Personal Data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person and includes information referred to as “personally identifiable information” or “personal information” under applicable data privacy laws, rules or regulations. It does not include categories of sensitive personal information. Non-personal information excludes Personal Data but includes information and data that by itself does not identify You or another individual and can be generated by use of the Services and Software, use of Our website, or other online activity. Together, Personal Data and Non-personal Information comprise “Your Data”. Since Bluebeam Services and Software are not designed for sensitive personal data such as social security numbers, Personal Data of minors, or credit cards, You agree not to upload such data to Bluebeam’s systems.

   Your Data is used to provide transactional information to You, information about updates and upgrades to the Services or Software, respond to inquiries and collect feedback, verifying compliance with the Terms including license validation via the internet, analyze bugs, error reports or logs, and/or to improve, understand, or monitor the Software by itself or through its selected vendors. You expressly provide Bluebeam a license to Your Data for these purposes.

   Bluebeam shall establish and maintain administrative, physical and technical safeguards designed to guard against the destruction, loss, or alteration of Your Data and Your Content to the extent it is stored within Bluebeam systems.

   Bluebeam will, and will require any third-party Service provider to, implement and maintain commercially reasonable and appropriate technical, administrative, and physical safeguards for protection of the security, confidentiality and integrity of Your Data. The safeguards will include, but not be limited to, measures designed to prevent unauthorized access to or disclosure of Your Data. Bluebeam shall neither sell Your data or use it for any purpose other than as described herein.

   Use of third-party software or applications or the integration of such software or applications with the Services and Software (“Third-Party Applications”) may result in Your Data or Your Content being transferred to a third party.

5. Will These Terms Ever ChangeThe Terms may need to change due to enhancements, improvements, applicable law or regulatory changes to name a few. To ensure the Terms are up to date, Bluebeam reserves the right to modify the Terms at any time in its sole discretion. If We do, We will bring it to Your attention by providing a notice on Bluebeam’s Legal page which can accessed here, by sending You an email, by notice through the Services or Software itself, and/or by some other means. If You don’t agree with the changed Terms, You are free to reject them. Unfortunately, that means You will no longer be able to use the Services or Software. In the event you decide to reject Bluebeam’s new Terms, You must immediately (i) remove all of Your Content; (ii) cancel Your User ID; and (iii) discontinue all access and use of the Services and Software. Such termination is controlled by Section 8.4.3.1 in the Term and Termination section below.
