the LLamasoft Group.

Privacy Shield

While Privacy Shield is no longer a valid lawful basis on which LLamasoft may rely to transfer personal data from the EU to the United States pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (General Data Protection Regulation or GDPR), LLamasoft continues to comply with both the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework and the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework, as administered by the U.S. Department of Commerce, regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal data from the European Union (the “EU”), the United Kingdom (the “UK”) and Switzerland, respectively, to the United States.  We have certified to the Department of Commerce that we adhere to the Privacy Shield Principles that are a part of the Privacy Shield program. To learn more about the Privacy Shield program, and to view our certification, please visit https://www.privacyshield.gov/. LLamasoft’s Privacy Shield certification extends to our U.S. subsidiary, Opex Analytics LLC, who adheres to the Privacy Shield Principles in the same manner. LLamasoft’s Privacy Shield Privacy Statement is different from this general Privacy Notice. You can see our Privacy Shield Privacy Statement at: https://success.coupa.com/Trust/Data_Privacy/z_LLamasoft_Privacy_Shield_Statement. If the Privacy Shield Privacy Statement applies to you and anything in this general Privacy Notice is different from the Privacy Shield Privacy Statement, the provision in the Privacy Shield Privacy Statement governs.
