Cleanfox user protection policy

1. PREAMBLE
Foxintelligence by NielsenIQ publishes Cleanfox, a free service which makes it easier for you to manage your email accounts by offering you a tool that cleans your mailbox and automatically deletes your newsletters. Foxintelligence is part of Nielsen Consumer LLC (NielsenIQ), based in Chicago, Illinois.

In return for this free service, with your consent, we will extract transactional data from user mailboxes that allows us to establish statistical studies marketed with various economic operators (companies, associations, schools, and universities) to improve their products and services to refine their knowledge of the markets. We guarantee you in this respect that we do not communicate any data for advertising targeting purposes, profiling or reidentification.

To clean your mailbox and to perform statistical analyzes and the production of our reports, we must carry out some processing of its users' personal data. We therefore act as a data controller, in that we determine the means and purposes of the processing of your data.

As such, we undertake to comply with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). GDPR Article 12 requires us to inform you of the characteristics of the processing that we carry out with your data and the rights that you have in relation to it.
2. PURPOSE
The purpose of this Cleanfox Privacy Policy is to fulfill our obligation to be transparent and provide information by making you aware of the information required by the GDPR.
3. RESPECT FOR YOUR PRIVACY
We access your email account for the sole purposes of identifying newsletters so that you can delete them and identifying your transactional emails in order to quantify and extract information about your online transactions. The extracted data obtained enables us to offer market research studies for statistical, research, investment, or educational purposes.

Under no circumstances do we access the contents of your personal communications. With regard to transactional emails, we extract data automatically from them without leveraging human intervention, unless we update our filtering and data extraction tools, in which case only a limited part of our teams may have limited access to these emails.

When we prepare studies and share insights with our clients, we use tools and methods that are designed to ensure that there is no reasonable possibility of identifying you. For example, we will combine data obtained from you with data obtained from other participants in order to produce reports with aggregated data from which you cannot be reasonably identified; or studies based upon modeled data with projections based on demographic and behavioral characteristics that look at a sample group of people and then predict what people with similar characteristics or preferences would want to buy.
