X. Additional Information

How to access and control your information You can exercise some of the choices by logging into the Services and using settings available within the Services or your account. Where the Services are administered for you by an administrator (see “Notice to End Users” below), you may need to contact your administrator to assist with your requests first. For all other requests, you may contact us as provided in the Contact Us section below to request assistance.

You or an administrator can deactivate your access to a space. If you can deactivate your own access, that setting is available to you in the space settings. Otherwise, please contact your administrator. If you are an administrator and are unable to deactivate an account through your administrator settings, please contact Storyblok support. Please be aware that deactivating access to a space does not delete your information from that space; your added content remains visible to other Service users based on your past participation within the Services. For example: if you have created a blog article in a specific space this blog article will still be available in that space.

Notice to End Users

Our products are intended for both personal use and use by organizations. Where the Services are made available to you through an organization (e.g. your employer), that organization is the administrator of the Services.

Even if the Services are not currently administered to you by an organization, if you are a member of a team administered by an organization, or if you use an email address provided by an organization (such as your work email address) to access the Services, then the administrator of that team or the owner of the domain associated with your organizational email address (e.g. your employer) may assert administrative control over your account and use of the Services at a later date. You will be notified if this happens.

Space administrators are able to restrict your access to and privileges within the respective space administrator controls. In some cases, enterprise administrators can also:

• require you to reset your account password;
• restrict, suspend or terminate your access to the Services or your account;
• control your ability to edit, restrict, modify or delete account information;
• change your account information, including profile information or the email address associated with your account;
• access information in and about your account;
• access or retain information stored as part of your account; and
• enable or disable apps, custom field types, third-party apps, or other integrations.

If you do not want an administrator to be able to assert control over your account or use of the Services, you should deactivate your membership with the relevant space or remove any email addresses containing a domain owned or controlled by the administrator entirely from your account. Once an administrator asserts control over your account or use of the Services, you may no longer be able to withdraw membership or change the email address associated with your account without administrator approval.

Please contact your organization or refer to your administrator’s organizational policies for more information.
