Privacy policy
What we do, and do not do, with personal data on this website.
Privacy policy
This website carries no advertising and no marketing tracking of any kind. It sets nothing on your device that you have not agreed to: it measures how the site is used only if you allow analytics, and it works exactly the same if you do not. It also takes orders, because a business can configure and buy a Success POS subscription here. This policy describes what happens when you visit the site, when you allow or refuse analytics, when you contact us, and when you order.
Who is responsible
The controller of the personal data described below is:
Success Payment S.A.
40D Rue de Clairefontaine, L-8460 Eischen, Luxembourg
RCS Luxembourg B299168 · VAT LU36855607
contact@success-payment.com ·
+352 28 14 01 01
For any question about personal data, including to exercise the rights set out below, write to dpo@success-payment.com.
Where this policy does not apply
Success POS is a till system. The information a restaurant records in it about its own staff and its own guests belongs to that restaurant, not to us: the restaurant decides what goes in and why, and we process it only on its instructions. For that data the restaurant is the controller and we are its processor, and the terms that govern it are the Success POS Data Processing Terms, not this policy.
This policy covers the personal data we decide about ourselves: visitors to this website, people who contact us, and the businesses that order from us.
What this website does not do
- No advertising or marketing tracking. No Google Ads tags, no remarketing, no Meta Pixel, no TikTok pixel, no Hotjar, no Matomo and no session recording. Advertising and personalisation consent is refused by default and this website contains no code that could grant it.
- No analytics at all unless you allow it. We use Google Analytics 4, and it is optional. Until you accept it, the Google tag is not loaded, no request is made to Google, and no analytics cookie is set. Refusing costs you nothing: every page, the pricing and the whole ordering process work identically either way.
- No tracking across other websites. Our measurement tells us about visits to this site only. It is not combined with any advertising network and it does not follow you elsewhere.
- No card details on this website. Payment card numbers are entered on our payment provider's own secure page, never on a page we serve. We never see, receive or store a full card number.
- No profiling and no automated decision-making.
- No selling or sharing of personal data with third parties for their own purposes.
What we collect, and why
1. When you contact us
If you email us, telephone us, or ask for a demonstration, we process what you choose to tell us. That is typically your name, your email address, your telephone number, the company you work for, and whatever you write in your message.
Purpose: to answer you, and if the conversation goes further, to prepare a possible contract.
Legal basis: Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, for steps taken at your request before entering into a contract; and Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest in responding to business enquiries.
Retention: for as long as the exchange is live, and afterwards for up to two years so that we have a record of what was said. Where an enquiry leads to a contract, the correspondence is kept for the duration of the business relationship and then for the periods required by Luxembourg accounting and commercial law.
2. When you configure a Success POS order
The Success POS page lets you build a configuration and buy it. The first step asks who you are, and we receive those details as soon as that step is complete, whether or not you go on to order. Saying so here is the point: it would be easy to leave it out, and it would be misleading.
What we receive at that point is the restaurant name, the company name, the contact name, the email address, the telephone number and the country you entered, together with the configuration you were looking at and the language you were reading in. Your IP address is recorded with it.
Purpose: to prepare and follow up a possible order, and to contact you if you left part-way through.
Legal basis: Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, for steps taken at your request before entering into a contract; and Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest in following up a business enquiry that was deliberately started with us. This is not consent, and we do not present it as consent.
Retention: up to two years from the last contact, unless the enquiry becomes an order, in which case it follows the retention below. You can ask us to delete it sooner.
Those details are recorded in our own sales system, which is operated by us and runs on the same European infrastructure as the rest of the service. They are not passed to an outside sales or marketing provider.
3. When you place an order
To create an order we process the details above, plus the VAT number and the delivery address where you give them, the configuration you selected, and the amounts calculated by us for that configuration. We generate an order reference and keep an internal record of the order.
Purpose: to enter into and perform the contract, to deliver and install the equipment, to invoice you and to support you afterwards.
Legal basis: Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, performance of a contract with you or your company; and Article 6(1)(c) GDPR for the invoicing and record-keeping the law requires of us.
Retention: for the duration of the business relationship, and afterwards for the ten-year period Luxembourg commercial and accounting law requires for records of that kind.
4. Evidence that you accepted the terms
Before an order can be placed you must tick a box confirming that you accept the Success POS General Terms and Conditions. A contract concluded by a click has to be provable, so we record what was accepted and by whom.
That record contains: the order reference; the identifier, version, effective date and content fingerprint of the terms; the exact sentence you were shown and the language it was shown in; the moment of acceptance in UTC; your company, restaurant, contact name and email address; and the IP address and browser user-agent string of the request that placed the order. We keep a copy of the order as it stood when you accepted it.
Purpose: to be able to prove which terms were agreed, when, and by whom, if that is ever disputed.
Legal basis: Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest in holding evidence of a contract we concluded electronically. The IP address and user-agent string are kept for that reason and for no other: they are not used to identify, follow or profile anyone.
Retention: for the duration of the contract and afterwards for as long as a claim under it could still be brought. This record is deliberately written once and never altered, so it cannot be corrected after the fact; if it were editable it would not be evidence.
5. Payment
Payment and subscription billing are carried out for us by Stripe. When you continue to payment you are taken to a page hosted by Stripe, where you enter your card details. Those details go to Stripe, not to us. We do not receive, process or store a card number, an expiry date or a security code at any point.
So that Stripe can take the payment and issue the right invoices, we send it your email address, your order reference, the products and amounts, and a short set of references identifying the plan, the pricing version and the version of the terms you accepted. Your company name, restaurant name and contact name are included with those references. Stripe collects your billing address and, if you provide one, your VAT number, directly from you on its own page. Stripe tells us whether the payment succeeded, and sends us the subscription and invoice references, but never the card details.
Purpose: to take payment and to run the subscription.
Legal basis: Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, performance of the contract. Stripe also processes some of this data as a controller in its own right, to meet its own legal obligations under Article 6(1)(c) GDPR, including anti-money-laundering and fraud prevention duties; for that processing Stripe's own privacy notice applies.
Retention: our copy of the payment references is kept with the order. What Stripe keeps is governed by Stripe.
6. When you simply visit a page
Our hosting provider, Eashost, records standard server logs when a page is served. These may include your IP address, the time of the request, the page requested, and your browser's user-agent string. The ordering service records equivalent technical logs, which are deliberately built to exclude the contents of a request so they cannot become a second copy of your data.
Purpose: to deliver the website and the ordering service, keep them available, and protect them against abuse. We do not use these logs to identify or follow visitors, and we do not combine them with anything else.
Legal basis: Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest in operating a secure and available service.
Retention: the limited period applied by the hosting provider for the website; up to twelve months for the ordering service's own logs.
7. Technical storage on your device
Two different things are stored on your device, and only one of them involves a choice.
Strictly necessary storage is what the site needs in order to work: the language you chose, the answer you gave about analytics, and the Success POS configuration you were building. It is held in your own browser, it is never transmitted to us for any other purpose, and it is never used for analytics or advertising. Storage of that kind is necessary to provide what you asked for, so it does not require consent. It is kept in local browser storage rather than in a cookie, which means it is never sent to any server, ours included.
Analytics storage is set by Google Analytics, and only after you have accepted analytics. It consists of cookies in the _ga family, set by this website on this domain, which let Google distinguish one visit from another and recognise a returning device. They contain a randomly generated number; they do not contain your name, your email address or anything you typed. Until you accept, none of them exists.
8. Analytics, and the choice you are given
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how this website is used: which pages are read, how long people stay, which country a visit comes from, which device and browser were used, which site or search brought somebody here, and how far into the Success POS journey they got. We use it to decide what to write and where to spend a marketing budget. We do not use it to build a profile of you, to make any automated decision about you, or to advertise to you.
It is optional and it is off until you say otherwise. The first time you visit, you are asked. Until you answer, and if you refuse, the Google tag is never loaded, no request is made to Google and no analytics cookie is set. You can change your mind at any time using the Cookie settings link in the footer of every page. If you withdraw consent, measurement stops, and the analytics cookies described above are deleted from your browser. We cannot delete measurement that Google already recorded before you withdrew; if you want that removed as well, write to us and we will make a deletion request for it.
What we have deliberately prevented. The Success POS configurator asks for a restaurant name, a company name, a contact name, an email address and a telephone number. None of it reaches Google. Our analytics code builds its events from the state of the page — which plan, how many stations, which step — and it carries a fixed list of permitted fields; anything not on that list is discarded before it is sent. There is no name, company, email address, telephone number, VAT number, postal address or free-text field on that list, and the search box on this site sends us the number of results, never what you typed.
What that does and does not mean. It means we have taken deliberate steps to keep the details you type out of Google Analytics. It does not mean no personal data is processed at all: Google Analytics still receives your IP address in order to work out an approximate location, and the identifier in the analytics cookie is personal data under the GDPR even though it carries no name. That is exactly why we ask first and why the whole of it is optional.
Purpose: to measure how this website is used, so we can improve it and spend a marketing budget responsibly.
Legal basis: Article 6(1)(a) GDPR, your consent, together with your consent under Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive as implemented in Luxembourg for the storage itself. Consent is freely given, and withdrawing it is as easy as giving it.
Recipient: Google Ireland Limited, which acts as our processor for Google Analytics, and Google LLC and its sub-processors where data is transferred outside the EU under the European Commission's standard contractual clauses and the EU–US Data Privacy Framework.
Retention: your choice about analytics is remembered in your browser for six months, after which you are asked again. In our Google Analytics account, both event data and user-associated data are set to be retained for 14 months. “Reset on new user activity” is switched on, which means the 14 months for user-associated data runs from a visitor's most recent visit rather than from their first, so the data of somebody who keeps coming back can be held for longer than 14 months after we first saw them. That setting governs the detailed event-level and user-level data; the aggregated reports Google builds from it are not covered by it and do not disappear on the same schedule.
Who else sees your data
These parties process personal data for us, on our instructions and for no purpose of their own, except where noted:
- Eashost, our website hosting provider, which processes server logs on our behalf.
- Amazon Web Services, which hosts the ordering and billing service. It runs in the Europe (Frankfurt) region, and that restriction is enforced by policy on our accounts rather than left to configuration.
- Stripe, for payment and subscription processing, as described above. Stripe is also a controller in its own right for parts of that processing.
- Microsoft, our email provider, to the extent that a message you send us is necessarily received and stored.
- Google, for Google Analytics, and only if you have accepted analytics. If you have not, no data reaches Google at all.
We do not sell personal data and we do not share it with anyone for their own marketing.
Transfers outside the EEA
The ordering and billing service runs in the European Union and its data does not leave it.
Two things reach providers that may process data outside the European Economic Area, and we would rather name them than imply there are none:
- Stripe. Payment processing is operated within a group that processes data outside the EEA. Where that happens it is covered by Stripe's own data processing terms and the European Commission's standard contractual clauses.
- Google Fonts. The typefaces this site uses are served by Google. Loading a page therefore sends your IP address and browser user-agent string to Google, which may process it outside the EEA under the European Commission's standard contractual clauses. No cookie is set and nothing about you is stored by us as a result. We rely on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR for it, our legitimate interest in serving the site as designed. We are looking at serving the fonts ourselves so that this transfer stops happening at all.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you have the right to:
- ask what personal data we hold about you and receive a copy of it (access);
- have inaccurate data corrected (rectification);
- have data deleted where we no longer have a reason to keep it (erasure);
- ask us to restrict how we use it;
- object to processing we carry out on the basis of our legitimate interest;
- receive the data you gave us in a portable, machine-readable format.
Those rights are not unlimited. Where we must keep something to meet an accounting obligation, or to preserve evidence of a contract you entered into, we will say so and explain why rather than delete a record we are required or entitled to keep.
To exercise any of these, write to dpo@success-payment.com. We will respond within one month.
If you are not satisfied with our answer, you may lodge a complaint with the Luxembourg supervisory authority, the Commission nationale pour la protection des données (CNPD), 15 Boulevard du Jazz, L-4370 Belvaux, Luxembourg.
Security
This website and the ordering service are served over an encrypted connection. Order records, the evidence of accepted terms and the operational logs are encrypted where they are stored, using keys we control. Access is limited to the people who need it. Enquiry correspondence is kept to the people who need it in order to answer you.
The measures applying to the Success POS service itself are set out in Annex 2 of the Success POS Data Processing Terms.
Changes to this policy
If this website starts doing something new with personal data, this policy will be updated before that change goes live, not after it.
