This privacy notice sets out the basis on which any Personal Data we collect from or about you, or that you provide to us, including through www.traackr.com and any sub-domain thereof (“our website”), will be processed by us in accordance with applicable Data Protection Laws, provided that this privacy notice does not apply to information processed under Traackr's Influencer Privacy Notice. In particular, if you are an influencer, Traackr’s Influencer Privacy Notice, available at https://www.traackr.com/infl-privacy-notice, will apply to you in your capacity as an influencer and this privacy notice will apply to you in your capacity as a general user of our website and/or the Platform. Please read the following carefully to understand our views and practices regarding your Personal Data and how we will treat it.

Our website is not intended for children and we do not knowingly collect data relating to children.

It is important that you read this privacy notice together with any other privacy notice or fair processing notice we may provide on specific occasions when we are collecting or processing personal data about you so that you are fully aware of how and why we are using your data. This privacy notice supplements the other notices and is not intended to override them. 

As described in further detail below, Traackr, Inc. complies with the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework and the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce, and the associated Privacy Shield Principles (currently available at www.privacyshield.gov), regarding the collection, use, and retention of Personal Data (as defined below) transferred from the European Economic Area (the “EEA”), the United Kingdom and/or Switzerland, respectively, to the United States (“transfer data”). The Privacy Shield List is available at https://www.privacyshield.gov/list. If there is any conflict between the terms in this privacy notice and the Privacy Shield Principles, the Privacy Shield Principles shall prevail. Although Traackr remains self-certified to the Privacy Shield, Traackr no longer relies on the Privacy Shield as its data transfer mechanism. Please review this privacy notice for additional details regarding Traackr’s participation in the Privacy Shield as well as additional information regarding transfers of personal data.

Platform Users

If an organization with which you are associated (an “Organization”) signs up to use our Platform, we may receive Personal Data about you in connection with our provision of the Platform to your Organization. To the extent we process that Personal Data solely in order to provide the Platform to your Organization, under the European Data Protection Laws, to the extent applicable, we will act as a processor (as defined in the European Data Protection Laws) on behalf of your Organization in respect of that Personal Data; this privacy notice will not apply to the processing of that Personal Data and your Organization will act as a controller (as defined in the European Data Protection Laws) in respect of that Personal Data and is responsible for obtaining all necessary consents and providing you with all requisite information as required by Applicable Law. To the extent we process your Personal Data for any other lawful business purpose of ours, under the European Data Protection Laws, to the extent applicable, we will act as a controller of such Personal Data and this privacy notice will apply to the processing of such Personal Data. For clarification but not limitation, information we process for our legitimate business purposes, such as product development, sales and marketing, is not processed solely on behalf of your Organization. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to transfer data processed by Traackr, Inc. solely on behalf of a third-party controller (“Processed Transfer Data”), the provisions of this privacy notice specific to transfer data continue to apply in accordance with the EU-U.S. and/or Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Frameworks (as the case may be), but may be limited to working with the respective controller, given our role as a processor.

If we rely on another basis to transfer your Personal Data outside of the EEA or UK (as applicable) (such as your consent), we will keep you updated or contact you as required.

8.4 Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanisms used by us when transferring your Personal Data out of the EEA or UK (as applicable).

Please check these policies before you submit any Personal Data to these websites.

10. DATA SECURITY

10.1 We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your Personal Data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed.

12. YOUR RIGHTS

Under certain circumstances and in compliance with the European Data Protection Laws, you may have the right to:

  • 12.1 Request access to your Personal Data (commonly known as a ‘data subject access request’). This enables you to receive a copy of the Personal Data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it. You will usually not have to pay a fee to access your Personal Data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
  • 12.2 Request correction of the Personal Data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate Personal Data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new Personal Data you provide to us.
  • 12.3 Request erasure of your Personal Data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove Personal Data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your Personal Data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your Personal Data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
  • 12.4 Object to processing of your Personal Data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your Personal Data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
  • 12.5 Request restriction of processing of your Personal Data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your Personal Data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the Personal Data’s accuracy; (b) where our use of the Personal Data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the Personal Data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your Personal Data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
  • 12.6 Request the transfer of your Personal Data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your Personal Data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.

13. HOW TO EXERCISE YOUR RIGHTS

In order to exercise any of your rights please contact us using the contact details provided in section 21 of this notice.

14. WHAT WE MAY NEED FROM YOU

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your Personal Data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that Personal Data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

15. TIME LIMIT TO RESPOND

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

If you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact us in the manner described in Section 21.

17.2 If we need to use your Personal Data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

We will not provide the foregoing deletion rights for B2B consumer information prior to such date required by the CCPA.

20.6 Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights.

        20.6.1 To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described in Section 20.5 above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either: (1) calling us at +1(855)-TRAACKR; (2) visiting https://www.traackr.com/data-opt-out; or (3) contacting us in accordance with Section 21. Only you, someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, (such as an authorized agent) may make a verifiable consumer request related to your consumer information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child. You may make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability no more than twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must: (i) provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected consumer information or an authorized representative; and (ii) describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with consumer information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the consumer information relates to you. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use consumer information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request.   In the event you make a request under this paragraph, we may take various approaches to verify your identity depending on the nature of your request. These approaches may include asking you questions pertaining to the information we have about you. 

        20.6.2 We endeavour to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to ninety (90) days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. If you have an account with us, we may deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request's receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your consumer information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance. If your requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive, in particular because of their repetitive character, we may either charge a reasonable fee, taking into account the administrative costs of providing the information or communication or taking the action requested, or refuse to act on the request and notify you of the reason for refusing the request.

20.7 Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights, including, unless permitted by the CCPA, by:

        20.7.1 Denying you goods or services.

        20.7.2 Charging you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.

        20.7.3 Providing you a different level or quality of goods or services.

20.7.4 Suggesting that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.
