When Procys Acts as Data Controller

Processing is based on:

Consent

Where required by law, Procys processes Personal Data on the basis of the data subject's freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous consent. This includes, in particular, the use of non-essential cookies and similar tracking technologies, the sending of direct marketing communications, and the processing of information submitted through optional website forms or preference settings. Data subjects may withdraw their consent at any time with effect for the future, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal.

Contractual Necessity

Where processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party (e.g., to create and maintain a customer account, deliver support, or provide the Services as subscribed to), or to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into such a contract.

Legal Obligation

Where processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation to which Procys is subject under Union or Member State law, including but not limited to financial record-keeping, tax reporting, response to lawful governmental requests, and compliance with court orders or similar legal process.

Legitimate Interests

Where processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by Procys or by a third party (except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data). Legitimate interests include fraud prevention, network and information security, internal administration and reporting, and direct marketing in the context of existing business relationships where permitted by applicable law.

When Procys Acts as Data Processor

Processing is carried out solely on the basis of the documented instructions of the Data Controller (the Customer), which must establish an appropriate lawful basis under Article 6(1) GDPR for the relevant processing.

7. Data Subject Rights (GDPR Chapter III)

In accordance with Articles 15–22 GDPR, data subjects have the following rights with respect to their Personal Data:

Right of Access (Art. 15)

Data subjects have the right to obtain from Procys confirmation as to whether or not Personal Data concerning them is being processed, and, where that is the case, to access that Personal Data and to receive information about the processing, including the purposes of processing, the categories of data concerned, the recipients or categories of recipients, the retention period, and the existence of other rights.

Right to Rectification (Art. 16)

Data subjects have the right to obtain the rectification of inaccurate Personal Data and to have incomplete Personal Data completed, taking into account the purposes of the processing.

Right to Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten") (Art. 17)

Data subjects have the right to obtain the erasure of Personal Data concerning them without undue delay where one of the grounds set out in Article 17(1) GDPR applies, such as where the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, where consent has been withdrawn and there is no other legal ground for the processing, or where the data has been unlawfully processed. This right is subject to the exceptions set out in Article 17(3), including where retention is necessary to comply with a legal obligation or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

Right to Restriction of Processing (Art. 18)

Data subjects have the right to obtain restriction of processing where one of the conditions set out in Article 18(1) GDPR is met, including where the accuracy of the Personal Data is contested, where the processing is unlawful but the data subject opposes erasure and requests restriction instead, or where the data subject needs the data for legal claims but Procys no longer requires it for its purposes.

Right to Data Portability (Art. 20)

Where processing is based on consent or contract and is carried out by automated means, data subjects have the right to receive the Personal Data concerning them in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to transmit those data to another controller where technically feasible.

Right to Object (Art. 21)

Data subjects have the right to object, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to processing of Personal Data based on legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)) or for public interest / official authority (Art. 6(1)(e)). Procys shall cease such processing unless it demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims. Data subjects also have an unconditional right to object to processing for direct marketing purposes.

Right to Withdraw Consent (Art. 7(3))

Where processing is based on consent, data subjects have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

Right Not to be Subject to Automated Decision-Making (Art. 22)

Data subjects have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them, unless one of the exceptions in Article 22(2) applies. Where automated decision-making is used, Procys (or the Customer, as applicable) shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms, including the right to obtain human intervention, to express their point of view, and to contest the decision.
