Icetrak
Limited is responsible for processing your personal data.
The Controller is Icetrak
Ltd, 2 Nimrod House, Malvern,

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.
