Sparekey runs on our servers in the EU under the GDPR. We sign a data processing agreement with you and collect only what is needed to let a customer in and invoice them.
Who is responsible for what
You are the controller: you decide why customer data is collected and how long it is kept, publish your privacy notice and answer customers’ requests. We are the processor: we handle the data only to run the system for you.
- We sign a data processing agreement before launch: what we process, why, for how long and with which services.
- We use the data only for bookings, door codes, messages, invoices and statistics. We never sell it.
- Other services involved: Stripe, the text message provider, the e-mail service and, where your lock uses one, the lock maker’s service.
Where the data is kept
On our servers in the EU.
What a booking collects
- the customer’s name, phone number (for the code) and e-mail (for the confirmation and invoice);
- the location, date and time they booked;
- whether the payment went through, and the invoice.
Card details never reach Sparekey: customers pay on Stripe’s page and we only receive the result. No health data, no fingerprints or face scans.
Door codes that expire
Each booking gets its own code, valid only for the booked slot. A forwarded code does not open the door on another day.
Your data is yours
Export your bookings and revenue at any time, free of charge.
What stays with you as the operator
Whatever system you use:
- A camera needs a notice for customers, a reason for recording and a limit on how long recordings are kept. See cameras in an unstaffed gym.
- Your privacy notice and booking terms tell customers what you collect and why. We help with the parts that concern the system.
- Customers’ requests to see or delete their data come to you. Where the system holds the data, we handle it for you.
