Privacy Policy

Drum Projects values your privacy in your personal information and User Content that you upload and store on our site. This Privacy Policy explains what information Drum Projects (“Drum” or “we” and sometimes “us”) collect about you and why, what we may do with that information and how we handle your User Content.

You should read this Privacy Policy alongside our Terms of Use.

This Privacy Policy is incorporated into the Drum Terms of Use and applies to the information obtained by us through your use of the Drum Site. You can find the definitions for capitalised terms used in this Privacy Policy that are not otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy in the Terms of Use.

We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time, but we will let you know when we do so.

As Drum evolves, we may need to update this Privacy Policy to keep in pace with changes with the Drum Site, our business and laws applicable to us and you. We will, however, always maintain our commitment to respect your privacy. We will post any revisions to this Privacy Policy, in an easy to find area of our web site, so we recommend that you periodically check back here to stay informed of any changes. We will ask for your consent to such changes if required by applicable law; in other cases, please note that your continued use of the Drum Site after any change means that you agree with, and consent to be bound by, the new Privacy Policy. If you disagree with any changes in this Privacy Policy and do not wish your information to be subject to the revised Privacy Policy, you will need to close your account and/or stop using the Drum Site.

We do collect some information from you when you sign up for Drum. Here is what we collect and why.

If you register for or maintain an account on our site, we may collect the following information:

  • Your payment information. To process your payment for your account, Drum uses Stripe, our third-party payment processor. We only have limited information about your payment transactions.

Google sign-in mayb be used to authenticate your identity and provide you the option to share certain personal information with us such as your email address. The information you provide is held in strict confidence. We collect this information to generate your user license, send payment receipts and communicate with the user about product updates.

Our services use the Google OAuth 2.0 protocol for authentication without requiring the user to share their login credentials with us. OAuth also allows secure access to the user’s data, as required by the add-ons, and the data resides strictly inside your Google account. We do not store any of your account data on our servers.

You may enable additional Google features within Drum, such as Google Calendar or Google Mail integration if desired.

If Google Calendar integration is enabled in Drum, the Drum software will import the upcoming events from your calendar to populate the Drum resourcing tool. The Drum software will then keep those events updated based on updates sent from the Google API service. The Drum software will intermittently check for additional upcoming events to import to the Drum calendar.

If Google Mail integration is enabled in Drum, the Drum software will allow users to send emails on behalf of their connected Google Mail account within the Drum software. The Drum software will only ever retreive emails from your Google Mail account that are within the same "Thread" as the emails initially sent from Drum software. Drum software will not access your other emails within your connected Google Mail account.
