Privacy Policy
Last updated: [Add launch date]. This is a general-purpose draft and should be reviewed by a qualified professional before the site goes live.
1. Overview
This Privacy Policy explains how NorthernSky ("NorthernSky," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information in connection with our website (northernsky.cloud) and our software products, TraceFlow and Batchwork (together, the "Services").
2. Information We Collect
We collect information in the following ways:
- Information you provide directly — such as your name, business email address, company name, and message when you submit our contact form, or when you create or are invited to a TraceFlow or Batchwork account.
- Account and workspace data — information you or your organization enter into TraceFlow (such as requirements, tasks, decisions, and project details) or Batchwork (such as supplier, ingredient, production, customer, and shipment records).
- Usage information — basic technical information such as browser type, device information, and pages visited, collected automatically when you use our website or Services.
3. How We Use Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide, operate, and maintain TraceFlow and Batchwork
- Respond to inquiries submitted through our contact form
- Send account-related and in-application notifications
- Improve our products and understand how they are used
- Maintain the security of our Services
4. Business and Workspace Data
Data entered into TraceFlow or Batchwork by an organization — including requirements, tasks, decision log entries, supplier records, ingredient lots, production batches, and shipment records — belongs to that organization. NorthernSky accesses this data only as needed to operate the Services, provide support, or as required by law.
5. Account Access
TraceFlow and Batchwork currently use invitation-based account access. Team members are added by an existing account administrator, and access levels are controlled through the role assigned to each user.
6. Sharing of Information
We do not sell personal information. We may share information with:
- Service providers who help us operate our website and Services (such as hosting and infrastructure providers)
- Authorities, where required to comply with the law
- A successor entity, in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets
7. Data Retention
We retain account and workspace data for as long as an account remains active, and for a reasonable period afterward to allow for account recovery, unless a shorter period is required by law or requested by the account holder.
8. Your Choices
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information by contacting us using the details on our Contact page. Organizational administrators can manage team member access directly within TraceFlow or Batchwork.
9. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
10. Cookies
Our website may use cookies or similar technologies to support basic functionality and to understand how visitors use the site. You can control cookies through your browser settings.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above.
