§3 INFORMATION TRANSMISSION AND USE

(1.) Usually you can visit the ZeyOS Websites (e.g. https://www.zeyos.com/) or any other Products by ZeyOS without telling us who you are and without giving any personal information about yourself. In some cases, however, ZeyOS or its partners may require you to disclose some information about yourself. For instance, you may give us your credit card details to buy something from us or you might enter your personal contact details when contacting our team. If you tell us that you do not want us to use this information to make further contact with you beyond fulfilling your requests, we will respect your wishes.

(2.) If you give us personal information about somebody else, such as a spouse or work colleague, we assume that you have their permission to do so.

(3.) Upon each of the User’s visits to our Websites, we may automatically collect technical information, including the Internet Protocol (IP) address used to connect Users’ computers to the Internet, your login information, browser type and version, time zone settings, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform.

(4.) ZeyOS may also collect information about the User’s visit to our Websites, including the full Uniform Resource Locators (URL) clickstream to, through and from our site (including date and time), page response times, download errors, length of visits to certain pages, page interaction information (such as scrolling, clicks, and mouse-overs), and methods used to browse away from the page and any phone number used to call our customer service number.

(5.) If you request something from our Websites, for instance, a product or service, a call-back, or specific marketing materials, we will use the information you provide to fulfil your request. To help us do this, we may share information, with others, for instance, other departments of ZeyOS, ZeyOS’s business partners, financial institutions, shipping companies, postal or government authorities (i.e. customs authorities) involved in the fulfilment. In connection with a transaction we may also contact you as part of our customer satisfaction surveys or for market research purposes.

(6.) ZeyOS does not collect payment card details of our Users. In order to pay for the fees related to our Services we use third party payment processors that will collect and process the payment card details of our Users.

(7.) ZeyOS is also working closely with third parties (including, for example, business partners, sub-contractors in technical, payment and delivery services, advertising networks, analytics providers) and may receive information about you from them.

The acceptance to send commercial information is always revocable, without retroactive effects;
(viii.) Understanding and optimizing how our Websites and Products are used;

§5 LEGAL BASIS FOR THE PROCESSING

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the processing of personal data from the parties concerned, Article 6 (1) lit. a of the EU-General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as a legal basis.

For the processing of such personal data, which is necessary to fulfil a contract, where the contract party is the concerned person, Article 6 (1) lit. b GDPR serves as a legal basis. This also applies to personal data processing which is necessary in preparation of a contract.

Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfilment of a legal obligation which our company is under, Article 6 (1) lit. c serves as a legal basis.

In such a case when vital interests of the person concerned or of another natural person render the processing of personal data necessary, Article 6 (1) lit. d serves as a legal basis.

If the processing of personal data is necessary in terms of defending a justified interest on the part of our company or of a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the concerned party do not exceed the aforementioned interest, Article 6 (1) lit. f serves as a legal basis for the processing.

In case when Users purchase our Products, the legal basis for the processing is the performance of the contract entered into by the parties.

In all other cases, the legal basis for the processing is the consent provided by the User.


§6 DATA DISCLOSURE

(1.) The User’s personal data may be disclosed to third parties which are companies that provide services to ZeyOS. These third parties are:
