Please read carefully to ensure your startup goes as smooth as possible. Need more help? Please contact us.
You understand and agree that as part of the Service, you may receive certain communications from us, such as account creation confirmations, service announcements, administrative messages, and any of the opt-in newsletters. You will be able to opt-out of most of these communications but not others (such as those concerning your account, displays, users, and other administrative or monitoring matters). SmartSign2Go promises to never rent or sell your personal information, and you will never receive an email from a third party as a result of your relationship with us unless we explicitly ask and you explicitly opt-in to do so.
When you use SmartSign2Go, you trust us with your information. This Privacy Policy is meant to help you understand what data we collect, why we collect it, and what we do with it. This is important; we hope you will take time to read it carefully. And remember, you can find controls to manage your information on your company’s Settings page (you can find the link to this page at the top of your Dashboard).
There are different ways you can use our services – to communicate with your customers, inform personnel, or create new content. You share information with us, for example, by creating an account and creating content. As you use our services, we want you to be informed on how we’re using information and the ways in which you can protect your privacy.
Our Privacy Policy explains:
We’ve tried to keep it as simple as possible, but if you’re not familiar with terms like cookies, IP addresses, and browsers, then read about this first. Your privacy matters to SmartSign2Go, so whether you are new or a long-time user, please do take the time to get to know our practices – and if you have any questions, contact us!
At SmartSign2Go, we believe that the less information we know about you, the better. After all, it is impossible to lose, misuse, or abuse information we don’t have. To the extent that we have control over your data or data about you, we see ourselves as custodians of that data on your behalf.
We use your data solely to provide you with services in which you enroll. Our business is providing digital signage services to you, the customer. We have no desire or interest in using or transfer the limited data we acquire for any other purposes.
We collect information to provide a better user experience for you specifically. From basic stuff like which language, you speak and your name and email to identify and contact you to more complex things like billing information.
We collect the following types of data in the following ways:
Signage Data is data that users enter and upload into our service to use as signage content. This data can only be managed and modified over an HTTPS connection that requires a valid username/password combination to establish. This data is stored on Amazon AWS data servers and is backed up daily to two different geographical locations on alternate days. The Signage Data is transferred for playback to the players using an HTTP connection since it is considered to be for public consumption when shown on screens. It is possible to protect Signage Data that is transferred to players for playback when using the Pro subscription.
For example, we require you to sign up for an account (either a trial or paid) to use our service. When you do, we’ll ask for personal information, like your name, company name, and email address. For a paid subscription, additional information such as telephone number or credit card.
We retain the right to hold and use Service Data to provide our services, report usage, and provide our payment processors with the information they need to process payments.
We collect information about the services that you use and how you use them. This information includes:
The information we collect when you are signed in to SmartSign2Go is not associated with any third-party service or data sets.
We basically use the information that you give us and that we collect to offer you the best experience of our service, improve and extend our services, and protect SmartSign2Go and our users.
When you contact SmartSign2Go, we will keep a record of your communication to help solve any issues you might be facing. We may use your email address to inform you about our services, such as letting you know about upcoming changes or improvements.
We use information collected from cookies and other technologies to improve your user experience and the overall quality of our services and to help in supporting our users when they report problems or proactively analyze trends to prevent issues.
We will ask for your consent before using information for a purpose other than those that are set out in this Privacy Policy.
SmartSign2Go processes personal information on our servers in several countries around the world. We may process your personal information on a server located outside the country where you live.
People have different privacy concerns. Our goal is to be clear about what information we collect so that you can make meaningful choices about how it is used. For example, you can:
Review and control your personal information tied to your SmartSign2Go account by using the Settings page (you can find the link to that page at the top of your Dashboard if you are an administrator, if you are not an administrator, please contact the administrator within your company).
You may also set your browser to block all cookies, including cookies associated with our service, or to indicate when a cookie is being set by us. However, it’s important to remember that you might see small differences in how our service functions if your cookies are disabled. For example, we may not remember your dashboard status.
Although most users intend to use SmartSign2Go to publish/share information with an audience, it may not be appropriate in all circumstances to share all the information that SmartSign2Go enables you to. SmartSign2Go offers means to mitigate this risk but cannot prevent its users from unintended sharing of secret or inappropriate content.
Information once shared by SmartSign2Go may be forever part of the public domain. This is the inherent flip side of the technology that SmartSign2Go is built upon and offers the many benefits that SmartSign2Go users can leverage.
For accounts that use a Smart or Full subscription, the URL of a SmartSign2Go channel is enough to play back the content that is published/shared on that channel. The Pro subscription offers protection against unwanted/unintended playback. This protection has to be configured on the company settings page.
SmartSign2Go offers integrations with a number of third-party services, like YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, Google Calendar, Microsoft Calendar, etc. If you choose to use any of these within our Service, you should be aware that the privacy statements of those services also apply. When you like to retrieve your own data from those services, SmartSign2Go uses industry standards authentication and authorization methods, like OAuth2, so that SmartSign2Go can securely retrieve that data on your behalf. SmartSign2Go will not ask for and therefore will not store your login information for such third party services. The access you’ve granted SmartSign2Go this way can always be revoked from your company settings page.
SmartSign2Go has integration capabilities with all kinds of external platforms, such as Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Google Calendar, Microsoft Calendar and more. Access to these services is obtained by you, the user, giving permission to the platform via the “add account” procedure. The platform provides us with a so-called authorization token that allows us to retrieve the desired information on your behalf. You will never have to enter your login details for these platforms in SmartSign2Go and we never store them. Also, you can revoke the granted access rights at any time; both in SmartSign2Go and on the external platform. Finally, the authorization code is always securely stored on our servers and cannot be distilled from the code running in the web browser.
The data retrieved on your behalf is in no way stored in our systems, nor do we apply any analysis or processing to it, other than applying the desired filters for its playback on the currently running signage presentation. The data is never provided to third parties. The data is not viewed by humans unless it is part of a support request from you, the customer.
Provider specific references
Whenever you use our services, we aim to provide you with full access to your personal information. If that information is wrong, we strive to give you ways to update it quickly or delete it – unless we must keep that information for legitimate business or legal purposes. When updating your personal information, we may ask you to verify your identity before we can act on your request. A user with limited rights might have to ask a user with administrator rights within the company to change the information for him/her.
We may reject requests that are unreasonably repetitive, require disproportionate technical effort (for example, developing a new system or fundamentally changing an existing practice), risk the privacy of others, or would be extremely impractical (for instance, requests concerning information residing on backup systems).
Where we can provide information, access and correction, we will do so for free, except where it would require a disproportionate effort. We aim to maintain our services in a manner that protects information from accidental or malicious destruction. Because of this, after you delete information from our services, we may not immediately delete residual copies from our active servers and may not remove information from our backup systems.
Your Secure and Service data are held by third-party data processors, who provide us with hosting and other infrastructure services. The locations of these are described below. Links to descriptions of relevant policies and certifications of each of these parties are given.

We do not share personal information with companies, organizations, and individuals outside of SmartSign2Go unless one of the following circumstances applies:
If SmartSign2Go is involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, we will continue to ensure the confidentiality of any personal information and give affected users notice before personal information is transferred or becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
We work hard to protect SmartSign2Go and our users from unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure, or destruction of information we hold. In particular:
If the confidentiality of customer data is breached, we recognize our responsibility to our customers and to the public to disclose the nature of the risk and provide a transparent account of the events without undue delay. At a bare minimum, we must inform the applicable supervisory authorities as required by law and regulation.
Our Privacy Policy applies to all of the services offered by SmartSign2Go.
Our Privacy Policy does not apply to services offered by other companies or individuals, including the companies of our users and products or sites that may be displayed to you on devices used by our users. Our Privacy Policy does not cover the information practices of other companies and organizations who advertise our services, and who may use cookies and other technologies to serve and offer relevant ads.
We regularly review our compliance with our Privacy Policy. When we receive formal written complaints, we will contact the person who made the complaint to follow up. We work with the appropriate regulatory authorities, including local data protection authorities, to resolve any complaints regarding the transfer of personal data that we cannot resolve with our users directly.
We want happy customers, not trapped ones. We will not lock you out of your own data. You may export your SmartSign2Go data at any time you wish during the life of your account. If you discontinue payment, your account will enter a frozen (read-only) state for a period not less than two months, during which you may still retrieve and export your data after you have contacted us via email.
Export is limited to a part of your Signage Data (images, videos).
You have the right to know what we know about you and to see how that data is handled. All Signage and Service data that we have about an account and its users is accessible to the account owner via her/his dashboard. The only data that is not available is the detailed status of the payment process. Any relevant exceptions to those processes will be communicated to you as soon as possible since they mean we did not receive your subscription fee.
You can send requests for information to our support department that we will gladly fulfill; however, to protect customer privacy, such requests must be carefully authenticated beyond demonstrating the control of the customer’s email address.
As we are merely custodians of your data, account owners have the right to instruct us to remove data permanently from our systems. To ensure that no one’s data is deleted without their consent, you must first end your subscription. After the subscription has ended, the account owner may contact us and ask for the data to be expunged. Once the request is authenticated, the data will be removed from our active systems within 72 hours.
Disaster recovery and data availability requirements mean that SmartSign2Go has a legitimate interest in maintaining secure and immutable backups. Erasure requests will leave those backups untouched, and we will only remove data from backups if legally compelled to.
SmartSign2Go does not use profiling of Users based on Service Data
Our Privacy Policy may change from time to time. We will not reduce your rights under this Privacy Policy without your explicit consent. We will post any privacy policy changes on this page, and if the changes are significant, we will provide a more prominent notice (including, for certain services, email notification of privacy policy changes). We will also keep prior versions of this Privacy Policy in an archive for your review.

Your data is stored through Shopify’s data storage, databases and the general Shopify application. They store your data on a secure server behind a firewall.
Payment:
If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, then Shopify stores your credit card data. It is encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as is necessary to complete your purchase transaction. After that is complete, your purchase transaction information is deleted.
All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover.
PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our store and its service providers.

SECTION 5 – THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
In general, the third-party providers used by us will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us.
However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies in respect to the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase-related transactions.
For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled by these providers.
In particular, remember that certain providers may be located in or have facilities that are located a different jurisdiction than either you or us. So if you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third-party service provider, then your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located.
As an example, if you are located in Canada and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, then your personal information used in completing that transaction may be subject to disclosure under United States legislation, including the Patriot Act.
Once you leave our store’s website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our website’s Terms of Service.
