3.7 Aggregated Data

We may pseudonymise and/or anonymise and aggregate any of the above categories of information.

What does this mean?

  • Pseudonymised means that you cannot be identified from the data unless it's combined with additional information hold.
  • Anonymised means that you cannot be identified from the data -- for example, if we create aggregated statistics.

We use aggregated information (such as statistical data or customer profile information) to help us analyse how visitors use our site (including behaviour patterns and the tracking of visits across multiple devices) and interact with us on social media (for example, statistics about demographics or users per country), provide more useful information to our customers, and understand which of our services are of most interest.

We may provide aggregated data (for example, demographic statistics about our customers) to our partners or other third parties in exchange for access to the products or services that they provide, or to promote our Platform.

Where such aggregate information is derived from your personal data we will take steps to pseudonymise or anonymise your personal data, so that you cannot be easily re-identified from aggregate information retained or used for these purposes.

While our anonymisation and aggregation of data is based on our legitimate interest in developing and improving our services, you may let us know if you would prefer we do not use your data for this purpose. This will not affect any data which has already been anonymised, but we can stop using your personal data for this purpose going forward. Please contact us at help@laybuy.com if you would like to ask about your data not being used to help us improve and develop our Platform and services.
