How 4Team collect and use information

  • Web forms where you type information into a form or a search query into a box.
  • Technologies such as cookies, including third party (e.g. Google Analytics) which are described below.
  • Web logging, which enables us to collect the standard information your browser sends to every website you visit or email message from us you opened.
  • Software installed on your computer or device, which may send back information needed to operate, update, or improve the apps or services.

In some cases, the information we collect depends on the specific product or feature you use. In some scenarios, a product may create and store certain data, including hidden metadata, which remains within the document or on the local device but is not sent to or collected by 4Team.

Standard Computer Information. Standard Computer Information includes your IP address, operating-system version, Microsoft Outlook version, browser version, regional and language settings, your hardware ID (indicating the device manufacturer and version), and the name of your software product and the version number.

Connectivity Data. When you connect to 4Team online services such as Software Activation, Update, 4Team receives performance, configuration, reliability, and usage data related to your use of those services. 4Team may associate this data with information about your hardware settings, browser type, IP address, and tenant domain to better understand how variables affect service or software. Connectivity data does not intentionally contain personally identifiable information. However, some data could unintentionally contain personally identifiable information such as, for example, if you include your name in a file location. 4Team may use connectivity data to provide the service, personalize your experience, and improve 4Team services. If a particular feature or service sends information to 4Team, connectivity data may also be sent.

4Team Error Reporting Logs. The 4Team Error Reporting tool allows you to report error messages to 4Team over the Internet. If you are connected to the Internet, when an error message appears, you can immediately report the message to 4Team. If the error report shows that any third-party products were involved in causing the problem, 4Team might send the report to those third-parties. Developers employed by 4Team or one of its partners analyze the error data and try to identify and correct the problem. Although the tool isn’t intended to collect Personally identifiable information, it’s possible such information might be captured in memory or in the data collected from open files. 4Team doesn’t use this information to identify you.

Support Data. Support Data is the information we collect when you submit a support request or run an automated troubleshooter, including information about hardware, software/service, and other details related to the support incident, such as: contact or authentication information, chat session personalization, information about the condition of the machine and the application when the fault occurred and during diagnostics, system and registry data about software installations and hardware configurations, and error-tracking files.

Support may be provided through phone, e-mail, or online chat. We may use Remote Access (RA), with your permission, to temporarily navigate your machine. Phone conversations, online chat sessions, or Remote Access sessions with support professionals may be recorded and/or monitored. For RA, you may also access the recording after your session. For Online Chat or RA, you may end a session at any time of your choosing. We use Support Data as described in this privacy statement, and additionally use it to resolve your support incident and for training purposes.

Following a support incident, we may send you a survey about your experience and offerings. You must opt-out of support surveys separately from other communications provided by 4Team, by contacting Support or through the e-mail footer.
