5. HOW CLOSELY USES INFORMATION ABOUT YOU AS A TEST PILOT OR HOLDER OF A CUSTOMER ACCOUNT
When you buy a product from us on Closely or when you are a registered Test Pilot, we will use your purchase and order history as well as user history (e.g. how you click or search on our website) to gain an insight into and be able to understand which products or services you are interested in and if there are other similar products we also think you would like.
Based on this information, we at Closely will be able to provide you with information about news in our range. We will also be able to send you special benefits based on your/the company's interests and preferences and other similar mailings. This information is necessary so that we can give you as a Test Pilot additional offers in addition to what we offer to other customers.
If you do not want us to use your customer history to send you offers and other member benefits, you always have the right to unsubscribe from such mailings. If you do not want us to use your customer history at all (e.g. when we develop and improve our products or improve technical functionality), you always have the right to cancel your Test Pilot or Customer account.
6. WHEN WE MAY SHARE YOUR DATA
Closely only shares your personal data when this is a legal requirement or otherwise when it is permitted by law. In some cases, we may use a personal data assistant to help us with our marketing or to handle contracts and orders. A personal data processor is a company that processes the information on our behalf and according to our instructions. We have personal data assistants who help us with:
1) Transportation (logistics companies and freight forwarders)
2) Payment solutions (card processing companies, banks and other payment service providers)
3) Marketing
4) IT services
In such cases, we have entered into an agreement for the personal data processor which ensures that there are security measures in place to protect your data. When we share your information, it will be used for the same purpose for which we originally collected it.
Closely minimizes the transfer of personal data to a country outside the EU/EEA and in cases where this occurs, such as in the case of systemic support and maintenance, this takes place according to particularly high requirements and agreements.
We do not share personal information with a third party without your consent. Regardless of the country in which your personal data is processed, we take all reasonable legal, technical and organizational measures to ensure that the level of protection is the same as within the EU/EEA. In cases where personal data is processed outside the EU/EEA, the level of protection is guaranteed either through a decision from the European Commission that the country in question ensures an adequate level of protection or through the use of so-called appropriate protection measures.
