Our partnering payment processor may also store your credit card details (e.g. card type and date of expiry) and other data that is needed for processing your payment. We may also collect some limited data, such as data about your payment history, where this is essential for providing the Service. In addition, payment processors normally provide us with some limited data which relates to you, such as a personal identifier through which you can make further purchases using their saved data about you. In order for us to show you the details of the cards you have used, the payment processors provide us with data on your card type, the date of expiry, and some of the digits of your card number.

3 USAGE DATA COLLECTED BY US AND USE OF COOKIES

3.1 Services: Redfox Pro, Redfox Master, Redfox Basic, Redfox Basic+, Redfox webstore and redfoxsanakirja.fi

We make use of different technologies (e.g. cookies) to collect from Service users data on how they use our Services and how they enter the Service. These data include, for example, the following:

-The type of order.

-Searches carried out and content which you produce and publish in our Service.

-Technical data, such as URL data, network address, cookie data, type of hardware used, browser type, language, type of network connection and service provider.

3.2 Free Redfox Services: Redfox Basic, Redfox Basic+, Redfox webstore and redfoxsanakirja.fi

In addition to those mentioned in Section 3.1, the free Redfox Services operate as follows with respect to usage data, cookies and advertisements.

We may collect information about your use of the Services through the use of cookies and other similar technologies, such as your browser's local data warehouse, application identifier or device identifiers.

A cookie is a small text file that a browser stores on a user's terminal. Cookies contain an anonymous, unique identifier that allows us to identify and count the various browsers that visit our site. Cookies do not move online by themselves, but are set on the user's terminal only with the site the user invites. Only the server that sent the cookie can later read and use the cookie. Cookies or other technologies do not damage the user's terminal or files, and cookies cannot be used to access programs or spread malware.

Javascript and server logs allow us to collect information about how and when our services are used: for example, from which page the user has accessed the service, when and what web pages the user has browsed, whose advertiser’s advertisements the user has seen on our page and clicked, what browser the user uses, what is user screen resolution, device operating system and version, and IP address.

The purpose of using cookies and other similar technologies is to further analyze and develop our services to better serve our users. Among other things, the technologies make it possible for the user not to have to re-enter usernames, passwords and personalization choices every time.

We use cookies and other similar technologies to statistically monitor the number of visitors to our services and to measure the effectiveness of advertising. For example, we may collect information from marketing emails and newsletters to determine whether messages have been opened and acted upon, such as moving to an online store. To improve the usability of our sites, we may conduct short-term surveys in which we may also record information about a user's mouse movement and clicks on a particular page.

We may also use the information we collect about the use of our sites to generate advertising or content targeted to a particular browser. We may create audience segments based on which websites certain browsers have visited over a period of time. These audience segments are presented with advertising or content that is likely to be of interest to them. For example, a browser belonging to a target group may frequently visit a hockey site and thus become classified as a “sports” group.

In addition to us, cookies may also be used by third parties to collect information. Third parties include, for example, advertisers or ad networks who work with us, as well as various measurement service providers. In our online services we use e.g. Google Analytics to measure the use of our online services. Third parties, such as Google Analytics, may set cookies to collect information about, for example, the number of visitors to websites. You can read more about Google Analytics terms here.

Our services may also use social plugins such as the Like or Share buttons on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. Such community-linked buttons may appear on our services, but their content comes directly from the button’s source. A social plug-in on our service recognizes that you are logged in to that service, at which point the page will display customized content on the plug-in. Community plug-ins do not display custom content unless you are signed in to that service. Community-based services may collect information about your visit in accordance with their applicable privacy policies. Such services will not disclose the information they collect to us unless you have given your express consent to do so. You can read the terms of social networking services here for Facebook, here for Twitter and here for Instagram.

Our web service uses JavaScript to detect the use of ad-blocking add-ons in web browsers. JavaScript mimics the ad and confirms that it will be displayed on the device. We do this, but we do not store any data on your device and for this purpose we do not process data that could personally identify you. If we find that your browser is using an ad blocker, we may restrict the content we offer. If you don't want us to use ad blocker detection mechanisms, you can disable JavaScript functionality in your browser settings. We reserve the right to restrict the content of our online service if you do not agree to our use of ad blocking program identification mechanisms.

You can clear cookies from the browser settings of the device you are using, which will change the identifier used to collect information about the device. You also have the option to completely block the use of cookies by changing the browser settings of the device you are using. Blocking cookies may affect the operation of our services and the targeting of advertising. If you choose to block cookies, you may not be able to take full advantage of the online services we provide.

To process your payments and to manage in other ways the customer relationship with you.

Legislation, in areas where data processing relates to complying with accounting obligations.

The data provided is transferred online using a secure connection (https protocol). We protect the register created from the provided data using appropriate technical methods, such as firewalls, access right management and regular backups. The backups are located in separate premises. They are easily accessible and the backup process works in such a way that the new versions replace the old ones and the old data is automatically removed. The only individuals with access to the data are those that require it for their work.

5.1 Retention time of personal data

After the termination of the customer relationship, the personal data is retained for a maximum of six calendar years, starting from the year following the termination of the customer relationship. Customer data on payment transactions and invoicing history is retained for the period required by law, and after this it is destroyed as soon as possible. Data relating to a legitimate interest of Redfox Languages, however, is retained for as long as this legitimate interest exists.
