  1. The Application of this Policy

2 Types of Personal Information We Collect

“Personal information” in this Policy means information that identifies or is capable of identifying you as an individual. The types of personal information that we may process include any information you choose to send to use or provided during any contact with us and any other information required to comply with applicable local laws.

Save to the extent required by law, you are not obliged to provide us with any of your Sensitive Personal Information.

3 How We Use Personal Information

Subject to applicable laws, we may collect, use, process and disclose portions of your personal information on the basis of GDPR art. 6(1)(c) to ensure compliance with a legal obligation such as:

  • to meet legal and regulatory requirements; 
  • for tax purposes;

We may use the personal data described above for the following purposes on the legal basis of GDPR art. 6(1)(f) where it is for a legitimate interest such as:

  • for internal operations, including data analysis, research, statistical and survey purposes (in anonymized form where appropriate) and direct marketing and sales promotions (although please see Section 8 below for more information about how we conduct direct marketing);

  • to respond to question/requests for information from you to us;
  • to test and evaluate new products and services; and

When we process your personal information, as detailed above, we do this because of legal obligations we are subject to, because the information is required to fulfil your contact request, or for other legitimate purposes.

BaseCamp uses and retains your personal information for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it is being processed, and in line with our legal and regulatory obligations. 

4 Disclosures of Personal Information

From time to time, we may disclose your personal information in accordance with applicable law.

Circumstances where we might make such disclosure (in addition to those described in Part 3 above) include to Service Providers and Suppliers.

We may outsource the processing of information to third parties. When we do outsource the processing of your personal information to third parties or provide your personal information to third-party service providers, those third parties are required by us to provide the same level of protection for your personal information as provided in the terms and conditions of this Policy, with appropriate security measures. 

Where we hold personal information about you, we may disclose this personal information to other companies to process the information in order to better understand your preferences and interests, thereby enabling us to provide a better service to you. If your personal information is used for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object to that by contacting us using the contact information provided under Section 11 below. Further information about how we conduct direct marketing may be found at Section 7 below.

  • Business Change

As we continue to develop our business, we may sell sites and or other assets, or cease being the manager of a site. In those circumstances, we may include the personal information collected about you, or control of that personal information, as a business asset in any such transfer. Also, in the unlikely event that we, or substantially all of our assets, are acquired, personal information collected about you, or control of such information, may be one of the transferred assets.

  • Legal Requirements

We will disclose any personal information we have concerning you if we are compelled to do so by a court or lawfully requested to do so by a governmental entity, or if we determine it is necessary or desirable to comply with the law or to protect or defend our rights or property in accordance with applicable laws. We will also retain personal information collected and process such personal information to comply with accounting and tax rules and regulations and any specific data retention laws. We may share it with others for our own good governance obligations, or in order to enforce or to protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of our customers or other persons with whom we have a business relationship.

5 Transfers of Personal Information

The majority of any processing of any personal information you provide will be conducted in Germany in accordance with applicable local laws.

However, as an international business, we have centralised certain aspects of our data processing activities in accordance with applicable laws, which will result in the transfer of your personal information from one country to another. The jurisdictions where that information will be processed may or may not have laws that seek to preserve the privacy of personal information. Nevertheless, whenever your personal information is transferred, your personal information will be processed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Policy and applicable laws. Currently, we operate in the following jurisdictions, all of which are bound by or have implemented the European Union data privacy regulations:

  • Germany; 
  • Luxembourg;
  • United Kingdom.

Additionally, some of the third-party suppliers or property owners to which we transfer your personal information may be based in different locations, some of which may have lower standards of data protection than in the country in which you stay with us. When we do transfer personal information to such third parties, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, and oblige those third parties to protect your personal information in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Policy, with appropriate security measures. These third parties broadly fall into two groups: (i) locally provided suppliers supporting individual Locations operating in the countries in which we operate; or (ii) service providers, supporting us as a whole, who may be located in our or outside of countries we operate in.
