Via our site at https://recommend.pro (our site), Recommend provides a service which allows you to purchase retail personalization platform software for your ecommerce site (the Services).

This policy (together with our Services terms (if you use our Services) and our site) sets out the basis on which any personal data (meaning information about an individual from which that individual can be personally identified) we collect from you, or that you or others provide to us, will be processed by us. This includes personal data we use in connection with:

  • the provision of the Services;

  • our site; and

  • you contacting us via the site or by telephone.

For the purpose of data protection laws, the data controller is Recommend OÜ.

  1. Basis for processing personal data – site use and requesting / receiving services from Recommend

    1. Paragraphs 1.2 – 1.7 below explain how and why we process your personal data, as well as the legal basis on which we carry out this processing.

    2. To enter into and perform contracts with you: Where you ask us to provide or express an interest in receiving Services from us via the site (or other contact with us), we will process your personal data to process your order and deliver those Services to you.

      Our use of your personal data in this way includes sharing your personal data with subcontractors, such as payment processors, as well as credit reference agencies for the purposes of assessing fraud, credit and/or security risks. We need to process your personal data in this way to enter into and perform the contract for the supply of the Services. If you do not wish to provide us with your personal data in this way, you will be unable to purchase or use Services from our site.

    3. To make our site better: We will also process your personal data in order to provide you with a more effective user experience (such as by displaying services we believe you will be interested in, based on your browsing habits). This processing means that your experience of our site will be more tailored to you, and that the content you see on our site may differ from someone accessing the same site with a different purchase history or browsing habits. We also use various cookies to help us improve our site (more details are set out in section 5), but we will not share your personal data with third party analytics and search engine providers that assist us in the improvement and optimisation of our site.

      We will also process your personal data for the purposes of making our site more secure, and to administer our site and for internal operations, including troubleshooting, data analysis, testing, research, statistical and survey purposes.

      The legal basis on which we process personal data in these circumstances is our legitimate interest to provide you with the best customer experience we can, and to ensure that our site is kept secure.

      The use of non-essential cookies is subject to your consent. You can also prevent us from using your personal data in this way by using the ‘do not track’ functionality in your internet browser. If you enable such do not track functionality, our site may be less tailored to your needs and preferences.

    4. To provide customer services to you: We may also process your personal data in order to provide various supporting customer services to you (such as where you contact us with a question in connection with our services or the Services). The legal basis on which we process your personal data in these circumstances is your consent. If you do not provide us with the personal data we request from you for customer services purposes, we may not be able to fully answer your queries.

    5. For marketing purposes: Where you have opted in via our site to receive marketing communications from us, we will process your personal data to provide you with marketing communications in line with the preferences you have provided.

      In this case, the legal basis on which we process your personal data is your consent. You are not under any obligation to provide us with your personal data for marketing purposes, and you can withdraw your consent to your personal data being processed in this way at any time by contacting us at info@recommend.pro or, where relevant, by following the unsubscribe link in any marketing communication you receive from us.

    6. If our business is sold: We will transfer your personal data to a third party:

      1. in the event that we sell or buy any business or assets, in which case we may disclose your personal data to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets (at all times in accordance with data protection legislation); or

      2. if Recommend is, or substantially all of our assets are, acquired by a third party, in which case personal data held by Recommend about its customers will be one of the assets transferred to the purchaser.

      In each case, the legal basis on which we process your data in these circumstances is our legitimate interest to ensure our business can be continued by a purchaser. If you object to our use of your personal data in this way, the relevant seller or buyer of our business may not be able to provide services to you.

    7. In certain circumstances we may also need to share your personal data if we are under a duty to disclose or share personal data in order to comply with a legal obligation.

  2. Basis for processing personal data – supplying the Services

    1. To provide the Services to you: We may also process your customers’ personal data, where required to do so in order to provide the Services to you (such as where our obligations under the Services require us to analyse your customers’ activity on your ecommerce platform). The legal basis on which we process your customers’ personal data in these circumstances is pursuant to our legitimate interest in complying with our obligations under the contract for Services between you and us. Our Service terms will be provided to you separately should you purchase and / or otherwise use our Services. For the avoidance of doubt, these Service terms require that you shall ensure that you are entitled to transfer the relevant customer personal data to us so that we may lawfully use, process and transfer the customer personal in accordance with our obligations under the Services contract.

    2. If you do not provide us with your customer personal data, as required, for the purpose of our providing the Services to you, we may not be able to fully and effectively provide the Services.

    3. If our business is sold:

      1. In the event that we sell or buy any business or assets, the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets may be granted the rights afforded to us under the Services contract to process your customers’ personal data (at all times in accordance with data protection legislation); and

      2. if Recommend is, or substantially all of our assets are, acquired by a third party, access rights to your customers’ personal data processed by Recommend pursuant to the Services contract will be one of the assets transferred to the purchaser,

      in each case, the legal basis on which we process your customers’ data in these circumstances is our legitimate interest to ensure our business can be continued by a purchaser. If you or your customers object to our use of your customers’ personal data in this way, the relevant seller or buyer of our business may not be able to provide the Services to you.
