Privacy & Cookie Policy
How we handle your data

This is the Privacy & Cookies Policy (the “Policy”) of Purple Transformation Group (Company No. 13145293) under the laws of England and Wales whose registered office is at The Granary, Kingston House Estate, Kingston Bagpuize, Oxfordshire, England, OX13 5AX (hereafter “PTG”, “we” or “us”). This Policy describes the ways in which PTG collects and uses information about you when you access and use its SiYtE software (the “Software”), as well as what data is collected and used by PTG in connection with the Software itself.

PTG may change this Policy at any time and, where you are a user of the Software, when this happens we will notify you of any changes to this Policy via the Software platform, with any material changes being notified to you via e-mail. The changes will apply to your use of the Software after we have notified you. If you do not wish to accept the new Policy you should stop using the Software. If you continue to use the Software after the changes, your continued use of the Software shows us your agreement to be bound by the new Policy.

If we have collected information about you to incorporate into the Software, unless you object to the information we have collected about you (which you can do as set out in this Policy), you agree to us collecting and using such information as set out in this Policy.

This Policy was last changed in April 2022.

  1. ICO registration:

    For the purposes of data protection legislation, PTG is the controller for the processing of your personal data and has registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (“ICO”). PTG’s registration number is ZB282656.

  2. Information we use about you if you engage with us to use our Software (as a customer admin or individual user):

    What information do we collect and process?

    • Your e-mail address

    • Name

    • Department/Role

    • A user access token placed via the use of a cookie as set out below

    When do we collect this?

    When you choose to engage us to use our Software

    How do we use this information?

    To allow you to access and use our Software

    Our reasons

    Contractual necessity and/or legitimate interests. We need this information to authenticate you as a user and allow you to access and use our Software

  3. Information we use about you within the Software:

    1. What information do we collect and process?

      Image data being snapshots of a particular station area which may include individual people in such image. Such individuals will, however, immediately have their faces blurred and so be anonymised upon our first processing of this image

      When do we collect this?

      On a daily basis.

      How do we use this information?

      In order for the customer to get a visual representation of the particular station area in order to better understand the analytics data provided by the Software

      Our reasons

      Legitimate interests. This legitimate interests based processing does not outweigh the rights/freedoms of the passengers because: (a) in a very high percentage of cases a passenger wouldn’t be able to be recognised anyway; and (b) even where they were to be able to be recognised the blurring of their faces happens so quickly that the small risk of someone being able to recognise such passenger is outweighed by the benefits the use of the Software has on that passenger in relation to e.g., making the station safer to use, easier to use and so forth moving forward.

    2. What information do we collect and process?

      Anonymous analytics data

      When do we collect this?

      On a continuous basis

      How do we use this information?

      As the core feature of our Software i.e., providing analytics

      Our reasons

      N/A – the data is anonymous
