SMART FRIDGE DATA PROTECTION NOTICE

This Smart Fridge Data Protection Notice ("Notice") describes how Selecta AG, Alte Steinhauserstrasse 14, 6330 Cham, Switzerland ("Selecta" or "we" or "us" or "our") as controller processes the personal data and other information ("Data") of the users ("you" or "your") in particular within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and other applicable data protection laws ("Applicable Law") when using Smart fridges ("Store").


1. Content of this Notice

This Notice describes the technical means, their functionality, and if and how Data is collected, processed, and stored in relation to the Smart Fridge. At the end of the Notice, you will find a section describing your rights under the GDPR related to your Data. Selecta is controller for all processing of personal data that occurs in connection with the use and operationalisation of Smart Fridges.


2. Smart Fridge

Data is collected in two different ways when using the Smart Fridge: a) a camera films the products movement in the Smart Fridge as soon as the Smart Fridge is opened; and b) if you use your preferred card for payment.

The collection of the Data is undertaken based on legitimate interest, contractual compliance, and legal obligation


2.1 Camera

As soon as the Smart Fridge is opened, a camera is activated to track the movements of the products in the Smart Fridge to support the appropriate payment of your purchase. The camera will likely only capture your hand movements when operating the Smart Fridge, but depending on the angle you are positioned to the Smart Fridge, the camera might be able to catch more of your features on video. However, this is not intended but unfortunately impossible to avoid. Such video footage is stored locally on a hard drive installed in the Smart Fridge and remains there for 7 days. In case of a discrepancy, the video footage is sent to our service provider, Instant Systems Sweden AB, in Sweden where your data is hosted on a dedicated server operated by Instant Systems Sweden AB. In such case, the video footage will be retrieved from the system, if there is a question regarding a transaction.  Such video footage is stored on that dedicated server for 7 days.


2.2 Card data

If you use your card to get access to Store, your card data will be processed by the company Fiserv, Inc. or its affiliates (www.fiserv.com) which is an independent US based third-party service provider. Your card data will be handled in line with the PCI standard and will only receive the money from the corresponding transaction. We kindly ask you to consult the respective privacy policy of Fiserv, Inc. The card data is collected to fulfil the contract, namely processing the payment.


3. Legal basis for the processing activities


3.1 Camera

Selecta's legal basis for processing video footage is legitimate interest, pursuant to the GDPR article 6 nr. 1 f. The purpose of the video recordings is to document and resolve discrepancies, for instance technical issues or suspected theft.

Selecta has legitimate interest to avoid discrepancies and document that the Smart Fridges are operated appropriately and that they function properly.

To achieve the purposes of the legitimate interests, it is necessary to record video. If video recordings are not in place, Selecta will not get definitive documentation and will not be able to adequately address discrepancies.

As the video footage only captures a person’s hand, the infringement on an individual’s privacy is minimized. Moreover, the Smart Fridges have clear and visible information signaling that video recording is taken place.

Selecta will not share video recordings with anyone except for sub-processors, and potentially public authorities provided that such authorities have a legal basis to request such Data.


3.2 Credit Card

Selecta's legal basis for processing card data is that the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, and for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject to. Please see GDPR article 6 nr. 1 b and c.

To process payments, Selecta must also process card data. Under applicable bookkeeping legislation, Selecta is also obligated to keep records of transactions.


4. International data transfer and transfer to third parties to comply with a legal obligation

The  Data that we collect or receive about you may be transferred to and processed by recipients - as set out in this notice - which are located in Sweden and in the USA. To safeguard your Data, a Data Processing Agreement in line with Art. 28 GDPR has been concluded.

Selecta may also transfer your personal data to law enforcement agencies, government authorities, legal counsel and external consultants. The legal basis for such processing is compliance with a legal obligation to which Selecta is subject to or legitimate interests, such as exercise or defense of legal claims.


5. What rights do you have and how can you assert your rights?

If you have declared your consent for any personal data processing activities, you can withdraw this consent at any time with future effect. Such a withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of the processing prior to the consent withdrawal.

Pursuant to applicable data protection law you may have the right to: request access to your personal data, request rectification of your personal data; request erasure of your personal data, request restriction of processing of your personal data; request data portability, and object to the processing of your personal data. Please note that these aforementioned rights might be limited under the applicable national data protection law. For further information on these rights please refer to Appendix Your Rights. If you wish to exercise your rights towards Selecta, please use the contact information under 7.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection supervisory authority in your country. In the UK, this is the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO)  which may be contacted through their website ico.org.uk or via their helpline on 0303 123 1113 .  In Ireland, this is the Data Protection Commission (DPC), which can be contacted through their website dataprotection.ie or via their helpline 01 7650100


6. How long do we keep your Personal Data?

Video footage is stored locally on a hard drive installed in the Smart Fridge and remains there for 7 days. In case of a discrepancy, the video footage is sent to our service provider Instant Systems Sweden AB in Sweden where your data is hosted on a dedicated server operated by Instant Systems Sweden AB.
