3.    Scope and nature of data processing

Please find below a list of situations where we may process your personal data, and further information about other data that we may collect when offering you our website and other services:

3.1  Basemark.com and gpuscore.com websites, newsletter and web forms
Basemark doesn’t collect any personal data through our corporate website, unless you submit a web form, for example by subscribing to our newsletter or downloading a presentation. By sending your personal information through the contact form you give your consent to process it. This information is stored both on the server where the website is hosted (WP Engine) and on the Hubspot CRM tool, hosted by Hubspot. Hubspot’s data is hosted in the US. You can unsubscribe to the newsletter anytime by clicking the unsubscribe link in the newsletter itself.

3.2 Third-Party Data
We may obtain information about you from third-party sources, such as public sources, social media platforms (like Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter and other platforms) and third-party data providers and information services. Some of these providers may combine data collected from our Service through cookies, pixels, tags and similar technologies, with email or mailing addresses to which they have access to help us serve relevant offers to you. Examples of the information we may obtain from such third parties include your company, company size, job title and seniority, industry and other profile information.

3.3 Powerboard benchmarking sites and mobile apps
Basemark doesn’t collect any personal data through the Powerboard.basemark.com, powerboard4.basemark.com websites or through the usage of the graphics benchmarks, such as GPUScore, Basemark Metal Free, Basemark GPU, Basemark OS II or Basemark OS II Free.

3.4 Basemark Rocksolid AR and videos
As part of our automotive product development and testing, we may shoot videos on public roads. These videos may include number plates of vehicles in the traffic or people’s faces. That isn’t intentional and cannot be avoided. We don’t read the number plates or transfer the information into numbers, but the material stays in video format. We don’t process or share that personal data with any external parties.

Before publishing any video that includes car plates or people’s faces, we’ll blur them first.

3.5 Cookie notice
The default setting of both Basemark.com, gpuscore.com, powerboard.com, and powerboard4.basemark.com websites is “Cookie disabled”, which means that we don’t place any third party or marketing cookies in your web browser. By clicking “Enable”, you allow us to place some basic statistical and profiling cookies in the user’s browser, such as Google Analytics.  If you choose “Keep disabled”, we store only the minimum technical information that is needed to deliver the website and the ranking service for you.

3.6  Partner and visitor data
If you are a business partner of Basemark or visit our office, we save and process following data to be able to perform our contractual duties (GDPR Art.6 a and c). This information contains usually name, e-mail, company name, company address, and telephone number. Invoicing information we collect only if the business relationship requires it.

3.7 Recruiting and employment data
If you send us an application per email or other channels, and a dialogue about possible employment starts, we store the messages and attachments for the purpose of employment negotiations. Those messages usually include name, contact details and information about education and work experience.

To fulfill our contractual duties as an employer (GDPR Art.6 a and c), we store and handle carefully all needed employment data, such as social security number, bank account number, phone number, email address and home address.

3.8 Whistleblower channel
To fulfil the EU legal requirements about whistleblowing, Basemark is using an external service that can be reached here. We collect and process personal data only to the extent that it is necessary for meeting the obligations of the whistleblowing process and the related legislation.

As a rule, the personal data processed is collected from the person submitting the report. The Privacy Policy for our Whistleblowing Channel is available here.

4. Consent

If you have given your consent to us for processing your personal data, please note that you may withdraw this consent at any time. Also other rights arising from the GDPR are fully followed by Basemark, especially the requirement to report a potential breach within 72 hours.
