In order for Metro Retro to operate effectively it is required to collect certain pieces of user data. This can be broken down into three areas:
1 - User Supplied: This encompases the email address, first & last name and marketing message preferences provided by users upon account creation. It also refers to any direct contact a user has with the Metro Retro team e.g. a support question via the Help icon.
2 - Automatic User System Activity: This includes logging of user behavior within the system. Specifically, but not limited to, logins, creation or joining of boards, tutorial participation and error tracking.
3 - Third Party Supplied: Metro Retro uses third party systems within its service, specifically notably Google, Github & Slack social login integration. As a result, Metro Retro will receive basic profile information from these third parties through the authorization procedures followed by that service. We only use name, email and profile picture data from these integrations.
Metro Retro requires a user to actively accept and acknowledge both Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy for the service upon account creation. These can both be viewed at any time by the user from the links at the bottom of the landing or dashboard pages. Metro Retro do not request any “Sensitive Personal Data”. Metro Retro also do not pass any personal data to any other software/system or third parties, unless required to do so by law.
Users personal data will be used where it is necessary to enable us to provide you with the service as part of our agreed terms and conditions with you. This includes using your personal data for the following purposes:
We are unable to provide you with an account if you do not provide us with your name and email address.
We may also process your personal data, where it is in our legitimate interest to do so to improve our service, such as by understanding user activity levels in an attempt to ensure and improve software stability and performance and to analyse usage.
Users personal data is stored in a cloud database service hosted within the EU. Data is transmitted between users and Metro Retro using standard encryption methods (HTTPS/WSS).
Metro Retro makes all attempts to comply with UK Data Protection legislation which is currently the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in conjunction with the Data Protection Act 2018. Full information on this regulation can be found here: https://eugdpr.org.

You can also request that we restrict what we use your data for by asking us to deactivate your account so that we only store your data but undertake no further processing. You can ask us to stop using or processing your data as well where it is not necessary to fulfil our legal obligations. If you no longer wish to use our product, you can also ask us to cancel your account. This is known as an “Individual Rights” request. Should a user wish to make such a request, then they will need to email: contact@metroretro.io and provide the following information within the body of the email:
Metro Retro commit to acknowledging your email within 72 hours, and will potentially request additional information. Once the request from the user if understood by Metro Retro, the personal data request will then be processed within one month of the identification being received.
