Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

 

Effective as of: 15.07.2023.

Your privacy is extremely important to us. As such, we aim to inform you about our online information practices and give you options regarding the way your information is collected and used. This Privacy Policy relates to the information collected by Cliper (referred to in this Privacy Policy as "Cliper" "we" or "us" or "our") through your use of our website and our platform, as well as Services, features, and information available on our website (which are collectively referred to in this Privacy Policy as the "Cliper Service").

 

Scope of this Privacy Policy

Please be aware that this Privacy Policy does not govern all the information Cliper may process. Our commitment to customers and service providers is governed by a separate Data Protection Addendum.

This Privacy Policy is also incorporated into and governed by our Terms of Use.

Our commitments to employees are governed by our internal employment policies.

We are committed to transparency with our customers, employees, and to protecting your data privacy in all instances.

 

What Information do we Collect?

You will be required to establish an account in order to take advantage of certain features of the Cliper Service. If you wish to establish an account you will be required to provide us with information (including personally identifiable information and non-personally identifiable information). In addition, we may obtain your personally identifiable information from you if you identify yourself to us by sending us an e-mail with questions or comments.

Depending on your use of the Cliper Service, we collect two types of information: personally identifiable information and non-personally identifiable information.

 

Personally Identifiable Information

Personally identifiable information identifies you or can be used to identify or contact you (for example: your name, IP address, company name, job title, address, e-mail address, telephone number, and billing and credit card information).

 

Non-Personally Identifiable Information

Non-personally identifiable information is information, any single item of which, by itself cannot be used to identify or contact you (for example: demographic information - age, profession, company industry, gender, current location, or zip code - IP addresses, browser types, domain names, and statistical data) involving the use of the Cliper Service. Certain non-personally identifiable information may be considered a part of your personally identifiable information if it were combined with other identifiers (for example: combining your zip code with your street address) in a way that enables you to be identified. But the same pieces of information are considered non-personally identifiable information when they are taken alone or combined only with other non-personally identifiable information (for example: your account preferences).

 

Why do we Need your Personal Data

We do not sell any data, including your personal data. We will only process your personal data in accordance with applicable data protection and privacy laws. We need certain personal data in order to provide you with access to Cliper. If you registered with us, you will have been asked to check a tick box indicating your agreement to provide this data to access our services. This consent provides us with the legal basis we require under applicable law to process your data. You maintain the right to withdraw such consent at any time. If you do not agree to our use of your personal data in line with this policy, please do not use our platform.

 

Information we collect automatically when you use the Services:

We collect information about you when you use our Services, including browsing our websites and apps and taking certain actions within the Services.

Your use of the Services: We keep track of certain information about you when you visit and interact with any of our Services.

We use your IP address and/or country preference to approximate your location to provide you with a better Service experience. How much of this information we collect depends on the type and settings of the device you use to access the Services.

Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies: Cliper and our third-party partners, such as our advertising and analytics partners, use cookies and other tracking technologies (web beacons, device identifiers and pixels) to provide functionality and to recognize you across different Services and devices.

This information may be used to analyze trends, to administer the Cliper, to monitor the use of the Cliper Service, and to gather general demographic information. We may link this information to personally identifiable information for these and other purposes, such as personalizing your experience on the Cliper Service, and evaluating the Cliper Service in general.

 

Information we receive from other sources

We receive information about you from other Service users, from third party services, and from our business and channel partners.

Other services you link to your account: We receive information about you when you enable third-party apps or integrate or link a third-party service with our Services. The information we receive when you link your account with a third-party service depends on the settings, permissions and privacy policy controlled by that third-party service. You should always check the privacy settings and notices in these third-party services to understand what data may be disclosed to us or shared with our Services.

Other partners: We receive information about you and your activities on and off the Services from third-party partners, such as advertising and market research partners who provide us with information about your interest in, and engagement with, our Services and online advertisements.

We may disclose personally identifiable information in special circumstances when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be violating our Terms of Service, to detect fraud, or to protect the safety and/or security of our users, the Cliper Service or the general public. We are subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

We also may be required to disclose an individual’s personal information in response to a lawful request by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.

We take precautions to protect the security of your information. We have physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to help safeguard, prevent unauthorized access, maintain data security, and correctly use your information. However, neither people nor security systems are foolproof, including encryption systems. In addition, people can commit intentional crimes, make mistakes or fail to follow policies. If applicable law imposes any non-disclaimable duty to protect your personally identifiable information, you agree that intentional misconduct will be the standards used to measure our compliance with that duty.

Personally identifiable information collected on the Cliper Service may be transferred from time to time to our offices or personnel, or to third parties, located throughout the world, and the Cliper Service may be viewed and hosted anywhere in the world, including countries that may not have laws of general applicability regulating the use and transfer of such data. To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, by using the Cliper Service and submitting such information on it, you voluntarily consent to the trans-border transfer and hosting of such information. To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, if you are a User accessing the Cliper Service from a jurisdiction with laws or regulations governing personal data collection, use, and disclosure that differ from those of Croatia, please be advised that all aspects of the Cliper Service are governed by the internal laws of Republic of Croatia, regardless of your location.

Cliper complies with the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework as set forth by the US Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal information from European Union member countries. We have certified that it adheres to the Privacy Shield Principles of Notice, Choice, Accountability for Onward Transfer, Security, Data Integrity and Purpose Limitation, Access, and Recourse, Enforcement and Liability.

In compliance with the EU-US Privacy Shield Principles, we commit to resolve complaints about your privacy and our collection or use of your personal information. European Union individuals with inquiries or complaints regarding this privacy policy should first contact Cliper at contact@cliper.co.

The services of EU DPAs are provided at no cost to you.

As further explained in the Privacy Shield Principles, a binding arbitration option will also be made available to you in order to address residual complaints that are not resolved by other means set forth above.

To protect your privacy and security, we may take reasonable steps (such as requesting a unique password) to verify your identity before granting you profile access or making corrections. You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your unique password and account information at all times.

You should be aware that it is not technologically possible to remove each and every record of the information you have provided to us from our system.
