Updated Mar 2, 2024

BarcodeByte, Attn. Filippo Tortomasi, Via Pietro Papaleo 12, 90145 Palermo PA, Italy, as owner of the website barcodetopc.com (hereinafter, the “Website”), as Data Controller for the processing of personal data of users browsing the Website (hereinafter, “Users”) as Software provider of apps (hereinafter, “Products”), below provides the Privacy Policy that describes the policies and procedures on the collection, use and disclosure of Your information when You use the Website and Products and tells You about Your privacy rights and how the law protects You.

Introduction

When you use the “Barcode to PC: Wi-Fi scanner app” to scan barcodes, capture images, or log GPS location data, your personal data, including GPS information, is strictly confined to your device and local network. We ensure that the data you capture—whether it’s barcodes, images, or location data—remains under your control. It is never shared with third parties and is solely used to synchronize within your local network where you’ve installed our Products. However, we share anonymized usage data with third-party services for analytics purposes only.

Applicability Of This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to “Barcode to PC server” and the mobile application “Barcode to PC: Wi-Fi scanner app” (collectively, the “Products”), available for download at barcodetopc.com and other Barcode to PC websites (collectively, the “Sites”) and other interactions (e.g., customer service inquiries,
user conferences, etc.) you may have with Barcode to PC. If you do not agree with the terms, do not access or use the
Products, Sites or any other aspect of Barcode to PC’s business.

This policy applies to the Company’s employees, contractors and officers.

The Company has a contract with all Data Processors that it uses in compliance with Article 28 & Article 29
of the GDPR, and ensures that all Data Processors are compliant with Data Protection Legislation.

privacy practices. We encourage you to learn about the privacy practices of those third parties.

Safeguards

When you give us personal information, we take steps to make sure that it’s treated securely.

Non-sensitive details (your email address etc.) are sent normally over the Internet, and this can never be
guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot
guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive
your information, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.

We use industry-standard encryption to protect your data in transit. This is commonly referred to as transport
layer security (“TLS”) or secure socket layer (“SSL”) technology.

Once we receive your data, we protect it on our servers using a combination of technical, physical, and logical
security safeguards. The security of the data stored locally in any of our Products installed on your computing
device requires that you make use of the security features of your device. We recommend that you take the
appropriate steps to secure all computing devices that you use in connection with our Site and Products.

The Company takes the security of your data very seriously and works to protect your data from loss, misuse and
unauthorised access or disclosure.

All staff and officers who handle Relevant Data are aware of this policy and have been given training in how to
correctly collect, process, store and delete data. The Company holds a log of when staff training was
undertaken and updates it on an annual basis.

Data Breaches

All breaches will be reported to the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours, unless the data was
anonymised or encrypted or if it has a particularly high risk.

Breaches of this policy by staff, contractors, officers of the Company will be dealt with under the Company’s
grievance and disciplinary policy and may lead to a disciplinary sanction.

If Barcode to PC learns of a security system breach, we may attempt to notify you and provide information on protective
steps, if available, through the email address that you have provided to us or by posting a notice on the Site.
Depending on where you live, you may have a legal right to receive such notices in writing.
