1.2. Introduction

Our Products are sold as PaaS, and it is up to the Customer how the Products are used. If the Customer chooses to store or otherwise process personal data through on of our Products, this will in no way be accessible, visible or transferred to Pixotope Technologies. Our Products have no purpose or aim to process personal data, and we have no control or insight in how the Customer uses our Products.

The only exception is Director, which is the interface between the Customer and us. We are the supplier of Director, as well as all Products and services made available through and which can be administered in Director. To a small degree, it is necessary for us to process personal data in and through the Director, in order for the Director to function as the interface it is intended for. For all intents and purposes, the processing described in this Privacy Policy are for the processing in Director, not our Products.

In the event we should offer a specific Product at a later time, which process personal data in a way that we have insight to such personal data, a separate Privacy Policy will be created and made available for all potential End Users for such Product.

We are committed to your privacy and want your personal data to be private and secure.

2. What personal data we collect and how

We collect different types of personal data about End Users. It is up to the Customer which End Users we collect personal data about, as far as Pixotope Technologies is concerned, it is freely optional to be an End User of Director. The personal data we collect can be divided into three groups:

1. Minimum personal data needed to register an Account (these can be generic, non-personal data if the Customer chooses):

  • Email address or Telephone number

  • User name

  • Password

  • Associated Customer (typically employer)

2. Personal data which may be generated while you use the Director or a Product:

  • Information about your mobile device:

    • IP-address

    • Hardware Manufacturer

    • Operating system

  • Application usage statistics

3. Personal data concerning yourself that you might choose to provide us with through the Account or by other means whilst using our Products and services, for example:

  • Your first name and surname

  • Telephone number or email address

  • Place of work

  • Nationality

  • Gender

  • Occupation

  • Other details you actively choose to provide through Director or your contact with us directly

We do not process special categories personal data (sensitive personal data) and have no use for such data. Therefore, we ask that you do not share such data about yourself or others in the Director. Such data would for instance be religious beliefs, political opinions, physical or mental health, labour union membership, ethnic background, sexual history or sexual orientation.

 

3. Purpose

We collect personal data for these purposes:

1) To communicate with our Customers and End Users, by answering service requests, and providing any necessary and agreed upon assistance for the Products and Director.

2) To provide the application Director and Pixotope Technologies' Products and services to the Customer and its associates as agreed upon with the Customer.

3) To ensure the technical functionality of the Director. We want the Director to function as well as possible. To do so we need information about how Director functions on your device.

4) To be able to control and monitor Director’s user base and prevent fraudulent activity or similar.

 

4. Legal Basis for Processing

Pixotope Technologies processes personal data in order to make it possible to enter into and to fulfill the agreement with the Customer. As Pixotope Technologies and the Customer are two separate controllers, our legal basis for processing personal data is through our agreement with the Customer, and in turn, the Customer’s agreement with you as the End User. It is the Customer’s choice which End Users are connected to the Director through authorization and access via the Account.

In the event the Customer decides to use a generic business email address and not a personal email address related to an identifiable natural person, then the processing of personal data in Director will be much limited. Using a generic email address rather than a personal one, will not limit the Customer’s user experience of Director.

For the purpose of creating user statistics and to prevent fraudulent activity in or in relation to Director, Pixotope Technologies' legal basis for processing is our legitimate interest. This legitimate interest is Pixotope Technologies' desire to improve Director and the Account system for both End Users and Customers, so that Pixotope Technologies may provide a better product in the future. Furthermore, Pixotope Technologies has a legitimate interest in keeping Director secure and keeping the integrity and confidentiality of the underlying program behind Director, the contents in Director and the data related to Director, whether personal data or data otherwise considered commercially sensitive.

Furthermore, we may process your personal data when we are legally obliged to do so, or if it is necessary to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim.

We will also ask you as the End User to have read and accepted this Privacy Policy as well as the End User License Agreement from us. You will be presented with a link to this Privacy Policy in order to make sure each End User has been informed about how and why we process personal data.

 

5. Disclosure of data to third parties

Except in the instances described below, we do not disclose collected personal data to third parties.

We may disclose user base demographics and similar non-personal data to third parties. Such aggregated data does not identify any individuals and will not be linked to any personal data.

Your personal data is not transferred out of the EU/EEA.

 

6. Storage and personal data deletion

Upon your request or otherwise when the personal data we have collected is no longer necessary for the purposes described above, for instance in the event the End User’s authorization to use Director is removed by Customer or by another authorized End User, the personal data concerning you will be erased.
