Your privacy is important to us, and we therefore only process personal data if this is done in a legal and transparent manner. In this privacy & cookie statement, we will explain to you who we are, how we process your personal data, with whom we share it and what rights you have when it comes to the processing of your personal data.

You are under no statutory or contractual obligation to provide your personal data to us. However, we may not be able to provide our services to you if you refuse to provide your personal data to us.

This policy covers the Pickler application and website (www.pickler.io and www.app.pickler.io).

Who is responsible for the processing of my data?
Pickler is responsible for the processing of your personal data. Our contact details are the following:

Sustainability Impact Creators B.V.
Dr. Schaepmanstraat 21, 1814RC Alkmaar (the Netherlands)
Chamber of Commerce No. 87613298

If you have any questions about this privacy statement or the way we handle your personal data, you can contact us:

What personal information does Pickler use and for what purpose?
For you to be able to schedule a demo, register an account and use our services, we collect data from you, such as:

· Full name

· Company name

· Username

· Email

· Password

· Payment and billing information

For safety and security reasons, we require you to verify your account. Your email is requested as part of the account verification process. We have a legitimate interest in doing so, because we want to keep the Pickler application a safe and secure space and we want to ensure that accounts are not set up fraudulently. Please note that when you set up your account, you are required to provide this information. We use Stripe as our payment processor to securely process and manage payments. By making a payment through our website, you agree that we share your payment and billing details with Stripe. You can find more information about Stripe’s privacy practice at Stripe Privacy Center. We collect this data in order to provide our services (the legal basis for the processing is contractual necessity).

If you contact us (by sending an email, via the chat widget, through our web-contact form, or in any other way), we may receive your name, email, phone number and any personal data included in the message. We process this data in order to respond to your question or request. Are you contacting us for the purpose of using our services? Then this data is processed on the legal basis of the conclusion and execution of agreements. In all other cases, your data is collected on the legal basis of your consent. With our chat widget, you can ask your question online and get a direct answer. We use Intercom to display the chat widget on our website. We share your username, email, and company name, and Intercom processes browser metrics such as location, operating system, browser vendor- and version.

You can sign up to receive our newsletter. We will use your email address to send you our newsletter. We will only send you our newsletter if you have given us permission to add your name and email address to our list of subscribers. We have added an unsubscribe link at the very end of every newsletter. When the subscription is finished, we will store your information in a list so that we don’t accidentally send you more emails. We may process personal data, like your contact details, to perform our other (online) marketing activities, such as providing you with information about similar products or services. We will then process your personal data on the basis of your consent or, under certain circumstances, our legitimate interest to conduct direct marketing activities.

When you visit this website, cookies (including similar techniques such as pixels) are set by us or a third party. We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly. Cookies also help us to understand how our website is being used. We could have a legitimate interest in analyzing and improving the website, but we also process the information we obtain through cookies, based on your consent. Please read the section “Cookies” of this statement, where we explain which cookies we use, why we do this and when they expire.

On this website and through our social media channels, we like to share experiences of satisfied customers. With your consent, we may process your full name, review and picture. Please be aware that the review is public for everyone. We will show the review until we decide to remove it, or you have indicated that you wish to withdraw your consent.

Who provides the information?
In most cases, you provide us directly with your information. However, we may receive information about you from others, for example when your employer adds you as a team member.

Third party websites
This website contains links to third party websites. You should know that this privacy and cookie statement does not apply to third party websites and links. We encourage you to read the privacy statements of these third parties. We cannot guarantee that these third parties will handle your data in a secure manner.

How long do you store my information?
We store your personal data for as long as necessary to properly execute and maintain our services and agreements. After that, your personal data will be deleted.

Of course, we can keep personal data longer if we are legally obliged to do so and taking into account any limitation periods. We are, for example, bound by the Dutch fiscal retention obligation of 7 years. If we decide to close your account due to misconduct, we may keep your information for a period of one year after closure, due to queries and / or in case of a legal claim. In any case, we may keep (some of) your personal information for (evidence due to) legal claims.

Is my information shared with third parties?
We share your information when we are required to do so by legal authorities, with your consent, when it is necessary to offer our services, to our processors, or when we have a legitimate interest in doing so.

We have taken the necessary technical and organizational measures to ensure that your data is processed correctly. We have signed data processing agreements with (sub) processors. If possible, we use processors established within the EEA. You should be aware of the fact that your data may be transferred and otherwise processed to a location outside of the EEA. We will only transfer your data to third parties outside of the EEA, if there is an adequate level of protection for the processing of your personal data. These transfers are governed by the so-called “standard contractual clauses”.

We may share your personal data with mail servers, accountant and accounting software, booking software to schedule your demo, chat widget, cookie providers, Streak, LinkedIn salesmanager, payment providers and other it-suppliers and service providers (such as web hosting and our developers’ team).

Is my information safe?
We cannot guarantee that the way you provide us with your data online is 100% safe, due to the characteristics of the internet. We use safety measures to prevent unauthorized access of your personal data such as secured servers that meet international security standards and TLS/SSL encryption. These measures are evaluated on a regular basis. You can also take some measures to prevent unauthorized access to your data. Choose a strong password and change it now and then. Don’t give anyone else access to your account. If you become aware of unauthorized access to your account, contact us immediately.
