The company under the name “AFOI KALOFORIDI O.E.”, with its registered seat in Athens, 67 Chr. Smyrnis Street, P.C. 151 21, VAT No. 999267630, General Commercial Registry (G.E.MI.) No. 069222103000 and email: [email protected] (the “Company”), which operates the TagPulse service, maintains a strict policy for the protection of the personal data of the visitors of the website https://tagpulse.ai/ (the “Website”) and of the users of the TagPulse application for mobile devices (the “Mobile Application”).

By means of this notice we provide you with further information on the type of cookies and related technologies used on our Website and within the Mobile Application, and on the manner of their use. We point out that this notice operates in a manner supplementary to the TagPulse Personal Data Processing Policy, to which we refer for any matter not specifically regulated here.

The storing of information, or the gaining of access to information already stored, in your terminal equipment is carried out in accordance with Article 4(5) of Law 3471/2006, Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (the “GDPR”) and Guideline No. 1/2020 of the Hellenic Data Protection Authority.

This policy may be unilaterally amended at any time. Any amendment shall take effect from the moment it is announced on this particular webpage. It is recommended that you check this page from time to time in order to ensure that you are aware of any changes.

Cookies are short pieces of software code which are sent, when you visit a website, by our Company’s web server for storage in your terminal equipment, their basic function being to communicate to us data from your browser which will allow us to make our website more functional and more appealing to our users.

Depending on their duration, cookies are either “session cookies” or “persistent cookies”. “Session cookies” are automatically deleted when you close your browser, whereas “persistent cookies” remain stored in your terminal equipment until the expiry of their predetermined period of validity.

Depending on who places them, cookies are distinguished into “first party” cookies, which are placed by the Website itself, and “third party” cookies, which are placed by third-party service providers whose content is embedded in the Website.

Beyond cookies in the strict sense, an equivalent function is performed by other technologies for storing information in your terminal equipment, such as the browser’s local storage (local storage / session storage), digital markers (pixels, tags) and, on mobile devices, the identifiers stored by the application (tokens). These technologies are subject to the same rules as cookies and are covered by this policy.

Yes, we make use of certain cookies with the principal aim of making our Website functional and secure, remembering your choices, understanding on a statistical basis how it is used and measuring the effectiveness of our advertisements.

In addition to our own cookies, we also use third-party cookies, as described in this policy. Through third-party cookies, data relating to your browsing behaviour and your device may be collected, which is used for statistical purposes and for measuring our advertising activities.

We clarify that we do not use cookies for profiling with a view to displaying personalised advertisements to you within or outside the Website, and we do not transmit cookie data to advertising networks for targeting purposes. Our Company does not engage in any act of sale or trading of data collected in this manner.

Finally, it is noted that the TagPulse application for the Windows operating system uses neither cookies nor equivalent tracking technologies; its communication with our servers takes place through encrypted API calls with authentication tokens.

Below we describe the types of cookies we use and their purposes:

For further information regarding the specific cookies we use on each occasion, their type and title, the purpose they serve and, finally, the period for which they remain installed on your device, we set out the following tables:

(a) Functionality Cookies (strictly necessary)

The above are strictly necessary for the operation and security of the Website and for the provision of the services you request and, accordingly, they do not require your consent, pursuant to Article 4(5), second sentence, of Law 3471/2006. Specifically as regards the reCAPTCHA service, its use is based on our legitimate interest in network and information security (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, Recital 49).

(b) Preference Cookies

(c) Statistical Analysis / Performance Cookies

(d) Marketing Cookies / Advertising Cookies

The services in categories (b), (c) and (d) are not loaded and do not place any cookie prior to your express consent.

As regards the processing of your personal data by third-party providers’ cookies, you may obtain further information from those providers’ personal data processing policies, as in force from time to time. Some of those providers are established outside the European Economic Area; for the relevant transfers and the safeguards applied (standard contractual clauses or an adequacy decision) we refer to the relevant chapter of the Personal Data Processing Policy.

The Mobile Application does not use cookies, as it does not operate through a browser. It does, however, use equivalent technologies for storing information in your terminal equipment, which are described in the following table:

The Mobile Application does not incorporate advertising identifiers (Advertising ID / IDFA), does not display advertisements and does not use tools for tracking your behaviour for advertising purposes. Nor does it obtain access to the contacts, calendar, files, camera, microphone or GPS location of your device.

The storing of the above identifiers which are strictly necessary for the provision of the service you have requested does not require consent, pursuant to Article 4(5) of Law 3471/2006. Push notifications are sent only following the permission you grant through your device’s operating system and may be disabled at any time.

You may control the above technologies from your device’s settings, as follows:

Notifications: Device Settings > Apps > TagPulse > Notifications (Android) or Settings > Notifications > TagPulse (iOS).

Deletion of locally stored data: Settings > Apps > TagPulse > Storage > Clear data (Android) or uninstalling and reinstalling the application (iOS).

Complete deletion: uninstalling the Mobile Application deletes all locally stored identifiers.

Through cookies and related technologies we collect and process the following types of data:

Data identifying the user’s terminal equipment and Internet Protocol address.

Technical characteristics of the device and the browser (type and version, operating system, language, screen resolution).

Navigation data within the Website (pages you have visited, time spent, referring page, interactions with the content).

Information on display and language preferences.

Data on the login status of your account.

Data concerning the origin of your visit from an advertising campaign and the completion of a download or registration.

Our Company does not engage in any act of sale or trading of data collected in this manner.

Upon entering the home page of the Website you will find a short informative notice in a pop-up window regarding our use of cookies, which is placed in a prominent position and refers to this cookies policy.

In that informative notice you will find important information on the description and characteristics of the different categories of cookies. You will also have the opportunity to consent to the preference cookies, statistical analysis cookies and marketing cookies that we use.

We always use functionality cookies while you browse our Website, as they are necessary for the operation of our Website and for the provision of our services.

We use preference cookies, performance cookies and marketing cookies only subject to your prior, freely given, express and specific consent, which is provided by an affirmative action. Until your consent is obtained, those services remain deactivated and place no cookies and receive no data concerning you.

The option of rejecting non-essential cookies (“Accept essential only”) is offered just as readily and with the same number of actions as the acceptance of all of them. The withholding or the withdrawal of your consent affects neither your access to the Website nor your ability to download and use our software.

Your consent may be withdrawn at any time, without retroactive effect, as readily as it was given, through the “Cookie Settings” link located in the footer of every page of the Website.

Cookies are stored on your computer or device after you have been informed of the privacy settings and have given your consent to their use. If you do not accept cookies, or certain categories thereof, some of the features of our website may not be fully available, but under no circumstances will you be denied access to our website.

It is at your discretion to withdraw your consent whenever you wish, or to object to the use of cookies on your computer or device, and to control and/or delete cookies.

Should you so wish, you have the possibility to modify the settings of your web browser so as to delete the cookies already existing on your hard drive and to choose either for all new cookies to be automatically rejected, or to be asked, each time a cookie is about to be placed, whether you wish to reject or accept it. You should, however, bear in mind that the rejection of cookies may make the provision of certain personalised features more difficult or impossible.
