I. General information on data processing

1. Scope of the data processing of personal data

We collect and use personal data of users of our website where you can sign in for and log in onto the NautilusLog Platform (“Platform”), subscribe to services by us or third parties only to the extent necessary.

2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data.

When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations which are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures.

Insofar as processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.

In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or of a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

If the processing of data requires the storage of information in your device or access to information already stored in the device, Section 25 (1), (2) TDDDG is the legal basis for this.

3. Data deletion and storage period

The personal data of the user will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage no longer applies. Furthermore, data may be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU ordinances, laws or other regulations to which the person responsible is subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted when a storage period prescribed by the above-mentioned standards expires, unless there is a need to continue storing the data for the purpose of concluding or fulfilling a contract.

4. General communication

You can contact us via the Platform, by e-mail, telephone or letter. Your details and attachments from the inquiry, including the contact data you provide there, will be stored by us solely for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. In the case of contact forms, your connection data such as IP address and the date and time of submission are also processed. If you contact us by e-mail, your e-mail address and the date and time of sending will be processed. If you contact us by telephone, the telephone number will be processed. If you write to us by letter, we process your address data and date of receipt. In this context, the data will not be passed on to third parties.

The legal basis for processing the data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our interest in answering your inquiry outweighs your interest; since you are writing to us, an answer is furthermore also in your interest, and you are aware that we need to process your data to answer your inquiry. The connection data is collected in order to be able to process and answer your inquiry and to prevent misuse of the contact options.

If the contact aims at the conclusion of a contract, the legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para 1 lit. b GDPR.

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. This is the case when the respective communication with the data subject has ended. The communication is terminated when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter concerned has been conclusively clarified.

5. Recipients of data

Within our company, those departments have access to your data that need it to fulfill their processing purposes. This also applies to the service providers and vicarious agents we use. All departments and persons who work with your data are bound to data secrecy and have been made aware of the sensitive handling of personal data.

Your data will only be passed on outside the company if this is in accordance with data protection regulations. This is the case if the transfer is necessary to fulfill the purposes or if we have obtained your consent for the use and transfer of the data. The following categories of recipients may receive your data:

  • Service providers for the operation of our Platform and services and the processing of data stored or transmitted by the systems (e.g. for data center services, payment processing, IT security). The legal basis for the processing is then Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b or lit. f GDPR, insofar as it does not involve order processors.
  • Government agencies/authorities, insofar as this is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation. The legal basis for the transfer is then Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR.
  • Persons employed to carry out our business operations (e.g. auditors, banks, insurance companies, legal advisors, supervisory authorities, parties involved in company acquisitions or the establishment of joint ventures). The legal basis for the disclosure is then Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b or lit. f GDPR.
