In providing the SaaS service Next Matter GmbH („we“ or “us”), we act as a data processor on behalf of our customers pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR. A data processing agreement (“DPA”) is part of our customer agreements. The DPA can be found here.
The DPA covers all data and processing activities within the SaaS service (e.g. “customer content” like your workflow data).
Specific privacy policy for Google Users
If you authorize Next Matter to access your Google account, we process your email address and any data you choose to sync with your Next Matter account strictly to enable services such as integrations with Google Workspace. All data processing activities comply with Google's Limited Use Requirements, meaning we do not use your data for advertising, profiling, or any purposes outside the scope of providing the requested services. The data is stored only as long as necessary to fulfil the requested service or as required by applicable legal or contractual obligations. Upon termination of the service or revocation of access, data will be securely deleted in accordance with our data retention policies.
As a data processor, we do not control or determine the content of the data you upload or sync. While we do not intentionally process sensitive data in accordance to Art. 9 GDPR, it is possible that such data may be uploaded by users. We strongly recommend avoiding the upload of sensitive data unless strictly necessary. In cases where sensitive data is inadvertently uploaded, we process it solely to provide the requested service and implement robust safeguards to ensure its confidentiality and security.
You retain full control over your data and may revoke Next Matter’s access to your Google account at any time through your Google account settings. Upon revocation, we will cease processing your data immediately.
The processing of data is carried out in full compliance with the requirements of Article 28 GDPR. This includes adherence to all obligations applicable to data processors, as outlined in our Data Protection Agreement (DPA). The technical and organisational measures implemented to ensure data security are specified in Annex 3 of the DPA.
Where necessary to provide the requested service, data may be shared with authorised sub-processors listed in Annex 4 of the DPA. All sub-processors are contractually bound to comply with stringent data protection requirements that meet the standards of Article 28 GDPR.
In cases where data is transferred to a third country, such transfers are carried out in accordance with Chapter V of the GDPR, using appropriate legal mechanisms, such as adequacy decisions or Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), to ensure an adequate level of data protection.
This privacy policy solely covers data processing we perform for our own purpose as a controller (and not on your behalf as a processor), e.g. contract management, billing and invoicing etc.
In the context of existing or potential customer relationships, we collect and process in particular the following data for our own purpose as a controller:
a) Processing for the purpose of performing the contract with you
The legal basis for the processing of personal data for pre-contractual and contractual purposes is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if you yourself are our contractual partner or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR if your employer is our contractual partner. This applies to the data processing in respect of a contract between you or your employer and us and includes, without limitation, the initiation of the contractual relationship, contract processing, implementation and support as well as performance of the pre- and post-contractual obligations.
b) Processing of your personal data on the basis of consent
Insofar as we obtain your consent for the processing of your personal data, your personal data will be processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR in conjunction with Art. 5, 7 GDPR. Art. 5, 7 GDPR.
c) Processing on the basis of legitimate interest
The legal basis for direct marketing purposes may be Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR if our legitimate interests exist, unless the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, which require the protection of personal data, prevail. The legal basis for processing activities in connection with the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims is also our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.
d) Processing for the fulfilment of a legal obligation
Insofar as the processing of your personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis. Our legal obligation to process data arises from retention obligations under commercial and tax law, in particular from the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch) and the German Fiscal Code (Abgabenordnung).
We also process your data for our or third parties’ legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). This may be necessary in particular:
We delete your personal data as soon as they are no longer required for the above-mentioned purposes.
We take appropriate measures to ensure that your personal data is only processed under the following conditions:
If required, we will be pleased to provide you with further information on the duration of data storage in relation to the specific purpose.
Please note that customer content (e.g. your workflow data) stored within the SaaS system will be deleted as agreed in the data processing agreement, usually upon termination or expiration of the contract.
Within our company, only those persons and departments receive your personal data that need them to fulfil their tasks with regard to the above-mentioned purposes. In the course of our activities, we sometimes also have to transfer data to external third parties and use external service providers. In particular, we may transfer your personal data to the following categories of recipients:
Insofar as we use services whose providers are partly located in third countries outside the European Economic Area or process personal data there and the EU Commission has not issued an adequacy decision for these countries pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR, we have taken appropriate precautions to ensure an adequate level of data protection. These include, among others, the standard contractual clauses of the European Union (SCC) or binding corporate rules (BCR). Where this is not possible, we base the data transfer on your express consent.
Where a third country transfer is envisaged and no adequacy decision or appropriate safeguards are in place, there is a risk that authorities in the respective third country (e.g. intelligence services) may gain access to the transferred data in order to collect and analyze it, and that enforceability of your data subject rights cannot be guaranteed.
Since 11 July 2023, there has been an adequacy decision for the USA in accordance with Art. 45 para. 3 GDPR for certified providers. We would like to point out that data transfer involves the above mentioned risks despite the existence of an adequacy decision.
According to the General Data Protection Regulation, in addition to the right to revoke your consent given to us, if applicable, you have the right to request access to (Art. 15 GDPR) and rectification (Art. 16 GDPR), erasure or restriction of processing (Art. 17 GDPR) of personal data or restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR), the right to object (Art. 21 GDPR) and the right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR).
You have the right to object against all types of processing described in this privacy information that are based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, based on grounds relating to your particular situation (Art. 21(1) GDPR). To the extent we process your personal data pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR for direct marketing purposes, you can object against such processing at any time without giving a particular reason.
You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR). The competent supervisory authority for us is: Berliner Beauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit, Alt-Moabit 59-61, 10555 Berlin, E-Mail: mailbox@datenschutz-berlin.de
