CAPI App User Privacy Policy

Last updated on 21 February 2022

This application is provided by NIPO Software B.V. (NIPO) which, as described in the table below, when collecting data on behalf of its customer (the Market Research Company who engaged the User to conduct the research through the CAPI App, who acts as the data controller) acts as data processor.

As further described in the table below, NIPO also collects usage and performance data for its own purposes; in this case NIPO acts as data controller. In the table a clear distinction is made between those cases where NIPO acts as the data processor and other cases where NIPO is the data controller. This distinction is relevant in case the User wishes to exercise any of its rights under GDPR, CCPA and other privacy laws.

This privacy policy explains how we collect, store and otherwise process any personal information related to User’s use of this App. In this policy we often refer to ‘personal data’, by this we mean any information which relates to and can be used to identify a natural (living) person, and/or a specific household, if you are located in California.

At NIPO we find the confidentiality and integrity of User data very important. That is why NIPO complies with California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and is certified for the ISO 27001:2013 data security standard.
