Purpose of Data Collection
Automattic and WPVIP provide enterprise customers (“Clients”) with website hosting, support and professional services and a content analytics service known as Parse.ly. We process personal data for some Clients when providing those services. Clients using our website hosting services may provide personal data in the form of information about visitors to the Client’s public-facing websites or intranet sites hosted on the WordPress VIP service (“Client Sites”). Such data may include information relating to end-user accounts (if any) on a Client Site (such as username and email address) and any content containing personal information on a Client Site. Parse.ly is an analytics service that Clients use on their websites and applications to track user engagement with the content on those sites and applications. In the course of providing the Parse.ly service, we process personal data regarding such users including, but not limited to, names, addresses, email addresses, ip addresses, unique user IDs and browsing history. We treat each Client as a data controller for the data described above and we process such data on behalf of our Clients as a data processor. We disclose such data only to our third-party service providers who help provide the WordPress VIP services to Clients and where disclosure is legally compelled.
