Privacy Policy

Overview

StatNote (“we” or “us” or “our”) is the custodian of data on behalf of the Organizations, Teams, Team Members, Administrative Users, and Individual Users that use our Service, as defined in our Terms of Service Agreement (“TOS”) which includes, but is not limited to, our StatNote® software. “You” or “your” means you, any Individual User, or Team Member using the Service or any Organization as defined in the TOS. All capitalized terms shall have the definition and meaning given them in our TOS.

StatNote doesn’t own Your Data or Metadata. You may own same, depending on the type of Organization (i.e. Type 1, 2, or 3) of which you are a Team Member. Please refer to our TOS for more details. In order to access content shared within a specific Team, authentication as an Organization User or Administrative User is required. Please refer to our User Data Request Policy for details on requests for user data and content removal requests.

This privacy policy will help you understand what information StatNote collects, how we use it, and your choices. The Service and through it, StatNote, is available for use via a web browser at our website at https://StatNote.com (the “Site”) and via applications specific to your desktop computer or mobile device. Our current version of the TOS is posted on the Site.

This policy describes how StatNote treats Your Data and information, not how others treat it. Privacy, security and confidentiality are important to StatNote. If you’re using the Service as a Team Member most likely your Organization has established its own policies regarding access to your information, storage, deletion, modification, sharing, and retention of content which may apply to your use of the Service. Content that would otherwise be considered private to you or a limited group of people may be accessible by your Organization Administrator or Team Administrator. Please check with your Organization regarding its policies and settings and how they may impact your communication and data in using the Service. In addition, the Type of Organization to which you belong will affect your Privacy rights to certain content.

In any Organization Type, some people will have more privileges regarding the Service than others. For example, the Organization Administrator has the most power and control to create, edit, set access controls, and to remove Organization Users, Team Administrators, Users or Teams from the Service. Team Administrators can only add and remove Organization Users within their Team. Organization Users have no such privileges but may be able to create or edit content. The nature and extent of these privileges are based on the Type of Organization to which you belong.

To the extent that you have export rights or have been given access permissions, you may request access to your account, and to all those you administer, if any, to support@StatNote.com, for the sole purpose of exporting Your Data.

Organization Administrator: You may create, edit, suspend, deactivate accounts for, set access controls for, and remove Organization Administrators, Team Administrators, Team Members, Teams, and Organization Users within your Organization. You may also change the Organization Type as provided in the TOS.

You may modify the circumstances under which Organization Users, can edit or delete Snippet content. You may delete groups controlled by any of your Team Members. Deleting shared groups will not result in their immediate removal from local storage or backups by group members.

Organization Users: You may edit your Personal Profile information at any time, including any opt-in email permissions. Subject to your access controls and permissions, you may be able to create Snippets and Snippet groups and share them with others, both within and outside the Organization and you also may be able to edit Snippet groups and Snippets.

If you are an Individual User, you may control your Snippet group. Otherwise, Snippet groups are controlled either by the Organization Administrator, Team Administrator, or Organization User. When an Organization User becomes an Individual User, that Individual User loses access to Snippets and Snippet groups controlled by the Organization. The Individual User would still have access to Snippets and Snippet groups controlled by or otherwise shared with that user.
