LEGAL BASIS FOR PERSONAL DATA PROCESSING

In order to process personal data, there shall be a legitimate reason. The legal grounds for the processing of personal data are exhaustively listed in Article 6 of the GDPR.

One of the grounds for the processing of personal data is set out in Article 6 para (1), letter (a) of the GDPR, which is the consent of the data subject for his/her personal data to be processed. This consent is for a specific purpose, as set forth in certain events described in this Privacy Policy. A second basis for the processing of personal data is to fulfil the requirements of a contract as set forth in Article 6, para. 1, letter (b) of the GDPR. Unlike the first, this basis arises for you when you are initiating or entering into an agreement with Imagga. This basis is applicable to Imagga and you in case you register as a user on our Website, including when using the services on the Website through payment/subscription. Article 6, para. 1, letter (c) of the GDPR allows the processing when it is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is a subject. It is also possible to process personal data on the basis of Article 6 para. 1, letter (f) of the GDPR, for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child.

PERSONAL DATA RECEIVED IN CONNECTION WITH IMAGE PROCESSING

The services provided by Imagga are invariably related to the detailed extraction of data from images that you upload to the system. This implies in many cases the processing of data that fall into the scope of personal data within the meaning of the GDPR, i.e. information that makes it possible for a person to be identified. The personal data thus obtained, whether of you or a third party, is only processed through the automated Imagga software and this personal data is not made available to Imagga employees or others. Data processing does not include the so-called "profiling" within the meaning of the GDPR - automated processing is not intended to use personal data to assess certain personal aspects related to an individual, and in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.

Imagga may post-process personal data obtained from images only in an aggregate form under pseudonymisation conditions (the meaning of the word is stated below). When the information extracted from the images, including that representing personal data, is used by Imagga for subsequent automated comparison with other images or other similar type of processing, the same information is not treated in such a way as to identify the individual.

In cases where image processing has led to the disclosure of genetic or biometric data within the meaning of the GDPR, as well as data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinion, religion, beliefs or trade union membership, such data will be stored in the best technological guarantees for their preservation avoiding knowledge by third parties or transfer to foreign information arrays. Imagga's software is not intended to identify and does not identify individuals upon receiving such personal information. Specific features derived from data belonging to any of the above categories of personal data, in the case of images uploaded by you, are in no way linked to the identifiable person (data subject).

The information thus obtained and extracted in electronic form is stored on the servers of Imagga for 24 hours, after that the system automatically deletes it. When you have expressed his will for the information not to be saved through the relevant option, this information is deleted immediately after the request and does not remain on the servers of Imagga or other connected servers.

REGISTRATION ON THE WEBSITE

Any person accessing the Website may register with the relevant identifiers on the Website in accordance with the Terms of Service. In order to do so, such a user, who is also a data subject, is required to enter certain data in the relevant Registration form. The data provided by users who have chosen to register will only be used for registration purposes and will not be passed on to third parties unless Imagga has a legal basis to do so. During the registration of the Website, your IP address, date and time of access will be recorded to prevent possible misuse. During or after registration, the data subject is free to change his or her recorded personal data. It is also possible for the data subject to cancel his/her registration completely through the deregistration option provided to him/her so that all personal data would be deleted.

WHAT MEASURES DO WE TAKE TO PROTECT THE DATA COLLECTED?

To secure your personal data, we have introduced technical and organisational measures that meet the requirements of the GDPR and require from third party service providers, that we use, to do the same.

Imagga applies the strictest policy for processing the data extracted during the technical analysis of the images you upload to the system, for which purpose pseudonymisation is applied. Pseudonymisation is processing of personal data in such a way that they can no longer be associated with a specific data subject without the use of additional information, insofar it is stored separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data is not linked to an identified individual or an identifiable individual.

Imagga uses third parties to provide its services, such as e-mail providers and infrastructure services (including for accepting electronic payments). Access to information is given to third parties only after a detailed examination of the documentation and whether they meet the requirements of the GDPR. This review carefully analyses the competence of each third party, as well as their technical and organisational protection measures for the personal data. The results of this review shall be expressed in writing and in agreement for data processing, which complies with Article 28 of the GDPR and is signed with the third party when it is necessary.

Your data is stored on secured servers, accessible to only by selected authorised employees. When you use a form on our Website to send us data, that transmission is made only through an encrypted TLS connection.

Imagga’s services are not intended for persons under the age of 14 and Imagga does not collect personal data from persons under the age of 14. In case that we learn that a person under the age of 14 has provided us with his/her personal data, we will delete it immediately.

In order to provide our services, we use the services of third parties located outside the European Economic Area. To protect your personal data in this case, we have signed personal data processing agreements with these service providers.

To ensure the proper use of the Website, Imagga warns that it is not responsible for third parties’ websites to which we link through our Website, or for their privacy policies for your personal data.
