Data Collection

We collect Personal Data regarding our Users as well as data regarding Visitors to our Site. Such data is typically collected and generated through the Visitor’s or User’s interaction with our Services, through automatic means or directly from our Customers or such Visitor or User.

Specifically, we collect the following main categories of data (which, if it could be used to identify a specific person, or is linked to such identifying data, we will deem it as “Personal Data“):

 

  1. Data automatically collected or generated: when one visits, interacts with or uses our Services, we may collect or generate certain technical data about him/her. We collect or generate such data either independently or with the help of third party services (as detailed in Section 4 below), including through the use of “cookies” and other tracking technologies (as further detailed in Section 5 below).

Such data mainly consists of connectivity, technical and aggregated usage data, such as IP addresses, non-identifying data regarding a device, operating system, browser version, locale and language settings used, the cookies and pixels installed on such device and the activity (clicks and other interactions) of Visitors and Users in connection with our Services. We do not use such data to learn a person’s true identity or contact details, but mostly to have a better understanding on how Users typically use our Services and how we could improve their user experience, to optimize our marketing campaigns and ad management, and the overall performance of our Services.

 

  1. Data received from you: you may provide us Personal Data such as your name, workplace and position, contact details (such as e-mail, phone and address), account login details (such as usernames and hashed passwords) (collectively, “Account Data“), as well as any other data you choose to provide when you use our Services, create a user account or contact us.
    Customers may provide us additional Account Data such as their billing details, business needs and preferences. To the extent that such Account Data concerns a non-human entity (e.g., the bank account of a company or business), we will not regard it as “Personal Data” and this Notice shall not apply to it.

 

  1. Data received from our Customers: Customers may also provide us with data concerning their Users, in order to enroll such Users to our Services. Such data usually refers to the Users’ first names/nicknames and work e-mails, however additional data may be provided at the Customer’s discretion.

 

  1. Data in Photographs: Users may use the App in order to photograph and upload images, namely images of in-store or in-venue shelves holding stock and products. All Users are instructed to only submit to us photogrpahs which do not in any way contain any Personal Data of any individuals whatsoever.

Data Uses

We use Personal Data as necessary for the performance of our Services; for complying with applicable law; and based on our legitimate interests in maintaining and improving our Services and offerings, understanding how our Services are used, optimizing our marketing, customer service and support operations, and protecting and securing our Users, ourselves and our Services.

Specifically, we use Personal Data for the following purposes:

  1. To facilitate, operate, and provide our Services;
  2. To authenticate the identity of our Users, and to allow them access to our Services;
  3. To provide our Visitors and Users with assistance and support;

  6. To support and enhance our data security measures, including for the purposes of preventing and mitigating the risks of fraud, error or any illegal or prohibited activity;
  7. To create aggregated statistical data, inferred non-personal data or anonymized or pseudonymized data (rendered non-personal), which we or our business partners may use to provide and improve our respective services; and
  8. To comply with any applicable laws and regulations.

Data Location & Retention

Data Location: Your Personal Data may be maintained, processed and stored by Trax and our authorized affiliates and Service Providers in the United States of America and other jurisdictions, as necessary for the proper delivery of our Services, or as may be required by law.

Trax is based in a jurisdiction which is considered by the European Commission to be offering an adequate level of protection for the Personal Data of EU Member State residents.

Trax’s U.S. subsidiary materially adheres to the principles of the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Frameworks, and is currently in the process of self-certifying its U.S. entity with such Frameworks. All Personal data received from European Union (EU) member countries and Switzerland will be processed in reliance on the applicable Privacy Shield Framework and in accordance with the Framework’s applicable principles. To learn more about the Privacy Shield Framework, please visit www.privacyshield.gov.

While privacy laws may vary between jurisdictions, Trax, its affiliates and Service Providers are each committed to protect Personal Data in accordance with this Notice and industry standards, regardless of any lesser legal requirements that may apply in their jurisdiction.

Data Retention: We keep Users’ Personal Data for as long as their Customer’s agreement with us is in effect, or for as long as their account is active or we consider necessary for the purposes described in this Notice.
We keep Visitor Personal Data for as long as we reasonably need it in order to maintain and expand our relationship further and to provide them with our Services.

We will also keep and use such Personal Data for as long as is required in order to comply with our legal and contractual obligations, or to protect ourselves from any potential disputes (i.e., as required by laws applicable to records and bookkeeping, as necessary for allowing the Users you engaged with via our Services to meet their own obligations or legitimate needs, and in order to have proof and evidence concerning our relationship, should any legal issues arise following your discontinuance of use), in accordance with our data retention policy. If you have any questions about our data retention policy, please contact us at privacy@traxretail.com.

Sharing

Legal Compliance: We may disclose or allow government and law enforcement officials access to Personal Data, in response to a subpoena, search warrant or court order (or similar requirement), or in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Such disclosure or access may occur if we believe in good faith that we are legally compelled to do so, or that disclosure is appropriate in connection with efforts to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding actual or suspected illegal activity, fraud, or other wrongdoing.

Service Providers: We may engage selected third party companies and individuals to perform services complementary to our own (e.g. hosting services, data analytics services, marketing and advertising services, data and cyber security services, payment processing services, user engagement services, e-mail distribution and monitoring services, session recording, and our business, legal and financial advisors) (collectively, “Service Providers“). These Service Providers may have access to your Personal Data, depending on each of their specific roles and purposes in facilitating and enhancing our Services, and may only use it for such purposes.

Sharing Users Personal Data with our Customer: We may share the Personal Data of Users with their Customer organization (including data and communications concerning their Services user account). In such cases, sharing such data means that other individuals from your organization may receive it on its behalf, and will be able to monitor, process and analyze your Personal Data and associated content. Please note that Trax is not responsible for and does not control any further disclosure, use or monitoring by or on behalf of your organization, who is the “Data Controller” of such data (as further described in Section 10 below).

Protecting Rights and Safety: We may share your Personal Data with others if we believe in good faith that this will help protect the rights, property or personal safety of Trax, any of our Users or any members of the general public.

Trax Subsidiaries and Affiliated Companies: We may share Personal Data internally within our group for the purposes described in this Notice. In addition, should Trax or any of its affiliates undergo any change in control, including by means of merger, acquisition or purchase of substantially all of its assets, your Personal Data may be shared with the parties involved in such event. If we believe that such change in control might materially affect your Personal Data then stored with us, we will notify you of this event and the choices you may have via e-mail or prominent notice on our Services.

For the avoidance of doubt, Trax may share your Personal Data in additional manners, pursuant to your explicit approval, or if we are legally obligated to do so, or if we have successfully rendered such data non-personal and anonymous. We may transfer, share or otherwise use non-personal data at our sole discretion and without the need for further approval.

Children

Our Services are not designed to attract children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect Personal Data from children and do not wish to do so. If we learn that a child is using the Services, we will prohibit and block such use and will make all efforts to promptly delete any Personal Data stored with us with regard to such child.

If you believe that we might have any such data, please contact us at privacy@traxretail.com.

Data Controller/Processor

Certain data protection laws and regulations, such as the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), typically distinguish between two main roles for parties processing Personal Data: the “Data Controller”, which determines the purposes and means of processing, and the “Data Processor”, which processes the data on behalf of the Data Controller. Below we explain how these roles apply to our Services, to the extent that such laws and regulations apply.

Trax is the “Data Controller” of its Visitors’ Personal Data, and with respect to which assumes the responsibilities of Data Controller (solely to the extent applicable under law), as set forth under this Notice.

If a Customer submits any Personal Data concerning any of its Users, or otherwise has any of its Users submit or upload Personal Data in connection with our Services, such Customer shall be deemed the “Data Controller” of its Users’ data, and we will only process such data on our Customer’s behalf, as its “Data Processor”. This means that in such cases, we will only process such Users’ data on behalf of our Customer and in accordance with its reasonable instructions, subject to our Terms of Service and other commercial agreements. The Customer will be solely responsible for meeting any legal requirements applicable to Data Controllers (such as establishing a legal basis for processing and responding to Data Subject Rights requests concerning the data they control).

If you are a User of any of our Customers, please note that Trax only processes your data solely on such Customer’s behalf. If a User would like to make any requests or queries regarding their Personal Data, he/she should contact such Customer directly. For example, if you are a User who wishes to access, correct, or delete data processed by Trax on behalf of its Customer, please direct your request to the relevant Customer (who is the “Data Controller” of such data). If requested to remove any User’s Personal Data, we will respond to such request within thirty (30) days. Unless otherwise instructed by our Customer, we will retain their Users’ Personal Data for the period set forth in Section 3 above.

We will provide a 10-day prior notice if any substantial changes are involved via any of the communication means available to us or via the Services. After such notice period, all amendments shall be deemed accepted by you.

External links: While our Services may contain links to other websites or services, we are not responsible for their privacy practices, and encourage you to pay attention when you leave our Services and to read the privacy notices of each and every website and service you visit. This Notice applies only to our Services.
