Privacy and data protection
Privacy Policy
1. Scope
This Privacy Policy explains how WeldInspect Pro processes personal data through the website, trial forms, application, billing, support, analytics and related services. It applies to visitors, trial users, customer users, administrators and business contacts.
2. Roles
For account, billing, website, analytics and support data, the provider generally acts as controller. For personal data uploaded by customers into a tenant, including names of welders, inspectors, coordinators, contact persons, signatures, photos or documents, the customer generally acts as controller and the provider acts as processor under the Data Processing Agreement.
3. Personal data processed
- identity and contact data such as name, email, company, phone and role;
- account data such as login identifiers, tenant membership, permissions and audit logs;
- billing data such as subscription, invoice, payment status and transaction references;
- usage data such as pages, events, device data, IP address, session information and security logs;
- support and communication data;
- Customer Data submitted into the Platform, which may include inspection records, project contacts, photos, uploaded documents and quality records.
4. Purposes
Personal data is processed to provide the Platform, create and administer accounts, enable trials, process billing, generate reports, provide support, improve security, monitor performance, communicate with customers, comply with law, prevent misuse and improve the service.
5. Legal bases
Where GDPR applies, processing may be based on contract performance, legitimate interests, legal obligations, consent and, where applicable, the customer's instructions as controller. Legitimate interests include security, fraud prevention, service improvement, B2B communication, analytics and enforcement of terms.
6. Cookies and analytics
The website and app may use cookies, local storage and analytics technologies to operate sessions, remember preferences, measure conversion, monitor reliability and improve the Platform. Non-essential analytics or marketing cookies may be subject to consent requirements depending on jurisdiction.
7. Sharing and sub-processors
Personal data may be shared with hosting providers, database providers, payment processors, email delivery providers, analytics providers, monitoring tools, support tools, professional advisers and authorities where legally required. Payment processing may involve Mollie or another payment provider. The provider remains responsible for engaging sub-processors under appropriate contractual safeguards where GDPR applies.
8. International transfers
Data may be processed in the European Economic Area and other countries where service providers operate. Where GDPR applies and data is transferred outside the EEA without an adequacy decision, the provider will use appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses or other lawful mechanisms where required.
9. Retention
Data is retained for as long as necessary for the purposes described above, including service delivery, account administration, legal compliance, audit, dispute resolution, security and backup. Customer Data may be deleted after termination or inactivity subject to contractual, legal and technical retention periods.
10. Security
The provider uses reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data, including access controls, tenant separation, encrypted transport, monitoring, backups and administrative controls. No online service can guarantee absolute security.
11. Data subject rights
Depending on jurisdiction, individuals may have rights to access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, objection and withdrawal of consent. Where the provider acts as processor, requests relating to Customer Data should be directed to the customer controller, and the provider will assist as required by the DPA.
12. Children's data
The Platform is intended for business and professional use and is not directed to children. Customers must not knowingly submit children's personal data unless lawful and necessary for a documented business purpose.
13. Automated decisions
The Platform may calculate statuses, scores or workflow indicators based on Customer Data. These are workflow aids and are not intended to produce legally binding automated decisions about individuals.
14. Changes
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. Material changes will be communicated through the website, application or other reasonable means.
15. Contact
Privacy questions and data protection requests can be submitted through the contact or support channels listed on the WeldInspect Pro website or in the application.
