Privacy

SoftSync processes and transmits project- and task-related data between Teamwork and Jira. Since SoftSync is available for both Jira Cloud and Jira Server, the way requests are sent to the API and the way data is pulled and transmitted may vary slightly depending on the version of Jira you are running.

For the Cloud version, every request is validated using the JSON Web Token (JWT) passed from the Jira Cloud instance to Teamwork. SoftSync accesses and transmits users’ email and associated name. This information is pulled in real time using users’ account IDs. SoftSync does not store any personally identifiable information in the database. With Jira Server, every request is validated using Plugins2.
Scopic may use your personal data to facilitate your usage of SoftSync. We may send you transactional emails, e.g. error reports, security alerts, information about the policy updates, updates of functionality, news about the product, etc. You can always unsubscribe from your emails.

SoftSync processes your personal data based on lawful grounds, that generally include processing personal data to provide you and other users with services and features and/or upon your direct consent.

Miscellaneous

No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment is created as a result of these Terms.

The failure of either Scopic or the user to exercise in any respect any right provided for herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any further rights.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.

Scopic may transfer or assign these Terms and its rights and obligations without your consent.

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and Scopic with respect to the subject matter and supersedes and replaces all prior agreements.
