PRIVACY POLICY

PressPad sp. z o.o. (an LTD company, the “administrator” of the mobile app) respects the privacy of the app users (“End Users”) and complies with applicable laws for the protection of your privacy, including, without limitation, the European Union General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") and the Swiss and EU Privacy Shield Frameworks.

1. Definitions

Wherever we talk about Personal Data below, we mean any information that can either itself identify you as an individual ("Personally Identifying Information") or that can be connected to you indirectly by linking it to Personally Identifying Information. PressPad sp. z o.o. also processes anonymous data, aggregated or not, to analyze and produce statistics related to the habits, usage patterns, and demographics of customers as a group or as individuals. Such anonymous data does not allow the identification of the customers to which it relates. PressPad sp. z o.o. may share anonymous data, aggregated or not, with third parties like the “app owner”.

2. Why PressPad sp. z o.o. Collects and Processes Data

PressPad sp. z o.o. collects and processes Personal Data for the following reasons:

  1. where it is necessary for the performance of our agreement with you to provide a full-featured digital service and deliver associated Content and Services;
  2. where it is necessary for compliance with legal obligations that we are subject to (e.g. our obligations to keep certain information under tax laws);
  3. where it is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate and legal interests of PressPad sp. z o.o. or a third party (e.g. the interests of our other customers and or the “app owner”), except where such interests are overridden by your prevailing legitimate interests and rights; or
  4. where you have given consent to it.

These reasons for collecting and processing Personal Data determine and limit what Personal Data we collect and how we use it (section 3. below), how long we store it (section 4. below), who has access to it (section 5. below) and what rights and other control mechanisms are available to you as a user (section 6. below).

3. What Data We Collect and Process

3.1 Basic Account Data

When installing the app, PressPad sp. z o.o. will create and collect your unique ID and your mobile device’s signatures like a brand name, model and operating system. The provision of this information is necessary to register and identify the “end user” Account. During setup of your account, the account is automatically assigned a number (the "User ID") that is later used to reference your user account without directly exposing Personally Identifying Information about you.

We do not require you to provide or use your real name for the setup of the app but in some cases you may be requested to provide your, a valid email address. You can always skip this request.

3.2 Transaction and Payment Data

In order to make a transaction in the app (e.g. to purchase access to the content or the other publication, (“in-app transaction”), you may need to provide at the first place payment data to the app store’s payments operator via their store’s app (e.g. App Store and/or Google Play and/or Amazon Appstore etc.) to enable the transaction. If you pay by credit card, you need to provide typical credit card information (name, address, credit card number, expiration date and security code) to Payments operator (not PressPad sp. z o.o. the “app administrator” nor the “app owner”), which will be processed and transmitted to the payment service provider (Payments operator) of your choice to enable the transaction and perform anti-fraud checks. Likewise, PressPad sp. z o.o. will receive only the transaction confirmation data from your payment service provider for the same reasons.

3.3 Other Data You Explicitly Submit

We will collect and process Personal Data whenever you explicitly provide it to us or send it as part of communication with others on PressPad sp. z o.o. platform, e.g. in PressPad sp. z o.o. web chats, or when you provide feedback or other user generated content including contact forms etc. This data includes:

In order to provide you with services, we need to collect, store and use various information about your activity in the app we are administrating.

3.6 Information Required to Detect Violations

We collect certain data that is required for our detection, investigation and prevention of fraud and other violations of this, and related agreements and applicable laws ("Violations"). This data is used only for the purposes of detection, investigation, prevention and, where applicable, acting on of such Violations and stored only for the minimum amount of time needed for this purpose. If the data indicates that a Violation has occurred, we will further store the data for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims during the applicable statute of limitations or until a legal case related to it has been resolved. Please note that the specific data stored for this purpose may not be disclosed to you if the disclosure will compromise the mechanism through which we detect, investigate and prevent such Violations.

4. How Long We Store Data

We will only store your information as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which the information is collected and processed or — where the applicable law provides for longer storage and retention period — for the storage and retention period required by law.
