Types of Data Collection
Nekkto, either independently or through third-party entities, collects various types of Personal Data, including Cookies, Usage Data, and information communicated while using the service. Detailed information about each type of Personal Data collected is available in dedicated sections of this privacy policy or through specific explanatory texts presented before Data collection.
Personal Data may be voluntarily provided by the User or, in the case of Usage Data, collected automatically during the use of Nekkto. Unless explicitly specified otherwise, all Data requested by Nekkto is mandatory. Failure to provide this Data may render it impossible for Nekkto to deliver its services. In cases where Nekkto designates certain Data as non-mandatory, Users are free to abstain from providing such Data without affecting the availability or functionality of the Service.
Users uncertain about the mandatory nature of specific Personal Data are encouraged to contact the Owner. The use of Cookies or other tracking tools by Nekkto or third-party service owners aligns with the objective of providing the Service required by the User, in addition to other purposes outlined in this document and the Cookie Policy, if available.
Users bear responsibility for any third-party Personal Data obtained, published, or shared through Nekkto, confirming that they have obtained the necessary consent from the third party to provide such Data to the Owner.
Mode and Place of Data Processing
Methods of Processing
The Owner implements appropriate security measures to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, modification, or destruction of Data. Data processing is conducted using computers and/or IT-enabled tools, following organizational procedures and methods directly related to the specified purposes. Apart from the Owner, certain individuals in charge (administration, sales, marketing, legal, system administration) or external parties (such as third-party technical service providers, mail carriers, hosting providers, IT companies, communications agencies), if necessary, may have access to the Data as Data Processors. Users can request an updated list of these parties from the Owner at any time.
Legal Basis of Processing
The Owner may process Personal Data relating to Users under the following circumstances:
1. Users have given their consent for one or more specific purposes. Note: Under certain legislations, the Owner may be allowed to process Personal Data until the User objects to such processing (“opt-out”), without relying on consent or any other legal bases. However, this does not apply when the processing of Personal Data is subject to European data protection law.
2. Provision of Data is necessary for the performance of an agreement with the User and/or for any pre-contractual obligations thereof.
3. Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the Owner is subject.
4. Processing is related to a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the Owner.
5. Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the Owner or by a third party.
The Owner is available to clarify the specific legal basis applicable to the processing, especially regarding whether the provision of Personal Data is a statutory or contractual requirement or a requirement necessary to enter into a contract.
Place
Data processing occurs at the Owner’s operating offices and any other locations where the parties involved in the processing are situated. Depending on the User’s location, data transfers may involve transmitting the User’s Data to a country other than their own. Users can find details about the processing of such transferred Data in the section containing information about the processing of Personal Data.
Users are entitled to learn about the legal basis for Data transfers to a country outside the European Union. Additionally, Users can inquire about the security measures implemented by the Owner to safeguard their Data during such transfers. If any such transfer takes place, Users can obtain further information by checking the relevant sections of this document or contacting the Owner using the provided contact information.
Retention Time
Personal Data shall be processed and stored for as long as required for the purpose they were collected.
Therefore:
• Personal Data collected for the performance of a contract between the Owner and the User shall be retained until such contract has been fully performed.
• Personal Data collected for the Owner’s legitimate interests shall be retained for as long as needed to fulfill such purposes. Users can find specific information regarding the legitimate interests pursued by the Owner within the relevant sections of this document or by contacting the Owner.
The Owner may retain Personal Data for a longer period if the User has given consent to such processing, provided such consent is not withdrawn. Additionally, the Owner may be obligated to retain Personal Data for a longer period when required for the performance of a legal obligation or upon order of an authority. Once the retention period expires, Personal Data shall be deleted. Consequently, the right to access, erasure, rectification, and data portability cannot be enforced after the expiration of the retention period.
