Who we are

Appzi, Inc. is an American startup founded in the state of Delaware, United States of America. This privacy policy will explain how our organization uses the personal data we collect from you when you use our website and services.

1 Context and Definitions

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully so that you can better understand how Your personal data is used and shared. All capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning given to them in Our Terms of Service, which can be found at www.appzi.com/terms.

This Privacy Policy applies to:

• “Customers” which make use of Appzi Services as defined in this Policy who are implicitly a share of the “Visitors“ of Appzi.com (“Our Site“)
• “End Users“ of Our Customers’ websites (“Customer Website(s)“)

The following sections describe who we are and what we do, the general rights applicable to both End Users and Visitors as well as certain specific terms that apply only to End Users or Visitors. For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, End Users and Visitors may hereinafter sometimes be collectively referred to as “You” whilst the Customer Websites and Our Site may sometimes be collectively referred to as “Appzi Enabled Site“. This Privacy Policy along with the Data Protection Agreement “DPA” forms an integral part of Our Terms of Service and describes Our privacy practices. Unless otherwise stated herein, any capitalized terms shall have the same meaning as those found in the Terms of Services.

2 What data do we collect?

When creating a Appzi account or signing-up for content or offers, We may ask the Visitor to provide Us with their personal identification information.

Through the Appzi code embedded on a Appzi Enabled Site, we collect and process the device-specific data of the Visitor and End User. The following information may be collected related to Your device and browser.

A detailed list of the collected personal data is available in §2.2 of the SCC appendix.

3 How do we collect Your data?

The Visitor directly provides Our Company with most of the data we collect. We collect data and process data when You:

• Register online or place an order for any of our products or services.
• Voluntarily complete a customer survey or provide feedback on any of our message boards or via email.

Our Company may also receive your data indirectly from Public company profile of Our Customer.

For the purposes of the services that Appzi provides to Customer Websites, Appzi acts as Data Processor in respect to the Customer and End User data and solely processes the personal data in accordance with the instructions received from Our Customer as Data Controller, the owner and/or operator of the Appzi Enabled Websites. This includes how Appzi collects information from the End User’s browser and device when an End User accesses the Customer Website. Appzi Enabled Sites insert a tracking code onto their respective website. This tracking code contacts Appzi’s servers and provides a script to Your computer or device accessing the Appzi Enabled Site. The script will capture specific data related to the viewer’s interaction with that particular webpage. This information is then sent to Appzi’s servers for processing.

4 Purposes of processing and legal bases

The Processor and Subprocessors will process Company data to provide the Services in accordance with the Agreement. A list of detailed processing activities is included in the §2.4.1 of the SCC appendix to the DPA agreement.

4.1 Operations

Our Customers may access a broad range of information about their interactions with Our Site, including updating of the Customer Account details and information. As a data subject and controller, the Customer may ask Appzi to confirm whether any of their or End User personal data is being processed.

Our Company collects Customer data so that we can:

• Process your order and manage your account.

Our Customer may deactivate their Appzi account and/or unsubscribe from receiving content or offers from Us at any time, by contacting Us.

4.2 Direct marketing

Appzi may obtain contact details from electronic mail in relation to the sale of its Services and may therefore use such details for direct marketing of its Services. In all correspondence, Our Customers shall have the opportunity to unsubscribe from receiving direct marketing free of charge.

4.3 Subprocessor contracting

We use a select number of trusted Third Party providers to help us provide Services to You. We only share information with the Third Party that is required for the service they are offering and contractually bind these providers to keep any information We share with them as confidential and to be used only to the extent necessary to fulfil its performance obligations and to follow our instructions with respect to such data.

Our solution and website is hosted and supported by a number of external cloud providers (“Cloud”). Personal data collected are stored in the Cloud infrastructure that is used for the purpose of fulfilling the contract with our potential and existing customers and in the interest of secure, fast and efficient provision of our online services by a professional provider according to the Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

5 Providing Customer personal data to third party

Appzi may disclose Your information to a limited set of trusted Third Parties in the situations explained below:

• we will disclose Your personal information where We are bound to do so, at law or via a court order as well as to meet any legal or regulatory requirement or obligations (article 23 of GDPR). We will use all reasonable efforts to ensure that those requirements or obligations are in accordance with Applicable Law;
• we reserve the right to disclose Your information to any Third Party if We have reasonable information to believe that the disclosure is necessary for the purpose of an investigation and/or for the enforcement of any breaches of the Terms of Service (if applicable), to detect, prevent or otherwise address fraud, security, technical issues or other irregularities or illegalities, protect the rights and interests as well as the property of Appzi;

Appzi shall not be held liable by any Third Party, including You, in any event of unauthorized access, use and/or disclosure of information provided that such is not due to Gross Negligence, willful misconduct, fraud or bad faith by Appzi.

6 International transfer of personal data

Appzi uses cloud solutions offered by companies based in the USA. Using any of Our services will transfer your personal information to the US servers of these companies. We must point out that the USA is not a safe third country within the meaning of EU data protection law. US companies are required to release personal data to security authorities without you as the data subject being able to take legal action against this. The possibility cannot therefore be excluded that US authorities (e.g. secret services) may process, evaluate and permanently store your data on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence over these processing activities.

Data transmission to the US is based on the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) of the European Commission and part of the mutually agreed DPA.

By agreeing to Our privacy policy, You acknowledge that Appzi may transfer your data from the Customer and End user location to USA and process the personal data on the premises of Our solution hosting providers.

Detailed stipulations concerning international data transfer are available in §11 of DPA and SCC.

7 How do we secure your data?

Appzi has implemented various measures to ensure that the information is adequately protected against unauthorized access, use, disclosure and destruction. The technical and organisational measures ensure an appropriate level of security, taking into account the nature, scope, context and purpose of the processing, and the risks for the rights and freedoms of natural persons. Please keep in mind that risk can never be eliminated but can be significantly mitigated and reduced. All measures that Appzi has taken significantly reduce the risk and ensure the compliance with §32 of GDPR and fulfillment of security of processing clause in §8.6 of the SCC contract.

Security measures adopted by Appzi are listed in the Annex II Technical and organisational measures of the SCC appendix.
