We collect personal information about you based on how you have used our products and services, how you have interacted with Clear Mobile (even if you aren’t a customer), or what we have obtained from a third party with permission to share it with us.

We will process your personal data based on:

1. The performance of your contract or to enter into the contract and to take action on your requests. For example, so you can make calls and texts, and browse the internet on your phone, we process things like the numbers you dial, how much data you’re using and when you’re doing it so we can provide connectivity. This also enables us to generate your bill, based on your usage. We also need to conduct credit checks when you apply for a product or service.
2. Our legitimate business interests for example, fraud prevention, maintaining the security of our network and services, direct marketing, research and analytics, and improvement of our services. Whenever we rely on this lawful basis to process your data, we assess our business interests to make sure they do not override your rights. Additionally, in some cases you have the right to object to this processing. For more information, visit the Your Rights section of this policy.
3. Compliance with a mandatory legal obligation, including for example accounting and tax requirements, which are subject to strict internal policies (such as retention periods), procedures, and your right to restrict usage of your data, which control the scope of legal assistance to be provided; or,
4. Consent you provide, for example, processing of certain types of personal data for research and analytics where we do not rely on another legal basis. Consent may be with drawn at any time by changing your data preferences. Sign into your online account to view your data preferences.

• Your traffic data. This is data we see as part of providing you with connectivity like the numbers you call, the time and duration of the call or the amount of data you are using;
• Your location data. This can be precise where you use Global Positioning System (GPS) data or by identifying nearby mobile phone masts and Wi-Fi hotspots when you enable location-based services or features. Or less precise where, for example, a location is derived from your IP address or data such as a eircode or name of a town or city;

We’ll also get information about how you use our products and services, such as:

• The level of service that you receive – for example, network or service faults and other events that may affect our network services or other services;
• Details of your use of the specific services or products, for example: every time you use your mobile phone, a record is kept. This includes the number you called or sent an SMS or MMS to, the length, date and time of that call, SMS or MMS and your approximate location at the time that the communication takes place (based on the location of the nearest cell that you sent that call or message from). The same is also recorded every time you receive an incoming call or message. We don’t, however, keep a record of the content of your calls or messages.

Provide Roaming Services

• To improve your roaming experiences, to ensure that we’re meeting our commitments around fair use, to detect and resolve fraudulent use of our networks (and our partner roaming networks) and to solve technical issues if you are experiencing.
• To understand how we are performing in providing roaming services, whether Roaming Services and related products are working as intended, or whether improvements are needed to make roaming better.

We use personal data such as your name, email address, password, mobile phone number, and call records in order to do this. We may create aggregated and statistical management reports from this information that do not identify you individually. We may also take this personal data and anonymise it so that more in-depth analysis of our roaming services can be undertaken. This helps us to develop its roaming services for customers without identifying users in an individual way.

2. To improve our service

Improving and innovating our products and services

• We collect anonymous, de-identified or aggregate information in order to improve the service we offer to everyone. None of these analytics are linked back to you in any way.

Manage our networks and understand network usage

• To protect our networks and manage the volumes of calls, texts and other uses of our networks. For example, we identify peak periods of use so we can try to ensure the networks can handle the volume at those times;
• To understand how you use our networks, products and services. That way we can seek to review, develop and improve these, develop more interesting and relevant products and services, as well as personalising our products and services.

3. Marketing & tailoring our service to you

• We can further tailor these messages using your calling and messaging activities, location information and browsing information, if you have authorised that we process this information for this purpose;

You can control your Marketing permissions and the data we use to tailor these communications at any time using your online account.

Advertising online

• To deliver advertising that is relevant to you, you’ll also see targeted advertising online based on the use of cookies. This is known as interest-based advertising. We may also combine data collected via the cookies with other data we have collected. If you don't want any information processed through the use of cookies, check our Cookies section. It explains how to control and opt out of cookies.
• Remember that opting out of interest-based advertising won’t stop advertisements from being displayed – but they won’t be tailored to your interests.

Research and analytics

We use a variety of analytics methods including what is commonly referred to as “Big data analytics”. Big data analytics are mathematically driven analysis techniques on large and varied data sets (that is why it is “big” data) to uncover hidden patterns and hitherto unrevealed trends. We take governance of big data analytics seriously. Our data scientists are required to sign up to a Code of Ethics. We have a strict use case process that requires that privacy and data protection law checks are carried out before any use case commences. We have strict rules ensuring that personal information is anonymised or de-identified at the appropriate stage in the process.

We use our analytics to:

• Conduct market research and to carry out research and statistical analysis including to monitor how customers use our networks, products and services
• Frame our marketing campaigns and determine how we might personalise those;
• Provide anonymised and aggregated reports to third parties (such reports don’t contain information which may identify you as an individual). These can be to third parties such as content providers, advertisers, and other business or public entities.

We may need to transfer your information to other companies within our group of companies or service providers in countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA). The EEA consists of countries in the European Union, Switzerland, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway: they are considered to have equivalent laws when it comes to data protection and privacy. This kind of data transfer may happen if our servers (i.e. where we store data) or our suppliers and service providers are based outside the EEA, or if you use our services and products while visiting countries outside this area.

If we send your information to a country that is not in the EEA, we will make sure that your information is properly protected. We will always ensure that there is a proper legal agreement that covers the data transfer. In addition, if the country is not considered to have laws that are equivalent to EU data protection standards then we will ask the third party to enter into a legal agreement that reflects those standards.

Some of our customer care services are based in our Service Centres in Egypt and India. Companieswithin our group of companies operate under a shared agreement based on the standard contractual clauses set out by the European Commission for the transfer of personal data to data processors established in third countries.
