We process personal data only for necessary purposes, as set out below. We process personal data in accordance with the applicable data protection legislation. The legal basis for the processing of your personal data is, where not stated otherwise or another legal basis is otherwise applicable, the performance of providing our Services to you. We can also process your personal data where we have a legitimate interest to do so, such as for marketing purposes. Where we rely on legitimate interests as a reason and legal basis for processing personal data, we have considered whether or not those interests are overridden by the rights and freedoms of the data subjects and we have concluded that they are not.

Where the processing is such that your consent is required by the applicable legislation, we will state so and obtain your consent, and this will be the legal basis for the processing. However, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. If such withdrawal means that we are no longer able to provide the Services to you, we may cease to provide the Services. 

Personal data will be processed for the following purposes: 

  • Customer service and communication 
  • Provision, design and development of the Services 
  • Measuring customer satisfaction 
  • Marketing, including market research, other marketing promotion and analysis, and the production of statistics and the measurement of marketing effectiveness

While the provisioning of certain personal data is necessary for the use of our services, certain personal data is provided voluntarily. Personal data may be updated and supplemented by collecting data from private and public sources, such as commercially available directories and websites.

If you do not provide Hublet the required information, this may mean that We are not able to provide the Services to you, perform the contract necessary for the provisioning of the Services or to comply with Hublet’s legal obligations. 

In addition to personal data, Hublet will collect non-personal data relating to you. This information includes either anonymous or anonymized data or data linked to personal data that is generated during the use of the Services, such as actions in the Services and access times. 

4. Retention of Personal Data

The personal data we collect is retained for the period necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this privacy policy unless a longer retention period is required by law. Thereafter, the personal data will be deleted within a reasonable timeframe or rendered anonymous. The retention periods depend on the purpose of the processing and type of the information.

5. Recipients of Personal Data

Hublet will not disclose personal data to third parties unless there is a justified reason, legitimate interest, or express consent. Personal data may be disclosed to third parties for processing in accordance with this privacy policy in order to ensure the functioning of the service and customer relationships, regulatory obligations, marketing and customer communications. 

The personal data may also be disclosed to third parties if required under any applicable law or regulation or order by competent authorities, and to investigate possible infringing use of the services as well as to ensure the safety of the Services. In addition, personal data may have to be disclosed in connection with legal proceedings or for similar dispute resolution purposes. 

Hublet may use a variety of service providers and other partners to process data, such as IT-services, Customer Relationship Management services, and Analytics services. The third parties may change. These third parties process information only on behalf of and for the benefit of Hublet. 

Some of the services used by Hublet for processing personal data may operate outside the territory of the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA). Thus, personal data can be transferred regularly outside the EU and the EEA. In case personal data is transferred outside EU/EEA, such transfers are either made to a country that is deemed to provide a sufficient level of privacy protection by the European Commission or transfers are carried out by using appropriate safeguards such as the standard data protection clauses adopted or otherwise approved by the EU Commission. 

We will provide more information regarding the processing and third parties upon request.

6. Protection of Personal Data

We use appropriate technical, administrative and organizational security measures to protect personal data against unauthorized access, disclosure, destruction or other unauthorized processing. 

All parties processing personal data have a duty of confidentiality in matters related to the processing of personal data. Access to personal data is restricted to those employees who need it to perform their duties. Employees and other processors of personal data have personal usernames and passwords. We also require our service providers to have appropriate methods in place to protect personal data. 

Nevertheless, considering the cyber threats in modern day online environment, we cannot give full guarantee that our security measures will prevent illegally and maliciously operating third parties from obtaining access to personal data or absolute security of the personal data during its transmission or storage on our systems.
