This Privacy Notice (“Privacy Notice”) sets out how we handle the information we collect about you (“Personal Data”). Please read this Privacy Notice carefully as it describes the types of Personal Data that we collect, the purposes for which we use it, the types of third parties with which we share it, and any rights you may have with respect to such Personal Data.
This Privacy Notice applies only when you visit the online marketplace operated by us (“Sage Marketplace”), through which we and third parties make products and services available for purchase (“Applications”), or when you contact us, for example with a comment, query or request for support in respect of the Sage Marketplace or Applications. Other Sage services such as websites, products, services or applications may be covered by different privacy notices.
Your use of the Sage Marketplace and any information you provide through it is subject at all times to this Privacy Notice, the Sage Marketplace Terms of Use & Sale (or a localised version of such terms) and our Cookies Policy.
If you are accessing and/or using the Sage Marketplace on behalf of another person, company, entity or organisation whether in your capacity as an officer, director, employee, consultant, agent or otherwise) (“Subscriber”), you represent and warrant that you have the authority to act on behalf of the Subscriber and that you have provided this Privacy Notice to the Subscriber, and for the purposes of these Terms “you” and “your” shall include such Subscriber.
Where you provide us with or we collect your personal information in any of the ways described in this Privacy Notice, we may collect, store and use it: (a) in order to perform our contractual obligations to you; (b) to comply with our legal obligations; (c) based on our legitimate interests for processing (i.e. for internal administrative purposes, data analytics and benchmarking, direct marketing, maintaining automated back-up systems or for the detection or prevention of crime); or (d) based on your consent, which you may withdraw at any time, as described in this Privacy Notice.
Unless, stated otherwise in this Privacy Notice, the data controller of your Personal Data is:

(ii) any applicable Sage entity described the schedule to this Privacy Notice, where you purchase an Application,

The portals and websites which make up the Sage Marketplace are hosted by AppDirect Inc (“AppDirect”) on our behalf, who is an independent data controller in respect of any Personal Data it collects pursuant to its own privacy notice hosted at https://www.appdirect.com/about/privacy-notice.
We collect your Personal Data in three ways:
(i) Personal Data you voluntarily provide
(ii) Personal Data we collect through your use of the Sage Marketplace
We automatically collect certain technical information through your use of the Sage Marketplace from your device (e.g. your computer or mobile phone).
(iii) Personal Data we receive from third parties
We may receive Personal Data from third parties depending on how you choose to interact with the Sage Marketplace. This includes Personal Data from third parties who sell Applications via the Sage Marketplace, AppDirect and our business partners who resell Applications to their customers or introduce customers to us. Such Personal Data may then be combined with other Personal Data we already hold. We only use Personal Data supplied by a third party where we are legally permitted or required to do so.
The ways in which we may process your Personal Data and the legal basis upon which rely on are set out below:
(a) Personal data which is necessary for the performance of the services we provide to you.
Services. We may use your Personal Data to deliver services to you or carry out transactions you have requested, including, but not limited to:
(i) facilitating the use of the Sage Marketplace;
(ii) processing orders for Applications;
(iii) provisioning Applications you have purchased to you;
(iv) referring you on to third parties to enquire about, and/or purchase Applications; answering customer service requests;
(v) displaying reviews, images and other content and media you submit to us or upload to the Sage Marketplace; and
(vi) maintaining and administering your account with us and ensuring it is kept up to date and is accessible.
Communications. We use your Personal Data to communicate with you, in accordance with your communication preferences. For example, we will use the email address you have supplied to contact you for information purposes such as account management, customer service, or system maintenance.
(b) Personal Data which is necessary to comply with our legal obligations.
We may use your Personal Data to comply with our legal obligations, including compliance with applicable laws, regulations, requests from the government or other regulatory bodies or court orders.
(c) Personal Data which is necessary to meet our legitimate interests.
Analytics. We may also use your Personal Data to improve your experience of the Sage Marketplace, Applications and other products and/or services. We use such Personal Data to understand and analyse the usage trends and preferences of our users, to improve the way the Sage Marketplace works and looks, and to create new features and functionality. For example, we may use the Personal Data collected to: (a) personalise our services, such as remembering your information so that you will not have to re-enter it during your visit or the next time you use the Sage Marketplace; (b) monitor aggregate site usage metrics such as total number of visitors and pages viewed; and (c) help us identify potential new products and services.
Fraud prevention and other infringements. We may use the personal information we collect to detect, prevent and respond to fraud, intellectual property infringement, violations of our terms and conditions, violations of law or other misuse of the Sage Marketplace.
(d) When we have your consent.
Marketing. We may use Personal Data for marketing purposes, such as providing you with promotional or advertising materials that may be useful, relevant, valuable or otherwise of interest to you, in accordance with your marketing preferences, including customised third party advertisements, content and information. We may also monitor and analyse the effectiveness of such marketing activities. Where required under applicable law, we will obtain your prior opt-in consent to send you electronic marketing communications. You will have the ability to opt-out of receiving any such communications, either through unsubscribe links provided in communications, by updating your account preferences, or by contacting us using the contact details provided at the end of this Privacy Notice.
We share your Personal Data only where you ask us to, where it's a necessary part of doing business with you and providing you with the services, or where we need to for legal reasons.
Where you purchase, or you make an enquiry about, an Application which is provided by a third party (“ISV”), we will share your Personal Data with the ISV who will collect and process your Personal Data in accordance with their own privacy notices and policies.
We share your Personal Data with AppDirect, who hosts the Sage Marketplace on our behalf. AppDirect is an independent controller in respect of such Personal Data and processes such Personal Data pursuant to its own privacy notice hosted at https://www.appdirect.com/about/privacy-notice.
We share your Personal Data with providers of tracking tools and data aggregation and analytical software services that enable us to carry out the ‘Analytics’ referred to in paragraph 4(c) of this Privacy Notice and to otherwise effectively monitor and optimise the delivery of our services.
We share your Personal Data with payment processors engaged by us to securely store and handle payments information, such as credit card and debit card details, required to purchase Applications – for example. When you provide us with your credit or debit card details, we store these in a PCI-compliant data vault provided by a third party payment processor.
We may also share your data with our other group companies, including The Sage Group plc and the companies set out in the schedule to this Privacy Notice, for the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice.
We may retain your Personal Data for a period consistent with the original purpose of collection (see the "Why do we process your Personal Data and on what legal basis?” section above). We determine the appropriate retention period for Personal Data on the basis of the volume, nature and sensitivity of your Personal Data processed, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your Personal Data and whether we can achieve the purposes of the processing through other means, as well as on the basis of applicable legal requirements (such as applicable periods in which legal claims may be brought).
Retention periods are set as a baseline, based on statutory/regulatory provisions and relevant limitation periods. They can be adjusted by Sage as needed to address local laws and regulations specific to individual countries. If deemed necessary by Sage, a review will be carried out at the end of the relevant retention period. The review will assess whether the information should be deleted as planned or further retained. Further retention may be, for example, the purpose of litigation or to meet another legal requirement.
If there is any data that we are unable, for technical reasons, to delete entirely from our systems, we will put in place appropriate measures to prevent any further use of such data.
For further information on applicable data retention periods, please contact us by using the information listed at the bottom of this Privacy Notice.
Your Personal Data is important to us. We take organisational, technical and physical measures to help safeguard against the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration and unauthorised disclosure of, or access to your Personal Data.
While we take steps to protect your Personal Data, no method of storage or transmission is 100% secure. It is your sole responsibility to protect your password, limit access to your devices and sign out of the Sage Marketplace after your sessions. If you have any questions about the security of the Sage Marketplace, please contact us by using the information at the bottom of this Privacy Notice.
To ensure that we maintain high levels of security, we provide data protection and data privacy training to all Sage employees. We aim to use and store the minimum amount of Personal Data possible and we use anonymisation and pseudonymisation. We also conduct data privacy impact assessments (DPIAs) to ensure that we understand and reduce any high risks associated with processing Personal Data.
We use tracking code in the Sage Marketplace to collect information to help deliver, optimise, personalise and analyse our services and for advertising purposes. Tracking codes are snippets of code placed in the Sage Marketplace to measure things like visits, activities and transactions. AppDirect also use cookies in the Sage Marketplace to deliver the Sage Marketplace to you.
Please see our Cookie Policy for more information.
Your Personal Data may be collected in, transferred to and accessed by Sage, our group companies, suppliers, distributors and other business partners and/or agents located in countries outside of your country or residence. Please be aware that the privacy protections and legal requirements, including the rights of authorities to access your Personal Data, in some of these countries may not be equivalent to those in your country of residence. However, we will take steps to protect your privacy and to provide a level of protection of Personal Data that is comparable to that of your country of residence.
Where required, we have put in place appropriate safeguards with our group companies, service providers, contractors, distributors and other business partners and agents to ensure that transfers of Personal Data outside the EEA and/or the UK are adequately protected. These safeguards typically comprise the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

(g) not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects ("Automated Decision-Making"). Automated Decision-Making currently does not take place on the Sage Marketplace;
(h) to withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of the processing based on such consent before its withdrawal; and
(i) to complain to a relevant data protection authority if you are dissatisfied with how your Personal Data is handled by Sage. Contact details for such authorities can be found at https://edpb.europa.eu/about-edpb/board/members_en.
