Who are we ?
Dimelo, a RingCentral Company (collectively “Dimelo”, “us”, “we”, “our”) is a company dedicated to omni-digital customer care. We provide our clients with the opportunity to simplify interactions between their Agents and their target community (we refer to them as “End Users”) thanks to our solutions Dimelo Digital and Dimelo Communities, whatever the digital communication channel used, whether it be social media, online chat, instant messaging within a mobile app, or community forums for FAQs or content promotion for example.
When you use these services, you share information with Dimelo. We wish to be transparent regarding the data collected, the way we use this data, the people with whom we share it, and the different options we provide for you to be able to control, access, and update your information.
This is why we have written this Data Privacy Policy. We have done everything in our power to simplify as best we could and explain to you in the clearest and most accessible way our policy, while avoiding complex legal wording, so that our Clients, End Users, Contributors or even website Visitors be included in our journey to improve your data privacy. If, after reading this document, you still have questions about our privacy policy, do not hesitate to contact us by sending a mail to dpo[AT]dimelo[DOT]com (Brackets to replace with the associated symbols).
Dimelo Digital
Dimelo Digital is a management console for centralized treatment of communications over digital channels, including email, social media, and mobile. We generally distinguish private channels (such as app messaging or text message) from public channels (such as social media or forums).
Dimelo’s solutions might sometimes process personal data belonging to End Users in the context of managing interactions between the Client and End Users.
Information you share with us
As part of direct communication between the Client and End Users, End Users might communicate personal data directly (via a fill-out form) or indirectly (during a conversation) and this data will then be stored in the platform.
Agents who handle content posted by End Users have the option of filling out End Users cards with the information that the End Users directly send them or that they collect during a conversation in order to provide a more personalized service, more efficient as well as simplifying future conversations.
By default, End Users’ records only contain empty fields concerning their identity such as the surname, name, gender, the company, one or more email addresses as well as one or several phone numbers.
The Client also has the option of adding information, depending on the services they wish to provide, in the End Users’ profiles by means of custom fields directly configured in the platform.
Additional information we receive concerning you
Depending on the channels connected to Dimelo Digital, some data specific to these channels can be uploaded in the platform.
Let’s take the example of a social media account belonging to the Client and connected to the platform, the platform downloads and uploads messages sent to this account so that an agent can read, process and answer them. The platform collects at the same time the public data from the End User’s account who initially posted the message. The platform will only retrieve information that is left publicly available by the End User through his Privacy settings.
Information used to contextualize (like the contact page for example) or identify (like the End User’s username on the channel) can be collected by the platform along with the message content. The type of data collected depends on the channel used and is only collected to give the Agent more context information; the goal is always to improve the way the Agent answers an End User’s request, in quality and timeliness.
Let’s take another example: when an email address is connected to the platform, the platform will download messages sent to this email address, store requests and replies coming from said email address via the platform. These exchanges potentially contain metadata and/or information that could contain personal data. And so in this case (email), the platform stores the End User’s email address as well as their name; this is mandatory since it is not technically possible to send or receive messages without this information.
To ensure traceability, actions performed via the platform (such as content retrieval or Agent takeover) are recorded in an event log .
Information that we share and communicate
Dimelo does not share nor communicate any of your personal data to third parties (except to the Client that you contacted) outside of the service providing described above.
When an End User contacts our Client via a third party channel, the message is synced in the platform with context and/or identity information, an Agent then writes an answer that will be posted on the third party channel by the platform.
However, it may occur that we have to transfer some information to third party subcontractors, who handle a part of the services we provide, as part of the normal functioning and configuration of the platform.
These services include in particular hosting, spell checking an Agent’s message before sending it, encrypting images sent without encryption, sending notifications, detecting errors and generating error reports.
Data Retention Duration
We keep data according to guidelines set by the Client and as defined by the law. As established by the Services proposal, the Client can personalize their data retention settings and enforce these personalized settings in terms of the configuration of Services.
By default, during the initial set-up by Dimelo and to comply with recommendations from the CNIL in regards to managing Clients/Prospects files, the period is 2 years.
Data control possibility
An advanced roles and authorizations system allows the Client to limit both access to content and their Agent’s scope of action.
Both End Users and Agents can exercise their rights in reference to their data by contacting directly the Client. Dimelo does not have the ability to judge of the legitimacy of each request.
Dimelo provides the Client with the required means to handle autonomously End Users’ and Agents’ requests to exercise their rights on their data.
Dimelo Communities
Dimelo Communities is an online exchange platform with the aim of encouraging mutual aid, promoting quality content and open innovation within a community of Contributors.
Information that you share with us
The platform enables Contributors to publish and share content. These messages are directly stored in the platform and linked to an End User.
When a Contributor signs up on the platform, he needs to fill out a form indicating some personal data of identification (required or not according to how the platform is configured) needed to complete the sign up such as surname, name, email address, and potentially a login name.
The Client has the possibility of asking for additional information when a Contributor register to his profile to cater to their specific needs by adding custom fields.
Additional information we receive concerning you
When a Contributor connects via a third-party service compatible with the platform (such as Facebook Connect), we can receive immediately some data that you used to log in such as for example your surname, name, email address, and login ID.
The data provided by the Contributor third-party login depends only on Privacy settings parameters defined or validated by the Contributor within the third-party service.
This information helps fill out certain information directly in the Contributor’s profile.
Information that we share and communicate
Dimelo doesn’t share, nor do we communicate any of your information to third-parties (except to the Client you contact) outside of the provision of services described above.
However, it may occur that we have to transfer certain information towards third party subcontractors, who handle a part of the services we provide, as part of normal functioning and configuration of the platform.
These services include in particular hosting, sending notification emails and private messages between Contributors, storing folders and attachments.
Data Retention duration
We keep data according to guidelines set by the Client and as defined by the law. As established by the Services proposal, the Client can personalize their retention settings and enforce these personalized settings in terms of the configuration of Services.
We recommend and plan by default to store the data for a period of 2 years.
Identities that have not been active during the defined period are made anonymous but their content can still be seen. The content can be deleted one by one afterwards.
Data control possibility
By definition, the platform is public to a specific community and by default so is all its content.
An advanced roles and authorizations system allows the Client to limit the options of accessing/creating/modifying/deleting/moderating content and access to said content depending on your User profile in the platform (Administrator or End User).
Contributors have the option of exercising their rights on their personal data by contacting directly the Client. Dimelo does not have the ability to judge of the legitimacy of each request.
Dimelo provides the Client with the means required to operate independently on Contributors’ requests to exercise their rights.
