In accordance with Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council (EU) 2016/679 (“GDPR“), this Personal Data Processing Policy provides all relevant information on the processing of personal data pertaining to you, the data subject, in connection with the Locus GIS application and related services, including the web platform (jointly referred to as “Application“). This Personal Data Processing Policy does not apply to the Locus GIS Helpdesk platforms, offered as separate services.

Who is responsible for processing your personal data?

The controller of personal data is Asamm Software, s.r.o., Business ID: 24225321, a company with a registered office at Krhanická 719/25, 142 00 Prague 4 – Kamýk, Czech Republic (“Controller” or “We“).

For what purposes do we process your personal data?

The purpose of processing your personal data is to allow you to use the Application and related services, to carry out the maintenance and improvement of the functions of the Application, and to communicate with you, given that you are the Controller’s customer. 

Your personal data are necessary for creating your user account through which you will be able to use certain functions of the Application. 

Profiling takes place only in the framework of the use of the Locus Store function (improvement of commercial offers based on your Locus Store purchase history).

What personal data do we process?

When you use the Application, we collect and process some or all of the following data, which you provide during registration, which are generated while you use the Application, or which you enter into the Application.

The mandatory data needed for the registration of your account in the Application include a name or nickname, and e-mail address. The same applies to logging into the Application through third-party services and social networks, such as Google or Facebook.

Since the Application has a nature of map and navigation software, it uses location data from your mobile device to determine your position.

If you use the Application’s relevant functions, we collect data on your history of purchases made via the Application, ways in which you use the Application, location data, and search history.

If you use the relevant functions, you can also upload multimedia content into the Application, such as your photographs in specific locations.

The Application uses Firebase Analytics, analytical software provided by Google that analyses certain data on devices and ways in which the Application is used by the user. Such data are used exclusively for analytical purposes.

The app collects location data for polygon/line recording and guidance on a target or along a line, even when the app is running in the background.

To use certain functions, such as functions related to the Cloud storage service, you will be asked to log into third-party services. Login takes place directly within the third-party system, in which case we process through the Application only the verification identifier obtained from the login process or your user name and profile photograph from a given third-party service for the purpose of displaying them in the Application.

What is the legal basis for processing your personal data?

Processing some of your personal data is necessary for the performance of the license agreement you have entered into with Us (“License Agreement“), particularly for allowing your use of the Application’s applicable functions. Such processing is compliant with Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.

Some of your personal data pertaining to analytical outputs are further processed in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, based on the Controller’s legitimate interest in improving and maintaining the Application or, where applicable, for protecting property rights after the performance of the Licensing Agreement and for monetizing the Application through advertising.

Based on the Controller’s aforestated legitimate interest, the Controller will occasionally send you a newsletter to inform you about news concerning the Application.

How long do we keep personal data?

Data the processing of which is required for the purposes performing the License Agreement are processed for no longer than the term of the License Agreement, unless otherwise specified below. Basic identification data are processed three years after the termination of the License Agreement, a period that coincides with the limitation period pertaining to property rights arising from the License Agreement. 

You can change your optional data at any time, for example by deleting an uploaded photograph from the Application. In such a case, the Controller will terminate the processing of such data no later than the time at which regular backup data are deleted.

Any and all personal data processed for analytical purposes are processed only until the compilation of statistical data; afterward, data are automatically deleted. The Controller subsequently analyzes only anonymized summary data.

Cookies are kept for a period of 30 days after being stored on your device.

Other data that are not listed above are processed no longer than the time at which your user account will be deleted.

To whom do we provide your personal data?

Where the Controller transmits your personal data to third parties, the Controller does so for the purpose of fulfilling one of the purposes listed above. Typically, personal data are provided to personal data processors or to other controllers. In the further processing of your personal data, the Controller uses third-party services inside and outside the European Union, such as Host Europe GmbH, DigitalOcean Inc., Google Inc., and Google Ireland Limited, that is entities providing services necessary for the operation of the Application, server hosting, and, where applicable, analytical services. Necessary personal data are provided to the foregoing entities exclusively for the foregoing purpose.

After logging into your user account in the Application and on the Controller’s website at http://www.locusgis.com (“Website“), the Controller uses Firebase Authentication services provided by Google Ireland Limited. These services rely on a unique identifier (ID token) for your identification across a variety of the Controller’s and third-party services. The ID token contains your basic identification data, particularly first name, last name, e-mail address, IP address, and, where applicable, profile photograph. For this purpose, we store your IP address for several weeks after login and the other data listed above until the time at which your user account used in the Application is fully closed. Subsequently, your data are stored for 180 days in the framework of the procedures for backing up data on our servers.

In case you activate the Application’s incident reporting function, your location data and, if applicable, biometric data are transmitted to the contact persons you specify in the Application.

Moreover, your personal data are also transmitted based on your consent and instruction you give us by using the applicable function that allows sharing of selected data with third parties. Explicit information to the foregoing effect is provided to you through the Application. The Controller bears no liability for any processing carried out by the recipient of such data selected by you, owing to the absence of a decision on appropriate protection and adequate guarantees within the meaning of the GDPR, such transmission entails risk and may not provide sufficient protection for your personal data. If you choose to export your personal data to a recipient from a third country outside the European Economic Area, you will be asked for express consent prior to such transmission.
