For users of a ResponseTap Customer website, ResponseTap is acting as a service provider to the Customer, in providing the ResponseTap Services (described above).
ResponseTap tracks the online activity of a visitor to the ResponseTap Customer’s website. This enables the Customer to analyse a website visitor’s journey through the Customer’s website.
We do this by using cookies (via our Customers’ websites) to collect certain information from your device regarding your use of our Customer’s website.
The information we may collect on our Customer’s behalf (via our Customers’ websites) as described above could include your IP address and other information relating to your web browser or operating system configuration (such as screen resolution and browser version), cookie IDs, and telephone number. We may also process recordings of calls made to our Customers, on our Customer’s behalf.
The collection of such information is designed to enable the Customer to analyse a website visitor’s journey through the Customer’s website and analyse the effectiveness of the Customer’s marketing initiatives. However, please note that our Customer determines the purpose for which such information is used and is responsible for determining the legal basis for processing such data. ResponseTap processes such information on behalf of the Customer.
Please refer to our Customer’s privacy policy to find out more about how they will use your personal data. ResponseTap will only process your personal information for the purpose of providing the Services to our Customer, and as required under applicable laws.
We also collect, use and share aggregated data such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose (“Aggregated Data”). Aggregated Data may be derived from your personal data but is not considered personal data as this data does not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. For example, we may aggregate information about the number of users accessing a website or a specific website feature. However, if we combine or connect Aggregated Data with your personal data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as personal data which will be used in accordance with this privacy policy.
4. What basis do we have for processing your personal data
We will process your personal data where we have a lawful basis for doing so. In general, our lawful basis will be:
(i) That the processing is necessary for the purposes of pursuing our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of our Customers (as explained above);
(ii) That the processing is necessary for compliance with our legal obligations.
We may also process personal data on the basis of your consent.

In some cases, we may choose to buy or sell business assets. In these types of transactions, user information is typically one of the transferred business assets.

6. Right to access, edit, and remove your information
The European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation provides you with rights in relation to your personal data in certain circumstances:
When you request access to personal information that we hold about you, we may ask you to verify your identity before providing such information to you, or making any requested changes. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request. You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above in respect of our processing of your personal data, please contact us at dpo@responsetap.com. If you wish to access, or correct, amend, or delete inaccurate data held by one of our Customers, or no longer want to be contacted by one of our Customers, please direct your enquiry to the relevant Customer because the Customer is the data controller.
You may have the right to lodge a complaint to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority for data protection issues (). We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the ICO, so please do contact us in the first instance and we shall endeavour to resolve your complaint.
7. Security Measures
We adopt a wide range of appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect the security of our site and the ResponseTap Services. Our data storage facilities have extensive protection and detection systems. Further details of these, and our other measures designed for security and privacy are available upon request.
8. International Transfer
ResponseTap Limited stores and processes personal data on servers based in the European Union.
In respect of Customers who have contracted with ResponseTap Inc in the USA, the data will be processed by ResponseTap Inc in the USA, and we may therefore store information on servers in the United States.
We may also share personal data within the ResponseTap group which will involve transferring data outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”) to ResponseTap Inc in the USA. As the USA has not been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission, we have put in place specific contractual provisions which have been approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection as it has in Europe.
Some of our telecommunication providers are based outside the European Economic Area and to the extent that the services that they provide to us involves any processing of personal data, we will ensure that appropriate measures are in place.
For transfers of personal data outside the EEA, as described above, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are implemented, including:
Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data outside of the EEA.
