Privacy Policy | 7SIGNAL
Introduction
7SIGNAL, Inc. (7SIGNAL) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it through our compliance with all applicable laws and this Notice.
This Notice describes the personal data that we collect, how that data is processed, and your rights and choices in relation to it.
7SIGNAL may change this Notice from time to time, due to changes in our business, technology, applicable laws, or any other reason. Please check this page from time to time to be informed of the latest changes.
1. 7SIGNAL’s Role
7SIGNAL is a provider of Wi-Fi network monitoring, testing, and measuring services. Our customers are generally large organizations such as hospitals, educational institutions, enterprises, managed service providers, retail stores, warehouses, or manufacturing and distribution centers. Our Sapphire Eye(R) (network hardware) and Mobile Eye(R) (Wi-Fi end-user device software) products (the “Wi-Fi Products”) help our customers to test, optimize the performance of and identify and resolve problems with their Wi-Fi networks. This may involve the collection of certain personal data from staff, clients, or other network users, which is then processed by 7SIGNAL on our Cloud customers’ behalf.
In these cases, the “data controller” or “business” (the entity that decides on the purposes of the data processing and ways in which it is processed) is our customer, and 7SIGNAL is a “data processor” or “service provider” that processes data on behalf of and on the instructions of each customer. In this Notice, we set out some general information about 7SIGNAL’s data processing, but you should consult the relevant data controller or business whose network you are using for further details.
Some Sapphire Eye customers host our solution on-premises and are then fully responsible for all aspects of the data processing. 7SIGNAL does not process Wi-Fi end-user data for its on-premises customers.
For other data processing activities, relating to data collected from or about staff working for our current or potential customers and suppliers, other business contacts, or visitors to our website, 7SIGNAL is the data controller.
For any question or request relating to personal data processing., 7SIGNAL can be contacted as set out in section 7.

3. Recipients and International Transfers of Personal Data
Your personal information may be stored and processed in any country where we have facilities or have engaged data sub-processors, e.g. for data storage or analysis. We store data in particular in Germany and the USA. Customers may also use on-premise data storage (or other third party storage solutions) in which case we do not process that data on their behalf. Please refer to the privacy policies or notices of the provider of the network you are using for further information.
We may disclose personal information to the following categories of third parties:
- our subsidiaries and affiliates involved with the provision of the Wi-Fi Products or associated services (e.g. training, support);
- our customers as part of our services (e.g. we may provide analyses and insights, and access to raw data collected);
- in the event of merger, acquisition, or any form of sale of some or all of our assets, in which case personal information held by us may be transferred to the buyer;
- other organizations that provide services in support of our services and business such as:
- providers of IT-related services (e.g. data storage, website development, hosting, management, or maintenance);
- data analytics providers;
- marketing, advertising, and communications service providers; or
- accounting, legal, compliance, insurance or banking service providers.
These organizations process personal data on 7SIGNAL’s behalf, but our contracts with them oblige them to meet data protection standards as strict as those that apply to us, and not to use your data for any other purpose.
Where such disclosures result in a transfer of personal information to places outside the EU/EEA/UK, or other countries that are officially regarded by EU or UK authorities as having adequate data protection laws, then this will be done only on the basis of legal safeguards aimed at ensuring that your data is kept as secure as under applicable laws. These may include standard contractual clauses for data exports as issued by the European Commission or another supervisory authority. A copy of such safeguards may be available from us if we receive a valid request.
If 7SIGNAL receives a request for personal information from a government, national security or law enforcement agency, or other regulator, we would normally comply with such request without having to notify you or other users.
4. Storage period
We only retain data for as long as necessary for the purpose for which the data was collected.
Personal data from our Wi-Fi monitoring products is stored for up to 3 months and then permanently deleted. Where our customers store data on-premise or outside of our systems, they may have different retention periods.
We may retain business contact data for at least the time that you or your organization has an account or agreement with us. If you have subscribed for a newsletter or other information, we will keep your contact details until you unsubscribe.
We keep data relating to customer or supplier contracts for at least the applicable legal limitation period in order to be in a position to resolve any claims. We may also keep data for longer periods where required for accounting, tax or legal reasons (in which case data use will be limited to such purposes).
5. Your Rights
If you are located in the EU/EEA/UK, the General Data Protection Regulation and national implementing laws grant you various rights including the following:
- To access your personal data;
- To require us to correct mistakes in your personal data;
- To have personal data concerning you erased (“the right to be forgotten”);
- To receive personal data which you have provided to us (“portability”);
- To object to processing of your personal data for direct marketing or for certain other purposes;

If you are resident in certain US states such as California, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Virginia, and others, as new laws are introduced, you may have additional rights under state privacy legislation. Many US States’ privacy laws relate only to consumers acting in a personal or household context and we do not handle any personal information relating to such consumers. However, to the extent that US State privacy laws applicable to us also protect personal information of individuals acting in a commercial or employment context, then you may have some or all of the following rights:
- To have inaccurate personal information corrected;
- To receive notice of what categories of personal information will be collected and the purposes for which it will be used;
- To receive confirmation of whether or not your personal is being processed, to access it, plus information on how it is used, sold or shared;

- To opt out of sales or sharing, and in some states to opt out of data processing for targeted advertising and/or profiling for significant purposes;
- To request deletion of your personal information (subject to some exceptions e.g. where required for detecting security incidents, exercising free speech, protecting or defending against legal claims, or for internal uses reasonably aligned with the consumer’s expectations);
- To limit use of sensitive information to necessary uses;
- Not to be discriminated against based upon your exercise of any of your legal rights relating to your personal information.
If you wish to exercise any of the above legal rights, as a user of one of our Wi-Fi Products you should in the first instance contact the 7SIGNAL customer through whom your personal information was collected. For other cases, you (or your authorized agent) can write to us using the contact details in Section 7 below and we will respond within 45 days as required by applicable laws. If you make such a request, including through an authorized agent, we reserve the right to verify your identity and the agent’s authorization. However, we may not be able to respond to your request if it is not permitted or foreseen under applicable laws.
