DevBricks is an application which accelerates the process of software development by helping teams to produce high quality user stories and code. DevBricks integrates with project management, source control and chat platforms to provide effective communication with your project teams. In order to provide you with the best user experience and protect your interests, we require all users of the Site and/or App to comply with the following Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy.

This privacy policy (Privacy Policy) sets out how DevBricks Pty Ltd ACN 666 567 942 of PO BOX 287, Lutwyche Qld 4030 ('DevBricks', 'us', 'we') collects, stores, uses, protects and shares your personal information. It applies to our website (https://devbricks.ai/) and all related websites, applications, services and tools (together the Website). By visiting or using the Website you agree to the collection, storage, usage and disclosure of your personal information by Us in the manner described in this Privacy Policy. Unless we obtain your written consent, we will not sell, disclose, licence or rent your personal information to a third party for that third party's marketing purposes. You must be over 18 years of age to use DevBricks or have express parental/guardian consent, whereby your parent/guardian is also agreeing to abide by our policies and terms and indemnify us for your breach of any policies or terms.

We comply with the Australian Privacy Principles and, for the benefit and security of our international customers, we also give consideration to privacy requirements of other countries.

Indonesia

We also comply with the privacy laws enacted in Indonesia, being Law No. 27 of 2022 regarding Personal Data Protection effective on 17 October 2022 ("PDP Law"). PDP Law specifies two subjects, with two separate functions, responsible for personal data, being: (i) Controller, any party (including individuals, public bodies and international organisations) who determines the purpose and controls the processing of personal data; and (ii) Processor, any party who processes personal data. The distinction of Controller and Processor would be relevant in their respective obligations, liabilities and compliance requirements. You would be the Controller of your personal information and we act as the Controller. As the Controller, you essentially determine the purpose of data processing based on lawful grounds and as the Processor, we must conduct our services as directed by you, i.e. only use that information for those purposes stipulated in this Privacy Policy as agreed and approved by you prior to engaging our services.

Europe

In the event of our expansion into Europe, we intend to use Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission for transfers to United States, Japan, India, Canada, Australia and South Korea in providing the services.

Asia-Pacific

Our privacy processes comply with the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation ('APEC') and Cross Border Privacy Rules ('CBPR') system, which provides a framework for organisations to ensure protection of personal data transferred among participating APEC economies, and the PRP demonstrates an organisation's ability to provide effective implementation of a personal data controller's privacy obligations related to the processing of personal information. More information about the APEC framework can befound here .

However we minimise the type of data stored by and delete your code after 30 days, so minimise any impacts to you.

We will not collect your identification documents i.e. drivers licence or passport, your date of birth or bank account details, therefore if you do get an email bearing our logo or similar identifying mark, this is highly likely to be a phishing scam and you should not respond. If you have concerns or queries, contact us to discuss.

You should speak with your IT division around using SSL and two factor authentication, and any other methods of security in your own systems, along with using caution when integrating into our systems.
