Privacy Terms

Evolven Software, Inc., including its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, "Evolven," "we," or "us") respects the privacy of its customers, business partners, job applicants and Website (as defined below) visitors (collectively, “users”, “you”). The following privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) explains who we are and the different ways in which we collect, use, and share personal and sensitive information and how owners of the information can exercise their privacy rights.

About Evolven:

Evolven was founded in 2007 and is headquartered in Jersey City, NJ, USA with offices across US, Europe and in Middle East. We at Evolven, develop a unique technology focusing on a chronic IT challenge – the conflict between a need to make changes more rapidly and the risk to stability introduced by these changes. Evolven Change Analytics helps DevOps, production support and operations teams to identify changes and differences that caused an incident, or predict which ones will impact future issues. The details of actual changes and differences are detected by deep data collection within and across IT environments, from application to infrastructure layers, at the most granular level. By applying machine learning analytics, Evolven calculates the probability that an incident can be caused by any change or difference (the “Services”).

This allows production support, operations and DevOps teams to:

  • Accelerate incident and problem investigation reducing MTTR.
  • Avoid incidents zooming in on risky changes before they cause an issue.
  • Ensure consistency of setup and configuration within and across environments (pre-production, production and DR).
  • Detect unauthorized changes.
  • Enable "Zero Touch" environments and more.

This Privacy Statement covers our privacy practices with respect to the collection, use, and disclosure of information obtained through the Evolven websites that link to this Privacy Statement ("Website"), configuration data collected by Evolven agents on the customer’s premises (“Configuration Data”) and data collected in connection with the purchase and use of our Services, which include our hosted software applications, related support services and expert services, professional services, training, and certification.

California Online Privacy Protection Act

CalOPPA requires commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law's reach stretches well beyond California to require any person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting Personally Identifiable Information from California consumers, to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals or companies with whom it is being shared. See more at: http://consumercal.org/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa/#sthash.0FdRbT51.dpuf.

According to CalOPPA, we agree to the following:

  • Once this Privacy Policy is created, we will add a link to it on our home page or on the first significant page after entering our Website.
  • Our Privacy Policy link includes the word 'Privacy' and can easily be found on each page on the Website.
  • You can request to change your Personal Information by emailing us.

CAN SPAM Act

The CAN-SPAM Act is a Federal US law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells out tough penalties for violations.

To be in accordance with CANSPAM, we agree to the following:

  • Not use false or misleading subjects or email addresses.
  • Identify the commercial message sent to you as an advertisement when required.
  • Include the physical address of our business’ headquarters.
  • Monitor third-party email marketing services for compliance, if one is used.
  • Honor opt-out/unsubscribe requests quickly.
  • Allow users to unsubscribe by using the link at the bottom of each email.

If at any time you would like to unsubscribe from receiving future emails, you can email us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and we will promptly remove you from ALL correspondence.

You are always in control of your data, and if you choose to receive information from us, or others, you can change your mind later. In addition, if we process Personal Information in reliance upon a user’s consent, such user can contact us at any time to withdraw their consent. If you are a customer or partner and you do not wish to receive our email marketing communication for promotional purposes, you may always opt out by clicking on the “unsubscribe” or “opt out” link in the marketing emails we send. Opt out of other forms of marketing (such as telemarketing), requires contacting us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Links to Other Websites

This Website may provide links to other websites. Please be aware that these other websites are not covered by our Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy does not cover the information practices exercised by other providers of products or services, advertisers or other websites, companies or individuals, which are not owned or controlled by Evolven. We suggest that when linking to another website, you always read that website’s privacy policy before volunteering any personally identifiable information.

Data Security

We maintain an information security program designed to protect customer data from accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access. We have a team responsible for monitoring and responding to security incidents. Evolven notifies customers and partners of security breaches in accordance with the parameters defined with them in the Customer Agreement or in the implementation phase. We endeavor to restrict access to Personal Information on a ‘need to know’ basis for the provision of Services to you. No such measures are perfect or impenetrable. In the event of a security breach, we will take all reasonable action to minimize any harm. Although we will do our best to protect Personal Information, we cannot guarantee the security of data transmitted to our site or to group companies, and transmission is at the users own risk.

Data Retention

Generally, Evolven does not retain information longer than necessary to provide its Services and for its reasonable business and lawful needs. We retain collected Configuration Data and other customer data collected through Services according to the timeframes set forth in the Customer Agreement or in the implementation phase. We retain general information where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to provide a requested service or to comply with applicable legal, tax, or accounting requirements).

Children's Privacy

The Service is not intended for children under the age of 16. We do not, knowingly or intentionally, collect information about children who are under 16 years of age.
