Privacy Policy
1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how Balo.ai GmbH (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, discloses and protects personal data when you visit our website redact-pro.com, contact us, or purchase our products and services.
We are committed to protecting your privacy and processing your personal data in accordance with the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP), the EU/EEA General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the UK GDPR, and applicable US privacy laws where relevant.
The controller responsible for your personal data is:
Balo.ai GmbH
Mühleweiher 6
8606 Greifensee, Switzerland
Email: info@redact-pro.com
2. What data we collect
Because the Balo Redact Pro tool is designed to work offline on your systems, we do not access or process the content of the documents you redact with the product.
Through the website (which is hosted on the Wix platform) and in the context of sales, support and licensing, we may collect the following categories of personal data:
-
Contact data: name, company, role, postal address, email address, telephone number (for example when you submit a contact form or purchase a license).
-
Account and communication data: login details (if you create an account), language preferences, and content of emails or other messages you send us (e.g. support requests, demo enquiries).
-
Usage data: IP address, device identifiers, browser type and version, operating system, referral URL, pages visited, time and date of visits and similar technical data collected via Wix’s built‑in analytics and related tools.
-
Cookie and tracking data: information from cookies and similar technologies used by Wix, Wix analytics and, if enabled later, Google Analytics or comparable tools.
-
Billing and contract data: billing address, payment‑related information processed via our payment service providers, and contract details for purchases of our offline redaction tool.
We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal data (such as health or political data) via our website.
3. How we collect your data
We collect personal data in the following ways:
-
Directly from you: when you fill in Wix contact forms, sign up for an account or newsletter, request information or support, or purchase licenses via our website.
-
Automatically via Wix: when you visit our website, Wix’s infrastructure and analytics tools collect certain technical and usage data using cookies and similar technologies.
-
From third parties: for example, if we later enable Google Analytics or comparable analytics services, or when payment service providers process your payment and share limited data for reconciliation.
4. Purposes and legal bases
We process your personal data for the following purposes and, where the GDPR/UK GDPR applies, on the following legal bases:
-
Operating the website and providing our services, including handling enquiries and processing orders for the Balo Redact Pro redaction tool (performance of a contract or pre‑contractual measures; or our legitimate interests).
-
Providing support and communicating with you about our products and services (performance of a contract or our legitimate interests).
-
Running essential security and performance monitoring on the Wix infrastructure (our legitimate interests in IT security and service quality).
-
Performing website analytics through Wix analytics and, if enabled in the future, Google Analytics or similar tools, to understand usage and improve content and conversion flows (our legitimate interests in improving our services; where required, based on your prior consent via the cookie banner).
-
Conducting marketing activities such as newsletters and product updates, where permitted by law and, where necessary, based on your consent.
-
Complying with legal obligations (e.g. tax and accounting rules) and asserting or defending legal claims (legal obligation or our legitimate interests).
Where we rely on consent (for example for non‑essential cookies, Google Analytics, or certain marketing emails), you may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future.
5. Cookies, Wix analytics and Google Analytics
Our website is hosted on Wix, which uses cookies and similar technologies to:
-
Enable basic site functions and security (e.g. session management, fraud prevention).
-
Remember your preferences (e.g. language, cookie choices).
-
Provide aggregated analytics on site traffic and usage via Wix’s analytics tools.
These cookies may collect information such as your IP address, device and browser information, and page interactions.
Google Analytics (future use)
We may in the future use Google Analytics or a comparable analytics tool to analyse how visitors use our site.
If we do so, the service may set cookies and collect data such as your truncated IP address, device identifiers, and on‑site behaviour to create aggregated statistics about website usage.
Where required by law, we will only activate Google Analytics and other non‑essential cookies after you have given your consent via the cookie banner.
You can withdraw or change your consent at any time using the cookie settings on our site or your browser settings.
You can also generally prevent Google Analytics from collecting data about you by installing the browser add‑on available from Google, where supported.
Further information on how Google processes data is available in Google’s privacy documentation.
6. Disclosure of personal data
In connection with hosting, analytics and payments, we may share personal data with:
-
Wix.com Ltd. and its affiliates, as our website hosting and platform provider (including its analytics and infrastructure services).
-
Analytics providers such as Google LLC or its affiliates if we enable Google Analytics in the future.
-
Payment service providers and financial institutions that process online payments for license purchases.
-
Other service providers, professional advisers and competent authorities as described in the general disclosure section of this Policy.
These providers are required by contract and/or applicable law to protect personal data and to process it only for the purposes described.
7. International data transfers
Because Wix and (if used later) Google Analytics and some of our other providers operate globally, your personal data may be processed on servers located outside Switzerland, the EU/EEA and the UK, including in the United States.
Where these countries do not provide an adequate level of data protection, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses and additional technical and organisational measures, where required by law.
