Point Four's Privacy Notice and Cookies Policy
Privacy Notice At Point Four, we are committed to maintaining the trust and confidence of our customers and visitors to our websites and mobile apps. Here you’ll find information on how we treat data that we collect from customers and visitors to our websites, or mobile apps. Visitors to our Websites When someone visits pointfour.co.uk, pointfour.ie or cms.pointfour.co.uk we use a third-party service, Google Analytics, to collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behaviour patterns. We do this to find out things such as the number of visitors to the various parts of our sites. This information is only processed in a way which does not identify anyone. We do not make, and do not allow Google to make, any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our websites. You can find more information on how cookies are used on these websites in the Cookies Policy below. On occasions we may collect personally identifiable information through our pointfour.co.uk and pointfour.ie websites. This would be your name and email address if you subscribe to our mailing list or your telephone number if you request a call back. This information is held until we have completed your request. Our cms.pointfour.co.uk website collects personally identifiable information. This would be your name, email address, phone number, business address and username when you set up an account to use our Cloud Management System (CMS). This information is held on our secure servers until such time as your account is closed and then it is deleted. Each time you login to our CMS service we collect your username and password to identify the data that you have access to. You may close your online CMS account at any time by emailing our Data Protection Officer DPO@pointfour.co.uk. Mailing List Sign Up As part of the registration process for our mailing list, we collect personal information. We use that information for a couple of reasons: to tell you about our products, services and offers that you have asked us to tell you about; to contact you if we need to obtain or provide additional information; to check our records are right and to check every now and then that you are happy and satisfied. We do not rent or trade email lists with other organisations and businesses. We use a third-party provider, MailChimp, to deliver our e-newsletters. We gather statistics around email opening and clicks using industry standard technologies to help us monitor and improve our e-newsletter. For more information, please see MailChimp’s privacy notice. You can unsubscribe to our mailing list at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any of our emails or by emailing DPO@pointfour.co.uk.

Mobile Apps Each time you login to our Mobile CMS app (Point Four Cloud) we collect your username and password to identify you and allow access to your businesses data. This information is sent securely to our servers and provides log information and details of users’ behaviour patterns. We do this to find out things such as the number of visits to the various parts of the app. This information is held until the closure of your account. You may close your online CMS account at any time by emailing our Data Protection Officer DPO@pointfour.co.uk. Each time you login to our Mobile Shop Scan app we collect your activation code and password to identify your store and allow access to your data.

Changes to this Privacy Notice This Privacy Notice has recently been updated to reflect changes within the law and the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR). We keep our Privacy Notice under regular review. This Privacy Notice was last updated on 12th February 2019. Cookies Policy We use a system of classifying the different types of cookies which we use on the websites, or which may be used by third parties through our websites. The classification was developed by the International Chamber of Commerce UK and explains more about which cookies we use, why we use them, and the functionality you will lose if you decide you do not want to have them on your device. What is a cookie? Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information which are downloaded to your personal computer, mobile or other device when you visit a website. Cookies are then sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognises that cookie. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognise a user's device. How long are cookies stored for? Persistent cookies - these cookies remain on a user's device for the period of time specified in the cookie. They are activated each time that the user visits the website that created that particular cookie. Session cookies - these cookies allow website operators to link the actions of a user during a browser session. A browser session starts when a user opens the browser window and finishes when they close the browser window. Session cookies are created temporarily. Once you close the browser, all session cookies are deleted. Cookies do lots of different jobs, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and generally improve the user experience. You can find more information about how cookies are stored and used at www.allaboutcookies.org and www.youronlinechoices.eu.
