If you do not agree to these terms, do not use this website.
Information on this website may contain technical inaccuracies or typographical errors. Information may be changed or updated without notice. Smallize may also make improvements and/or changes in the products and/or programs described in this information at any time without notice.
The security procedures and measures Smallize uses are publicly available at security practices, which is incorporated herein by reference and may be updated from time to time. Regarding the protection of user data, Smallize will maintain administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to protect the security, confidentiality, and integrity of User Data as described in the security policy above. These safeguards will include, but are not limited to, measures for preventing access, use, modification, or disclosure of User Data by Smallize personnel except (a) to provide the Service and address service or technical problems, (b) as required by law, or (c) as a User or User expressly permits in writing.
The Services are performed using equipment or facilities located in the United States. Smallize’s US service providers are either Privacy Shield compliant or have executed Standard Contractual Clauses (as approved by the European Commission). This provides legal grounds for assuring that when processed in the United States, the personal data of EU citizens processed by Smallize customers when using the Service will receive an adequate level of protection as defined by Article 46 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (General Data Protection Regulation).
By agreeing to these Terms, the User grants Smallize a general authorization within the meaning of Article 28 (2) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 to engage processors for the purpose of providing the Service. The list of processors Smallize uses is publicly available at subprocessors. Smallize will inform the User of changes in such processors in accordance with the procedure for modifying these Terms as stipulated in this agreement.
For the purposes of Article 28 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, these Terms constitute the data processing contract between the User (data subject) and Smallize as both the data controller and the data processor (Smallize is the data processor where the User makes use of a Metered License). The User hereby instructs Smallize to control and process the data as described in these Terms.
Subject matter and nature of processing: Smallize provides a Service whereby to access the User must sign up for an account which involves supplying personal information. Smallize collects and uses customer information to send newsletters, keep purchase records, and retain forum posts. With a Metered license, Smallize also acts as the processor of usage data.
Duration: Smallize will collect data on behalf of the User until the termination of the User’s account. Upon termination, Smallize will store the User’s data for 7 days, should the User wish to reopen the account to resume use of Smallize’s Service or to export data, unless instructed otherwise by the User. Smallize deletes or returns all personal data to the User after the end of the provision of services relating to processing and deletes existing copies unless Union or Member State law requires storage of the personal data.
Partiesâ rights and obligations: The User’s rights and obligations regarding User Data are provided in these Terms. Smallize ensures that persons authorized to process personal data have committed to confidentiality or are under an appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality. Smallize takes all measures required pursuant to Article 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and undertakes to make available to the controller all information necessary to demonstrate compliance with their obligations and to allow for and contribute to audits, including inspections, conducted or mandated by the User.
Unlawful Client Data: Smallize is not obliged to pre-screen, monitor, or filter any User Data or acts of its processing by the User to discover any unlawful nature therein. However, if such unlawful User Data or its unlawful processing is discovered or brought to Smallize’s attention, or if there is reason to believe that certain User Data is unlawful, Smallize has the right to:
- notify the User of such unlawful User Data;
- deny its publication on the website or its insertion into the System;
- demand that the User bring the unlawful User Data into compliance with these Terms and applicable law;
- temporarily or permanently remove the unlawful User Data from the website or Account, restrict access to it, or delete it.
If Smallize is presented with convincing evidence that the User Data is not unlawful, we may, at our sole discretion, restore such User Data that was removed from the website or Account or access to which was restricted.
Additionally, if Smallize believes in its sole discretion that User Data violates applicable laws, rules, or regulations or these Terms, Smallize may (but is not obligated to) remove such User Data at any time with or without notice. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, Smallize complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and will remove User Data from the Platform upon receipt of a compliant takedown notice.
Smallize, as the data controller and data processor, will assist the User as the data subject in meeting the User’s obligations under Regulation (EU) 2016/679, providing subject access, and allowing data subjects to exercise their rights under Regulation (EU) 2016/679.
Smallize assumes no responsibility regarding the accuracy of the information provided by Smallize, and the use of such information is at the recipient’s own risk. Smallize provides no assurances that any reported problems may be resolved with the use of any information that Smallize provides.

When you access a non-Smallize website, even one that may contain the Smallize logo, please understand that it is independent from Smallize and that Smallize has no control over the content on that website.

2.3. Our Role
Smallize processes Personal Data both as a Processor and as a Controller, as defined in the Directive and the GDPR:
Smallize, which you as a User entered an agreement with when signing up for an account, will be the Controller for User data, as outlined in the information above.
Using some Smallize services you may send your clientsâ (âClientâ) data through our servers, in this case, you the User will be the Controller in accordance with Directive and GDPR, and Smallize will be the Processor. Smallize adheres to the Directive of 1995 and the GDPR from May 25th, 2018.
Smallize does not own, control, or direct the use of any of the Client data stored or processed by a Client or User via the Service. Only the Client or Users are entitled to access, retrieve, and direct the use of such Client Data. Smallize is largely unaware of what Client Data is actually being stored or made available by a Client or User to the Service and does not directly access such Client Data except as authorized by the User or as necessary to provide Services to the Client and its Users. As such, Smallize is not acting in the capacity of data controller in terms of the European Unionâs General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679, hereinafter âGDPRâ) and does not have the associated responsibilities under the GDPR.
Smallize should be considered only as a processor on behalf of its Clients and Users as to any Client Data containing Personal Data that is subject to the requirements of the GDPR. The Client or the User is the data controller under the Regulation for any Client Data containing Personal Data, meaning that such a party controls the manner such Personal Data is collected and used as well as the determination of the purposes and means of the processing of such Personal Data.
2.4. Data Transfer Across Borders
You should be aware that if you choose to provide us with your Personal Information, we may transfer such information within Smallize or to Smallize’s third-party service providers across borders and from your country or jurisdiction to other countries or jurisdictions around the world, subject to the limitations of this Privacy Policy.
Personal data collected by Smallize will be stored in secure hosting facilities provided by Amazon Web Services located in the US, which is on the EU Commissionâs list of countries or territories providing adequate protection for the rights and freedoms of data subjects in connection with the processing of their personal data. All hosting is performed in accordance with the highest security regulations, and Amazon Web Services is EU-US Privacy Shield compliance certified and follows the relevant principles.
Smallize strives to comply with all applicable laws around the globe that are designed to protect your privacy. Although legal requirements may vary from country to country, Smallize intends to adhere to the principles set forth in this online Privacy Policy.
In the event that personal information is compromised as a breach of security, Smallize will promptly notify our customers in compliance with applicable law.
2.6. Choice
You may choose whether or not to provide Personal Information to Smallize. However, when you engage in certain activities on this site, such as purchasing products or services, downloading software, or entering competitions, Smallize may require that you provide certain information about yourself by filling out and submitting an online form.

Our forum and blog are hosted on our servers, and we have full control over the data and ability to remove content if requested.

Your information such as customer names and email addresses, and other User information related to the Service may be among the items sold or otherwise transferred in these types of transactions.

Custom Agreements
Last Updated: 15 October 2022
Custom Agreements Policy
Smallize is a technology company focused on building the best software products in the world. In order to maintain that focus, we have a small business team, so that we can have a greater number of developers and support staff. The time and costs associated with negotiating and managing custom agreements are high; therefore, our agreement policies must be more conservative so that we can continue to build better products and services.
Pre-purchase Agreements
Pre-purchase agreements are any agreements requested prior to a purchase being made. Examples include nondisclosure agreements, evaluation agreements, and other similar documents. Smallize is unable to accommodate any pre-purchase agreements. Our End User License Agreement contains language for evaluations and confidentiality. The terms of the End User License Agreement apply once an evaluation is installed, so itâs possible the End User License Agreement may contain the types of assurances requested in other pre-purchase agreements.
Customized License Agreement
Smallize is willing to accept limited changes to our End User License Agreement. All changes must be made in the Smallize agreement wizard. The wizard outlines areas of the license agreement that Smallize is willing to change, to minimize negotiation time, in order to make efficient use of our clientsâ time and resources.
One must be willing to purchase Enterprise Support in order to negotiate a custom license agreement. More information regarding Enterprise Support can be found in the support section. If negotiations are unsuccessful, then there is no obligation to purchase Enterprise Support. Contact the sales team for access to the Smallize agreement wizard.
The negotiation of a customized license agreement is expected to be fully concluded in a reasonable time. In the event an agreement cannot be settled upon in a timely manner, Smallize reserves the right to charge an additional fee.
NDA
In Section 7 of the End User License Agreement, there is NDA-style language. When sharing sensitive content with any Smallize Team Member, simply include a âConfidential Informationâ note and any data or files will be covered and treated with the utmost confidentiality. Smallize is unable to make any additional warranties aside from what is included in the End User License Agreement.
Smallize has limited administrative resources which is why we decline to fill out long questionnaires or forms. Where possible, we will provide you with the documents or links to our website where you can find the information yourself. If the forms are necessary for your purchase and we are unable to oblige, we will direct you to a local reseller who can assist with those forms and the purchase of our products on our behalf.
GDPR Notice
Last Updated: 15 October 2022
Smallize and the GDPR
On the 25th May 2018, the European Union began enforcing its General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). It impacts how businesses collect and process data from European individuals. While Smallize is an Australian business with no European entity, it values the rights of its users and customers and their personal data regardless of their location. As such, weâre working hard to comply with these rules across all our systems and processes.
This page gives an overview of the roles described by the GDPR, the responsibilities of each party, and the efforts weâre putting in place to support these recommendations.
Smallize as the data processor
While using our services, you may upload files for processing via our service platforms, and you may also send our Support Team files for debug or support purposes. Due to the nature of our products and services, your files may contain information from or about your clients. While covered by the confidentiality clauses, the upcoming updates to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy further cement these rights.
These are your data subjects, and you are considered the data controller for this personal data. Our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy refer to this data as Client Data.
Using Smallize services to process your Client Data means that you have engaged Smallize as a data processor to carry out certain data processing activities on your behalf. Article 28 of the GDPR states that the relationship between the controller and the processor needs to be made in writing (electronic form is acceptable under subsection (9) of Article 28). Our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy also serve as your data processing contract with Smallize. They set out the instructions you are giving to Smallize in regard to processing personal data you control and establishing the rights and responsibilities of both parties. Smallize will only process your Client Data based on your instructions as the data controller.
Data Transfers
When data is transferred outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) by data processors, the GDPR sets strict requirements for moving data outside of the scope of its protection.
As Smallize is an Australian business with no European entity, the data controller makes the sole decision to transfer data to Smallize, which is based in Australia outside of the EEA, with its technical infrastructure based in the US. Where we do engage with sub-processors, we do so in a considered fashion considering the legalities of the transfer at each step.
Weâll keep an up-to-date list of sub-processors in our Terms of Use. This ensures we are fully transparent about our transfers and the processors we use. Weâll explain the data we transfer and for what purpose. We only engage with sub-processors who have either certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield framework or signed the EU Commissionâs standard contractual clauses for data transfers with us.
If you have any questions on these points, you can contact us at privacy@smallize.com.
Smallize as the data controller
Smallize acts as the data controller for the personal data we collect about you, the user of our web apps and website, and the purchaser of our products or services.
Secondly, we process data to meet our obligations under the law (GDPR Article 6(1)(c)) â this primarily involves financial data and information that we need to meet our accountability obligations.
Thirdly, we process your personal data for our legitimate interests in line with GDPR Article 6(1)(f).
What do you mean by âlegitimate interestsâ?
- Improving our products and services in a way that is useful to you.
- Ensuring your data and Smallizeâs systems are reliable, safe, and secure.
- Responsible marketing of our products, services, and their features.
- The ability to service the contract we are entering into with you, our customer.
As the controller for your personal data, Smallize is committed to respecting your rights under the GDPR. If you have any questions, please contact our Data Protection Officer at dpo@smallize.com.
What is Smallize doing for the GDPR
Smallize respects the privacy of its customers and their clients. To that end, we have implemented and continue to improve both technical and organizational measures in line with the GDPR to ensure the appropriate processing of personal data.
Internal processes, security, and data transfers
We have reviewed our internal processes and operations to make sure we map and audit the data traveling through our systems. We are implementing functionality within all our main customer-facing systems to cope with the principles of Privacy by Design. Any access to Client Data is only done through the permission of our customers and is always limited and specifically in scope to the contract between Smallize and its customers.
Our internal procedures and logs make sure that we meet the GDPR accountability requirements.
We onboard new third-party services rarely, but when we do, we have an internal process for evaluating these suppliers on their security and privacy considerations. We keep the number of sub-processors to a minimum, where possible using our own technology and infrastructure for processing.
Ability to action subject access requests
Data subjectsâ ownership of their personal data is at the heart of the GDPR. We are working on a plan to respond to data subject requests to delete, modify, or transfer their data. This means that our Customer Support Specialists, along with the Engineers that assist them in their work, are well-prepared to help you in any matters involving your personal data.
Documentation
Our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy are updated regularly to make sure we build upon the good work weâve always done in this area. As these documents set out the basis of our relationship with you, it is of paramount importance for us to openly and clearly explain your rights in these documents.
Training and awareness
Training and awareness about GDPR, and the handling and processing of personal data, have been communicated throughout the whole Smallize business. Each Smallize team member has awareness of the issues and our policies surrounding compliance with GDPR and other privacy-related issues. We have built this training into our new team member training requirements and have scheduled refresher checks regularly.
We believe the above approach in adhering to the GDPR is firmly in line with the ethos of its purpose and what it aims to achieve.
DMCA Policy
Last Updated: 15 October 2022
DMCA Policy
We take the intellectual and proprietary rights of others seriously and require that our users do the same. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) established a process for addressing claims of copyright infringement. If you own a copyright or have authority to act on behalf of a copyright owner and you believe that your copyrighted works or materials are improperly posted, displayed, or accessible on any website that is owned or controlled by us, please send a notice that meets the minimum requirements of the DMCA, listed below, to dmca@smallize.com. Please note that we are a paperless company and we do not accept notices sent to our mailing address. Once we receive your DMCA notice, we will review it, make a determination on the infringement, and notify you of the outcome in a timely manner. If we find that the DMCA requirements have been satisfied, we will remove the infringing content as quickly as possible.
DMCA Notice Requirements
The DMCA notice must include the following:
- A description of the copyrighted work you claim is being infringed or, if the claim involves multiple works, a representative list of such works.
- A description of the material or link you claim is infringing (or the subject of infringing activity) and to which access is to be disabled, including at a minimum, if applicable, the URL of the link shown on the site or the exact location where such material may be found.
- Adequate information by which we can contact you (your name, title, if acting as an agent, address, telephone number, and email address). Note portions or all the information you submit may be provided to third parties (e.g., the uploader of the material).
- The following statement: âI have a good faith belief that the use of the copyrighted material I am complaining of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law (e.g., as a fair use).â
- The following statement: âThe information in this notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, I am the owner, or authorized to act on behalf of the owner, of the copyright or of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.â
- Provide your full legal name and your electronic or physical signature.
Before you file your DMCA notice, please carefully consider whether or not the use of the copyrighted material at issue is protected by the Fair Use doctrine. If you file a DMCA notice when there is no infringing use, your request may be rejected. If you are unsure whether someoneâs use of your copyrighted material amounts to infringement, please seek legal advice. You may also want to consult publicly available reference materials.
Removal of Non-DMCA Content
If you uploaded a document containing sensitive or confidential information that you want removed, do not submit a DMCA notice. Your document will remain private and it will be removed automatically from our servers.
Other Disputes
Disputes regarding trademarks are not governed by the DMCA. These disputes must be resolved by the parties involved. We will never act as arbitrators or intermediaries in these disputes and will not take any action without appropriate legal orders.

Smallize Pty Ltd cares deeply about the environment and acts responsibly to avoid any negative environmental impact. As such, Smallize Pty Ltd has a strict paperless policy, meaning we do not send paper to customers and aim to reduce incoming paper to our offices to as close to zero as possible.
If you have any queries or concerns about our paperless policy, please contact us at sales@smallize.com. We’ll respond within 12 hours of receiving your request (during weekdays).
Due to international mail services, writing to us at our postal address can take anything up to 21 days for us to receive and reply to your message. Use this email address to get a prompt response to any query.
Smallize is a 100% Electronic Company
- All documents produced while conducting our business are electronic.
- All customer interaction is achieved through electronic mediums, all serviced through digital means.
Paperless Office
- We save resources and energy by avoiding printing and the associated postage overheads. We ask all suppliers and vendors who deal with us to interact with us in this manner where possible.
- As well as environmental benefits, being paperless helps us streamline our organization. Our turnaround time when communicating and supporting our customers is very low as we have no paper overheads.
- We donât use fax machines or photocopiers.
- On the very rare occasions where letters do need to be sent to us, once processed, any paper is securely destroyed or carefully recycled.
Low Carbon Emissions
Smallize is a global company. To ensure that we keep our environmental footprint low, we take steps to ensure very low carbon emissions.
- Trade show and user group presence. We support trade shows and user groups via electronic prizes and financial sponsorship rather than a physical presence.

Customer Data And Security
We run our services to ensure maximum uptime while focusing on the security of any customer data.
Infrastructure
Smallize’s customer-facing services are delivered via Amazon Web Services (AWS), the largest and leading provider of cloud infrastructure. Millions of customers in hundreds of countries, including government agencies, educational institutions, and non-profits trust AWS every day with their infrastructure and data.
Using an industry standard like Amazon helps guarantee the security and resilience of our services. Amazon has attained a number of certifications that affirm that they have stringent, working internal controls.
Customized License Agreement
Smallize is willing to accept limited changes to our End User License Agreement. All changes must be made in the Smallize agreement wizard. The wizard outlines areas of the license agreement that Smallize is willing to change, to minimize negotiation time, in order to make efficient use of our clientsâ time and resources.
One must be willing to purchase Enterprise Support in order to negotiate a custom license agreement. More information regarding Enterprise Support can be found in the support section. If negotiations are unsuccessful, then there is no obligation to purchase Enterprise Support. Contact the sales team for access to the Smallize agreement wizard.
The negotiation of a customized license agreement is expected to be fully concluded in a reasonable time. In the event an agreement cannot be settled upon in a timely manner, Smallize reserves the right to charge an additional fee.
NDA
In Section 7 of the End User License Agreement, there is NDA-style language. When sharing sensitive content with any Smallize Team Member, simply include a âConfidential Informationâ note and any data or files will be covered and treated with the utmost confidentiality. Smallize is unable to make any additional warranties aside from what is included in the End User License Agreement.
Smallize has limited administrative resources which is why we decline to fill out long questionnaires or forms. Where possible, we will provide you with the documents or links to our website where you can find the information yourself. If the forms are necessary for your purchase and we are unable to oblige, we will direct you to a local reseller who can assist with those forms and the purchase of our products on our behalf.
