How We Keep Your Personal Data Secure

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures in order to protect your personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, accidental loss or alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access and any other unlawful forms of processing. We aim to ensure that the level of security and the measures adopted to protect your personal data are appropriate for the risks presented by the nature and use of your personal data.

Why do we process your personal data

We use your personal data for the following purposes listed in this section. We are allowed to do so on certain legal bases (please see section ‘How is processing your data lawful‘ for further detail):

Type of data Why do we need it? Lawful basis for processing
License Records To track when you purchased a license and its current validity as well as the number of users to which it applies (multi-user licenses).
Visit https://www.iceni.com/user_license_login.htm to view your license records.
To comply with the software licensing agreement we have in place with you and because it is in our legitimate interests.
Activation Records To monitor the number of activations (installations) made with a specific license. This helps us to stop users making multiple activations with only a single-user license for example.
Visit https://www.iceni.com/user_license_login.htm to manage your machine activation records.
We have a legitimate interest in ensuring that licences are used within the agreed scope of the services.
User Records The TransPDF user record helps to identify a user when logging-in to the TransPDF system.
Your ‘My Account’ page contains a “Delete Account’ button which will remove all your data from the system within 24 hours.
To provide you with the services you request and because it is in our legitimate interests.
Translation Records
Name of the original document, source and destination languages.
This data is helpful when estimating throughput, diagnosing problems with the translation process as well as assisting with the calculation of usage charges. Once the PDF has been removed from the system, this data has no direct link to a user or any original PDF. The PDF name is the only connection to the original translation request. It is in our legitimate interest to use this data to ensure the quality of our services.
Credit Records We use this to record chargeable usage of the system. When a refund is requested by a user, this data is needed to identify and verify the specific translation request relevant to the refund. We also use this data to provide monthly and annual usage summaries to users as displayed in their ‘My Account’ page on the TransPDF website. To provide you with the services you request and because it is in our legitimate interests.
Cat Tool Usage We use this data to estimate the popularity of the specific CAT tool integrations we support. Anonymised usage data for a specific tool can be seen by some of the CAT tool vendors we work with. We have a legitimate interest in using this data to inform and/or improve our services.
Email address, first, last name When you purchase a license for Infix PDF Editor or sign-up to use TransPDF your name and email address are stored in a mailing list hosted by mailchimp.com.
The mailing list is used to send announcements of technical & feature upgrades to the relevant product or service. It is also used to inform of the availability of new ‘how-to’ guides related to TransPDF or Infix PDF Editor when we deem that it may be relevant to your purchase/enrolment.
Every email contains highly visible opt-out links which will remove you from the mailing list as well as an explanation from as to why you are receiving the email.
We have a legitimate interest in informing you of technical changes to the services you should be aware of, and offering you upgrades and other services similar than what you use.
