We strive to provide you with choices regarding marketing and advertising.
We may use your Technical and Usage Data to form a view on what we think you may want or need, or what may be of interest to you. This is how we decide which products, services and offers may be relevant for you.
You will receive marketing communications from us if you have requested information from us or purchased goods or services from us or if you provided us with your details when you entered a competition or registered for a promotion and, in each case, you have not opted out of receiving that marketing.
You can ask us or third parties to stop sending you marketing messages at any time by following the opt-out links on any marketing message sent to you or by contacting us at any time.
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to distinguish you from other users of our website. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our website and allows us to improve our website. We may also use such technologies to track you across the Internet and to display targeted advertisements to you on third-party websites and social media platforms based on your preferences and likely interests.
You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies or to alert you when websites set or access cookies. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of this website may become inaccessible or not function properly.

We receive information about you when you use a third-party service to create a Squirro ID account or log into a Squirro ID account. For example, if you log in with your Google credentials, we receive your name and email address as permitted by your Google profile settings, to authenticate you. The same applies if you use your Microsoft credentials to log into Squirro ID, in which case we receive your name and email address associated with your Microsoft account. In all these cases, the credentials are not used to access any further data on your behalf. Where such access is needed, it is requested separately (see Squirro 1-Click Connectors below). The information we receive when you link or integrate our Services with a third-party service depends on the settings, permissions, and privacy policy controlled by that third-party service. You should always check the privacy settings and notices in these third-party services to understand what data may be disclosed to us or shared with our Services.
How we use data from sources you imported.
1-click connectors allow you to connect through an industry-standard OAuth2 setup for authorization, thereby allowing Squirro to index data without ever storing your confidential Gmail access credentials in Squirro.
Squirro is a self-learning system keeping you in the know and recommending what’s next. For Squirro to deliver Insights based on your data, you want to expose selected data sets to Squirro’s Insights Engine.
Squirro Insights Engine augments search technology with Artificial Intelligence to deliver insights. It gathers data from all internal, external and premium data sources, understands that data by applying AI and ML models and empowers the user with recommendations and next best actions, delivered at the timely business moment through a user-friendly and intuitive dashboard.
The 1-Click Connector facilitates the process of connecting to your data source. As part of the Data Loader Process, you will be able to select what part of the data stored in Gmail or Google Drive will be imported to Squirro.
Once your data is loaded and processed by Squirro’s Insights Engine you will be able to access it through any of our Apps or build a Cognitive App yourself.
While you use the Squirro Gmail Connector, Squirro will continuously poll for updates and fetch these updates. You may modify this while setting the data loader.
Should you no longer wish to make use of the Squirro Gmail or Drive Connector, you may delete your data at any moment. See here for support. At any moment you may also revoke OAuth access within Gmail or Google Drive.
The use of Squirro is subject to a few rules and regulations:
We take security seriously: Trust is one of our 3 core values. To say it is one thing, to do it is another, and to get certified that you are doing it even better. We are ISO 27001 compliant and certified and audit our entire infrastructure through regular penetration tests.
For additional questions contact Squirro Support.
We may have to share your personal data with the parties set out below for the purposes set out in the table in paragraph 4 above:
We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.
This section applies where you are located in the European Union.
We may share your personal data within the Squirro Group. This will involve transferring your data outside the European Economic Area (EEA).
Our third party service providers may be based outside the EEA so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the EEA.
Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
You can request details of retention periods for different aspects of your personal data by contacting us.
In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see below for further information.
In some circumstances, we may anonymize your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.
Where you are located in the European Union you have the right to:
Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms (other than in the case of direct marketing).
Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us.
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.
We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
