1 Introduction
Thank you for your interest in data processing at NALA.care. With this data protection declaration, we would like to transparently inform you about how we collect, store and process data. The following privacy policy explains which personal data NALA.care collects in connection with the use of and the services offered and how NALA.care processes this data.

The NALA.care App (hereinafter referred to as the “App”) publishes. NALA.care App does not have access to or insight into your personal data. NALA.care is the sole publisher of the App and is solely responsible for the development, content, data management and customer support.

NALA.care processes personal data on the basis of various legal grounds pursuant to Art. 6 (1) DSGVO, therefore we inform you about this in detail so that you can decide whether you wish to consent to the processing of your data. The use of the app and its content requires the understanding and consent to various purposes of this privacy policy and is done when using the app for the first time.

2 What is personal data?
The term personal data is defined in the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG), the Schengen Data Protection Act (SDSG) and in the European Data Protection Regulation EU-DSGVO. Accordingly, this is individual information about personal or factual circumstances of a specific or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, your civil name, your address, your telephone number or your date of birth. Likewise, special personal data is collected when using the app, such as: blood pressure values, BMI data. For this, NALA.care takes increased measures so that an appropriate level of protection is guaranteed in accordance with Art 32 DSGVO.

3 Legal basis for the processing of personal data
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing operations of personal data, Art. 6 (1) a) DSGVO and Art. 9 (2) a) DSGVO serve as the legal basis for the processing of personal data.

When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 (1) (b) DSGVO serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures or are required for support requests.

Insofar as processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 (1) c) DSGVO serves as the legal basis.

In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person make processing of personal data necessary, Art. 6 (1) (d) DSGVO serves as the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override the former interest, Art. 6 (1) f) DSGVO serves as the legal basis for the processing.

6.2 Right to rectification
You have a right to rectification and/or completion vis-à-vis the controller if the processed personal data concerning you are inaccurate or incomplete. The controller shall carry out the rectification without undue delay.

6.3 Right to restriction of processing
You may request the restriction of the processing of your personal data under the following conditions:

if you dispute the accuracy of your personal data for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
the processing is unlawful and you object to the erasure of the personal data and request instead the restriction of the use of the personal data;
the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but you need them for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims; or
if you have objected to the processing pursuant to Article 21 (1) DSGVO and it is not yet clear whether the legitimate grounds of the controller outweigh your grounds.
If the processing of your personal data has been restricted, this data may – apart from being stored – only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the Union or a Member State.

If the restriction of processing has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.

6.4 Right to erasure
You may request the controller to erase your personal data without delay, and the controller is obliged to erase this data without delay, if one of the following reasons applies:

The personal data concerning you are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
b) You revoke your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6 (1) a) or Art. 9 (2) a) DSGVO and there is no other legal basis for the processing.

The right to erasure does not exist to the extent that the processing is necessary
For the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information;
for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject, or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
for reasons of public interest in the area of public health pursuant to Art. 9 (2) (h) and (i) and Art. 9 (3) DSGVO;
for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 (1) DSGVO, insofar as the right referred to in paragraph 1 is likely to render impossible or seriously prejudice the achievement of the purposes of such processing, or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

6.5 Right to information
If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against the controller, the controller is obliged to inform all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed of this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. You have the right vis-à-vis the controller to be informed about these recipients.

the processing is carried out with the help of automated procedures.
In exercising this right, you also have the right to have your personal data transferred directly from one controller to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible. Freedoms and rights of other persons must not be affected by this.

The right to data portability does not apply to processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

6.7 Right to object
You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(e) or (f) DSGVO; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

The controller will no longer process your personal data unless it can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

If your personal data is processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to processing of your personal data for such marketing; this also applies to profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct marketing.

6.8 Right to revoke the declaration of consent under data protection law.
You have the right to revoke your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The revocation of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.

6.9 Automated decision in individual cases including profiling.
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing – including profiling – which produces legal effects vis-à-vis her or similarly significantly affects her. This does not apply if the decision:

is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the controller,
is permitted by legislation of the Union or the Member States to which the controller is subject and that legislation contains adequate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, or
is carried out with your explicit consent.
However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Article 9(1) of the GDPR, unless Article 9(2)(a) or (g) of the GDPR applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect the rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests.
With regard to the cases mentioned in a. and c., the Controller shall take reasonable measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person on the part of the Controller, to express your point of view and to contest the decision.

6.10 Right to complain to a supervisory authority.
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your residence, workplace or the place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of your personal data infringes the GDPR. The supervisory authority to which the complaint has been submitted will inform the complainant of the status and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Article 78 GDPR.

7 User surveys for product optimization
Our claim is that users feel the maximum satisfaction when using our digital solutions. As developers, we rely on receiving direct feedback from our users. For this purpose, we usually include information about suggestions for improvement, bugs or malfunctions and additional functions. As a rule, primarily information about the product is collected, however, this information is brought in connection with your user data, so that a processing of personal data must take place.

Our legal basis for contacting you to participate in a feedback conversation or feedback form is formed by Art. 6 (1) lit. f) DSGVO. The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. In addition, the data will be deleted if you request the deletion of personal data (information from the surveys).

8 Integration of other third-party services and content.
Our app and related communications (for example, emails) may contain links to third-party websites. However, we have no influence on information and offers on third-party websites. Similarly, we cannot influence how third-party providers handle data collected on their own websites. We are therefore not responsible for the compliance with data protection and other legal provisions by third-party providers with links in the app or related communications. If you have any questions about this, please contact these third-party providers directly.

9 Duration of storage of personal data
Personal data is stored for the duration of the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of the period, the data is routinely deleted, unless there is a necessity for initiating or fulfilling a contract.

10 Security
We have taken extensive technical and operational precautions to protect your data from accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorized persons. Our security procedures are regularly reviewed and adapted to technological progress. In addition, data protection is continuously guaranteed at our company, through constant auditing and optimization of the data protection organization.
