How to Contact Us
DySi Open is an online service that includes a web site, mobile apps, and other technology and components (collectively “DySi Open” or the “Platform”), owned and operated by DySi. DySi Open is an interactive community (the “Community”) for communicators, marketers and human resource professionals to access and share relevant thought leadership content. Use of DySI Open is subject to the DySi Open Terms of Use found here .
When you register and join DySi Open, you become a “User”. If you have chosen not to register, you may access certain DySi Open features as a “Visitor”.DySi Open is based upon the same technology as our Customer Platform, and provides prospective customers of our Customer Platform to evaluate or demo our Customer Platform technology.
DySi Open is an interactive community that is accessible through a website and a mobile app where Users may view and comment on content such as information about products, services, events and other content chosen and posted onto the Platform, and where Users may view such content and potentially share it with other Users or outside DySi Open. Visitors will only have access to view a limited amount of content and will not be able to comment or share any content.
DySi Open can connect your social media sites with your account, but only based on your explicit consent, which you may withdraw at any time. However, even if consent is withdrawn, historical activity may continue to be shown. A request of erasure may anonymize your user name but may not delete the substance of any comments or posts that were made.
We collect different types of personal data through DySi Open. Users may provide personal data to us through the servicein a number of different ways, from registration to communications, or when uploading content within and outside DySi Open.

Other optional information that you may voluntarily provide include your language, notification preferences, privileges assigned in DySi Open, and your role or job title within your organization.
Other optional information: You may, optionally, choose to provide your mobile phone number (if you desire to enable SMS notifications) and add other information about yourself, such as a photo, to your profile.

Information collected from Social Networking Sites (“SNS”): We provide Users with the option to link some of their SNS (e.g. Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.) to DySi Open. As a User, you will then have the option to link your SNS to DySi Open. Once connected, the SNS will send us your user profile (including profile photo, handle name) and analytics information about the posts you share on their platform, such as how many people potentially see a post, the number of responses generated by your content, and information about the activity related to your post (such as the number of likes and shares, but we will not have access to the actual responses and identity of individuals who interact with such content). Your SNS profile photo and handle name may also be viewable by other Users in the Community.
