What personal data do we process about you?

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. We process data that you provide voluntarily to us, data that we collect in an automated fashion when you visit our premises, events or websites and data processed when you access and/or use our products and services.

We may process the following personal data about our customers as inventory data: your name, your email address, your phone number and (if applicable) fax number, your job title, your full personal address, the organization you work for (if applicable to the transaction), your gender, your language preference, the IP addresses you use to connect to our systems, your account name, the services you order, your financial data including bank account or credit card information, your login details.

We may also request additional personal data if required for the specific service you requested.

Our processing of third-party data

By transmitting personal data of third parties (e.g., when you order a service for someone else using their personal information or when using their personal information as additional contacts) you are responsible about informing affected parties about the terms of our privacy policy and for obtaining the necessary consent of those parties for your use and our processing of their data. You will particularly inform them about any processing and transfers of their data to other parties as described in this policy.

Legal Bases for Processing Your Data

In principle, we only process data when a legal basis is available. We specify the legal basis in the segments about data processing, but in general, we are permitted to process your personal data if one of the following conditions applies.

- The data subject's consent for the processing of personal data (Art. 6 I a) GDPR).

- Processing personal data as a necessity for the fulfilment of a contract in return for payment or free of charge. This shall also apply to processing operations necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures (Art. 6 I b) GDPR).

- The processing is necessary for the fulfilment of a legal obligation to which we are subject (Art. 6 I c) GDPR).

- The processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights, and fundamental freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the above-mentioned interests (Art. 6 I f) GDPR).

Purposes for processing

The data you transmit to us upon requesting a service (or for correction, renewal or updates of service requests) is required to establish a contractual relationship between you and us, for purposes required for our provision of requested services as well as auxiliary services to you, for proper and secure management of your customer account, to prevent abusive use of our services, to enable us to provide information on expiration and required renewals of services and to allow us to comply with applicable legal obligations. The legal basis for such processing is Art. 6 I b) GDPR.

We may also transfer your personal data to third parties to safeguard legitimate interests of such third parties in accordance with Art. 6 I f) GDPR, except where such interests are overridden by your fundamental rights and freedoms.

To whom do we forward your personal data?

To the extent permitted by law, your personal data may be disclosed to the following parties:

We may forward your personal data to third-party service providers directly involved in the provision of our service to you.

We may forward your personal data to third-party payment providers directly involved in the provision of payment services for payment facilities chosen by you to pay for our services, such as a bank, credit card service providers, PayPal and others. This may require the transfer of your personal data to organizations and/or servers located outside the European Union.

To ensure business continuity, your personal data may be provided to escrow service providers as well as to backup storage providers.

For support purposes, we may provide access to your personal data to providers of third-party support services.

We will never sell your personal data to anyone.

Further data usage

We will only use the data for the purposes of advertising, customer service or market research if such use is necessary to provide or improve the service and if the customer has provided prior consent in accordance to Art. 6 I a) GDPR. Such consent may be revoked at any time. We will store your personal data that is processed for business purposes for a minimum of one year after the termination of the service it was collected for, or longer if required by legal requirements, such as the tax code. Data processed for other purposes is processed no longer than necessary for the purposes for which your data is processed or until all applicable legal requirements are met.
