We help our clients analyse their textual data automatically, for example:

  • Email categorization

The goal of this policy is to describe how we handle personal data and what related preferences are available.

Platform privacy policy  

Terms  

In the following we use the term platform referring to Neticle Text Analysis API.

Users (data subjects) are persons who have access to the platform. We store their name, email address and password to the platform.

The platform’s users belong to clients, which are legal entities and responsible for the data they send to the platform. (In specific cases of individual users who have been registered to the platform without naming a legal entity (their company) to which they belong, these users are the clients as well and also hold the related responsibility and obligations.)

Administrators are employees of Neticle Text Analysis API platform creator Neticle PLC. They are developers and account managers who might help the users with steps, questions or report creation. The administrators handle all client information and data confidentially and cannot share it with third parties without the written permission of the client.

Website refers to the Neticle Text Analysis API main page and subpages on this domain. It does not refer to the platform related pages that are available on the sub-domain: textanalysis.neticle.com.

Data we manage

With Neticle Text Analysis API we handle two types of data:

  • data about our users
  • data that our users send to the platform for processing and analysis

The platform acts as data controller and data processor regarding the user data and for the data that our users send to the platform they act as data controller and the platform is the data processor.

Managing user data

The platform uses standard authentication methods and stores our users’ names, email addresses and passwords for login. No other personal or sensitive data is collected mandatorily. During automated registrations users can provide additional information to help our administrators give customised support. This data can be the user’s phone number, industry, position or country.

Users can provide card payment information to use the platform. Credit/debit card data is stored in a secure, encrypted way and the third party payment services only receive the data necessary to manage the payment.

The user data is stored in a secured and encrypted database. We do not trade this data and do not give access to other third parties.

The platform can use the email addresses of the users to share the latest platform updates with them.

The platform can send email notifications on specific triggers, for example if a threshold or quota is reached for a project.

Users and card data can be deleted from the platform permanently upon client request or user request.

Sending data to the platform

Users can send data sets to process and analyse them with the platform. These data sets are usually customer reviews, social media comments, online news, survey answers collected and owned by the client.

The client acts as data controller in such cases and it is the client’s responsibility to provide the right data privacy and usage notices when collecting the data set to be analysed by the platform.

The sent data is text analysed and summarized by the platform. The results are received via Restful API answers in a structured file format (JSON). Clients usually integrate the platform with their in-house IT solutions and databases, so the results are not processed by users but systems.

The data sent is never stored by the platform. It only analyses the text and sends back the results in real time. The platform only logs the language, length and processing time for performance-monitoring goals. Upon client request our administrators can have access to the logs to help in troubleshooting or platform usage.

If the client sends personal or sensitive information to the platform, it is the client’s responsibility to notify the respondents about their privacy and data management goals.

Showing usage statistics on dashboard

Users can see the usage statistics (number of calls, data volume, average response time, etc.) of the data processing and analysing via a web-based dashboard from their browsers. They can see charts and summaries regarding the usage, but they cannot see the analysed data as it is not stored.

Third parties and other clients’ users do not have access to this dashboard.

Access to personal data during development and support

In special cases administrators of the platform might need to access personal data for testing or troubleshooting purposes. They do not have the right to copy or share personal information.

Storage period and deletion

The sent data is not stored, just analysed and sent back.

Platform data security

Sending data

When data is sent to the platform it reaches the platform via encrypted HTTPS protocol. The platform is hosted in Microsoft Azure Cloud. The modules of the platform are physically located in the European Union, mainly in the Netherlands.

Storing and processing data

The owner of the platform, Neticle PLC. (https://neticle.com/) uses the computing capacity of Microsoft Azure Cloud. The related physical security and availability is guaranteed by the provider, while on the software side Neticle PLC. does regular security maintenance, security updates and maintains a professional user permission structure.

Neticle PLC. also does regular updates and internal security audits for each software component and their frameworks.

Website privacy policy

We act as data controllers of this data. We only use this data as the regarding form intends: we contact the demo request to start a platform trial and to have a video intro call if possible. We send the newsletter subscribers regular emails about important product updates or new use-cases. We send them such information a maximum twice a month. We use the personal info (first name, last name, email) to provide personalized content in our newsletter if possible. We store this data in our CRM platform and our email marketing platform; we do not share this data with other third parties.

Administrators (aka our employees) have access to the personal data. They are obliged to manage it as confidential data.
