- ABOUT JAVNA SERVICES
JAVNA is a Communications Platform as a Services (CPaaS) provider. While providing Services to our customers and processing personal data, we act either as the controller or the processor, depending on the situation.
Our customers are mainly companies that integrate our Services into their business operations through their own software applications (via API) or using JAVNA Portal (“Customer User Portal” or “CUP”), our website interface. By using our cloud communications platform, our customers are able to send or exchange their communications with their end users using different communication channels (for example, SMS, email, Voice). We are not in direct relationship with our customers’ end users, so we will distribute these communications through telecom operators and other communications providers.
We act as the processor when processing personal data of individuals on behalf of our customers, and for the sole purpose of providing our Services to them. We do that within limits and according to customers’ instructions and in line with the Service terms and conditions, agreement for Services and/or data processing agreement concluded with the customer.
For example, when you, as an end user of our customer are the recipient of communication that our customer sent you by using our platform (such as an SMS message), we send that customer’s communications acting on behalf of our customer. That means that the customer is the controller, and JAVNA is the processor.
Any request we may receive from customers’ end users regarding their rights related to our activities taken on behalf of our customers will be forwarded to customers, or the end users will be asked to contact them directly.
In situations when we process personal data for our own purposes and do not act on behalf of someone else, we act as the controller and we are committed to processing that data as described in this Privacy Policy.

5.1. When we provide the Services to our customers
5.1.1. To create the customer’s account and enable the customer to start using our Services:
What personal data do we collect?
We collect customer’s “account data”, which is data that relates to the customer’s relationship with JAVNA.
If you sign up for our Services, in order to create a customer’s “account” we ask for your name, contact details (e.g., phone number, email address, country), and certain related information such as your company’s name, industry and your business role, as well as your login details (e.g., username and password, or API key).
We also collect names, contact details and login details of customer’s personnel or any other individual authorized by the customer to log into and utilize our Services connected with the customer’s account (a “user” of the customer’s account).
Within the customer’s account we also collect billing information (such as billing address, information on whether the customer is a legal entity or an individual, prepaid or postpaid subscriber, and further information if we are legally required to, and depending on each country’s legislation).
When doing business with legal persons, we may collect personal data (such as name, business contact details, position in the company) related to their representatives and other personnel that will be our contact points.
Collecting your name, contact details, login details, and billing information is necessary for us in order to enter into an agreement for Services with you. Therefore, we will not be able to provide you with our Services without collecting this basic information. If you sign up for a free trial account, you are not required to enter your billing information unless and until you decide to continue with a paid subscription to our Services.
How do we collect personal data?
If you are our customer as an individual, we obtain this data directly from you. If your organization is our customer, we may obtain your personal data either directly from you or via your organization.

However, if you personally are our contractual counterpart, we process your data because it is necessary for the performance of an agreement for Services, or in order to take steps, at your request, prior to entering into the agreement.
5.1.2. To enable customers to exchange their communications by the use of our Services and to ensure the security of our network and Services:
What data do we collect?
We collect traffic data. Traffic data is data that is processed for the conveyance of a communication exchanged by using our Services or for billing related to that communication, and it includes data on the routing, type, duration, and time of the communication. So, this data encompasses data used to trace and identify the source and destination of a communication (including customer end user’s telephone number or email address, depending on the Service provided).

If you, as our customer, are an individual, the processing of your personal data is necessary for the performance of our agreement for Services. If our customer is a legal person, we rely on our legitimate interest to process personal data.
We also process traffic data to prevent spam and fraud, for troubleshooting and detecting problems with the network, and to settle interconnection payments with telecom operators and other communications providers. Should we have a billing dispute with our customer or with telecoms or other communications providers, we may need to use traffic data related to routing (including the end user’s telephone number or email address, as well as the customer’s IP address) in order to resolve it. The carrying out of these activities is our legitimate interest.
In order to comply with our legal obligations, we may be obliged to retain records containing communications related data as stipulated in the relevant national data retention provisions regulating the law enforcement matter, and to share them upon government request.
We collect logs on your activities created during your use of our Services and connect this information with the customer’s account details in order to secure customer’s account, to prevent or detect fraudulent activities, and to ensure the security of the JAVNA network. This information is necessary to construct the timeframe of user’s activities in the case of security-related incidents, and to be able to take adequate steps for mitigation. IT security is crucial for us, so for these activities we rely on our legitimate interest and on the legitimate interest of our customers to maintain and improve the security of our network and Services.

If you accept it, we will collect further information so as to be able to conclude and execute an agreement with you. The further collection and processing of your personal data will be carried out to conclude an employment or internship agreement with you or in order to take certain steps, at your request, prior to entering into that agreement. You will be presented with an Javna privacy policy that applies to our staff where you can find relevant privacy information.
We may share your personal data within Javna (subsidiaries and affiliates). Since we are a global company, we may engage our subsidiaries and affiliates in which we have employed members of our recruitment team in order to complete the recruitment process.
How long do we keep your personal data?
Your recruitment-related personal data will be deleted after the expiration of the period for which you have provided us with your consent (or earlier if you withdraw it). These periods might differ across countries due to local legislation.
If legal matters such as litigation, law enforcement requests or government investigations require us to preserve records, including those containing personal information, for longer periods than you have consented to, then we will delete the records in question when we are no longer legally obligated to retain them.
- HOW AND WITH WHOM DO WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL DATA?
We may engage processors to facilitate us in the processing of your personal data through CRM (Customer Relationship Management), marketing, recruitment and other tools necessary for conduct our business activities or to assist us in providing you with our Services.
Before engaging a new processor, we perform security & privacy assessment of the processor, and we ensure that the processing of personal data is always regulated with written data processing agreements.
We may share your personal data within JAVNA Group companies (subsidiaries and affiliates). Since we are a global company, we may share your personal data with our subsidiaries and affiliates to complete internal procedures within our offices, to perform certain processing activities on a global scale or to support you in the use of our products and services. JAVNA subsidiaries and affiliates can be engaged as processors or in certain situations can act as joint controllers.
All JAVNA subsidiaries and affiliates will only use the personal data as described in this Privacy Policy. All intercompany processing of personal data is regulated by the JAVNA intercompany agreements on personal data processing and transfer and where applicable with standard contractual clauses of all relevant jurisdictions.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, as a rule, we do not share personal data with third parties except when necessary, such as:
- With telecom operators and other communications service providers when necessary for the set-up of proper routing and connectivity. We are able to deliver messages that our customers send to their end users, independent of where they are located, through our connections with telecoms and other communications providers operating all over the world, especially OTT ones such as Whatsapp, Facebook.
- With third-party service and technology providers, to the extent strictly necessary for them to perform specific actions on our behalf. We may share personal information with our trusted and verified third-party service providers, for example, in order to enable them to process payments for us or to prevent fraud.
- Due to relevant legislation. If we are presented with the legal obligation, we will share the data with third parties that are legally entitled and authorized to request it, such as for criminal procedures or because of threats to public security. As a communications provider, we are required to retain certain communications-related data for law enforcement purposes and will be required to share that data with authorized law enforcement authorities upon their request. Also, if we are under an obligation to demonstrate compliance with relevant accounting, financial and tax legislation, your data can be shared with auditors and tax authorities for those purposes.
- Targeted Advertising. We do not and will not sell, rent, or share in any other shape or form any information to a third party for advertising or similar marketing purposes. We do, however, use direct marketing through Google Adwords for our own purposes.
- APIs/SDKs. We may use third-party Application Program Interfaces (“APIs”) and software development kits (“SDKs”) as part of the functionality of our Services.
- Disclosure in the event of merger, sale, or other asset transfer. If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing due diligence, reorganization, bankruptcy, receivership, purchase or sale of assets, or transition of service to another provider, your information may be transferred as part of such a transaction, as permitted by law and/or contract.
- HOW DO WE CARRY OUT INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA?
We conduct our business operations globally, and sometimes we need to carry out international transfers of your personal data by providing your personal data to the parties specified in the section above. All international transfers are carried out ensuring the confidentiality and security of your personal data.
In addition, the international transfers of your personal data are subject to contractual restrictions in accordance with this privacy policy, including, where necessary, the implementation of contractual mechanisms such as standard contractual clauses for data transfers.
- HOW DO WE SECURE YOUR PERSONAL DATA?
JAVNA values your privacy. In order to protect personal data collected and processed by JAVNA we have invested in development, implementation, and constant improvement of a wide range of technical and organizational measures.
We take care to train all our staff in the field of privacy and security, starting from their first day in JAVNA through the onboarding process and continuously throughout their stay at JAVNA.
Before we engage any third-party vendor and service provider, we check their security practices and alignment with this privacy policy.
- DO WE CONDUCT AUTOMATED DECISION-MAKING, INCLUDING PROFILING, THAT SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECTS YOU?
No. We do not conduct any operation under which you would be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing that has legal or similarly significant effects for you, including profiling.
