Given the broad potential use of the Services, the scope of personal data may vary on an individual basis, and it is not possible to categorize those in advance. These data sets are usually customer reviews, social media comments, online news, survey answers collected with another survey platform. The Client, however, undertakes to minimize the scope of personal data used to an extent that is absolutely necessary for the give approved purpose.
  • Approved Purposes: Personal Data is being processed only for the following purposes: use of the Services, analyse texts, create, and manage surveys.
  • GTC is the General Terms and Conditions of the Services.
  • Approved Sub-processors to be used for processing of Personal Data are the following companies: Microsoft Azure Cloud (cloud processing and storage provider) https://azure.microsoft.com/.
  • Users are persons who are having access to the platform. The platform’s Users belong to clients, which are legal entities and – while they are also data subjects to the data controlling activity of the Neticle– they are responsible for the third-party data they upload to the platform as data controllers.
  • Respondents are persons who are sending answers to the Client’s surveys that are shared via the platform. These respondents are usually customers of the Clients, potential customers, or employees of the Client.
  • Administrators are employees of the Neticle. They are developers, account managers or analysts who might help the Users in steps, questions, or report creation.

16.3 Description of the data processing activity of the Neticle

 

16.3.1 Uploading data to the platform:

Users can upload data sets to process and analyse them with the platform. Uploaded data is analysed, text analysed and summarized by the platform. The results can be accessed via the platform dashboard or exported into different file formats. The Client’s Users have access to the uploaded data set. When data is uploaded to the platform it reaches the platform via encrypted HTTPS protocol. The platform is hosted in Microsoft Azure Cloud. The storage of the data is encrypted as well and they are physically located in the European Union, mainly in the Netherlands. Neticle is not sharing the uploaded data sets or analysis results with 3rd parties nor with other Clients. Upon client request the Administrators can have access to the data set to help in troubleshooting or platform usage. Users can create surveys with the platform and share them with specific respondents or share the survey link publicly.

 

16.3.2 Collecting survey data:

The Users may collect IP address, browser type, device, operation system data from the Respondents using the platform. This data collection can be switched on by the User before sharing the survey. The platform saves the Respondent answers only after fully finishing and submitting a survey by default. These settings can be changed by the User, so answers will be saved real-time. In this case the Respondents receive a notification automatically when they open the survey link. The collected survey answers and data is stored in a secure encrypted format and is not shared with 3rd parties or other Clients. Users can delete it permanently. If the Client collects personal or sensitive information from the respondents, it is the client’s responsibility to notify the respondents about their privacy and data management goals.

With the platform Clients are able to integrate micro-surveys into mobile applications or web applications. These micro-surveys usually ask a few non-personal questions from the users of the application. For example: please rate this application or share your experience with your own words.

The micro-surveys may collect the respondents’ user id, their device type, and the triggering event. This data collection can be switched on by the User before activating the micro-survey. It is the Client’s responsibility to notify the respondents about the goals and details of the data collection. The collected survey answers and data is stored in a secure encrypted format and is not shared with 3rd parties or other Clients. Users can delete it permanently.

 

16.3.4 Integrations

Clients can also integrate the platform with their in-house IT solutions and databases.

16.3.5 Showing analysis results on dashboard

Users can see the result of the data processing and analysing via web-based dashboard from their browsers. They can see charts and summarizations and load the original data from which these values calculated. 3rd parties and other Clients’ Users do not have access to this dashboard.

Only authenticated Users who have the necessary access rights can export the results via different file formats.

In special cases Administrators of the platform might need to access personal data for testing or troubleshooting purposes. They do not have the right to copy or share personal information.
