8 Data Protection

In order to provide certain features of the Software to the End User, Manufacturer may ask for End User’s Personal Data. End User is not required to provide the Personal Data Manufacturer has requested but if End User choose not to do so, Manufacturer may not be able to provide End User with certain features of the Software.

By installing, accessing and using the Software and accepting this EULA, Licensee’s end user (“End User”) acknowledges, agrees and consents that Manufacturer will collect and process:

(a) personal data, which is information that can be used, directly or indirectly, alone or together with other information, to identify the End User (“Personal Data”);

(b) technical and related information about End User and End User’s use of the Software, which may include End User’s internet protocol address, hardware identifying information, operating system, application software, peripheral hardware, and Software usage statistics, to assist with the operation and function of the Software, the provision of Updates, support, invoicing, marketing by or on behalf of Manufacturer and research and development (“Technical Data”);

(c) location information, which is used on the Product only while the application is running and in accordance with End User’s privacy settings. End User can control when location is shared with others by managing the settings on the Product. Licensee agrees to notify any other users associated with the Product of this feature (“Location Data”);

hereinafter collectively referred to as “User Data”.

Licensee and End User understand, agree and consent that User Data that is shared with the Software may be used by Manufacturer for the following purposes:

  • To operate business and provide the Software to users,
    individuals and entities;

    protect the Software;
  • For statistical and research purposes in accordance with
    applicable law;
  • To personalize functionalities and settings on the Software;

    their requests.

Once Personal Data is collected, Manufacturer will not process it further in any way that is incompatible with the purposes set out above. Manufacturer does not obtain or process your Personal Data before End User consents to such activities.

Each time an End User logs on to the Software, certain Data, including the login credentials, will be sent to servers hosted by or on behalf of Manufacturer. This Data is used to access the End User’s account, the Software and other personalized features. Manufacturer may match the login credentials to Personal Data in order to provide the End User with the Software that the End User is entitled to use, and to provide relevant data and information.

Data that is stored on the Product will be transmitted to Manufacturer’s servers when such upload or transfer is initiated by the End User or if the End User has otherwise consented to it.

Should Manufacturer transfer End User’s Personal Data to such third countries, Personal Data will be protected as described in this EULA and always in accordance with the applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the applicable data protection laws of the country in which the Software is being used (and in consequence End User’s Personal Data is being processed) prevent or prohibit cross-border transfers of Personal Data, Manufacturer shall collect and process Personal Data in such country and shall not transfer it.

Manufacturer will not sell any Personal Data to third parties, nor make Personal Data available to them for other purposes than to enable End User’s use of the Software. Manufacturer may utilize third party processors to perform data processing on Manufacturer’s behalf. Manufacturer is liable towards Licensee for acts and omissions of such third party as for its own. Should Manufacturer transfer any Personal Data collected or processed via the Software to any third party processor, Manufacturer will ensure at all times that the third party service provider will be bound by appropriate contractual guarantees with respect to such third party’s obligations in accordance with applicable data protection law, and ensuring all times that End User’s Personal Data will remain protected in accordance with at least the same standards as under this EULA.

When processing the Personal Data Manufacturer carries out appropriate technical and organizational measures necessary for securing Personal Data against unauthorized access, against accidental or unlawful destruction, manipulation, disclosure and transfer and against other unlawful processing.

Under the applicable data protection legislation, End User may have certain rights as a data subject. If applicable, End User has the right to request from Manufacturer access to and rectification or erasure of Personal Data or restriction of processing concerning Personal Data or to object to processing. Furthermore, End User shall have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. End User may request to exercise his/her rights by contacting Manufacturer.

Manufacturer is committed to protecting and respecting privacy of the users and to complying with applicable data protection and privacy laws. If Licensee or End User have any questions or concerns concerning data processing practices, or End User wishes to exercise his/her rights under the applicable data protection legislation, please contact Manufacturer.

Manufacturer retains End User’s Personal Data for a period not exceeding the period (i) required for the purposes for which it was collected and processed, or (ii) End User uses the Software. Thereafter Manufacturer then will either delete Personal Data or irreversibly anonymize the data so End User can no longer be linked to such anonymized data.
