(a full list is available here) for our or our affiliates’ internal business purposes (e.g., when you use or purchase an affiliate’s services, when you apply to one of our global offices, etc.), marketing similar products, or for other legal requirements.

Your Rights
You may have certain rights relating to your personal data under local data protection laws (e.g., the General Data Protection Regulation, the California Consumer Privacy Act, etc.) or based on your use of our Offerings. Such rights may include:
Access. You can ask us to confirm if we are processing your personal data, provide you with details about such processing, and give you a copy of your personal data.
Erasure. You can ask us to erase your personal data if certain conditions are met. We are not required to comply with your request to erase your personal data if the processing of your personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
Objection. You can object in writing to any processing of your personal data, which is done on the basis of our “legitimate interests,” if you believe your fundamental rights and freedoms outweigh our legitimate interests. If you object in writing to our processing of your personal data, we shall then have an opportunity to demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate interests which override your rights and freedoms. In addition, you can object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. We will then cease the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes.
Portability. You can ask us to provide your personal data to you in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format, or you can ask to have it 'ported' directly to another data controller, but only where our processing is based on your consent and the processing is carried out by automated means.
Rectification. You can ask us to update or correct certain information; we may verify the accuracy of the data before rectifying it. For certain information you may be able to update or correct information by updating your personal setting within the Offerings.
Restriction. You can ask us to restrict (i.e., keep but not use) your personal data, but only where: its accuracy is contested (see "Rectification" above), to allow us to verify its accuracy; the processing is unlawful, but you do not want it erased; it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected, but we still need it to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims; or you have exercised the right to object, and verification of any overriding grounds is pending. We can continue to use your personal data following a request for restriction where we have your consent to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims, or to protect the rights of another.
Withdrawal of Consent. You can withdraw your consent where processing is based on a consent you have previously provided. Your withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of the processing done prior to your withdrawal of consent taking effect. If you have questions about how to withdraw a consent you had provided, please complete this form.
Exercise of Rights. To exercise your rights, please contact us using this form or using the contact details provided under the "How to Contact Us" section below. We do not discriminate based on whether you choose to exercise your choices and rights and will not, based on your exercise of rights, deny the Offerings to you; charge you different rates (including through penalties or discounts/benefits); provide a different level or quality of Offerings; or suggest you may receive such different treatment. We will process any requests in accordance with applicable laws within a reasonable period of time. In order to properly process a request we may need to verify your identity before taking any request-related actions.
Personal Data Retention
We keep your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes set out in our notices (see "How We Use Personal Data" in the applicable notice) or, if applicable, in accordance with the relevant terms in an agreement between you and Smartsheet. We will keep your personal data longer if required for tax or accounting purposes, to ensure we would be able to defend or raise a claim, to resolve disputes, enforce our contractual rights, or where we have a legitimate need - though we will generally not keep personal data for longer than seven years following the last date of communication with you. Where personal data is no longer required, we anonymize or dispose of it in a secure manner.
How We Protect Personal Data
We are committed to implementing and maintaining reasonable and appropriate technical, physical, and administrative safeguards to protect your personal data. However, no company, including Smartsheet, can guarantee the absolute security of Internet communications. For more information, please see our Trust Center.
Children's Personal Data
Our Sites are not directed toward children under 18 and we do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If you are under 18, please do not use the Sites or Offerings or share personal data with us. If you learn that anyone younger than 18 has unlawfully provided us personal data, please contact us.
International Transfers and Privacy Shield Notice
Smartsheet’s primary processing activities are in the United States, as detailed at https://www.smartsheet.com/data-access-and-transfers. Personal data we collect may be transferred to, used, and stored in the United States or other jurisdictions in which Smartsheet, our affiliates, or service providers are located; these locations (including the United States) may not guarantee the same level of protection of personal data as the one in which you live. By providing us with your personal data, you agree to such transfer and/or processing. Smartsheet assesses the circumstances involving all cross-border data transfers and has suitable safeguards in place to require that your personal data will remain protected in accordance with this notice. In the event of such a transfer, we ensure that: (i) the personal data is transferred to countries recognized as offering an equivalent level of protection; or (ii) the transfer is made pursuant to appropriate safeguards, such as the applicable standard contractual clauses.
Notwithstanding the judgment by the Court of Justice of the European Union (C-311/18, often referred to as Schrems II), Smartsheet and its affiliates continue to participate in the EU-U.S. and U.S.-Swiss Privacy Shield Frameworks and Principles (collectively, the “Privacy Shield Principles”). We are committed to complying with the Privacy Shield Principles with respect to personal data transferred to the United States from the European Economic Area (“EEA”), the United Kingdom, and Switzerland. You can review the Privacy Shield Principles, learn more about Privacy Shield, and view our Privacy Shield certification at https://www.privacyshield.gov/. Smartsheet’s commitments under the Privacy Shield Principles are subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the United States Federal Trade Commission. In certain situations, we may be required to disclose personal data in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements (please see our Trust Center for additional information). Smartsheet is and will remain liable for the processing of personal data it receives under each Privacy Shield Framework and subsequently transfers to a third party acting as an agent on its behalf (see "How We Share Personal Data" in the applicable notice). We comply with the Privacy Shield Principles for all onward transfers of personal information from the EEA, including the onward transfer liability provisions. If there is a conflict between the terms of this notice and the Privacy Shield Principles, the Privacy Shield Principles will govern.
In addition, Smartsheet has implemented intercompany agreements for transfers of personal data between our affiliated companies, which require all of our affiliates to protect personal data they process in accordance with applicable data protection law. We have implemented similar appropriate safeguards where legally required with our third party service providers and partners; please see our Subprocessors webpage for additional details.
