Users are able to contact Necto via email on their own volition and are not able to directly share personal data through the website. Necto collects and stores only the personal data that you explicitly share with us through email. The data we collect varies by activity and may include personal information such as first and last name, e-mail address, telephone number, postcode, city, and other address information. In certain cases, we may also collect your job title and area of activity, as well as other information you may have directly shared.

We use the personal data you provide exclusively to process your particular request. For example:

• To respond to and fulfil your requests, such as sending you requested documents, information and marketing materials about our products and services
• To register you for our webinars, events or training sessions/workshops
• To provide customer services and handle support requests
• To send marketing e-mails that may be of interest to you, provided you have given us special permission to do so
• To register you for our partner portal or restricted customer areas

It is your decision whether to provide us with your data for the purposes mentioned above. To the extent that your request allows, you may also remain anonymous to us or use a pseudonym. Necto will always obtain your express consent to use your personal data for other purposes (in particular for marketing purposes).

3. Duration of Data Storage

The data you provide to us will only be stored for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which they were provided or to comply with statutory provisions.

4. Transfer to Third Parties

Your personal data will be passed on to third parties only in the following cases:

• If you have given your express consent in accordance with Art. 6(1) lit. a) of the GDPR
• If transferring the data is necessary to fulfil contractual obligations pursuant to Art. 6(1) s. 1 b) of the GDPR
• If we are legally obliged to disclose the data under Art. 6(1) lit. c) of the GDPR
• If disclosure of the data is in the public interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1) lit. e) of the GDPR
• If disclosure of the data pursuant to Art. 6(1) lit. f) of the GDPR is necessary to protect our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party, unless your interests in protecting your data prevail

In addition, when processing your request, it may be necessary for Necto to disclose your personal data to other Necto companies or to external service providers acting on our behalf, including in non-European third countries. These service providers may be tasked with operating servers, for example. Necto requires all of its affiliated companies and external service providers to use your personal data only in accordance with our policies and in accordance with this privacy policy, as well as with statutory requirements for order processing or similar requirements.

5. Rights of the Data Subject

You have the following rights regarding the processing of your data:

• Pursuant to Art. 15 of the GDPR, you have the right to obtain from us information about the processing of your personal data regarding the purpose of the processing, the categories of data processed, the recipients or categories of recipient to whom the data have been or will be disclosed, and the envisaged duration of storage or the criteria for determining the duration. You also have rights of rectification, deletion, restriction of processing or objection to processing for your data, as well as the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. You also have the right to obtain information on the origin of the data, if applicable, information on the existence of any automated decision-making and, if data are transferred to a third country or international organisations, information on safeguards for the transfer pursuant to Art. 46 of the GDPR.
• Pursuant to Art. 16 of the GDPR, you have the right to immediate rectification of incorrect or incomplete personal data.
• Pursuant to Art. 17 of the GDPR, you have the right to deletion of stored personal data if the data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed, if the data subject has withdrawn their consent and there is no other legal basis, or if an objection to processing has been filed and the data may no longer be processed pursuant to Art. 21(1) or Art. 21(2) of the GDPR. You also have the right of deletion if the data have been unlawfully processed, if the deletion is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation, or if the data have been collected in relation to information society services offered pursuant to Art. 8(1) of the GDPR. This does not apply if the processing is necessary to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information, to fulfil a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest, or to assert, exercise or defend against legal claims.
• Pursuant to Art. 18 of the GDPR, you have the right to restrict the processing if you dispute the accuracy of the personal data (for the duration necessary to verify the accuracy) or if the processing is unlawful but you demand restriction of use rather than deletion. The right to restriction also applies if we no longer need your data for the purposes of processing, but you need the data to assert, exercise or defend against legal claims, or if you have lodged an objection to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) of the GDPR, provided it has not been established that Necto’s legitimate reasons prevail over yours.
• Pursuant to Art. 20 of the GDPR, you have the right to data portability, i.e. the right to receive the personal data that you have provided to Necto in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format or to transmit the data to another controller.
• You have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data pursuant to Art. 21 of the GDPR (para. 2 if the data are processed for the purpose of direct marketing), or pursuant to Art. 21(1) of the GDPR (if the processing is based on Art. 6(1) lit. e) or f) of the GDPR) on grounds relating to your particular situation, unless Necto has compelling legitimate reasons for the processing that outweigh your interests or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend against legal claims.
• Pursuant to Art. 7(3) of the GDPR, you have the right to revoke consent at any time. As a result, Necto will cease processing the data from the time of revocation.
• Pursuant to Art. 77 of the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. The right of complaint shall be without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies. The supervisory authority to which we are subject is listed in section 13.
