SCP Europe SAS, a Simplified Stock Company, registered at France under the number 428 668 727 and whose head office is located at 1 Marcel Paul Rue, 91300 Massy, France, and its direct and indirect affiliates (“SCP Europe” or “we”), respect users of the Actisoft app and other related applications or services (collectively, the “App”) and understand that you are concerned about privacy. We have therefore drafted this Privacy and Cookies Policy to let you know what kind of personal information we collect, how it is handled, and with whom it may be shared.

This Privacy and Cookies Policy applies only to the processing of personal information of App users carried out by SCP Europe as a data controller. Processing occurring on other websites and separate applications or services may be governed by separate privacy policies, and we recommend that you review the privacy policies provided on those sites and applications. The App is available on Google Play. To learn more about Google Play’s privacy policy, please click the following link: Google Play Services.

This Privacy and Cookies Policy sets out the principles governing SCP Europe’s use and protection of your personal information. SCP Europe is committed to handling any such personal information shared with us in accordance with this Privacy and Cookies Policy, the EU General Data Protection Regulation, and other applicable data protection and privacy laws.

Please note that by using the App you may be transferring your personal information to a country that does not have the same data protection laws as your home country.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us at privacy@scpeurope.com or privacy@poolcorp.com.

Information We Collect and How We Use It

The App collects certain personal information, including under the circumstances listed below:
We may collect (directly or through third-party providers) certain device identifiers (e.g., device IDs, IP addresses, and other identifiers) and “log data” from your device. This information, which may include some personal information, allows us to deliver the App to you, evaluate usage of the App, and make improvements to the App.
When you submit a water analysis, your name is stored in the internal storage space of your device and is not transferred or otherwise processed by SCP Europe.
If you elect to share your water analysis history, your name and any other information you chose to include in the water analysis form will be shared with us and our dealers, and you consent to the transfer and storage of that information on our servers.

We process such personal information for the following purposes:

Purpose of the processing	Legal basis
Log data to deliver and evaluate App	Our legitimate interest, which is the proper functioning of our commercial activity
Submission of water analysis	Our legitimate interest, which is the proper functioning of our commercial activity
Sharing water analysis history	Our legitimate interest, which is the proper functioning of our commercial activity

We believe the risk to your data protection rights in connection with personal information that we process on the basis of our legitimate interests is not excessive or overly intrusive. We have also put in place protections for your rights by ensuring proper retention periods and security controls.

It is our policy to retain your personal information for the length of time required for the specific purpose or purposes for which it was collected, as detailed below:

Purpose of the Processing	Applicable Retention Period
Log data to deliver and evaluate App	1 month, unless required for the clarification/evidence of specific infringements which have emerged during the retention period
Submission of water analysis	3 years after closure of the account Sharing water analysis history 3 years after closure of the account
Sharing water analysis history	3 years after closure of the account

Whilst we continue to process your personal information, we will ensure that it is processed in accordance with this Privacy and Cookies Policy. Otherwise, we securely erase or anonymise your personal information once it is no longer needed.

To the extent we collect personal information through the App, we may share that information with third-party providers that perform services for us, such as to facilitate our App, perform App-related services, or assist us in analyzing how our App is used. When we work with a dealer or third-party provider, we require that these parties agree to process data based on our instructions and in compliance with this Privacy and Cookies Policy and applicable laws.

This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

Security of the Information We Collect

The security of your personal information is important to us. We maintain reasonable physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to secure the personal information we collect.

There is always some risk in transmitting information electronically. As we deem appropriate, we use security measures consistent with industry standards. However, we cannot guarantee the security of our databases, nor can we guarantee that information you supply won't be intercepted while being transmitted to us over the Internet.

Therefore, we strongly advise you to review the privacy policies of these sites. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.

Children’s Privacy

It is our policy not to knowingly collect personal information from children, and therefore we do not knowingly distribute or otherwise process such information to third parties. If you are a parent/guardian and you suspect that your child may have submitted personal information to us, please send us an email at privacy@scpeurope.com or privacy@poolcorp.com. If we become aware that a child has provided us with personal information, we will strive to delete such information from our files as soon as possible.

Your Rights

The following section explains your rights that you may exercise. The various rights are not absolute and each is subject to certain exceptions.

The right of access – You have the right to obtain from us confirmation as to whether or not your personal information is being processed by us, and about certain other information (similar to that provided in this policy) about how it is used. You also have the right to access your personal information, by requesting a copy of the personal information concerning you. This is so you are aware and can check that we are using your information in accordance with data protection law. We can refuse to provide information where to do so may reveal personal data about another person or would otherwise negatively impact another person's rights.
The right to rectification – You can ask us to take measures to correct your personal information if it is inaccurate or incomplete (e.g., if we have the wrong name or address for you).
The right to erasure – This is also known as the ‘right to be forgotten’ and, in simple terms, enables you to request the deletion or removal of your personal information where, for example, there is no compelling reason for us to keep using it or its use is unlawful. This is however not a general right to erasure and there are some exceptions, e.g., where we need to use the information in defense of a legal claim or to be able to comply with a legal obligation.
The right to restrict processing – You have the right to ‘block’ or suppress the further use of your personal information when we are assessing a request for rectification or as an alternative to erasure. When processing is restricted, we can still store your personal information, but may not use it further.
The right to data portability – You have the right to obtain and reuse certain personal information for your own purposes across different organizations (being separate data controllers). This only applies to your personal information that you have provided to us that we are processing with your consent and for the purposes of contract fulfillment, which is being processed by automated means. In such a case we will provide you with a copy of your data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format or (where technically feasible) we may transmit your data directly to a separate data controller.
The right to object – You have the right to object to certain types of processing, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time insofar as that processing takes place for the purposes of our legitimate interests. We will be allowed to continue to process the personal information if we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms or we need this for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims. If you object to the processing of your personal information for direct marketing purposes, we will no longer process your personal information for such purposes.
The right to withdraw consent – Where we process your personal information on the basis of your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. However, such withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of the processing that occurred prior to such withdrawal.
The right to provide us with directives regarding the use of your personal information after your death – You have the right to provide us with instructions on the management (e.g., retention, erasure and disclosure) of your personal information after your death. You can change or revoke your instructions at any time.
The right to lodge a complaint – If you believe that we do not comply with applicable data protection laws, you have the right to lodge a complaint before any competent data protection authority.

You may contact us at any time at privacy@scpeurope.com or privacy@poolcorp.com to exercise these rights.
