ANNEX 1: DETAILS OF PROCESSING OF CONTROLLER PERSONAL DATA

This Annex 1 includes certain details of the Processing of Controller Personal Data as required by Article 28(3) of the GDPR:

Method and purpouse of data collection

In order to provide the Service as it is set out in the Agreement:

  1. the Controller may use the Service together with the input fields on his check-out page, whereby Controller Personal Data is entered into the Service by the End Users themselves;
  2. the Controller may input Controller Personal Data directly into the Service himself;

In both cases outlined above, the Provider is therefore instructed by the Controller under this DPA to collect, store and process the relevant data, so that the Controller may send SMS messages to his relevant and consenting End Users.

Categories of Data Subjects

The categories of Data Subjects whose Personal data may be Processed under this DPA are defined by the Controller and are as follows:

  • Controller’s End Users (i.e. subjects who enter their mobile phone number and other information into the Controller’s relevant check-out input fields, so that they may receive SMS Messages from the Controller);
  • other Data Subjects (i.e. when the Controller enters and uses data of any other Data Subjects in connection with the Service);

whereby the Controller expressly warrants to the Provider under the Agreement, that he obtained the required consent for the processing of the Personal Data of any and all Data Subjects.

Personal Data types and the subject-matter, nature and purpose of Processing

Subject to the Controller’s use of the Service, the following Processing may be carried out by the Provider or his Subprocessors in order to provide each sought after feature of the Service:

 

Personal Data Type* / Other information Subject-matter and nature of processing Purpose of processing
Event / User Action type (purchase completion, cart abandonment, newsletter subscription) Automatically collecting, segmenting and storing each End User event / action relating to purchase completion, cart abandonment or newsletter subscription. So that Controllers may better segment the End Users based on their events or the actions that they performed on their website (completion of the purchase, subscription to the newsletter, the abandonment of their cart).

 

This type of segmentation allows Controllers to customize / select / draw-up the appropriate contents of their End User Messages.

 

 

Automatically collecting and storing website / storefront type data.

 

Different platforms work in different ways (implementation of discounts and discount codes, different ways of generating URLs at the end of the check-out process and different ways of restoring the contents of an abandoned cart). In order to properly process the data and send a compatible link, discount code, coupon code, etc. with regards to the website / storefront and for the Service to be compatible with different platforms, data on the platform sending the API call is required.

 

Service widget/plug-in version data Automatically collecting and storing Service widget/plug-in version data. To reduce the possibility of errors and incompatibilities with older versions of our widget/plug-in, we collect data about the version in use by the End User.

 

Basic End User Contact Information (Phone Number, delivery address, IP address, Name, Surname) Automatically collecting, storing and using such data when the Customer

wishes to send End User Messages.

So that the Controller may send End User Messages to such Data Subjects.

 

To recognise and use the relevant phone number prefix based on the End User‘s country prefix number.

 

So that prepopulated End User Messages and End User Message templates may be personalised by the Controller with the End User‘s name, surname and further contextualised with regards to his delivery address.

 

Collecting and processing the End User IP address falls under the category of legitimate interest of the Provider, whereby this data is processed in order to defend the Service from DDOS attacks.

 

Data relating to the End User’s Cart (Cart value, Chosen currency, Chosen Payment Method,

Coupon code,

URL to complete the purchase
