1. Introduction

This privacy policy document will describe the reasons why personal data is needed, how it will be used, who will be able to access the information and when it will be deleted from our records. It also explains your rights to access your data under data protection laws or seek to have it rectified or deleted. We will at all times comply with the provisions of the European Union General Data Protection Regulations (“GDPR”)
If you choose to use our services, then you agree to the collection and use of information in relation to this policy. The Personal Information that we collect is used mainly for providing and secondarily also for improving the service. We will under no conditions share your information with any third party, except as described in this privacy policy.
Please note that the terms used in this Privacy Policy constitute also the Terms and Conditions for using our APINTECH- WT services.
2. Primary User Data Collection
APINTECH- WT maintains records of users to its WT/ WSN service; while login is required in order to have full access to the WT/ WSN user dashboard portal services it is stressed that registration is not possible via online forms.
The services are always accessible at https://wsn.wirelessthings.biz/v2/SITENAME (site-name – the customer user identifier)
Such a portal can only be set up after a contractual agreement with the user. Login credentials are set by APINTECH- WT by mail; users can then manage their account.
To register a user the following information will be required:
[1] name, [2] address, [3] email
As said, the information is important for your identification and entering the APINTECH- WT portal as a valid user. This information will be retained by us and used as described in this privacy policy. It is stored in our databases (residing with Hetzner, Germany) for the sole reason of allowing your seamless access to the APINTECH- WT Services that you have contracted us to supply you with. This information is not made available to any third party, whatsoever. It is also not automatically deleted from our databases. Should you desire to completely erase it from our databases you can send a mail to info [at] apintech [dot] com or use our website contact form requesting your data to be completely removed from our databases. This request will be executed in one month.
3. User contracts and their impact on user data
In case a user wishes to terminate his contract, the dashboard service and all related personal data will be eliminated from our servers. No specific request is needed. The user will be asked if he wishes to receive this information as a .sql file. In case no response is provided the data will be erased and no backup will be kept.
In case a user wishes to eliminate only his account but not the service he has to email us here info [at] apintech [dot] com. At this moment in time, no other third party interferes with our app and collects data from it. If this changes then the privacy policy will be updated.
4. Secondary User Data Collection
APINTECH- WT collects massive sensor data from the user site. These data do not in principle relate to humans although they may do so indirectly. For example, an occupancy sensor may measure headcount in spaces. Although this is anonymous and non-camera-based information, it can potentially assist in deriving information as to some users' whereabouts.
In principle, all this data is owned by the user. He can request, at any time, to receive them at no cost as a .sql file. Any other format will have to be separately considered and fees may apply. The data will neither be made available to any third party nor automatically erased from our databases as long as there is a contract with the user or his organization. For this to happen, you must explicitly raise the issue by emailing us as above. Upon termination of the contract, the procedure described above [in 3] will apply.
5. User communication
APINTECH- WT may send web notifications to the user browser/ mobile if so required by the particular service. This can be disabled at the mobile level but can also be disabled at from within APINTECH- WT (Push alerts → Block Notifications)
APINTECH- WT in order to best perform its services may send emails only after you have first registered to it. The deletion of all your related data from our server is possible after an explicit request is sent to info [at] apintech [dot] com.
APINTECH- WT website is purely informative, does not collect any data nor will it take any action vis-a-vis a user. Through the website you may contact us, via a contact form; no contact data are persisted in any way. APINTECH- WT does not send SMS messages.
