Services
Picopoint Solutions offers its customers the possibility to measure and interact with visitors using WiFi at retailers, shopping malls or other locations. This allows our customers to gain valuable insights in the behaviour of visitors while staying at their venue, which they can use to improve their venue or to engage visitors with interesting proposals. Other relevant use of this information is to optimise and organise the interior of a measured area, or to improve the service and safety at events.
Which personal information is processed?
Every smartphone has WiFi functionality. Thanks to a MAC address every device can connect to a network with a unique identifier. Your device sends out this unique MAC address when looking for – or connecting to a WiFi network. Picopoint Solutions encrypts and anonymises this MAC address after recording it, making it impossible to track it back to the original user and device. We collect non-identifiable data like average age ranges, area of service (how long are visitors willing to travel to a venue) and selected language. E-mail address is required to, if needed, contact visitors, for example with practical information or special offers.
Which data is shared with our customers?
Our customers only have access to aggregated and anonymised data. Things like numbers of visitors, average age, the average duration that people stay in their location or how most people navigate their location. E-mail addresses are used for our customers e-mail campaigns.
I do not want to participate (Opt-out), how do I do this?
To avoid any contact you can simply de-activate your WiFi signal.
You can also opt-out, which will cause all profiles that are connected to your MAC address to be erased from the system. Historical (anonymised) data will be unaffected. You will no longer be counted in future analyses. You may lose access to the service. Ongoing (potentially paid) WiFi access will be terminated. Picopoint Solutions aims to process this request as soon as possible.
