Signage Data is data that users enter and upload into our Online Monitors AnyWhere service to use as signage content. This data can only be managed and modified over an HTTPS connection that requires a valid username/password combination to establish. This data is stored on Amazon AWS data servers and is backed up daily, to two different geographical locations on alternate days. The Signage Data is transferred for playback to the players using an HTTP connection since it is considered to be for public consumption when shown on screens. It is possible to protect Signage Data that is transferred to players for playback when using the Pro subscription.

We require you to sign up for an account (either a trial or paid) to use our Online Monitors AnyWhere service. When you do, we’ll ask for personal information, like your name, company name and email address. For a paid subscription additional information such as telephone number or credit card.

We retain the right to hold and use Service Data to provide our services, report usage and to provide our payment processors with the information they need to process payments.

 

Diagnostic data that we get from your use of our Online Monitors AnyWhere

 

We collect information about the services that you use and how you use them. This information includes:

  • Device information
    We collect device-specific information (such as operating system version and possibly a unique device identifier). Monitors AnyWhere does not associate this information with any third party services or data. This information may be used to uniquely identify a player in order to show the correct content, to help us support you when you report a problem and to check that the number of concurrently active players does not exceed the number of licensed devices.
  • Log information
    When you use our services or view content provided by Monitors AnyWhere, we automatically collect and store certain information in server logs. This includes:

     

    • details of how you used our service to play back your content.
    • Internet protocol address.
    • device event information such as crashes, system activity, hardware settings, browser type, browser language, the date and time of your request and referral URL.
    • cookies that may uniquely identify your browser or your account. Log information is typically kept for a few weeks to enable “post mortem” analyses of problems and to analyse short-term trends.
  • Location information
    When you use Monitors AnyWhere, we may collect and process information about your location. This is only an estimation of your location that is made by from your IP address. This location can be quite inaccurate. The location is used to infer the time zone you are using. This time zone information can easily be overruled by setting the time zone for your company or the player.
  • Unique application numbers
    Certain devices include a unique device/application number when they communicate with our services. This number and information about your installation (for example, the operating system type and application version number) may be sent to Google when you install or uninstall our Android or ChromeOS app or when that service periodically contacts our servers, such as for automatic updates.

Our Privacy Policy does not cover the information practices of other companies and organisations who advertise our services, and who may use cookies and other technologies to serve and offer relevant ads.

 

 

GDPR – Data Portability

 

We want happy customers, not trapped ones. We will not lock you out of your own data. You may export your Online Monitors AnyWhere data at any time you wish during the life of your account. If you discontinue payment, your account will enter a frozen (read-only) state for a period not less than two months during which you may still retrieve and export your data after you have contacted us via email.

Export is limited to a part of your Signage Data (images, videos).

 

 

GDPR – Your Right to Knowing to What We Know

 

You have the right to know what we know about you and to see how that data is handled. All Signage and Service data that we have about an account and its users is accessible to the account owner via her/his dashboard. The only data that is not available is the detailed status of the payment process. Any relevant exceptions to those processes will be communicated to you as soon as possible since they mean we did not receive your subscription fee.

You can send requests for information to our support department that we will gladly fullfill, however, to protect customer privacy, such requests must be carefully authenticated beyond demonstrating control of the customer’s email address.

 

 
GDPR – Your Right to Have Your Data Erased
 

As we are merely custodians of your data, account owners have the right to instruct us to remove data permanently from our systems. To ensure that no one’s data is deleted without their consent, you must first end your subscription. After the subscription has been ended, the account owner may contact us and ask for the data to be expunged. Once the request is authenticated, the data will be removed from our active systems within 72 hours.

Disaster recovery and data availability requirements mean that Online Monitors AnyWhere has a legitimate interest in maintaining secure and immutable backups. Erasure requests will leave those backups untouched, and we will only remove data from backups if legally compelled to.

 

 
Changes to our Privacy Policy
 

Our Privacy Policy may change from time to time. We will not reduce your rights under this Privacy Policy without your explicit consent. We will post any privacy policy changes on this page and, if the changes are significant, we will provide a more prominent notice (including, for certain services, email notification of privacy policy changes). We will also keep prior versions of this Privacy Policy in an archive for your review.
