We will not process your personal data if we do not have a proper justification foreseen in the law for that purpose. As registered user, the legal basis for the processing of your personal data related to the provision and use of the Portal is the fulfilment of the contract or business relationship with you pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR.
To the extent that the data processing is not directly related to an existing contract or business relationship, the legal basis is our legitimate interest which arises from the described business objectives but does not unduly affect your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms (Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR). In such cases, we always seek to maintain a balance between our legitimate interests and your privacy. 
Examples of such legitimate interests are the prevention of fraud or criminal activity and misuse of our products and/or services including the security of our IT systems, architecture and networks and the use of cost-effective services offered by suppliers.
Where you give us your consent to the processing of your personal data, this consent is the legal basis pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR.

Commissioned Data Processing

If you or the entity for which you act wish to use our services (including the Portal) for the processing of personal data that is subject to commissioned data processing as per to Art. 28 GDPR, this requires the separate conclusion of a Data Processing Agreement. For such personal data, you or the entity for which you act remain the data controller under GDPR or any other applicable data protection law, and we act as data processor on your behalf.

Origin of Data

Your personal data is generally collected from you directly, insofar as possible. Depending on the business relationship and the registration process, data may be also collected from the entity for which you act or from administrators of your company managing your account.

Recipients or categories of recipients

Your personal data will not be disclosed to third parties unless you have consented to such disclosure or it is permitted by applicable law. Within the framework of the business relationship between NetLync and you or the company you represent, and in order to provide agreed services, it may be necessary for employees of NetLync located in a country other than the country of your residency, including countries outside the European Union ("EU") and the European Economic Area ("EEA"). In addition, we may use service providers located in countries outside the EU or EEA, who act as data processors on our behalf.

Please note that NetLync has taken appropriate measures with its employees and service providers in order to secure an adequate level of data protection in line with applicable data protection requirements. In particular, the transfer of personal data among Group Companies is subject to Binding Corporate Rules (Art. 47 GDPR).
