  5. PRIVACY POLICY

    Personal data and other information related to the identity of the user are subject to the policy and privacy system of Cool Tabs that can be consulted here.

  6. USE OF DATA COLLECTED IN APPS

    Cool Tabs (as a service provider) can collect and store different data from users and participants who use its applications. These data are established by the administrator of the application, to which they belong.

    Cool Tabs does not use any of the data that the end user of the application provides when making use of it, both the data provided directly, and the data provided by Facebook when accepting to install the application. This data will be transferred to the promotion manager, who will be responsible for the management and processing thereof. All personal data provided by the user will be saved and stored by the provider during the time of the competition.

    At all times, the data collected by our applications, are specified when installing the application in the Facebook dialogue box. This data may be (depending on the application or action carried out):

    • Basic information: Name and Facebook ID of the user. Public data on Facebook that we save and provide to the promotion manager. The provider makes no use of this data.
    • Email: will be assigned to the manager of the promotion and in no case will be used by the service provider to make any commercial use of it.
    • Likes: only used to check if the user is a fan of the page on which the promotion appears, provided that the promotion administrator imposes this requirement as a condition to participate in it
    • Other additional information: Other additional information established by the administrators of the application.

    The rest of the data, personal or otherwise, provided using any of our applications, is the responsibility of the promotion manager. This person should indicate the use to be made of all data collected in the conditions of service or legal bases established and personalised in each promotion, which must always be accepted together with the specific conditions of our promotions and competitions.

    The services provided by our platform therefore imply the processing and access by Cool Tabs to "Personal Data" that is responsibility of the Customer.

    The Customer will always act as "File Manager" where the "Personal Data" is stored and Cool tabs will act as the "Data Processor".

    The Data Processor will have access to the data in the Files, but under no circumstances will it be a transfer of Personal Data (article 12 of the Organic Law 15/1999, dated 13 December, on Personal Data Protection, ( hereinafter, "LOPD").)

    From 25 May 2018, Cool Tabs complies with all the data protection requirements of the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR).

    Cool Tabs, in charge of the processing of our Customers' data, is committed to complying with the obligations established in the regulations (EU - 2016/679).

    With the acceptance of this agreement, the Data Controller gives permission to Data Processor to manage, process and store the personal data collected in the campaigns executed on the platform by the Data Controller necessary to be able to provide the services provided.

    With this agreement, the Data Controller allows the Data Processor access to the data but does not execute a transfer of personal data to the Data Processor, so the data, its use and processing (within the stated purposes) remain the responsibility of the Data Controller.

    The Data Processor (Cool Tabs) cannot communicate, assign or make use of the data belonging to the Data Controller, except with express authorisation thereof, by means of a letter stating to whom the data must be communicated, what data to communicate, in what form and with what security measures.

    The Data Processor will put different tools at the disposal of the Data Controller in order to manage the storage of the data on behalf of the Data Processor. Among them, it will be possible to manage, edit, export and delete any type of information stored by the Data Processor. The Responsible expressly accepts that the person in charge can store the data for a maximum time, established in annual periods and that they can vary according to contract, but being a minimum of one year and a maximum of three. Likewise, the Data Controller may establish automatic systems for the deletion and anonymisation of the data in the platform.

    At all times, Cool Tabs as the Data Processor, may keep backup copies, properly encrypted and with the appropriate security measures (as established by our risk analysis documents according to the activity of the processing) for possible liability related to the provision of services contracted.

    The Data Processor stores all the information and databases in the Amazon EC2 data centre located in Ireland. In addition, he/she delegates the management and maintenance of the servers to the company Heroku (of the Salesforce group). The Data Controller expressly accepts the use of this data centre and of this provider for the hosting of the data and management of its servers.

    The Data Processor may place at the disposal of the Data Controller a document related to the security measures implemented in our platform to guarantee compliance with the regulations, at a technical and organisational level, which include:

    • Encryption, anonymisation and pseudonymisation of data.
    • Management of technical, organisational and security measures that guarantee processing.
    • Processes to guarantee the integrity, confidentiality and availability of the data.
    • Tools necessary to execute the right to forget the data.

    The Data Processor undertakes to inform the Data Controller of any security breach, unauthorised access to the data or any other vulnerability of which he/she is aware that may affect the Data Controller, without undue delay, provided that it constitutes a risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons. In addition, the competent authority will be notified within 72 hours.
