VII. To track and analyze user behavior and interaction with our sales contact form to enhance user experience and improve our services. This data is shared with third-party analytics services, specifically Google Analytics.

3. What is the legitimacy of the processing of your data?

The legal basis for the processing indicated in sections (I) and (II) is the execution of the Conditions of Use and of the Contract.

With regard to sections (III), (IV) and (V), the legal basis is the consent given by the user, which he may revoke at any time without affecting the provision of the service. You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting the following e-mail address: [email protected].

With regard to section (VII), the legal basis is the legitimate interest of KrakenD to understand user interactions with our services and enhance user experience. This analysis is carried out in a way that respects your privacy rights and interests.

Notwithstanding the electronic and non-electronic commercial communications sent when we have your consent as cited above, we may also send you communications when you are our customer. In this case, we will only send you information that is linked to us and that is related to products and/or services of ours that are identical or similar to those you have contracted. In these cases, we have a legitimate interest in processing your contact details and keeping you informed about any of our products and services, and this interest takes precedence over your rights in view of the non-sensitive nature of the data in question and the fact that the contractual relationship created with our customers results in the reasonable expectation of receiving this type of communication.

Finally, the legal basis for the treatment indicated in section (VI) is compliance with the regulations applicable to the Company (as is the case with Law 58/2003, of 17 December, on General Taxation; and Law 35/2006, of 28 November, on Personal Income Tax and partially amending the laws on Corporation Tax, Non-Resident Income Tax and Wealth Tax, and their respective implementing regulations, and other regulations that may be applicable).

In particular, the personal data necessary to send you electronic commercial communications will be processed until you revoke the consent you have given and, once this has been withdrawn, for the time strictly necessary to respond to any liabilities that may have arisen. In any case, when the personal data is not necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and until it is definitively deleted, it will be kept blocked.

5. To which recipients will your data be communicated?

No data will be communicated to third parties unless legally obliged to do so or when strictly necessary to defend the rights and legitimate interests of KrakenD. Without prejudice to the above, personal data will be accessible to those third parties to whom KrakenD has entrusted a service in their capacity as data processors (e.g. technical and IT support providers), both with regard to the operation of the business and the administration of the Company. The Company shall enter into written agreements with the third parties participating in the provision of the services, which shall include the safeguards and guarantees required by the GDPR.

In addition to those detailed above, we share data with third-party analytics service providers, specifically Google Analytics, for the purpose of understanding and improving user interaction with our sales contact form. We ensure that these third-party services are compliant with data protection regulations and they are not permitted to use your data for their own purposes.

In any case, please note that KrakenD enters into agreements with such suppliers to ensure a level of data protection equivalent to that provided by European regulations. In particular, where necessary, standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission will be signed and, for international transfers to the United States, it will be ensured that contracted providers are registered with the EU-US Privacy Shield agreement.
