Privacy Policy

1 July 2022.

Introduction

Glisser Ltd (“Glisser”, “us”, “we” and “our”) are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. Accordingly, we have established this Privacy Policy to inform you as to how we look after your personal data when: 

  • you visit our website (“Visitor”) at www.glisser.com (“site” or “website”) (regardless of where you visit it from); or
  • you use our software solution (“Solution”) as a subscriber (“Customer”); or
  • you use our software application (“Application”) as an audience member (“Audience Member”).

This Privacy Policy, together with our Terms and Conditions, sets out the basis on which any personal data we collect from you, or that you provide to us, will be processed by us.

This Privacy Policy complies with the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and the Data Protection Act 2018 (the “Act”).

If you have any questions, complaints or other enquiries about this Privacy Policy and our use of your Personal Data, we can be reached by email at [email protected], or by mail at:

  • Glisser Ltd, 86-90 Paul Street, London, England, EC2A 4NE
  • Glisser Inc, 132 W 31st St, 9th Floor, New York, NY 10001

You have the right to make a complaint at any time to the Information Commissioner’s Office (“ICO”), the UK supervisory authority for data protection issues (www.ico.org.uk). We would, however, appreciate your giving us the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the ICO, so please contact us in the first instance. 

Our EU representative is Ruben Onderdelinden and can be contacted at [email protected].

What is Personal Data?

The definition of personal data varies by different laws and regulations established around the world. 

Under the GDPR, Personal Data means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified. It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous data). It includes your name, email address, telephone number, or mailing address, and other information that directly identifies who you are. It also includes information that may be used to uniquely identify you, or a device you use, such as a cookie, or unique identifier. The Internet Protocol (IP) address associated with a computer you use to access our Site, Solution or Application is considered personal data.

Data Controller/Processor

For the purpose of the Data Protection Act 2018, Glisser is the Data Controller and our Data Controller registration number is ZA062440. For the purposes of GDPR, Glisser may also act as the Data Processor on behalf of its clients. 

For clarity, we act in these two roles as follows:

  • Glisser is the Data Controller of “Customer Personal Data” collected as Customers sign up to the Solution
  • Glisser is the Data Processor of “Content” uploaded into the platform by Customers
  • Glisser is the Data Controller, jointly with the Customer, of “Audience Personal Data” collected by the Application
  • Glisser is the Data Processor of additional “Personally Identifiable Information” collected via the platform as “Interaction Data” 
  • Glisser is the Data Controller of “Visitor Personal Data” submitted when downloading materials from our Website

We reserve the right to amend or modify this Privacy Policy at any time and in response to changes in applicable law. If we change our privacy policy, we will post the changes on this page and may place notices on other pages of our website. Except as may be required by applicable law, we will not materially diminish the protection of your Personal Data in any amendment or modification.

It is important that the Personal Data we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal data changes during your relationship with us. 

1. COLLECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION AND REQUESTS FOR CONSENT

1.1 We need to collect certain personal details from you as a Customer so that you may use the Solution, to facilitate the provision of the Solution, and to maintain our quality standards. These details may include your name, email address, contact details, company name and other basic information (together, “Customer Personal Data”). You can amend or update the information you have provided at any time.

1.2 We need to collect a unique identifier from you as Audience Member when you use the Application in order to facilitate the provision of the Solution, to allow you use the Application, and to receive the Content. As standard we only collect an Audience Member’s email address (“Audience Personal Data”) unless an alternative unique identifier is selected by our Customer.

1.3 By registering your details on the Site you permit us to process your Customer Personal Data and contact you via email or telephone, for the purposes of monitoring the provision of the services through the Site, the Application and the Solution, in order to fulfil our contract to you as a Customer.

1.4 By registering your details on the Site as a free user you permit us to process your Customer Personal Data and contact you via email or telephone, for the purposes providing you with relevant information pertaining to our Site, the Application and the Solution, and ensuring you are happy with the level of service you are receiving, on the basis of legitimate interest as a Customer.

1.5 By registering your details on the Application, you consent to us, and the providers of any presentations you attend via the Solution, to process your Audience Personal Data in order for the Application and the Solution to function allowing you to participate in the Event and receive the Content, and participate in any interactivity, on the basis of legitimate interest as an Audience Member.

1.6 When registering your details on the Application you are able to provide clear consent to the processing and use of your Audience Personal Data for a specific purpose, as defined by us and/or our Customers at the point of providing that data.

1.7 Provided that you consent to receiving such communications, we (where the Presenter is using our free Solution) or our Customers (the providers of any Presentations you have attended via the Solution) may send you promotional emails about our or their own or third parties’ product developments, new products or special offers, or other information which we or they think you may find interesting, or for market research purposes, as defined at the point of consent.

1.8 Visitors to our website have the opportunity to download content by providing basic information including an email address (“Visitor Personal Data”). By registering your details on the Site in order to download information as a Visitor you are able to provide clear consent to the processing and use of your Visitor Personal Data for a specific purpose, as defined by us at the point of providing that data.

1.9 We will not share, trade or sell your personal information to any company or parties not directly associated with its proper use within the Site or as described above, except when you give us explicit permission.

1.10 We collate information such as site traffic, sales and interaction data which we may use for internal purposes or pass on to third parties (whether within or outside the EEA).

1.11 In certain circumstances we may have a legal obligation to disclose personal information, and we reserve the right to do so.

  • If we transfer your Personal Data to any other country which is not subject to an adequacy decision of the European Commission or the UK (as applicable) regarding an adequate level of protection of Personal Data, we will ensure that there is a legal basis and, if required, a relevant safeguard method (as defined in GDPR) for such data transfer so that your Personal Data is treated in a manner that is consistent with, and respects the applicable laws and regulations on data protection in the EEA or the UK (as applicable).
  • Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts which give Personal Data the same protection it has in the EEA or the UK (as applicable). 
  • We may transfer your Personal Data to countries that have legal framework(s) for data protection that substantially mirror the GDPR. 

2.5 Notwithstanding clause 2.4, we will not transfer your Personal Data to the United States, unless accessed by your users in the United States.

Any transmission is at your own risk.
