SERVICES
Description of the Services
We provide a platform to “bring your well or tank online” to provide you with information about the current and historical water levels in your well. We give you the opportunity to receive alerts at the lowest water levels you have activated using the App. The ambition is to give you the opportunity to use your well in a sustainable way and help you to be able to protect your well from overexploitation and possible saltwater intrusion.
The service can also provide calculated and approximate values of use and inflow given that the right conditions prevail. In cases where the well/tank has an unusually large inflow, no/too small water level difference occurs and then neither use nor inflow can be calculated reliably. If you are unsure of what applies to your well, please contact us (Contact information above). We therefore cannot guarantee that the correct inflow and/or use will be displayed in the App.
Groundwater level for your specific well is calculated daily based on the highest standing water level identified. If no stagnant level is identified, i.e. the well is constantly under filling, then accordingly no groundwater level is recorded.
We are not responsible for how the well is used or for any damage that occurs to the well due to how you use the Service. We do our best to capture metrics and notify you based on your settings to protect your well. However, we cannot guarantee that we can capture all risks as it is due to external factors such as, for example, unusually fast water inflows that make it difficult to calculate use and inflow and collaboration between our service providers to, for example, send SMS.
Calculations and metrics may change and be refined over time.
The information is made available in your account in Aqvify’s app and/or Aqvify’s website. (the “Service“). The service is further based on you making correct settings in the App regarding the diameter of the well, the lowest level you want to allow the well to be used to, and the depth at which the sensor is installed. More information about the Service is available on the Website and in the App.
The service may only be used in Europe and in compliance with local laws and regulations, unless otherwise agreed in writing with Aqvify.
Setting up an Account
For ordering of the Services, you must create an Account. You are not allowed to transfer the Account to others, and you may only sign up one (1) Account. Once an Account has been created, and payment has been made where prepayment is required, the Services will be available and ready to use, as instructed on the Site and in the App.
Several people who use the well/tank can use the service with the same underlying subscription. However, each individual user must have their own Account. We allow a maximum of five individuals to share the Service for the same well/tank, unless otherwise stated on the Site.

Your rights
You are the one in control of your Personal Data and we always strive to ensure that you can exercise your rights as efficiently and smoothly as possible.
Access – You always have the right to receive information about the Processing of data that concerns you. We only provide information if we have been able to verify that it is you that are requesting the information.
Rectification – If you find that the Personal Data we process about you is incorrect, let us know and we will fix it!
Erasure – Do you want us to completely forget about you? You have the right to be forgotten and request deletion of your Personal Data when the Processing is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. If we are required to retain your information under applicable law or a contract that we have entered with you, we will ensure that it is processed only for the specific purpose set forth in such applicable law or contract. We will thereafter erase the information as soon as possible.
Objections – Do you disagree with our assessment that a legitimate interest for Processing your Personal Data overrides your interest in protecting your privacy? Don’t worry – in such case, we will review our legitimate interest assessment. Of course, we add your objection to the balance and make a new assessment to see if we can still justify our Processing of your Personal Data. If you object to direct marketing, we will immediately delete your personal information without making an assessment.
Restriction – You can also ask us to restrict our Processing of your Personal Data
● Whilst we are Processing a request from you for any of your other rights;
● If, instead of requesting erasure, you want us to limit the Processing of Personal Data for a specific purpose. For example, if you do not want us to send advertising to you in the future, we still need to save your name in order to know that we should not contact you; or
● In cases where we no longer need the information in relation to the purpose for which it was collected, provided that you do not have an interest in retaining it to make a legal claim.
Data portability – We may provide you with the data that you have submitted to us or that we have received from you in connection with a contract that we have entered with you. You will receive your information in a commonly used and machine-readable format that you can transfer to another personal data manager.
Withdraw consent – If you have given consent to one or several specific Processing(s) of your Personal Data, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time and thus ask us to terminate the Processing immediately. Please note that you can only withdraw your consent for future Processing of Personal Data and not for Processing that has already taken place.
