Our main Software is distributed under the name Euretos AI Platform (abbreviated as EAIP). Data processed by EIAP may include Personal Data from time to time.
EU data protection law makes a distinction between organizations that process Personal Data for their own purposes (known as “Data Controllers”) and organizations that process Personal Data on behalf of other organizations (known as “Data Processors”). Euretos may act as either a Data Controller or a Data Processor in respect of your Personal Data, depending on the circumstances.
Generally speaking, Euretos is the Data Controller of Personal Data which either (a) you provide to us; (b) is automatically collected when you register to, access or use our Services; or (c) our Customers or third party partners provide to us as part of databases which are integrated in our EIAP search platform.
This Privacy Policy applies to our processing of Personal Data as a Data Controller only. It does not apply to our processing of Personal Data when we act as a Data Processor on behalf of a third party, nor to the practices of companies that we do not own or control, or to individuals that we do not employ or manage.
We do not knowingly collect or solicit Personal Data from anyone under the age of 16 or knowingly allow such persons to register for the Services.
Euretos collects different types of information, which we have classified below based on where we source that information. For each type of information we provide you with an overview of (i) what Personal Data is processed by Euretos (‘What’); the purposes of such processing (‘Why’); and (iii) the lawfulness of such processing (‘Legal Ground’):
3.1. Information You Provide to Us.
We receive and store any information you knowingly and voluntarily provide to us. For example, we collect Personal Data such as when you contact us with inquiries, when you register for the Services or when you access or use these Services. The following information is collected:
3.1.1. Registering to our Websites
What: Your full name, e-mail address and password (encrypted).
Why: We use this information to allow our Users to set-up a user account and manage their login to our Services.
Legal ground: We use this information in order to execute the agreement you have with Euretos.
3.1.2. Entering into a Customer agreement:
What: your full name, e-mail address, title or function, telephone number and billing details (as the case may be).
Why: We use that information for our customer services, contract management, financial management and accountancy (invoicing and payment processing, debt collection). We may also contact you, by email or other means; for example, we may communicate with you about new features or your use of our Services.
Legal ground: We use that information in order to execute the relevant agreement.
When contacting us (through the Websites (contact forms), at conferences, trade fairs, roadshows, meetings etc.):
3.1.3. Contacting us:
What: your full name, e-mail address, title or function, telephone number.
Why: We use that information to invite you to accept commercial information relating to Euretos (through an “opt-in” mechanism), or to contact Customers, Users and Visitors in order to fulfill requests for the Services.
Legal ground: We use that information based on our legitimate interest or your consent (as the case may be).
3.1.4. Using our Services:
What: your e-mail address and password (encrypted); other Customer Data which may or may not contain Personal Data (such as search queries)
Why: We use that information to enable you to use our Services.
Legal ground: We use that information in order to execute the contract you have with Euretos (if you were the contracting party) or based on our legitimate interest (if your organization entered into that agreement with us). This may include Euretos sending you notifications on new relevant Customer Data (if you signed-up for that service).
3.2. Information Collected Automatically.
What: Whenever you interact with the Websites or use our Services, we automatically receive and record information on our server logs from your browser (“Log Data”). Log Data may include information such as your computer’s IP address, device information, browser type, “cookie” information, search queries (‘query logs’) and access time and dates (‘time logs’).
Why: We use this information to monitor and analyze your use of the Website and the Services and for the Website’s technical administration, to increase our Website’s functionality and user-friendliness, and to better tailor it to our visitors’ needs.
Legal ground: Our usage of this information is based on the execution of your agreement with Euretos (if you were the contracting party) or on our legitimate interest (if your organization entered into that agreement with us).
3.3. Information provided by Customers.
3.3.1. Contact details
What: our Customers may provide us with Personal Data relating to their employees, consultants or other service suppliers (such as contact persons, business consultants, financial advisors, lawyers etc.). These Personal Data may include such persons’ names, e-mail addresses, telephone numbers, usernames (on Skype, Telegram, Trello, etc.) and functions or titles within our Customer’s organization.
Why: we use that information for our customers and contract management and financial management and accountancy (invoicing and payment processing, debt collection). We may also contact you, by email or other means; for example, we may communicate with you about new features or your use of our Services.
Legal ground: we use that information based on our legitimate interest (as your organization entered into that agreement with us).
3.3.2. Customer Data
What: our Service may enable access to our Customer’s own proprietary databases or content which are part of (or constitute) the Customer Data.
Why: Personal Data which is part of Customer Data may be processed by Euretos in view of providing the Services to Customers and Users.
Legal ground:
The owner of the relevant data source (which in respect of Customer Data shall be the Customer) is responsible for providing notice to its customers or third persons concerning the purpose for which they collect Personal Data and how this Personal Data is processed as part of the relevant database.
Euretos, just like any other search engine, has no direct relationship with the individuals whose Personal Data is being processed as part of the Service. The relevant Personal Data has already been processed by the owner of the relevant database, and Euretos only applies certain search software on the data to ensure that the data can be more easily retrieved by the User.
In view of the above, Euretos relies on its legitimate interest to process Personal Data that are contained in, or form part of, Customer Data in view of providing the Services to the Customer owning the data.
3.4. Information collected by third parties (Third Party Data)
What: When a Customer, User or Visitor purchases, uses or subscribes to our Services, Euretos may enable access to third party websites, services or content, or may collect Third Party Data that may include Personal Data in order to provide the Services, which may include:
Data from publicly-available sources such as open government databases or other data in the public domain;
Data from research institutions, organizations, data brokers or other third parties from which we obtain access to their data for our Customers, Users or Visitors;
Why: Personal Data which is part of Third Party Data may be processed by Euretos in view of providing the Services to Customers, Users and Visitors.
Legal ground:
The owner of the relevant data source (which in respect of Third Party Data shall be the third party owner of the relevant data) is responsible for providing notice to its customers or third persons concerning the purpose for which they collect Personal Data and how this Personal Data is processed as part of the relevant database. Euretos, just like any other search engine, has no direct relationship with the individuals whose Personal Data is being processed as part of the Service. The relevant Personal Data has already been processed and made public by the owner of the relevant database, and Euretos only applies certain search software on the data to ensure that the data can be more easily retrieved by the User or Visitor. In view of the above, Euretos relies on its legitimate interest to process Personal Data that are contained in, or form part of, publicly available Customer Data in view of providing the Services to its Customers, Users and/or Visitors.
If you provide Personal Data to the Services as set out above, you acknowledge and agree that such Personal Data may be transferred from your current location to the offices and servers of Euretos.
The Services are performed using equipment or facilities located in the European Union or the US. The Euretos’s US service providers are either Privacy Shield compliant or have executed Standard Contractual Clauses (as approved by the European Commission) that provide legal grounds for assuring that, when processed in the United States, the personal data of EU citizens that are processed by Euretos customers when using the Euretos Service will receive from Euretos and its service providers located outside the EU an adequate level of protection within the meaning of Article 46 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (General Data Protection Regulation).
