3          About icetrak Services

 

Icetrak is a Communications Platform-as-a-Service (CPaaS) provider. While providing Services to our customers, we act either as the controller or the processor, depending on the situation.

When we act as a processor

Our customers are mainly companies that integrate our Services into their business operations through their own software. By using our Services, our customers are able to send or exchange communications with their end-users using different communication channels (SMS, fax etc.). We do not have a direct relationship with our customers’ end-users.  Therefore we simply distribute our Customers communications requests through telecom operators and other communications providers. When we do this, we act as the processor on behalf of our customers, and process the relevant data for the sole purpose of providing our Services to them. We do that within limits and according to customers’ instructions and in line with our Terms of Services.

In this scenario i.e. when you as an end-user of a communication from one of our customers it means that the customer is the controller, and Icetrak is the processor. Any request we may receive from customers’ communication recipients regarding their rights related to our activities taken on behalf of our customers will be forwarded to customers, or the end-user will be asked to contact them directly.

When we act as a controller

This Privacy Notice describes the activities which Icetrak undertakes as a controller. Icetrak is a controller when we process personal data for our own purposes and do not act on behalf of someone else.
