1. Party Responsible for Data Processing

The party responsible pursuant to Art. 4 Para. 7 of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is:

• SEAL Robotics (not yet incorporated)

You can reach our data protection officer by sending an e-mail to contact@seal-robotics.com with the subject “Data protection officer” or to our postal address with the additional line “Data protection officer.”

3. General Data Collection when Calling up our Website

If you use our website for informational purposes only, which is to say, if you do not register or transmit information to us in another manner, in addition to technical information about the terminal device (operating system, screen resolution, and other non-personal properties) and the browser (version and language settings) you use, we will collect the public IP address of the computer you use to visit our website, including the date and time of your access, in particular. We and our service provider are generally not aware of who is behind an IP address unless you provide us with data that makes this identification possible while you use our website.

The data collected is required for technical reasons so we can present our website and guarantee both its stability and security.

The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 f of the GDPR.In the scope of weighing interests according to Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 f of the GDPR, we have considered and weighed our interests in provisioning and your interest having your personal data processed in a manner that complies with data privacy legislation. The following data for provisioning our services is occasionally required for technical reasons in order to present our website to you and to guarantee its stability and security, and especially to protect against its misuse. In light of this, we reached the conclusion that this data can be processed (with state-of-the-art data security guaranteed), whereby your interest in processing that is compliant with data privacy legislation is taken into consideration appropriately.

Recording data to provision the website and storing data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the Internet site. Users therefore have no opportunity to object to this.

4. Cookies – General Information

We use what are referred to as cookies on different sites in order to make visits to our websites attractive and enable the use of certain functions. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your terminal device. Some of the cookies we use are deleted again after the end of the browser session, which is to say, after you close your browser (they are referred to as session cookies). Other cookies remain on your terminal device and allow us or our partner companies to recognize your browser the next time you visit the site (they are referred to as long-term cookies). Cookies can be used neither to access other files on your computer nor to determine your e-mail address. Your consent applies to the following domains: seal-robotics.com

5. Contact Form / Contact Form Repairs

When you contact us by e-mail or using a contact form, we will store the data you send us (your e-mail address and, if applicable, your name and phone number, customer number, and order number) in order to answer your questions. Wherever we have requested information that is not required to contact you on our contact form, we have indicated that this information is optional. This information helps us substantiate your inquiry and improve the processing of your issue. This information is provided expressly on a voluntary basis and with your consent pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 a of the GDPR. As far as this constitutes information regarding communication channels (such as e-mail address and phone number), you also consent that we may also contact you via this communication channel in order to address your issue. Of course, you may revoke this consent at any time and with effect for the future.

We will delete data accrued in this context once it is no longer necessary to save it, or we will restrict processing if legal storage obligations exist.

6. Forwarding Data

Your personal data will not be forwarded to third parties for purposes beside those mentioned. We will forward your data to third parties only if:

• You have granted your express consent to this.
• This forwarding is necessary for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims, and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding legitimate interest in the non-forwarding of your data.
• There is a legal obligation to forward the data.
• This is legally permissible and necessary for processing contractual relationships with you.
• In the event of our legitimate interest.

Your personal data is forwarded in the scope of a contact request initiated by you and using the contact forms. The data entered in the contact form is forwarded within SEAL Robotics in the process to make it possible to optimally respond to your inquiry. The legal basis for forwarding is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 f of the GDPR, which is to say, our legitimate interest in being able to give our customers the best possible answers and thus improve contact with customers.

Additionally, our web hoster Strato has access to your personal data, which happens inevitably during the hosting process and cannot be avoided. However, in the scope of contractual agreements, we guarantee that our web hoster does not use your data in an unauthorized manner and, instead, stores it securely.

7. Instruction: Rights of Persons Affected

Every person affected has the right to information pursuant to Art. 15 of the GDPR, the right to correction pursuant to Art. 16 of the GDPR, the right to deletion pursuant to Art. 17 of the GDPR, the right to restriction of processing pursuant to Art. 18 of the GDPR, the right to objection issuing from Art. 21 of the GDPR, and the right to data transferability issuing from Art. 20 of the GDPR.

Instruction on the option of lodging a complaint: You also have the right to lodge a complaint concerning our processing of your personal data with the responsible data protection supervisory authority.\

Instruction on revocation of consent: Once you have granted us your consent to the processing of personal data, you may revoke it at any time. Please note that the revocation shall be effective only for the future. It shall not impact any processing that took place before the revocation.

Right of objection: Pursuant to Art. 21 Para. 1 S. 1 of the GDPR, you have the right to file an objection against the processing of your personal data based upon Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 e or f of the GDPR at all times. Please note that the objection shall be effective only for the future. It shall not impact any processing that took place before the objection.

If any necessary reasons that are worthy of protection speak in favor of processing on our part and outweigh your interests, rights, and freedoms, or if the processing serves to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims, no objection shall be possible.
