With this brief summary we want to inform you – in the spirit of GDPR – as transparently and clearly as possible about our activities, the data which we collect about you as a user of our technology, how we process those data, and how you can assert your rights in that regard.
Accurat develops technology (an SDK) which our customers integrate in their mobile applications. Our solution allows them to understand you better as a user so that they can offer you a better experience with the application.
Our technology tracks your location several times a day and transmits those data to a data environment at Accurat. We never collect personal data such as your name, first name, email address, age, gender or other, nor do we receive those data from our customers.
Your data will only be shared with our customers whom you have given permission to use your data. This means that they – and no one else – can use your data. Some of our customers process your data through an intermediary. They, too, may only process your data for such purposes as you approved in their mobile application. This usually means personalized information and more relevant advertisements.
As user of an application of our customers you may assert the following rights:
You may send any questions you have by email to privacy@accurat.ai. We will make a point of answering your questions within five working days. Our DPO (Data Protection Officer) is Anja Lemmens, who can be reached at dpo@accurat.ai. If you want to know more about what our customers do with your data, we advise you to consult their privacy policy, which you can generally find on their application.
By using our solutions, the User agrees with the practices and guidelines set out in this Privacy Policy and consents to the collection, processing and sharing of his personal and non-personal Data with our Customers, for which he has granted express permission.
Accurat BV (“Accurat”, “We”, “Our”) is established at Leernsesteenweg 155, 9800 Deinze. This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) defines which data (“Data”) we collect through our solution (“SDK”) from the app users (“User”, “Users”, “His”), how we process those data, and with whom (“Customer”, “Customers”, “Their”) we share those data. The policy does not define how our Customers process the User’s Data.
Accurat offers its Customers an SDK. This technology allows Customers to collect Data about the Users through Their mobile applications and to share those Data with Accurat in order to acquire further insights (processing of Data) such as profiling, and to use those insights to improve Their services. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, process and share the data of Users with our Customers. Although we do not collect personal information of Users, the Data which we collect may as a result of processing lead to the identification of a User. We make a distinction between personal and non-personal Data. As Processor, we collect, process and manage both forms of Data with due and proper care, and various measures are taken to protect those Data. If you wish to assert your rights as a User as defined below, the Data Controller, our Customer, is primarily responsible. As Data Processor, Accurat will carry out your requests regarding your Rights within the legal time limit of 30 days.
Accurat collects and processes the following Data of Users:
The User Data that are collected and processed are only partially shared with our Customers for which the User has given his consent. These processed Data comprise the following profiling information:
The User’s location is never shared with the Customer. The SDK may be used to send an automated message based on the User’s location. This information is not shared with the Customer. Our services are not intended for children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 13. Data is only collected by means of an explicit GDPR consent and by sharing location data using an OS-specific prompt. Children under 13 complying can only do so with the consent of their parents.
We will not at any time sell or rent out your data to individuals or companies that do not form part of Accurat. We use the services of external processors, and will always ensure that your data are handled confidentially and used in a secure way. The external processors will always be contractually bound to Accurat. The processors will never be allowed to use your personal data on their own initiative. The User Data will be shared with the following partners and by the following means:
The collected and processed Data will be retained for a three-year period necessary for the provision of our services and to comply with legal obligations as defined in this Privacy Policy. Once you have withdrawn your consent, all personal Data will be removed. Certain data may be retained in aggregated or depersonalized form, where it is impossible to identify the User. This Privacy Policy does not define how Customers or partners of Customers process the data. Accurat cannot be held responsible as Processor for the use of User Data by Customers (as Controller) or partners (as Processor) of our Customers. Customers each have their own privacy policy on how to handle user data. More information about the use of the processed User Data which we pass on to our Customers can be found in their respective privacy policies.
In rare cases, Accurat may be required to pass on your data by virtue of a court order or in order to comply with other mandatory laws or regulations.
The collected and processed data will be retained for as long as the partnership with our customers exists and has not been terminated by one of the parties. The personal data will be retained for another three years after the partnership with our customer has ended. Once you have withdrawn your consent, all personal Data will be removed. Certain data may be retained in aggregated or depersonalized form, where it is impossible to identify the User.
The user data which we collect are adequate and relevant for our purposes. We will restrict the collection of your data to the minimum required for the purposes for which we process the personal data.
The User may at any time prevent his location being shared by disabling the location services through the operating system.
As soon as you opt out of those settings, no more User Data will be collected by the SDK. The User can prevent his “mobile advertising identifier” from being shared.
No more User Data will be collected from the moment the User prevents this identifier from being shared. Please note that the methods described above for setting those data may change. The rights provided for by GDPR legislation are the following:
Accurat has taken technical as well as physical & administrative measures to secure the physical facilities, computer software, databases and network environments used with the utmost care. This should ensure that the User Data and other information are protected against loss, improper use or changes. Although no method can offer 100% guarantee, Accurat will make every effort to take every possible practicable measure. Accurat shall on no account be held liable for any direct or indirect damage resulting from erroneous or unlawful use of user data by third parties.
Accurat reserves the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time by posting those modifications on the Accurat website.
If a User or Customer has any questions about the SDK, our services or our Privacy Policy, contact us at privacy@accurat.ai. Complaints may be addressed to the supervisory authorities in case of any data breach or failure by Accurat to comply with the law.
