Privacy Policy

Miso’s Privacy Policy

The privacy of your data – and it is your data, not ours! – is important to us. We’ll only ever access your account to help you with a problem or squash a software bug. We’ll never open any uploaded files unless you ask us to. We log all access to all accounts by IP address, so we can always verify that no unauthorized access has happened for as long as the logs are kept.

We’re not in the business of selling our customers’ private data. Any personal data we collect will be for the purpose of operating and improving our products.

Identity & access

When you sign up for Miso, we ask for your name and email address. That’s just so you can personalize your new account, and we can send you updates, or other essential information. We’ll never sell your personal info to third parties, and we won’t use your name or company in marketing statements without your permission, either.

When you write to Miso with a question or to ask for help, we’ll keep that correspondence, and the email address, for future reference. We also store any information you volunteer, like surveys, for as long as it makes sense. When you provide your name and email on our contact form to express your interest in Miso, we’ll store those details so that we can keep in touch.

When you use Miso we will store some files on your computer so that we can provide the services you request. This includes an identifier that can be traced back to you and also information about how you are accessing our services. You can read more about this in our cookie policy.

The only times we’ll ever share your info:

  • To provide products or services you’ve requested, with your permission. List of third-party services we use.
  • To investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of our Terms of Service, or as otherwise required by law.
  • If Miso is acquired by or merged with another company we’ll notify you well before any info about you is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

Your Rights With Respect to Your Information

You may have heard about the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). GDPR gives people under its protection certain rights with respect to their personal information collected by us on the Site. Accordingly, Miso recognizes and will comply with GDPR and those rights, except as limited by applicable law. The rights under GDPR include:

  • Right of Access. This includes your right to access the personal information we gather about you, and your right to obtain information about the sharing, storage, security and processing of that information.
  • Right to Correction. This is your right to request correction of your personal information.
  • Right to Erasure. This is your right to request, subject to certain limitations under applicable law, that your personal information be erased from our possession (also known as the Right to be forgotten). However, if applicable law requires us to comply with your request to delete your information, fulfillment of your request may prevent you from using Miso services and may result in closing your account.
  • Right to Complain. You have the right to make a complaint regarding our handling of your personal information with the appropriate supervisory authority.
  • Right to Restrict Processing. This is your right to request restriction of how and why your personal information is used or processed.
  • Right to Object. This is your right, in certain situations, to object to how or why your personal information is processed.
  • Right to Portability. This is your right to receive the personal information we have about you and the right to transmit it to another party.
  • Right to not be subject to Automated Decision-Making. This is your right to object and prevent any decision that could have a legal, or similarly significant, effect on you from being made solely based on automated processes. This right is limited, however, if the decision is necessary for performance of any contract between you and us, is allowed by applicable European/UK law, or is based on your explicit consent.

Many of these rights can be exercised by signing in and directly updating your account information. If you have questions about exercising these rights or need assistance, please contact us at [email protected].

Processors we use

As part of the services we provide, and only to the extent necessary, we may use certain third party processors to process some or all of your personal information. For identification of these processors, and where they are located, please see our Subprocessor listing. We have appropriate data processing contracts that comply with GDPR with each processor.

Law enforcement

Miso won’t hand your data over to law enforcement unless a court order says we have to. We reject requests from law enforcement when they seek data without a court order. And unless we’re legally prevented from it, we’ll always inform you when such requests are made.

Security & Encryption

All data are encrypted via SSL/TLS when transmitted from our servers to your browser. The database backups are also encrypted. Data isn’t encrypted while it’s live in our database (since it needs to be ready to send to you when you need it), but we go to great lengths to secure your data at rest. You can read more about that on our security page.

For more information about how we keep your information secure, please review our security overview.

Deleted data

When you cancel your account, we’ll ensure that nothing is stored on our servers past 90 days. Anything you delete on your account while it’s active will also be purged within 90 days.

Location of Site and Data

Our marketing website (https://www.miso.legal) is operated in the USA. If you submit your email address and name via the contact form on the website, please be aware that it will be transmitted outside the UK and the European Union. By submitting your email address via the website, you consent to this transfer.

The application (https://app.miso.legal) is operated in the European Union.

Changes & questions

Miso may update this policy once in a blue moon – we’ll notify you about significant changes by emailing you or by placing a prominent notice on our site. You can access, change or delete your personal information at any time by contacting [email protected].
