960 Labs Websites may store Cookies on your computer in order to help improve the reliability and experience of our Services and Websites.

For your security and protection, as little credit card data as possible is stored on our Servers as is possible. We know customers are security-conscious (as are we) and aren’t comfortable with companies saving credit card details. That’s why we use Stripe as a payment handler: this allows us to avoid saving card numbers and instead save a unique identifier which can only be used by them to charge the card at our request, using our set of security keys. And we absolutely do not save your CVV. The only other information we store is some basic identifying information: last 4 digits of the long number, the expiry date and the type of card (VISA, MasterCard, Amex etc.) We take credit card security very seriously.

Sensitive data is scrambled using strong encryption.

The Customer agrees to notify 960 Labs of any changes to personal information within reasonable time.

960 Labs may modify this Privacy Policy without reservation.

14GDPR

In line with 2018 GDPR legislation, here’s what we are doing to ensure we comply and keep your sensitive data safe. We value privacy and as such, we only use your data in very specific ways in order to supply you with products and services that you requested - and nothing else.

What We Store

We store as little of your personal data as we can. We store your name(s), address(es) and contact details in order to be able to contact you about products and services that you have specifically told us you want.

We also store your password for our account area(s) one-way encrypted so that even we can’t see or decrypt the actual password; the same level of encryption used by your bank.

In terms of payment details, we don’t store anything about your cards (or other payment services such as Apple Pay) unless we have explained to you that it’s necessary to supply any subscription services you have requested.

In cases where we need to store your card details (as above), we don’t actually store the full card number or CVV code - we store the last 4 digits of the card number, the expiry date (so we can let you know when it is time to update before it expires!). The same information printed on receipts. Additionally, we store a unique identifier (using a method called “pseudonimisation” (that just means it can’t be used by anyone to identify you except us or your card-issuer). This identifier is unique to your card and unique to our payment processing account. This means that even if someone sneaky managed to obtain these details, they can’t do anything at all with them.

The last bits of information we store include a record of products/services you have ordered and copies of any relevant invoices/receipts we have issued to you.

For a full report of everything we store about you, please contact us.

Please note that if we are unable to match your details, for security we will not be able to provide the requested information. So make sure they are up-to-date and accurate in using your account!

How We Store It

We take security very seriously. Web security is much more important these days with the discovery of various exploits that dangerous people can use to gain access to customer data.

We ensure we follow reports of such exploits immediately and implement fixes as soon as they are ready.

We’re also fully PCI compliant, following all associated rules and regulations.

We also regularly analyze our own security measures to ensure they are kept up-to-date and working correctly. For example, we impose mandatory secure communication between your web browser and our servers using valid SSL certificates and AES encryption (again, the same standards of encryption used by our own military and banking institutes). We also implement various features to detect and disable suspicious account activity, brute-force password guessing, cross-site forgery requests (and much more!) The bottom line is that we know how important your data is to you and we respect that.

How Long We Store Your Data

We store the above data for as long as you hold an account (or multiple accounts) with us. We only do this for 2 reasons:

  • To ensure you are notified about continual (subscription) services you order from us.
  • To keep a history of your account activities, both for your security and so that we both have a history of orders, invoices and payments.

Sharing

Everyone likes to share but not necessarily their sensitive personal data. And we agree completely. That’s why we only share the absolute minimum amount of data with our trusted third-parties and only when it’s absolutely necessary to provide you with the products/services you have ordered.

Stripe - Stripe is our payment processor. They are the guys who help us with making charges to your cards and contactless services. As previously outlined, we only share enough data to verify your identity between ourselves and Stripe. At the time of writing this statement, Stripe only share that data with your bank or card issuer (again, for verification) and their Fraud Prevention service, to ensure your cards aren’t being used fraudulently. We will update this policy and let you know if that changes but we don’t expect it to - they’re a very ethical company and we trust them.

Google Analytics (GA) - we use GA like the majority of other websites. We find it useful to determine the kind of people who visit our websites. We aren’t interested in using it to track your purchases or otherwise personally-identifying things so simply put: we don’t. The tools we enable in our Analytics account are non-personally-identifying. This means we don’t share your names, addresses or other specific information about you. However, other sites may and that’s why we have an opt-in policy so we don’t enable GA while you’re browsing unless you turn it on when we ask for your permission (see further down for more information).

Google Analytics is a bit of a grey-area within the GDPR legislation but we like to take your wishes into consideration with cases like these so we have chosen to make this (as well as Facebook and any other potential tracking) an opt-in feature. You will find details of how we implement this in the information below.

Tracking

As mentioned above, we use tracking cookies with the sole purpose of understanding which of our products/services are most useful to you and most popular. We use 4 kinds of tracking:

  • Page requests via Google Analytics and Facebook (please read further below about opt-in for these services - they are off by default).
  • Tracking of page requests (completely anonymous, no personally identifying identification is stored in this case).
  • Confirmation of you having read important emails (such as invoice reminders, “password changed” notifications and other safety and useful notifications - nothing that isn’t required to ensure complete working service for you). We regularly check these to ensure they are still critical and disable any which are not. These confirmations are also used to identify potential fraud on your account so we can take swift action to prevent any unlikely but potential data breaches. We view these as critical.

As a result, we have implemented an opt-in service for Google Analytics cookies. When you visit our site(s), you will be asked if you’d like to opt-in to Google Analytics tracking. If you say no, it will be disabled on our website for you. If you clear your browser cache or your cookies expire, you will be asked if you’d like to opt-in again. We estimate this will be roughly every 6 months or longer.

Notifications

With the exception of security and account-critical email and SMS notifications, we only send you information about products and services you order from us. We don’t send you any marketing junk at all. We get enough spam in our inboxes and we are confident you don’t want any more. If you don’t even want the notifications outlined above, sadly, you’ll need to close your account. We would hate to see you go but if we can’t send you critical security notifications, your account may not be secure. If you really are sure you want to close your account, please log in and select “close account” and we will process the request within 7 days. Please note that this is permanent and you’ll need to register a new account if you decide to come back in the future. All invoices will also be unlinked from your account.

The only other notifications we send without first asking for an opt-in (none currently) are requests offering you the chance to check your data is accurate and allowing you to make any corrections. You will receive these once a year. Please use them when you receive them as if your data is not updated, we will take that to mean that it is up-to-date and correct.

The Right to Be Forgotten

In the event that you wish to have all your data removed, we will, of course, comply. Please log-in to your account here and in the menu you will find an option to close your account.

This is permanent and cannot be undone. You will lose access to copies of your invoices and all ongoing products/services will be canceled with immediate effect. Please ensure this is what you want before you do this.

Please note that certain data cannot be removed. We have to - by law - keep records of payments made and invoices issued. Everything else will be wiped.
