2.2. What Personal Data do we process?

Binogi is built on a data minimization principle. The default level of operation is pseudonymized accounts, i.e. no personal information is retained by Binogi’s systems. In the event of such data being received, for example the user email address during Single-Sign On, these are stripped and the account is represented by a non-identifiable account number (pseudonymization).

The processing of IP addresses, and other user generated data, is done in such a way that the data can not be assigned to a specific data subject without requiring additional external information.

In the event that the customer requires Binogi to retain personal data, or other data that can be used to de-anonymize the user, such data is kept separate and subject to appropriate technical and organizational measures.
