6. Data Collection

NovaCair collects two types of data regarding its Visitors and Users:

  1. Unidentified and non-identifiable information pertaining to a Visitor or an unauthenticated User, which we have obtained or automatically collected through their use of the Services ("Non-Personal Data"). Non-Personal Data does not allow us to identify the specific Visitor or User to whom it relates. The Non-Personal Data we collect primarily consists of technical information and aggregated usage data, such as browsing behavior and "click-stream" activity of Visitors and Users on the Services, session heatmaps, scroll information, and non-identifying information regarding devices, operating systems, web browsers, screen resolutions, language, and keyboard settings.
  2. Individually identifiable information, meaning information that identifies an individual or from which an individual's identity can be reasonably deduced, or information of a potentially personal or sensitive nature ("Personal Data"). The Personal Data we collect primarily consists of contact information (such as email address or phone number), billing details (such as name, physical billing address, payment method, and transaction details, collected exclusively from Users of Paid Services), browser or usage session data (IP address, geographic location, and/or unique device identifier), correspondence (including communications sent or uploaded via our Services), and any other Personal Data provided by Visitors and/or Users while utilizing our Services. For the avoidance of doubt, Non-Personal Data that is linked to Personal Data (for example, to improve our Services) will be treated and considered by us as Personal Data for as long as such linkage persists.

NovaCair only collects personal data if you use our services and/or because you provide this data to NovaCair yourself.

7. Processing of Personal Data

Novacair processes various types of personal data for different purposes. Article 6 specified which personal data is collected. Article 7 outlines the purposes for which this personal data is processed.

We process Non-Personal Data and Personal Data for the following purposes:

  1. To provide and operate the services;
  2. To further develop, customize, and improve our services based on the collective or personal preferences, experiences, and/or issues of Visitors and Users;
  3. To provide our Users with customer and technical support;
  4. To contact our Visitors and Users with general or personalized notices regarding our services;
  5. To enhance our data security and fraud prevention features;
  6. To comply with all applicable laws and regulations.

We will only use your Personal Data for the purposes described in Article 7 above if we are satisfied that:

  • the use of your Personal Data is necessary to perform a contract or take steps to enter into a contract with you (for instance, to provide you with customer or technical support), or
  • the use of your Personal Data is necessary to comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject, or
  • the use of your Personal Data is necessary to serve our legitimate business interests as a company (for example, to maintain and improve our Services), provided that this is always done in a proportionate manner and with due regard for your privacy rights.

Our Services are not intended for children under the age of 16. No one under 16 should provide Personal Data to us through any of our Services. We do not knowingly collect Personal Data from children under 16. Parents and guardians should always supervise their children's online activities.

Provision of Services

To guarantee optimal service delivery, NovaCair utilizes various types of personal data. This may include your name, address, phone number, email, and other potential personal data, as well as sensitive personal data such as physical condition and medication use. Without this personal data, NovaCair is unable to provide these services.

Third Parties

NovaCair engages external companies, subcontractors, and/or suppliers (so-called data processors) who perform specific tasks or assignments on behalf of NovaCair, with whom your personal data may be shared. These service providers process your personal data exclusively on behalf of NovaCair. Processing by certain service providers is governed by a data processing agreement, in which NovaCair has ensured that the service provider will process personal data solely according to NovaCair's instructions.

Some examples of processors include:

  • external hosting providers, including cloud providers for the storage and management of your data;
  • external parties to whom specific tasks have been outsourced, including IT support, email marketing, and facility management;
  • external advisors and/or consultants.

Additionally, NovaCair may provide your personal data to external parties, such as the police and government authorities, if NovaCair is entitled or required to do so pursuant to applicable laws and/or regulations, by means of a court order or judicial ruling, or if you have given your consent.

If certain information is necessary to access specific functionalities of the website, the controller will indicate the mandatory nature of this information at the time the data is requested.

8. Your rights regarding your data

Pursuant to Article 13(2)(b) of the GDPR, every data subject has the right to access, rectify, or erase their personal data, or to restrict the processing concerning them, as well as the right to object to processing and the right to data portability. You can exercise these rights by contacting us via [email protected].

Any such request must be accompanied by a copy of a valid ID, bearing your signature and stating the address at which you can be contacted. You will receive a response to your request within 1 month of submission. Depending on the complexity and number of requests, this period may be extended by up to 2 months if necessary.

  • NovaCair has removed the final octet of your IP address. IP addresses consist of 4 so-called octets of 3 digits each. Google offers the option to remove the final octet of website visitors' IP addresses. This takes place in temporary memory, even before the IP address is stored by Google.
  • NovaCair has disabled data sharing settings with Google within Google Analytics, preventing Google from using the data for its own (advertising) purposes.
  • NovaCair does not use Google Analytics in combination with other Google services.
