What data is covered?
In this privacy policy “personal data” means any information relating to a natural person who can be identified or identifiable, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, or an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
In some cases, when you visit us online, we use cookies, log files, and other technologies to automatically collect certain types of information, as well as through emails that we may exchange. This data collection allows us to tailor your online experience, improve the performance, usability, and effectiveness of the online presence of TRIFFT, and measure the effectiveness of our marketing.
Automatic data:
- Cookies
Full details can be found on our Cookie Policy. When you visit the Service, we may send one or more cookies — a small text file containing a string of alphanumeric characters — to your computer that uniquely identifies your browser and lets TRIFFT help you log in faster and enhance your navigation through the site. A cookie may also convey information to us about how you use the Service (e.g., the pages you view, the links you click, and other actions you take on the Service), and allow us to track your usage of the Service over time. A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive after you close your browser. Persistent cookies may be used by your browser on subsequent visits to the site. Persistent cookies can be removed by following your web browser’s directions. A session cookie is temporary and disappears after you close your browser. You can reset your web browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some features of the Service may not function properly if the ability to accept cookies is disabled. Full details can be found on our Cookie Policy.
- Log files
Log file information is automatically reported by your browser or mobile device each time you access the Service. When you use our Service, our servers automatically record certain log file information. These server logs may include anonymous information such as your web request, Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browser type, referring / exit pages and URLs, number of clicks and how you interact with links on the Service, domain names, landing pages, pages viewed, and other such information.
- Device identifiers:
When you access the Service by or through a mobile device (including but not limited to smartphones or tablets), we may access, collect, monitor, and/or remotely store one or more “device identifiers,” such as a universally unique identifier (“UUID”). Device identifiers are small data files or similar data structures stored on or associated with your mobile device, which uniquely identify your mobile device. A device identifier may be data stored in connection with the device hardware, data stored in connection with the device’s operating system or other software, or data sent to the device by TRIFFT. A device identifier may convey information to us about how you browse and use the Service. A device identifier may remain persistently on your device, to help you log in faster and enhance your navigation through the Service. Some features of the Service may not function properly if the use or availability of device identifiers is impaired or disabled.
- Google Analytics
We may directly collect analytics data, or use third-party analytics tools and services, to help us measure traffic and usage trends for the Service. These tools collect information sent by your browser or mobile device, including the pages you visit and other information that assists us in improving the Service. We collect and use this analytics information in aggregate form such that it cannot reasonably be manipulated to identify any particular individual user.
- Location-based tools
When you access the Service by or through a mobile device, we may access, collect, monitor, and/or remotely store “location data,” which may include GPS coordinates (e.g. latitude and/or longitude) or similar information regarding the location of your mobile device. Location data may convey to us information about how you browse and use the Service. Some features of the Service, particularly location-based services, may not function properly if the use or availability of location data is impaired or disabled.
Why do we process?
We process user’s data for several reasons, including:
- Providing our services to users and fulfilling requests;
- Provision of data is necessary for the performance of an agreement with the user and/or for any pre-contractual obligations thereof;
- Data necessary for contracts, accounting, and other documents.
- Developing and improving our services;
- Commercial and marketing communications;
- Legal compliance requirements;
- Exchanging of information and documents directly.
In any case, we will gladly help to clarify the specific legal basis that applies to the processing, and in particular, whether the provision of personal data is a statutory or contractual requirement, or a requirement necessary to enter into a contract.
Business Transfers
If TRIFFT, or substantially all its assets, were acquired, or in the unlikely event that TRIFFT goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur and that any acquirer of TRIFFT may continue to use your personal information as outlined in this policy.
Disclosure
TRIFFT will disclose your information where required to do so by law or subpoena or if we reasonably believe that such action is necessary to (a) comply with the law and the reasonable requests of law enforcement; (b) to enforce our Terms of Use or to protect the security, quality or integrity of our Service; and/or (c) to exercise or protect the rights, property, or personal safety of TRIFFT, our Users, or others.
Sharing and transfer of data with third parties. Protection of Certain Personally Identifying Information
Please be aware that we do not share personal information with third parties except as necessary for our legitimate professional and business needs, to carry out your requests, and/or as required or permitted by law or professional standards (our service providers, auditors, etc.).
TRIFFT can disclose potentially personally identifying and personally identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations that:
(i) need to know that information to process it on TRIFFT´s behalf or to provide services, and
(ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using our website and services, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. TRIFFT will not rent or sell potentially personally identifying and personally identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations, as described above, TRIFFT discloses potentially personally identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order, or other governmental requests, or when TRIFFT believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of TRIFFT, third parties, or the public at large.
If you have supplied your email address, TRIFFT may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with TRIFFT and our products. We primarily use our various product blogs to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. TRIFFT takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally identifying and personally identifying information.
How do we keep your data secure?
TRIFFT protects the confidentiality and security of information it obtains during its business. Access to such information is limited, and policies and procedures are in place that are designed to safeguard the information from loss, misuse and improper disclosure.
Your information collected through the Service may be stored and processed in Switzerland and any other country in which TRIFFT or its subsidiaries, affiliates, or service providers maintain facilities. TRIFFT may transfer information that we collect about you, including personal information, to affiliated entities, or to other third parties across borders and from your country or jurisdiction to other countries or jurisdictions around the world.
TRIFFT cares about the security of your information and uses commercially reasonable safeguards to preserve the integrity and security of all information collected through the Service. To protect your privacy and security, we take reasonable steps to secure your personal data, such as providing a cloud access only via personal link. You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your personal link and personal information, and for controlling access to your email communications from TRIFFT. However, TRIFFT cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to TRIFFT or guarantee that information on the Service may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed. Your privacy settings may also be affected by changes to the functionality of third-party sites and services that you add to the TRIFFT Service, such as social networks. TRIFFT is not responsible for the functionality or security measures of any third party.
If any information under our control is compromised as a result of a breach of security, TRIFFT will take reasonable steps to investigate the situation and where appropriate, notify those individuals whose information may have been compromised and take other steps, by any applicable laws and regulations.
