In dealing with suppliers, customers and other third party (excluding employees), typically we are acting as a data processor. We will inform you if we are to act as data controller.

For personal data to be processed lawfully under the applicable Privacy Law, certain conditions have to be met. These may include, among other things, requirements that the data subject has expressly consented to the processing, or that the processing is necessary for the legitimate interest of the data controller or the party to whom the data is disclosed.

7.1
We will only collect personal data to the extent that it is required for the specific purpose notified to the data subject. Any data that is not necessary for that purpose will not be collected.

ZYPE TV LTD – GDPR Statement for CitNOW Retailers

CitNOW Data Journey Infographic

In providing CitNOW services to Retailers (Our customers) we are acting as a data processor and Our customer is the data controller, both as defined by Privacy Law. In this statement, as data controller Our customer is referred to as “You/Your” and CitNOW, as data processor is referred to as “We/Us/Our”. We have outlined below Our responsibilities as the data processor and Your responsibilities as the data controller in providing CitNOW services to You and Your data subjects (“Consumers”).

PART A – OUR RESPONSIBILITIES

1. General

As the data processor, it is Our responsibility to ensure that We process Your data in a fair and responsible way and in compliance with Privacy Law. This means We are required to have clear policies as to what data We gather, use and store, how and where We store the data and how the data is used.

1.1 Type of Data and Use
The type of data that we gather and process in providing the CitNOW service to You and Your Consumers includes:
– Videos of Your Consumer’s cars, which may show the registration number
– Contact details for Your Consumers, which may include email addresses and telephone numbers
– Videos of members of Your staff
– Videos of Your Consumers

As a point of clarity, the data that we use in the CitNOW service may constitute personal data as defined by Privacy Law, but is not deemed sensitive personal data.

1.2 Data Security
It is Our responsibility to ensure Your data is kept safe and we have a comprehensive IT and Security Policy which details what measures we take to ensure the security of the data.

In summary, all the data we process is held on secure servers. Any data originating in the EEA is stored on servers located in the EEA and is not transferred outside of the EEA without the data controllers prior written consent.

We utilise third party servers to store data and such third parties act as sub-processors of the data. We have selected reputable sub-processors to provide, amongst other things, data storage, quality checking and analytics. They are contractually bound to abide by the principles of Privacy Law and we are satisfied that they have adequate security systems in place to protect Your data. Our sub-processors are also bound to ensure any third parties services they employ are bound by the same conditions with regards to data security as we have agreed with them.

We shall maintain an up to date list detailing the location of all personal data together with details of any third party subcontractor or third parties to whom we have shared any personal data. If You are unhappy with any sub-processor that we do or intend to use, You have the right to object to us using such sub-processor. We will discuss with You appropriate options in such event.

We shall be responsible for the acts and omissions of Our sub-processors as if they were the acts and omissions of us (as data processor).

1.3 Data Transfer
Our sub-processors may not transfer data outside of the EEA without Our permission.

For data from countries located outside of the EEA we utilise servers located in the EEA for data storage, but also may store some data on local servers where appropriate.

If You are a customer located outside the EEA, we require You, to notify us of any local data protection regulations in a jurisdiction outside of the EEA with which we need to comply.

In the event that there are any changes to Our data storage that involves transferring data outside of the EEA We will notify You of this in advance for Your approval as data controller. We will also employ the use of the EU Model Contract Clauses, or similar, where necessary for such data transfer.

1.4 Online Services
We have defined Our Online Services (Our dashboard and reports) in Our factsheet.
We only grant access to Our Online Services to Your employees and representatives that You notify to Us (“Authorised Users”), including the setup of a “manager” role for at least one of Your Authorised Users. Once access to CitNOW is granted to a Manager, the Manager will be responsible for actioning the addition and deletion of any further users requiring access to CitNOW. All Authorised Users and Managers will receive training on the use of the CitNOW dashboard.

Data is also shared with brand owners and vehicle manufacturers via Our Online Services. This includes information regarding Your use of the CitNOW service as well as personal data we may collect as part of the CitNOW service. Brands are required to nominate Authorised Users to access the Online Services. We have appropriate arrangements in place with brand owners and vehicle manufacturers to ensure their compliance with applicable Privacy Laws and to prevent them from processing any personal data which they may see via Our Online Services for any reason other than reporting and analytics.

We may also use Your videos for the purpose of demonstrating the CitNOW service i) within Your dealer group and ii) with the vehicle manufacturer. You agree that we may use such materials for this purpose.

1.5 Storage
CitNOW is not intended for the long-term storage and archiving of Your Content. Our policy in respect of management and deletion of Your Content is as follows:
a) Online Services content will not be accessible by You following termination;
b) Upon termination: (i) subject to payment of the applicable fee and at your request we will provide you with a copy of the Content you have uploaded to the Online Service and/or (ii) Content may be moved to hosted storage;
c) At any point following termination, You may provide us with a written request to retrieve and supply you with a copy of specified Content;
d) Subject to Our compliance with Section 14 of this Data Protection Policy, We reserve the right to charge a reasonable administrative fee for Content retrieval and will seek Your acceptance of any administrative fee prior to undertaking Content retrieval;
e) Whilst CitNOW will consider all requests for Content retrieval, we cannot guarantee successful retrieval of Content following termination.

1.6 Communications to Consumers
CitNOW will not market directly to Consumers unless We receive an express instruction from You for a specific purpose and confirmation from You that necessary consents have been sought. Should a Consumer wish to exercise their right to be forgotten, We will facilitate such request.

PART B – YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES UNDER GDPR

2. General

The type of data that we gather and process in providing the CitNOW service to You and Your Consumers includes:

2.1 Consent
You are responsible for informing Your Consumers of the type of and nature of the personal data that You gather from them and for gaining their consent as to how this is used, stored and accessed within Your organisation. This includes the use of personal data in the CitNOW Service as part of the overall communication strategy and the general operational running of Your business. Examples of the personal data gathered and used as part of the CitNOW service would be:
a) When a video is sent from the service department as part of a service: In this scenario personal data is required in order to process their car for a service.
b) When a video is sent from the sales department as a result of an enquiry: In this scenario, personal data is gathered in order to respond to the customer with details of a vehicle they are interested in purchasing.
Examples of personal data used in these circumstances are:
– telephone number
– email address
– home address
– car registration

Consumers should be made aware that the specific examples above are necessary for the day to day operational running of Your business and that their personal data is used for this purpose. It is Your responsibility to ensure that you have a clear policy for data use and data retention once You have used personal data for its original purpose. You should be aware that unsolicited videos – for example, sending a Consumer a video to promote a new car offer when they have not specifically asked for it – would count as marketing under GDPR regulations and in this scenario, the Consumer should have given their express consent to such communication.

You are also responsible for advising Your staff that the use of their personal data in the CitNOW service is part of the general operational running of Your business and for gaining their consent to such use in the appropriate employment agreements with them.

2.2 Security
You are responsible for controlling access to any personal data collected by the CitNOW services and for ensuring each individual working within Your organisation and having access to personal information is aware of, and complies with, their obligations under the applicable Privacy Law and this policy. User names and passwords must not be shared.

2.3 Warranty
You acknowledge the nature of the service we deliver and You warrant that You have sought the necessary consents set out in section 2.1 above and give us permission and authority to gather, store and share Your data in line with this statement.
