Privacy Policy

Who do we share your data with?

We use certain partners to help us provide, improve, promote, and protect our Service. For example, we use suppliers to manage support, to analyze Website traffic and for data storage on our behalf. In order for our partners to perform their services, it is sometimes necessary for us to share your data with them. These suppliers may only use your personal data in accordance with our instructions and we only share such data that is required to perform the service in question. We do not sell any personal data to partners or any other third parties.

We may also share personal data with authorities or other third parties when required by law or regulations or when it is necessary in order to protect or defend our legitimate rights and interests, or those of our users, employees, directors or shareholders, and/or to ensure the safety and security of the Service.

If iotcomms.io would be subject to a merger or sale in the future, your personal data will be transferred to the merged or buying entity. In such a case, your personal data will continue to be processed in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

International transfers of personal data

We transfer personal data to service providers located outside of the European Economic Area (EEA). When we transfer or enable our partners to transfer or store your personal data in a country outside of the EEA, we will take the adequate technical and organizational security measures to ensure that your data is processed with a corresponding level of security as within the EEA. Such actions may include signing EU Model Clauses together with additional security measures, such as encryption procedures, in case the recipient’s country of establishment is not recognized as providing an adequate level of protection for personal data.

For how long do we keep your data?

We will store your personal data for as long as we deem it necessary for the purposes we collected the data for and to comply with applicable laws (including those regarding document retention), resolve disputes with any parties and otherwise as necessary to allow us to conduct our business. Please note, that we are legally required to retain certain information after fulfilling the main objective for which we collected the information. For example, we are required by law to store invoicing information for a certain period of time for accounting purposes.
