Sub-Processors

Purpose

The personal data is stored so that users can access their CP again at a later date. This is done using SharksMedia, which hosts the software on a server in Germany.

CP collects information about how often users are active in the program as part of our service. This information is used to help users get started with the program. This is done using Intercom, which is being used to help with user success.

In case of payment by debit card, we use 4 external suppliers to handle this part of the process. This is because we want a high level of security, so we have no card information saved on our server. The information is stored, encrypted and protected using Clearhaus, Quickpay, Dinero and Upodi, each of which takes care of different parts of the process.

To handle potential new users, we use Hubspot as a CRM system. Leads that will not become users will be deleted after 5 years unless we are asked to delete it before.

We send newsletters via e-mail to the users who have subscribed. This email list is stored via Mailchimp, from which we also send newsletters. Users can always unsubscribe from the mailing list.

We use Hotjar and Google’s following two applications: Google Analytics (GA) and Google Tag Manager to collect information about which pages on our website are being visited including. which buttons are clicked on. In this regard, GA anonymous collects information about visitor users based on their age, gender, geographical location, etc. This data is used solely to improve our website for visitors who are looking at it.

In the event that a user wishes to see our data processing agreements (DPA) with the sub processors, please contact CP, and we will be able to assist you.

 

List of sub-processor

 

CP uses these external suppliers to ensure the delivery of a good product and to ensure the security of payment information. If you would like to know more about what they are helping us, please contact us in chat or by e-mail.

 

Action Plan

DELETING
In case a user wishes to delete his information (to be forgotten), the person himself can do this via his account. The profile will be deleted and nothing else is stored. If the user is invited to other users’ workspaces, then the user will be removed from these.

The user can always ask to have their profile deleted or delete their profile if they wish.

If a profile has not been active for 9 months, it will be deleted from our daily Intercom support program, which we use to help uninvited users and provide ongoing support.

After 5 years, we delete inactive profiles in our backend on the server as well as in Upodi.
