The purposes of the processing are the following:

3. Regular sources of information

We receive information about you when you provide it through using Steerpath Smart Office or through the information that the corporate registration and login provides.

The Service may use occupancy sensors for monitoring room or seat occupancy. The sensor does not identify the user, but the occupancy data may be combined with booking data. If the user is part of a booking, the occupancy sensor data may be combined with the booking information. If there is no booking the data will be handled anonymously.

7. Personal data stored in Steerpath backend

Steerpath Smart Office supports SSO sign on from Microsoft and Google. Steerpath does not duplicate a person's calendar or booking information or data associated with their Microsoft or Google accounts in the Steerpath backend. Beyond name and email address, Steerpath primarily stores only data that is not available or otherwise exists in Microsoft or Google platforms.

Personal data stored in Steerpath backend:

  • Name

  • Email address

  • Profile picture if set by user

  • App settings (language selection etc. from profile page)

  • Weekly planner input (at office, remote, other)

If the user shares their location:

  • Only the last location is stored on the Steerpath server, and it is only stored in memory and it disappears after 15 minutes.

  • For clarity: Steerpath does not collect the history of shared locations and the current location is only stored temporarily and only stored in memory.

If Steerpath Indoor Positioning is used in the organisation, the following diagnostic information is collected unless the organization explicitly opts out:

  • Beacons the user’s device has seen and the signal strengths. 

  • Calculated position where the beacons were seen.

  • Device id

Examples of personal data NOT stored in Steerpath backend when using Azure or G-Suite calendars:

  • Calendar entries

  • Bookings

  • Contacts

  • Phone number, physical address or other personal details

  • Any past location data tied to the user profile

8. Data transfers outside the EU

The information is not stored outside the European Union or the EEA. No data transfers are made from the service user register outside the EU or the European Economic Area. 

However, regardless of the data centers we choose in Europe, it is possible that we or the service providers used by us may, in some circumstances, transfer your information outside the EU / EEA. This can happen, for example, if data is duplicated outside the EU / EEA to the United States so that your data is secure even in the event of a failure of the main servers. We will ensure that the necessary measures are taken to prevent the transfer of your personal data to a party outside the EU or the EEA who does not comply with the legal requirements for the processing of personal data. 

If we are required to disclose personal data under applicable mandatory law, personal data may be transferred outside the European Union and the European Economic Area.
