Introduction

 

IDlayr processes two broad categories of personal information when you use our products and services:

 

  • Your personal information as a customer (or potential customer) of IDlayr’s services — information that we refer to as Customer Account Data, and
  • The personal information of your end users who use or interact with your application that you’ve built using IDlayr’s services, like the people you communicate by way of that application — this category contains your Customer Usage Data (e.g., communications metadata).

 

IDlayr processes these categories of personal information differently because the direct relationship we have with you, our customer, is different than the indirect relationship we have with your end users.

 

How IDlayr processes your Personal Information

 

Data protection laws and privacy laws in certain jurisdictions, like the European Economic Area (EEA), differentiate between “controllers” and “processors” of personal information. A controller decides why and how to process personal information.

 

A processor processes personal information on behalf of a controller based on the controller’s instructions. When IDlayr processes your Customer Account Data, the IDlayr entity with whom you are contracting is acting as a controller.

 

Broadly speaking, we use Customer Account Data to further our legitimate interests to:

  • understand who our customers and potential customers are and their interests in IDlayr’s product and services,
  • manage our relationship with you and other customers,
  • carry out core business operations such as accounting, filing taxes, and fulfilling regulatory obligations, and
  • help detect, prevent, or investigate security incidents, fraud and other abuse and/or misuse of our products and services.

 

What Personal Information IDlayr collects

 

We collect and process your personal information:

  • When you visit a IDlayr public-facing website like https://IDlayr.com or sign up for a IDlayr event, or make a request to receive information about IDlayr or our products, like a IDlayr whitepaper or a newsletter;
  • When you contact our Sales Team or Customer Support Team; and
  • When you sign up for a IDlayr account and use our products and services.
  • When you download and install the IDlayr mobile console app

 

We call this personal information Customer Account Data. We also collect Customer Usage Data from you when you use our services. This data might take different forms, and we might use it for different purposes — read on for more information.

What Customer Account Data IDlayr processes when you Sign Up for and Log In to a IDlayr account and why

 

When you sign up for an account with us, we ask for certain information like your contact details and billing information so we can communicate with you and so you can pay for our products and services. We also collect some information automatically, like your IP address, when you log in to your account or when your software application built on IDlayr makes requests to our APIs. We use this to understand who is using our services and how, and to detect, prevent and investigate fraud, abuse, or security incidents.

 

Other Customer Account Data we collect and why

 

We may collect information about you, as our customer, from publicly available sources so we can understand our customer base better.

 

How long we store your Customer Account Data

 

IDlayr will store your Customer Account Data as long as needed to provide you with our services and to operate our business. If you ask IDlayr to delete specific personal information from your Customer Account Data (see ‘How to make choices about your Customer Account Data’ below). We will honour this request unless deleting that information prevents us from carrying out necessary business functions, like billing for our services, calculating taxes, or conducting required audits.

 

How to make choices about your Customer Account Data

 

You can make various choices about your Customer Account Data through the account portal, such as accessing it, correcting it, deleting it, or updating your choices about how it is used, when you log into your IDlayr account or through the marketing preferences centre. Any other requests about your data you cannot make through these self-service tools, you can request by emailing [email protected] or contacting Customer Support.

 

How IDlayr processes your End Users’ Personal Information

 

Your end users’ personal information typically shows up on IDlayr’s platform in a few different ways. Authentication-related personal information about your end users, like your end users’ phone numbers, IP addresses, or device tokens for push notifications, appear in our systems when you use or intend to use this information to authenticate or identify your end user through use of our products and services. We call such information Customer Usage Data. As noted above, data protection law (including privacy law) in certain jurisdictions, like the EEA, differentiate between “controllers” and “processors” of personal information. When we process Customer Usage Data, we act as a processor in many respects, but we may act as a controller in others. For example, we may need to use certain Customer Usage Data for the legitimate interests of billing, reconciling invoices with telecommunications carriers, and in the context of troubleshooting and detecting problems with the network.

 

What Customer Usage Data and Customer Content IDlayr processes and why

 

We use Customer Usage Data to provide services to you and to carry out necessary functions of our business as an authentication service provider, including providing certain Customer Usage Data to telecommunications carriers. We do not sell your end users’ personal information and we do not share your end users’ information with third parties for those third parties’ own business interests.

 

How long do we store Customer Usage Data and Customer Content and exercising choices about End User Personal Information

 

Details regarding how long your end user personal information may be stored on IDlayr systems and how to delete, access, or exercise other choices about end user data will depend on which IDlayr products and services you are using and how you are using them. For that reason, our API docs for each of our products and services are the best place to find more detailed information about managing end user data collected and stored in connection with your use of our products and services.

 

When and why we share your Personal Information or your End Users’ Personal Information

 

We do not sell or allow your Customer Account Data to be used by third parties for their own marketing purposes, unless you ask us to do this or give us your consent to do this. Further, we do not sell your end users’ personal information. We also do not share it with third parties for their own marketing or other purposes, unless you instruct us to do so.

 

Transfers of Personal Information out of the EEA and Switzerland

 

When you use our services, personal information of you and your end users processed by IDlayr may be transferred to other countries where we or our service providers operate. These transfers may take place based on the jurisdiction in which an end user’s mobile phone is registered. IDlayr employs appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers of personal data, as required by applicable local law, including Binding Corporate Rules and the Swiss–U.S. Privacy Shield Framework.

 

Automated Decision Making

 

IDlayr may use automated decision making using a variety of signals derived from account activity to help identify and suspend accounts sending spam or engaged in other abusive or fraudulent activity. Holders of accounts suspended under these circumstances are notified of the suspension and given an opportunity to request human review of the suspension decision.

 

Handling disputes relating to our data protection practices

 

We hope we can resolve any disputes relating to our data protection practices between us. You can raise your concern or dispute by emailing our Privacy Team at [email protected] or by writing to us at: 4Auth Limited, Holborn Gate, 330 High Holborn, London, WC1V 7QH, United Kingdom

For individuals in the EEA, you have additional rights to make a complaint to a competent data protection authority or commence proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

 

How we secure Personal Information

 

We use appropriate security measures to protect the security of your personal information both online and offline. These measures vary based on the sensitivity of the personal information we collect, process and store and the current state of technology. We also take measures to ensure service providers that process personal data on our behalf also have appropriate security controls in place.
