Privacy Policy

General information

Company improtech s.r.o. is a controller of personal data of customers using our PhotoRobot services or products and potential customers who are interested in our offer (filled in contact forms or signed for newsletter). This means that we collect and use such data (process personal data) to perform customer orders, provide services, support (especially warranty support) and inform about our products and services.

Since our products and services are focused to business customers - not to consumers, most of the data we process are not personal data.

This Privacy Policy is designed to protect personal data, although it also governs how we use all information we obtain about our customers (including “non-personal data”). In cases where this Policy applies to any data we process about our customers or potential customers, we will use the term “data”, while “personal data” will mean only data about the identity of individuals.

The Privacy Policy is in line with the provisions on the protection of personal data, in particular with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (General Data Protection Regulation, hereinafter referred to as the GDPR). The rules of the GDPR govern the processing of any personal data of individuals from any Member State of the European Union.

We treat the received data as confidential, which is why we do our best to protect them as far as possible against unauthorized persons. For this purpose, we use technical means, such as e.g. secure communications protocols. All our employees who come into contact with your data have been properly trained to process them.

We respect your right to privacy. We only use the information you provide to us for the purpose for which it was collected with your consent or pursuant to legal provisions allowing us to do so.

You will learn from this Privacy Policy, how we use the information, how you can protect your privacy and what rights you have in relation to your personal data. Please read it carefully and contact us if you have any questions.

Data we collect

Use of data and legal basis for it

We use your data only for the purposes for which you have given us your consent or for which we are entitled by law, in particular under the GDPR provisions.

The data provided to us for the purpose of purchasing our products are used for the execution of customer orders and after-sales service (warranty and post-warranty support). Similarly, data concerning the users of PhotoRobot Site are used to provide the PhotoRobot Service, including communicating to them (technical) information concerning operation of the Service. In this respect, the legal basis for our processing of personal data is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR provisions (processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of the concluded contract without the requirement of obtaining a separate consent for such processing).

If you are already our customer and use our products, you can receive from us at the indicated e-mail address marketing information about our current offer, novelties and products improvements. It will be mailed to you in the form of a newsletter after your company has been registered with the PhotoRobot Service. The legal basis that allows us to do so is the so-called legitimate interest of the controller (in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR provisions). However, you may object at any time to receiving such commercial information by not giving your consent to register with the PhotoRobot Service (rejecting the activation e-mail received from us), by changing settings in your account preferences or by deleting your account.

If you are not using our products yet (you are not our customer) but you have subscribed to the marketing newsletter (upon registration in the PhotoRobot Cloud Service or through our website), we will use the data provided by you, including your e-mail address, to send the newsletter.

If you send us a product related inquiry through e-mail or using any of contact form, we will only give you information (send email or phone you) related to this inquiry.

In the above cases, the legal basis for processing your personal data is your consent to receive specific commercial information (in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR).

All this to improve the quality of our services and the attractiveness of our offer (for more information on how to block cookies, see the section “Use of cookies”).

Any data we hold will not be passed on to any other person or entity for advertising or commercial purposes.

Retention period for data

The data we hold are processed (i.e. used) by us in principle for the period necessary to achieve the purpose for which they were collected, i.e. to perform the contract for the customer, provide after-sales service (warranty and post-warranty support), provide PhotoRobot Cloud Service, send newsletter or communicate other information requested by the user (customer). 

This does not mean, however, that once we have achieved the above purposes, we will immediately delete all the related data. The obligation to store the data for a longer period of time may result from the provisions of law (in accordance with Article 6 (1) (c) of the GDPR). This applies in particular to tax, accounting and statistical regulations, which require e.g. storing data on commercial transactions with customers for a specified period of time.

Moreover, in order to secure the data collected in our IT system, protect it against loss due to system failure, capture and eliminate potential violations of personal data, we create back-up copies (backups) containing comprehensive data of the IT system for the time necessary for the above purposes (X months). The objective of achieving appropriate level of data security excludes the possibility to delete individual information (including specific personal information) from the backup copy. The legal basis for such data storage is the legitimate interest of the controller (in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the provisions of the GDPR).

Data protection and data security

In order to ensure the best protection of the data transferred to us against their disclosure to unauthorized persons, we have applied a number of technical, IT, organizational and legal safeguards:

  • we collect data on our own server, located in a separate, guarded place; data from the PhotoRobot site or PhotoRobot Cloud service are stored on secure Google cloud servers located in the European Union
  • the premises in which we process data are protected by numerous physical security measures against unauthorised access
  • we use an internal firewall-protected network that is not accessible from the outside
  • we use communication encryption to our servers using SSH protocol and our servers can only be accessed by authorized person
  • we back up personal data (backups) in order to protect them against accidental loss or intentional destruction
  • we have implemented appropriate procedures to collect and process personal data in accordance with the provisions of the GDPR, we monitor and enforce their observance; in the case of a personal data breach we are obliged to notify to the national data protection supervisory authority
  • if the processing of personal data takes place with the participation of an external service provider, we use the services of only reputable companies, that ensure appropriate level of security and protection of the personal data entrusted to them

Entities with access to data

With a view to provide efficient and professional service to our customers, we also use IT solutions and tools developed by other companies. Therefore, personal data processed by us may be entrusted to external service providers to a certain extent. However, we select only those service providers that provide adequate guarantees for the protection of the data entrusted to them.

In relation to the data entrusted to them, we still remain the controller of the data and exercise control over them.

As far as processing of personal data for the purpose of sending newsletters to our customers is concerned, we use the external MailChimp mailing platform.

For efficient handling of customer enquiries and requests, we use Copper CRM platform.

The data of the users of our services are stored on a secure Google cloud server located within the European Union or United States.

The companies listed above, based in the USA, should ensure a level of protection of personal data in accordance with the provisions of the GDPR, as they are certified participants of the Privacy Shield Framework, regulating the secure transfer of personal data from the European Union countries to the USA. (For more information and contact details of these companies, please refer to their privacy policies on their websites)

We are also obliged to provide personal data held by us if such a request is made to us by authorized public authorities, e.g. the police, the public prosecutor’s office, a court as well as the data protection supervising authority.

The data will not be passed on to other persons or entities for advertising or commercial purposes.
