GDPR Compliance

At Hoculus, we take the protection and handling of personal information very seriously. Making sure that Merchants (and their Customers) can trust that our team will keep their personal and financial information safe is vital, and frankly, something we obsess over each and every day.

Hoculus as Processor

Hoculus primarily acts as a Processor on behalf of our Merchants (who are Controllers) in relation to data we receive and process from Merchants about their Customers, as described in our updated Privacy Statement. A Processor takes personal data on behalf of a Controller and acts on it as the Controller has requested. In Hoculusʼ case, we process the personal data of our Merchantʼs Customers to help facilitate a transaction between the Merchant and Customer. For example, our Recurring Orders app reads Shopify customer and order data to be able to generate and report on purchased subscriptions. Where Hoculus acts as a Processor, Merchants (as Controllers) are responsible for having a Legal Basis for Processing. Hoculus only processes personal data in this capacity on the instructions of Merchants.

Hoculus as Controller

In some limited circumstances, Hoculus may act as a Controller. For example, where we process a Merchantʼs personal data when a Merchant installs one of our apps, submits a form indicating interest in Hoculus services (such as a quote request for our Professional Services, or a pre-sales support request), or signs up to our email list. Where Hoculus acts as a Controller, we have implied consent to process a Merchantʼs personal data when installing one of our apps, or submitting a form indicating interest in Hoculus services. We may also have express consent to process your data. This would happen if you sign up to our email list: we tell you what youʼre signing up for in plain English.

Protection of Personal Data

Weʼve completed an audit of our physical, technical, and administrative security measures to make sure we have implemented appropriate and reasonable measures to ensure that personal data weʼre entrusted with is kept safe. One important outcome of this audit was the minimization and redaction of information that could potentially be used to identify someone personally. The best way to avoid a data breach is to not have that data in the first place; weʼve instituted policies to ensure that we only keep Customer (or Merchant) information for as long as is reasonable and necessary. At Hoculus, this means that Customer personal data is redacted after a Merchant uninstalls one of our apps. A Data Protection Impact Assessment helps us assess the risk that apps, services and features could pose to an Data Subjectʼs personal data. This process is undertaken as we develop new services and functionality to make sure weʼre building with privacy in mind. Weʼve also reviewed processes of teams across the company to make sure weʼre handling personal data in a way that meets the high standards set by the GDPR. One of our biggest undertakings has been to review our relationships with the vendors or subprocessors used by our team that could potentially come in contact with personal data. This includes server hosts, support ticketing software, blog providers, and everything in between. Weʼve taken steps to ensure they also meet the requirements set out by the GDPR, appropriate to their role in the chain of processing. For example, weʼve implemented Data Processing Agreements / Addendums with such vendors (where necessary). These Data Processing Agreements/Addendums also incorporate standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission to ensure any onward transfer of this data to countries without adequate privacy laws (as determined by the European Commission) is done safely. Training sessions have also been held with members of our staff to ensure that they are educated on their legal obligations as it pertains to personal data, and to ensure their commitment to the ideals of privacy and respect for personal data being at the core of working alongside Merchants.

Data Subject Rights

One of the most relevant components of the GDPR is the rights of Data Subjects. A set of rights granting people the ability to exercise control over their personal data. The three most relevant ones to you as an eCommerce entrepreneur are likely the right of access, the right to rectification, and the right of erasure.

Right of Access

The right of access allows a Data Subject (i.e. the person about whom data has been collected or stored) to request from a Data Controller any data they have collected relating to that person, along with information on if and how it has been processed. In plain language, this is a “Give me everything you have on me” type of request. The Data Controller (in many cases, the Merchant) is responsible for providing the data from their systems, including any which may be held/stored by their third-party Processors. If a Merchant receives a request relating to the right of access for data that may be held by Hoculus, they should contact info@hoculus.com for assistance.

Right to Rectification

The right to rectification allows Data Subjects to request their personal data be modified or corrected. As a Merchant, this may simply mean you make the change as requested in your eCommerce platform. If you have a concern relating to a rectification request as it exists in a Hoculus app or service, contact info@hoculus.com.

Right to Erasure

The right to erasure, commonly referred to as the “Right to be forgotten” means Data Subjects have the right to ask for all of their personal data be deleted by a Controller. This means, as with each of the other rights, the Controller is responsible for their own records, and must ensure Processors with whom they work also delete this personʼs data. Fulfilling requests for erasure and deletion are handled through an email to info@hoculus.com.
