Please note that some of the enlisted rights may be limited for the requests, which expose the personal information of another individual who is subject to the very same rights for privacy. In such a case, we will not be able to satisfy your request for data deletion if it contains information we are eligible to keep by law.

The right to be informed and to access information. You have legal rights to access your personal data, as well as request if we use this data for any purpose. Complying with our general policy, we will provide you with a free copy of your personal information in use within a month after we receive your request. We will send your information in use via a password-protected PDF file. For excessive or repeated requests, we are eligible to charge a fee. In case of numerous or complex requests, we are eligible to prolong our response time by as much as two additional months. Under such circumstances, you will be informed about the reasons of these extensions. In case, we refuse to address a particular request, we will explain why it happens and provide you with a list of further actions you are eligible to proceed. If shall you wish to take further action, we will require two trusted IDs from you to prove your identity. You may forward your requests to our Data Protection Officer ([email protected]). Please provide information about the nature of your request to help us process your inquiry.

The right for rectification. In case you believe, we store any of your personal data, which is incorrect or incomplete, you may request us to correct or supplement it. You also have the right to introduce changes to your information by logging into your account with us.

The right to erase, or “the right to be forgotten”. Under this principle, you may request us to delete or remove your personal data if there is no solid reason for your data continued processing. If you would like us to remove you from our database, please e-mail [email protected]). The right to be forgotten may be brought into force under the following reasons:

  • Data, which no longer has a relation to its original purpose for the collection.
  • You withdraw consent with respect to the original reason data was processed, and there is no other reason for us to continue to store and process your personal data.
  • You have objections to processing your personal data, and there are no overriding legitimate reasons for us to continue to process it.
  • Your personal data has been unlawfully processed.
  • Your personal data has to be deleted to comply with a legal obligation in a European Union or a Member State law to which Naviteq is subject.
  • Your personal data has been collected in relation to the offer of information society services.

The right to restrict processing. Under this right, you may request us to limit the processing your personal data. In this regard, we are eligible to store information that is sufficient to identify which data you want to be blocked, but cannot process it further. The right to restrict processing applies to the following cases:

  • Where you contest the accuracy of your personal data, we will restrict data processing until we have verified the accuracy of your personal data.
  • Where you have objected to data processing under legitimate interests, we will consider whether our legitimate interests override yours.
  • When data processing is unlawful, and you oppose data deletion and request restriction instead.
  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you require this data to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim.

If we have disclosed your personal data in question to third parties, we will inform them about the restriction on data processing, unless it is impossible or involves disproportionate effort to do so. We will inform you if we decide to lift a restriction on data processing.

The right to object. You are eligible to object to processing your personal data based on legitimate interests (including profiling) and direct marketing (including profiling). The objection must be on “grounds relating to his or her particular situation.” We will inform you of your right to object in the first communication you receive from us. We will stop processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes, as soon as we receive an objection.

The right to data portability. You are eligible to obtain your personal data, which is processed by Naviteq, to use it for your own purposes. It means you have the right to receive your personal data — that you have shared with us—in a structured machine-readable format, so you can further transfer the data to a different data controller. This right applies in the following circumstances:

  • Where you have provided the data to Naviteq.
  • Where data processing is carried out because you have given Naviteq your consent to do so.
  • Where data processing is carried out to develop a contract between you and Naviteq.
  • Where data processing is carried out automatically. (No membership data is processed using automated means, so this right does not apply).

Withdrawal of consent. If we process your personal data based on your consent (as indicated at the time of collection of such data), you have the right to withdraw your consent at any point in time. Please note, that if you exercise this right, you may have to then provide your consent on a case-by-case basis for the use or disclosure of certain personal data, if such use or disclosure is necessary to enable you to utilize some or all of our services.

Right to file a complaint. You have the right to file a complaint about manipulations applied to your data by Naviteq with the supervisory authority of your country or a European Union Member State.

10. Data security and protection

We use data hosting service providers in the United States and Ireland to store the information we collect, and we do use extra technical measures to secure your data.

These measures include without limitation: data encryption, password-protected access to personal information, limited access to sensitive data, encrypted transfer of sensitive data (HTTPS, IPSec, TLS, PPTP, and SSH) firewalls and VPN, intrusion detection, and antivirus on all the production servers.

The data collected by third-party providers is protected by them and is subject to their terms and privacy policies.

The data collected on our websites by Naviteq, as well as the data, which you entrust us under NDAs and contracts, is protected by us. We follow the technical requirements of GDPR and ensure security standards are met without exception.

Though we implement safeguards designed to protect your information, no security system is impenetrable and due to the inherent nature of the Internet, we cannot guarantee that data is absolutely safe from intrusion by others during transmission through the Internet, or while stored on our systems, or otherwise in our care.

We collect information worldwide and primarily store this information in the United States and Ireland. We transfer, process, and store your information outside of your country of residence across regions wherever we or our third-party service providers operate for the purpose of delivering our services to you and for maintenance and support purposes. Whenever we transfer your information, we take precautionary measures to protect it. Thus, the data by third-party providers may be transferred to different countries globally for processing. These data transfers fall under the terms and privacy policies of these providers and (or) under standard data protection clauses.

The data collected by Naviteq may be transferred across our offices. Headquartered in Israel.
