Information We Process on Behalf of a Customer

• Processed Data You Enter Into the Services

You may entrust information that you or your organization control, to Finale in connection with your use of our Services or for requesting technical support for our Services. This includes information regarding your customers (“End Customers”), your suppliers (“Suppliers”), or data that you hold and use on behalf of another person for a specific purpose, such as a customer to whom you provide services (if you are a processor). The data may either be stored on our servers when you use our Services, or transferred or shared with us as part of a request for technical support or other services.

• Processed Data Received from Enabled Third-party Integrations

Most Services support integrations with third-party services. If you choose to enable any third-party integrations, we may receive information, including personal information, from those third-parties, which we then process on your behalf. We encourage you to review the privacy practices of the third-party services before you enable integrations with them.

• Processed Data Received Through Your Use of Our Downloadable Applications

When you elect to use our barcode scanner applications to scan barcodes, the scanned barcodes will be transmitted to our cloud-based Services and will be used only for tracking inventory.  The data stored on your mobile device will be used in the context of the mobile application, and transferred to and associated with your account in the corresponding Services (in which case the data will be stored on our servers) or remain on your device (in which case the data will remain with you unless you share it with us). In addition to transferring data from your mobile device to the account on the cloud-based Services, you may also elect download information from your cloud account to your local device through one of our applications. In this case, information regarding your account, such as your product IDs, your stock levels, your purchase orders and your sales orders may be downloaded to and stored on your mobile device. For clarity, the information you download to your mobile devices may include Processed Data (as defined before), data that we control, or a combination of both.
