SocialCloud: A Product of Rebase GmbH
This privacy policy lets you know what happens to the personal data that you provide to us or that we may collect about you. We hope that the following sections will answer any questions that you may have but if not, please get in touch with us.
You can do this at info@rebase.space
This privacy policy, together with our terms and conditions, and any other documents referred to within our terms and conditions, explains how we collect, use, share and safeguard information we obtain about individuals as part of correspondence or inquiries with us or in the course of providing our services. Typically this is through the use of our Gizmos and through using (where you choose to create an account with us), collectively, our “web service”.
With the following information we give you an overview of the processing of your personal data by us and your rights in accordance with the data protection regulations in connection with the use of our web service as a crossprofiling platform.
SocialCloud is a service for the simple connection of digital personal data through analog gadgets (Gizmos). The service is designed to facilitate the exchange of contact information and social media profiles between individuals and/or companies. The web-based service bundles social media profiles and other information that the user wants to transmit. The transmission can be purely electronic or physical via NFC chips which are built into the Gizmos. This is a passive transmission of data which can be received via smartphones or special reading devices. The link to this connection is automatically stored in SocialCloud. It can contain information about social media profiles and other information that must be stored by the user beforehand. The connection takes place in real time. SocialCloud promotes the automation and digitization of the change process. At the same time, it reduces interfaces and thus sources of error.
Which personal data is processed largely depends on the settings you make use of in our services or products.
The data can only be accessed using the functions of the SocialCloud web service for the purpose of making contact. There are no methods for evaluation or analysis for the user or participant.

Right to data transfer: You can download your personal data in a structured, common and machine-readable format from your SocialCloud account.

7. Storage duration

4. Your rights as a data subject
You have certain legal rights, which are briefly summarized below, in relation to any personal data about you which we hold.
Where our processing of your personal data is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. If you do decide to withdraw your consent we will stop processing your personal data for that purpose, unless there is another lawful basis we can rely on – in which case, we will let you know. Your withdrawal of your consent won’t impact any of our processing up to that point.
Where our processing of your personal data is necessary for our legitimate interests, you can object to this processing at any time. If you do this, we will need to show either a compelling reason why our processing should continue, which overrides your interests, rights and freedoms or that the processing is necessary for us to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim.
You as the data subject are entitled to various rights:
Right of withdrawal: You can revoke your consent at any time. Data processing based on the revoked consent may then no longer be continued in the future. As a result, your account will be deleted within 30 days.

This applies in particular to the purposes of data processing, the categories of personal data, if applicable the categories of recipients, the duration of storage, if applicable the origin of your data and, if applicable, the existence of automated decision-making including profiling and, if applicable, meaningful information on their details
Right of rectification: You can correct incorrect or complete your personal data stored with us yourself in the SocialCloud web service.
Right of deletion: You may delete your personal data stored by us, unless the processing thereof is necessary for the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information, for the fulfillment of a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest or for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims.
Right to limit the processing: You may request that your personal data be restricted for processing if you dispute the accuracy of the data, if the processing is unlawful, but you refuse to delete it. You also have this right if we no longer need the data, but you need it to assert, exercise or defend legal claims. In addition, you have this right if you have objected to the processing of your personal data.
Right to data transfer: You can download your personal data in a structured, common and machine-readable format from your SocialCloud account.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in your local jurisdiction. For example, in the UK, this would be the Information Commissioner’s Office.

You will need to provide two copies of your ID which can include your:
● driving license or passport;
● utility bill (covering the last 3 months);
● bank or credit card statement (account redactions acceptable as long as last 4 digits of the card are displayed); or

Once verified, a request received by us will only be processed by SocialCloud, you will need to make separate requests to another entity should you need to.
Right of appeal: You can complain to the supervisory authority responsible for us, for example if you are of the opinion that we are processing your personal data in an unlawful manner. The authority responsible for us is:

5. Your right of objection
If we process your personal data on the basis of a justified interest, you have the right to object to this processing. If you wish to make use of your right of objection, it is sufficient to delete your SocialCloud account.
6. Data security
We use technical and organizational measures to ensure data security, in particular to protect your personal data against unauthorized access by third parties, accidental or intentional alteration, loss or destruction. These are regularly checked and adapted to the current state of the art. The transmission of all data through the SocialCloud web service is encrypted.
7. Storage duration
For the digital connection the data, depending on the type (active/passive and depending on the Gizmo or your own account i.e. private account B2C, company account B2B and B2B2C), will be automatically deleted after a fixed period of time or will be permanently available until you delete your SocialCloud account. Upon deletion, we will delete your account within 30 days.
In addition, we are subject to various retention and documentation obligations. The periods specified there, e.g. from tax law, can be up to 10 years. Furthermore, special legal regulations may require a longer retention period, for example evidence in connection with statutory limitation periods.
If data is no longer required for the fulfillment of contractual or legal obligations, it will be deleted regularly, unless its limited further processing is necessary for the fulfillment of the above-mentioned purposes.
