The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to provide you with information on how Nextgen processes your personal data.

The Personal Data Policy is applicable to the Nextgen Distribution websites (www.storage-parts.com; www.nextgendistribution.in; www.nextgendistribution.co.uk), web services, EDI, online applications and services and marketing activities that refer or have links to the Personal Data Policy (referred to jointly as our "Services").

This Personal Data Policy is applicable to all our Services, but we may also prepare specific supplements providing further information on our processing of personal data for one or more Services. These supplements are applicable to your use of the Services that they cover.

The Personal Data Policy is applicable regardless of whether you use a computer, a mobile phone, a tablet or another device to access our Services.

It is important for you to read the Personal Data Policy carefully so that you know how we use your personal data.

1. Data controller

Nextgen Distribution, is the data controller for the processing of personal data described in the Privacy Policy. Information on how to get in touch with us can be found at the end of this Personal Data Policy.

2. The data we collect, and why

Account and profile creation

Users can create accounts or profiles in a number of our Services. In connection with these Services, we will ask you to submit certain data about yourself so that we can create the account or profile (e.g. your name, address and email address and whether you represent a company, as well as data about your job and the company you represent).

It is necessary to process your data so that we can create an account and profile at your request, register you or your device for a Service and provide the Service or a function that you request. The General Data Protection Regulation, art. 6, para. 1 (b) and (f) provides the legal basis for this processing operation.

Some of our Services allow you to communicate with other people. These communications are transferred via our systems and stored on them solely so that we can offer you this communication option. We do not access such data.

Purchasing products and services

If you order a product or service from us, we will ask you to submit data about yourself. If you represent a company, we will ask you for your company name, CBR number, name, company contact details (telephone and email), shipping address(es) and billing address(es) and credit card details. If you are a private individual, we will ask you for your company name, contact details (telephone and email), shipping address(es) and billing address(es) and credit card details.

This processing of data is necessary so that we can provide the products or services that you have ordered and so that we can fulfill our agreement with one another. We may also process data relating to your purchases in order to meet legal requirements in respect of bookkeeping and accounting, for example. The General Data Protection Regulation, art. 6, para. 1 (b) and (c) provides the legal basis.

Competition entries and participation in customer surveys

You may also be offered the opportunity to enter competitions and participate in customer surveys. In connection with these competitions and surveys, we will ask you for certain data about yourself, such as your name, address and email address and whether you represent a company, as well as data about your job and the company you represent. We also process the responses to surveys that you submit. Participation in surveys is voluntary.

Processing is necessary so that we can safeguard our legitimate interests as regards offering competitions and prize draws to our customers and users for promotional and other purposes, and so that we can assess and analyse our market, customers, products and services with a view to improving and optimising our business. The General Data Protection Regulation, art. 6, para. 1 (f) provides the legal basis.

Newsletters

When you sign up for our newsletter, we collect data about your email address for that purpose and so that we can safeguard our interests in being able to provide newsletters to you. The General Data Protection Regulation, art. 6, para. 1 (f) provides the legal basis for this processing operation.

Data on your use of the Services

Besides the data that you yourself provide, we may collect data about your use of our Services. Among other things, we may collect device data such as your IP address, operating system version, browser type and version and the settings on the device you are using to access the Services. We may use cookies, beacons and other technologies in certain areas of our Services. We may also process log data, such as the time and duration of your use of the Service and search terms that you enter using the Services.

We may process the data collected in order to optimise the user experience and the function of the Services; in order to understand how our Services are being used so that we can improve them and develop new products and services, in order to offer maintenance services for your device, and in order to deliver customised content and provide recommendations based on your previous activities on our Services.

This processing of data is necessary so that we can safeguard our interests in improving our Services and products, and so that we can show you relevant content and advertising. The General Data Protection Regulation, art. 6, para. 1, letter f provides the legal basis for this processing operation.

Data from other sources

We may receive data about you from publicly and commercially available sources (which is permitted in accordance with the law), which we may combine with other data we receive from or about you.

We may also receive data about you when you choose to use price portals, purchase portals or associations such as Synaxon, Stockinthechannel, Webmercs and similar. Before using such services, you should read the service's information on how they process your personal data.

Direct marketing

The data that you submit and that we collect relating to you may be used to provide you with data about campaigns, special offers, competitions, service notifications and other data about our products and services (direct marketing) that we think may be of interest to you.

We will only send direct marketing by email or other electronic mail in accordance with applicable legislation. This means, for example, that we may send direct marketing material to you by email with your prior consent (registration) or, in some cases, on the basis of the existing customer relationship.

Your consent is normally obtained when you check a specific consent field when using our Services, or when you fill in a form, but we may also obtain your consent in other situations, e.g. verbally via your personal account manager.

When you receive direct marketing from us by email, you will always have the opportunity to refuse to receive such communications in the future.

You can also notify us at any time (ideally by sending an email to info@storage-parts.com ) that you no longer wish to receive direct marketing from us.

Our legitimate interest in being able to market our Services and products to you – ref. the General Data Protection Regulation. art. 6, para. 1 (f) – provides the legal basis for the processing of your direct marketing data. E-marketing will always be based on your consent.

Voluntary responses and freedom of choice

Providing data for the stated purposes is voluntary, but failing to give us this data may affect your options for using certain Services or making purchases from us.

We give you a series of options in regards to how we use your data. You can decide whether you want to receive advertising from us by following the instructions on unsubscribing that are included in the communication
