WHO PROCESSES PERSONAL DATA?

Only Tracker’s employees have access to customer data, and our personnel have been trained to use data securely and ethically.

If needed, Tracker may disclose data to its partners (for example, service orders from our resellers). Tracker may also disclose data to its partners to ensure quality of service.

As a result of the technical implementation of data processing, some of the data may physically be located elsewhere, on the servers of subcontractors external to the data controller, from which personal data will be processed through a technical connection.

HOW IS DATA PROTECTED AND STORED?

All personal data is protected against unauthorized access and accidental or unlawful deletion, alteration, disclosure, transfer or other unlawful processing.

The data centers and the technical and process security of online store systems are at a high level. The servers are protected against hacking and denial-of-service attacks.

We follow good privacy practices in the processing of personal data and planning thereof.

Some of the registers can be located on servers and systems outside Tracker, due to the service providers’ own systems. These include Tracker’s social media sites, support services, registration or log-in systems as well as newsletter subscribers. Some of the registers of the external service providers can be located outside the EU.

The requirements of the EU General Data Protection Regulation, in force as of 25 May 2018, have been considered in the processing of personal data.

HOW LONG IS THE DATA STORED?

We only store our customers’ personal data for the time needed to meet the purposes described in this statement. In addition, some data may be stored longer to the extent necessary to fulfil the obligations laid down by law, such as accounting and consumer-business responsibilities, and to show their proper implementation.

At the request of the customer, his/her data can be deleted from Tracker’s systems, and the data will no longer be used for the purposes listed in the statement. However, deleting the data may prevent products and services from being used and ordered.

For some data, legislation imposes obligations on longer-term storage, for example, for the following purposes:

  • The Accounting Act defines longer retention periods for data, regardless of whether the material contains personal data or not.
  • System logs are collected and maintained as required by law so that we can provide a legitimate and secure online store for our customers.
  • Adequate backups are made of online store databases and systems to protect data, to correct error conditions and to ensure security and continuity.

WHAT RIGHTS DOES THE CUSTOMER HAVE?

As a customer, you have the right to:

  • get copies of your personal data
  • ask that your personal data be rectified or deleted
  • request a processing restriction or object to the processing of personal data under certain conditions.

You also have the right to withdraw your consent to the collection of personal data at any time. However, this does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out before the withdrawal of consent. It is necessary to store some of the data to use the products and services. Upon withdrawal of your consent to the collection of data contained in this statement, you may be prevented from using our products or services in whole or in part.

MAKING A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION ON PERSONAL DATA

The customer has the right to make a request for information on the collected personal data by contacting Tracker. (see section 2. DATA CONTROLLER AND CONTACT INFORMATION). The request must be sufficiently specific so that we can verify the identity of the customer. In case we cannot implement the request to some extent, such as remove all data that is legally required or entitled to be retained, we will inform the customer about it. The data requested by the customer is primarily delivered to the email address in our customer register or by post to the address in our customer register.

Should there be any deficiencies or illegalities in the processing, the customer has the right to file a complaint with the data protection authorities.

HOW CAN I INFLUENCE THE USE OF MY DATA?

Tracker Ltd. offers its customers the opportunity to influence the collection and use of their data. You can influence the collection of data in the following ways:

  • If the use of our products (e.g. location devices) is ended, we will no longer collect location data from your device.
  • If the use of services (e.g. location software) is ended, we will no longer collect location data from your terminal device or phone number.
  • Our newsletter can be cancelled using the link in the newsletter or by making a separate request.
  • By cancelling the marketing rights (email notifications and SMS notifications) in the My Pages service.
  • By requesting Tracker to delete some or all of your data.

We continuously develop our services, so features may be added, changed or deleted.

Note! In some cases, it is not possible to remove all data if legislation requires the retention of a piece of data or part thereof.

WILL MY DATA BE DISCLOSED TO THIRD PARTIES?

We will disclose your data to third parties when it is necessary for the product or service to function. Data may be disclosed for direct marketing purposes unless this has been denied by the data subject. Data may be disclosed to companies that are financially affiliated to Tracker Ltd.

Tracker may use external service providers such as technical telephone support, whereby Tracker may transfer personal data to service providers that process personal data on behalf of Tracker.

If necessary, we will also disclose data at the request of authorities if the authority has sufficient authorization to implement the request, for example, a court order or other binding legislation. We will also always inform the customer of any request for information if it is permitted under the law.
