  1. Information we collect
  • Registration information; You need a CodeNOW account before you can use the Service. When you register for an account, we collect your first and last name, username, password and email address. If you choose to register by using a third-party account (such as your Google account, Facebook account or similar service), please see “Information from third parties” below;
  • Billing information; If you make a payment to CodeNOW, we require you to provide your billing details, a name, address, email address and financial information corresponding to your selected method of payment (e.g. a credit card number and expiration date or a bank account number). If you provide a billing address, we will regard that as the location of the account holder to determine which CodeNOW entity with whom you contract and the sales tax, if applicable, to be applied to your purchase.
  • Account settings; You can set various preferences and personal details on pages like your account settings page (or in your account settings page for our other products as applicable). For example, your default language, time zone and communication preferences (e.g. opting in or out of receiving marketing communications from CodeNOW)
  • User / Collaborator’s information: If you invite another person to a CodeNOW Platform account or project, we will ask you for the name and email address of that person. We will automatically send that person an invitation email to visit the CodeNOW Site, to create an account or join your project. CodeNOW stores this information for the sole purpose of sending this email and tracking the success of our referral program.
  • Information specifically provided by you; You might provide us with your contact information, whether through use of our Service, a form on our website, an interaction with our sales or customer support team, or a response to one of CodeNOW’s surveys. It included for example, but not only: name and surname,  telephone number, email address, physical address, login username, password, or other information that you voluntarily share with us.
  • Usage information; We collect usage information about you whenever you interact with our Services. It includes for example, but not only: which  webpages you visit, what you click on, when you perform those actions, what language preference you have, what you bought, your device, IP address, browser information, cookie information, geographic location, and traffic data.
  • Device and browser data; We collect information from the device and application you use to access our Service. Device data mainly means your IP address, operating system version, device type, device ID/MAC address, system and performance information, and browser type. If you are on a mobile device we also collect the UUID for that device;
  • Cookies; We use first-party and third-party cookies and tracking services that employ cookies and page tags (also known as web beacons) to collect data about visitors to our websites. This data includes usage and user statistics. Emails sent by CodeNOW or by users through our Service also include page tags that allow the sender to collect information about who opened those emails and clicked on links in them. 
  • Log Data; Like most websites today, our web servers keep log files that record data each time a device accesses those servers. The log files contain data about the nature of each access, including originating IP addresses, internet service providers, the files viewed on our site (e.g., HTML pages, graphics, etc.), operating system versions, device type and timestamps;
  • Referral information; If you arrive at a CodeNOW website from an external source (such as a link on another website or in an email), we record information about the source that referred you to us;
  • Information from third parties and integration partners; We may receive your personal information from third-party providers, that you decided to use in connection with our Service.

  1. How is the information protected

We maintain appropriate technical and organisational security safeguards designed to protect your personal data against accidental, unlawful or unauthorised destruction, loss, alteration, access, disclosure or use.

We will notify you of any data breach that is likely to have unfavourable consequences for your privacy according to applicable law.


  1. Cookies

We use specific cookies on a legitimate interest basis to improve and ensure correct provision of our services (cookies only provide basic functions).

A cookie is a small text file that is sent by the website being visited to the browser. It allows the website to record information about your visit such as your preferred language and other settings. This information makes it possible for us to constantly improve our website to enhance its functionality and user experience.

Some cookies allow us to connect your activities while browsing on our website from the moment you open the web browser until you close it. These cookies, which are deleted as soon as you close the browser window, are called temporary. 

Other cookies are stored on a user’s device for a given period of time and are activated each time you visit the website that generated them. These are persistent cookies. We use persistent cookies to make sure we always respond to each user’s specific needs as quickly as possible. However, they are not used to establish the identity of the user of the website.

We also use a pixel tag on our website – a tiny image that operates similarly to a cookie. As opposed to cookies, which are stored on your device, a pixel is permanently added to the website. 

Both technologies are referred to as cookies in this document.

These are used for ad personalization and remarketing purposes. We allow third parties to store cookies on your device that may be used to:

  • show you personalized offers and targeted ads on social media and advertising platforms on websites other than our own;
  • connect with social networks such as Facebook and to show you personalized offers and targeted ads on these social networks or on websites other than our own.

Subject to your consent, we also provide social networks and advertising platforms with your behavioural data for the purposes of showing you personalized offers and targeted ads on social media and advertising platforms on websites other than our own. However, we never disclose your identification details to such partners.

  1. Your rights regarding personal data processing

If we regard you as an identified or identifiable individual, as a data subject, you have the following rights:

  1. The right to access your personal data

You have the right to know what personal data we hold about you as well as how, for what purposes and for how long we process it. You also have the right to know where we obtain your personal data, who we disclose it to, who processes it in addition to us, and what other rights you have regarding the processing of your personal data. Such information is available in this document called Privacy Policy. If you are unsure about what of your personal data we process, you have the right to confirmation as to whether or not we process such personal data pertaining to you, and where we do, you may request access to such personal data. The right of access also gives you the right to obtain a copy of your personal data. We will provide you with one complimentary copy thereof, additional copies are subject to a charge.

  1. The right to have you personal data corrected
    Should you discover that your personal data that we process is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to have it corrected or completed by us without undue delay.
  1. The right to erasure of personal data
    In specific cases, you may request us to erase your personal data. Your personal data will be deleted without undue delay by us if any of the below occurs:
  • We no longer need your personal data for the purposes for which we processed it;
  • You revoke your consent to the processing of such personal data where your consent is required and we have no additional reason to continue processing your data;
  • You exercise your right to object to the processing of your personal data (see section Right to Object Against the Processing of Data below) that we process on a legitimate interest basis and we conclude there is no legitimate interest any longer that justifies the processing thereof; 
  • You believe our processing of personal data no longer complies with the generally applicable legislation.

Please, note that even when any of the above occurs, it does not mean all your personal data will be deleted instantly. Your right cannot be exercised if we are obliged to continue processing your personal data to comply with our legal obligations or to determine and/or exercise and/or defend any of our rights or claims.

  1. The right to restrict processing
    In some cases, in addition to your right to erasure of personal data, you may also exercise your right to restrict processing thereof. This right may, in some circumstances, entitle you to designate a specific set of your personal data that is not to be subject to any kind of processing. However, as opposed to the right to erasure, such restriction will only be in place for a certain period of time, not indefinitely. We must restrict processing of your personal data if any of the below occurs:
  • You contest the accuracy of your personal data, in which case we must restrict processing of your personal data until we agree on what data is accurate;
  • We process your personal data without a legal reason to do so including, without limitation, where data is processed beyond what is required from us, but you prefer restriction to erasure;
  • We no longer need to process your personal data for the purposes given above but you need it to determine and/or exercise and/or defend any of your rights or claims; 
  • You raise an objection to the processing of your personal data, in which case we must restrict the processing of your personal data for as long as we investigate if your objection is valid.
  1. The right to object to the processing of personal data

You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data carried out by us on a legitimate interest basis. If we process your personal data for marketing purposes, we will stop doing so. In other cases, we will stop processing your personal data unless we have a serious and legitimate reason to continue doing so.

  1. The right to data portability
    You have the right to receive all of your personal data that you have provided to us and that we process subject to your consent and to perform the agreement. Your data will be provided in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. Alternatively, you can request that your personal data be transferred to another data controller.
  2. The right not to be subject to automated decision making
    You have the right not to be subject to a decision based on automated processing including profiling when such a decision incurs legal effects, or similarly significant consequences for you.
  3. The right to complain with the Office for Personal Data Protection
    Exercising your rights as described above is without prejudice to your right to file a complaint with the relevant data protection authority. You may exercise this right such as if you believe we process your personal data without authorization or contrary to the generally applicable legislation. A complaint about how we process your personal data can be filed with the Office for Personal Data Protection (www.uoou.cz) with its registered office at Pplk. Sochora 27, 170 00 Prague 7, Czech Republic. 

Where personal data is processed subject to your consent as prescribed by Article 7 of the GDPR, you can revoke your consent anytime in Privacy Settings in the website footer.
