A) Personal Data we collect and process for our own purposes: Collected Data

When you visit our Websites or participate in Insping’s events, Insping may collect information, which may include Personal Data, from Individuals as set forth below (collectively referred to as “Collected Data”). For the purposes of General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Insping shall be the controller for the Collected Data – this means that Insping decides what Collected Data is processed and why.


When does Insping process Collected Data?

1) Sign-up, billing and Account information.

When you sign-up to monitor web-service via Insping, we may collect your (i) contact information such as name, e-mail address, email domain, mailing address, IP address, geographic location, or phone number of your Insping account admin; (ii) billing information, such as credit card number and billing address; (iii) name and e-mail address when Account admin/Agent(s) provide feedback from within the Service; and (iv) unique identifiers, such as username, account number or password.

Subject to this Notice, we will use such data, including without limitation, to (i) provide you the Service; (ii) send you communication from the Service; (iii) assess needs of your business to determine or suggest suitable Service; (iv) send you requested information about the Service; (v) respond to customer service requests, questions and concerns; (vi) administer your Insping account; (vii) send you promotional and marketing communications (where you have requested us to do so); and (viii) facilitate your transactions with other users when you use our Service.


2) Analytics.

Apart from the aforementioned information collected by us, we automatically receive and record certain Personal Data of yours when You visit our Websites. This includes device model, IP address, the type of browser being used, usage pattern through cookies and browser settings, query logs and product usage logs. We also collect clicks, scrolls, conversion and drop-off on our Websites and Service to render user journey at real-time. Subject to this Notice, we will use such data, including without limitation, to (i) assess needs of your business to determine or suggest suitable Service; (ii) send you requested information about the Service; (iii) respond to customer service requests, questions and concerns; and (iv) for analytical purposes.

You authorize Insping and its service providers to perform analytics on such Collected Data, to (i) improve, enhance, support and operate the Websites; and (ii) compile statistical reports and record insights into usage patterns. You acknowledge that Insping uses Collected Data, as the case may be, for the aforementioned purposes.


3) Marketing communications.

We may use your e-mail address, collected as part of Collected Data, to send our newsletters and/or marketing communications about our products and services. Where you have so requested, we will also send you marketing communications about our third party partners. If you no longer wish to receive these communications, you can opt out by following the instructions contained in the e-mails you receive or by contacting us at support@Insping.com.


What is our legal basis for processing Personal Data (EEA visitors only)?

If you are a visitor from the European Economic Area, our legal basis for collecting and using the Personal Data described above will depend on the Personal Data concerned and the specific context in which we collect it.

However, we will normally collect Personal Data from you only where we need the Personal Data to perform a contract with you, or where the processing is in our legitimate interests or rely upon your consent where we are legally required to do so and not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms. In some cases, we may also have a legal obligation to collect Personal Data from you or may otherwise need the Personal Data to protect your vital interests or those of another person.

If we ask you to provide Personal Data to comply with a legal requirement or to perform a contract with you, we will make this clear at the relevant time and advise you whether the provision of your Personal Data is mandatory or not (as well as of the possible consequences if you do not provide your Personal Data).

Similarly, if we collect and use your Personal Data in reliance on our legitimate interests (or those of any third party), we will make clear to you at the relevant time what those legitimate interests are.

If you have questions about or need further information concerning the legal basis on which we collect and use your Personal Data, please contact us using the contact details provided.


B) Data we process on your behalf: Service Data

We only process Service Data as per our Customer's instructions. For purposes of the GDPR and the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection, we are the processor and not the controller of the Service Data. Service Data means all electronic data, text, messages or other materials, including Personal Data of Users, submitted to the Service by our Customers through Customer’s Insping account (“Account”) in connection with Customer’s use of the Service. Our EEA or Switzerland based Customers are the “controllers” of that data and are responsible for compliance with the applicable data protection law. We work with our Customers to help them provide notice to their customers concerning the purpose for which Personal Data is processed by Insping.

If you are our Customer from EEA or Switzerland, then in your role as a controller, you are authorizing, on behalf of you and your Users, and representing that you have the authority to provide such authorization to the processing and transfer of Personal Data in and to the United States and other countries which may have different privacy laws from your or their country of residence. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that the Service Data is treated securely and in accordance with this Notice.

We do not own, control or direct the use of Service Data, and in fact we are largely unaware of what information is being stored on our platform and only access such information as reasonably necessary to provide the Service (including to respond to support requests), as otherwise authorized by Customers or as required by law. Unless we explicitly agree otherwise in writing, you will not process sensitive personal data (such as health data) on our platform.

As the controller, it shall be your responsibility to inform the Users and any end-users about the processing, and, where required, obtain necessary consent or authorization for any Personal Data that is collected as part of the Service Data through your use of the Service. As the processors of Personal Data on behalf of our Customers, we follow Customer’s instructions with respect to the Service Data to the extent consistent with the functionality of our Service. In doing so, we implement technical, physical and administrative measures against unauthorized processing of such information and against loss, destruction of, or damage to, Personal Data.


Improving and enhancing our Service.

You expressly authorize us and the service providers we use to process the Service Data in our systems to (i) provide, improve, enhance, support and operate the Service and its availability; (ii) develop new products and services; and (iii) compile statistical reports and record insights into usage patterns.


SHARING OF PERSONAL DATA


Except as outlined in this Notice, Personal Data contained in Collected Data and Service Data will never be sold to or shared with other companies or organizations for commercial purposes. We process Personal Data in the United States and the European Economic Area (“EEA”) and in other countries through third parties that we may use. Third parties with whom Collected Data is shared may include third-party payment processors who process your credit card and other payment information for Insping but are otherwise not permitted to store, retain or use such information. Third parties that we utilize to assist in providing the Service with whom Service Data may be shared are AWS & Google Analytics (“Sub-Processors”).

Subject to this Notice, we shall have the right to access Customer’s Account and to process Service Data solely to the extent necessary to provide, enhance and improve the Service, including, without limitation, in response to Customer’s support requests. Our Sub-Processors will only be given access to Customer’s Account and Service Data as is reasonably necessary to provide the Service and will be subject to confidentiality obligations in their service agreements.
