Privacy Policy we inform you about the type, scope and purposes of the collection and use of personal
data in a precise, transparent, comprehensible and easily accessible form in clear and simple language.
We attach great importance to the security of your data and compliance with applicable data protection
regulations. The collection, processing and use of personal data is subject to the provisions of Serbia`s
Data Protection Law on 9 November 2018 (published in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Serbia,

General Information
The personal data of users processed within the scope of this online offer includes inventory data (e.g.,
name and addresses of customers), contract data (e.g., services used, payment information), usage data
(e.g., interest in the products) and content data (e.g., entries in an order form, product advertisements).
"Users" includes all categories of persons affected by the data processing. This includes, for example,
our business partners, customers, interested parties and other visitors to our online offer.
Specific Information
We guarantee that we will only collect, process, store and use your data in connection with the
processing of your queries and for internal purposes as well as in order to provide the services you have
requested or to make content available.
Principles of data processing
We process users' personal data only in compliance with the relevant data protection regulations. The
data of the users are only processed if the following legal permissions exist:
in order to provide our contractual services and online services
processing is required by law
with your consent
Privacy Policy
on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e., interest in the analysis, optimisation and economic
operation and security of our online offer in particular in the case of advertising and marketing
purposes as well as collection of access data and use of third-party services).
Legal basis for the processing of personal data
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing operations involving personal data,
consent serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data.
When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data
subject is a party, the performance of a contract serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing
operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures. If processing of personal
data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, a legal
obligation serves as the legal basis.
If processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the
interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned
interest, legitimate interest serves as the legal basis for the processing.
Data transfer to third parties
Data is only passed on to third parties within the framework of legal requirements. We only pass on
users' data to third parties if this is necessary, for example, for contractual purposes or on the basis of
legitimate interests in the economic and effective operation of our business.
If we use subcontractors to provide our services, we take appropriate legal precautions as well as
corresponding technical and organisational measures to ensure the protection of personal data in
accordance with the relevant legal regulations.
Data transfer to a third country or an international organisation
Third countries are countries in which the GDPR is not directly applicable law. This basically includes
all countries outside the EU. This takes into account that appropriate/adequate safeguards are in place
and that enforceable rights and effective remedies are available to you. Such transfer takes place
exclusively based on your consent. You give your consent by selecting the appropriate option in the
consent management tool, which is displayed when you access our site. You can view and adjust your
data protection settings using the consent management tool at any time.
Storage period of your personal data
We adhere to the principles of data minimisation and data economy. This means that we only store the
data you provide to us for as long as is necessary to fulfil the aforementioned purposes or as specified
by the various storage periods provided for by law. If the respective purpose ceases to apply or after the
relevant periods have expired, your data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the
statutory provisions.
Data Breaches/Notification
Databases or data sets that include Personal Data may be breached inadvertently or through wrongful
intrusion. Upon becoming aware of a data breach, we will notify all affected individuals whose Personal
Data may have been compromised, and the notice will be accompanied by a description of action being
taken to reconcile any damage as a result of the data breach. Notices will be provided as expeditiously
as possible after which the breach was discovered.
Contact
If you contact us by e-mail, you agree to electronic communication. Personal data is collected when
you contact us. Your data will be transmitted SSL-encrypted. The information you provide will be
stored exclusively for the purpose of processing the query and for possible follow-up questions. We
Privacy Policy
would like to point out that e-mails can be read or changed unauthorised and unnoticed during
transmission. Furthermore, we would like to point out that we use software to filter unwanted e-mails
(spam filter). The spam filter can reject e-mails if they have been falsely identified as spam by certain
characteristics.
Data processing in the context of visiting the OTA Sync website
For the simple use of our website, only the processing of your IP address is absolutely necessary.
Without internet protocol addresses, or "IP addresses" for short, the internet would not function - to put
it very simply. In computer networks, an IP address is an address that can be used to address and reach
web servers and/or individual end devices. Without an IP address, the web server and the end devices
cannot communicate - and thus cannot display anything. The web server on which OTA Sync is hosted
is therefore pinged with a data request from you, because you want to use OTA Sync!.
In order to provide you with the data, the web server needs to know your IP address. Consequently, the
web server must save your IP address at this moment of the data request. For this purpose, the web
server receives information about which website or file was accessed, which browser and which
operating system was used. The whole process is called a log file. We store the IP addresses and the log
files for 60 days in order to quickly detect brute force attacks and other manipulations and to be able to
take countermeasures.
Further storage for purposes of technical support of our IT security is based on legitimate interest, as
we have a legitimate interest in protecting our services from attacks and manipulation. A predominantly
legitimate interest of the data subject is not recognisable, as only the IP address is stored, which we as
the responsible party cannot de-pseudonymise, i.e., we cannot establish a personal reference by means
of the IP address.
Device information
We collect information from and about the device(s) you use to access our services, including: hardware
and software information such as IP address, device ID and type, device-specific and apps settings and
characteristics, app crashes, advertising IDs (such as Google’s AAID and Apples IDFA, both of which
are randomly generated numbers that you can reset by going into your device’ settings), browser type,
version and language, operating system, time zones, identifiers associated with cookies or other
technologies that may uniquely identify your device or browser (e.g., IMEI/UDID and MAC address);
information on your wireless and mobile network connection, like your service provider and signal
strength; information on device sensors such as accelerometers, gyroscopes and compasses.
How We Use Technical Information
The main reason we use your information is to deliver and improve our services. Additionally, we use
this info to help keep you safe.
To provide our services to you,
To create and manage our App and provide new features,
To improve our services and develop new ones,
To conduct research and analysis of users’ behaviour to improve our services and content (for
instance, we may decide to change the look and feel or even substantially modify a given feature
based on users’ behaviour),
To prevent, detect and fight fraud or other illegal or unauthorized activities,
To Perform data analysis to better understand and design countermeasures against these
activities
To ensure legal compliance
To Assist law enforcement
To Enforce or exercise our rights.
Privacy Policy
Contractual and Association work
We process the data of our clients, supporters, interested parties, business partners or other persons if
we have a contractual or other business relationship with them and, as a result, perform our tasks and
are recipients of services and benefits. This may include e-mail, phone number, guest data provided
from third party systems or directly from client, revenue information, costs, and other information
needed for our clients to use our enterprise solution. As well as sign up data such as name of the
business, e-mail and password, payment information, details for room and price management, price
modelling, photos, descriptions, etc.
We also process your data on the basis of our legitimate interests, e.g., when administrative tasks or
public relations work are involved.
The data processed in this way, the type, scope and purpose and the necessity of its processing, are
determined by the business or contractual relationship concluded with you, which also determines the
necessity of any data disclosures (we will of course explicitly point this out to you).
We delete data that is no longer required to fulfil our statutory and business purposes. This is determined
according to the respective tasks and contractual relationships. The retention period of your data is
determined according to how it may be relevant for business processing, as well as with regard to any
warranty or liability obligations based on our legitimate interests in regulating them. We continuously
review the necessity of retaining the data. The statutory retention obligations always apply.
Updating your information
If you believe that the information, we hold about you is inaccurate or that we are no longer entitled to
use it and want to request its rectification, deletion, or object to its processing, please do so within your
user account or contact us. For your protection and the protection of all of our users, we may ask you
to provide proof of identity before we can answer the above requests.
Keep in mind, we may reject requests for certain reasons, including if the request is unlawful or if it
may infringe on trade secrets or intellectual property or the privacy of another user. Also, we may not
be able to accommodate certain requests to object to the processing of personal information, notably
where such requests would not allow us to provide our service to you anymore.
Administration, financial accounting, office organization, contact management
We process information in the context of administrative tasks as well as organization of our operations,
financial accounting and compliance with legal obligations, such as archiving. In this regard, we process
the same information that we process in the course of providing our contractual services. The deletion
of information with regard to contractual services and contractual communication corresponds to the
information mentioned in these processing activities.
In this context, we disclose or transfer information to the tax authorities, consultants, such as tax
advisors or auditors, as well as other fee offices and payment service providers.
Furthermore, based on our business interests, we store information on suppliers, event organizers and
other business partners, e.g., for the purpose of contacting them at a later date. This information, most
of which is company-related, is generally stored permanently.
Data processing within the framework of payment processing
Payment by credit card and SEPA direct debit is made via the payment service provider "Stripe", to
which we pass on your mandatory details (e-mail address) provided during the registration process,
together with information about your booked services. Your data will only be passed on for the purpose
of payment processing with the payment service provider Stripe and only insofar as it is necessary for
this purpose.
Privacy Policy
Prevention and detection of fraud and abuse
In order to protect our online offer from fraud and abuse, we have implemented security measures which
check whether there are indications of abuse of our online offer or of an attempted fraud. These
measures also serve to protect you. The data processed within the framework of the security measures
may include all security risk-relevant user information that accrues within the framework of the use of
our online offer. For example, but not exhaustively, this includes inventory data (e.g., names, addresses),
contact data, usage data (e.g., websites visited, access times), meta/communication data (e.g., device
information, IP addresses), contract data (e.g., subject matter of contract, term), content data (e.g.
advertisements and chat content: text entries and images), payment data (e.g. bank details, invoices).
Processing of personal data when using the offered services
Personal data will be collected, processed, or used ("used") in connection with the services offered. This
is always done in compliance with the provisions of the BDSG and the GDPR. Insofar as we use your
personal data for a purpose that requires your consent according to the legal provisions, we will always
ask for your express consent.
Administration, financial accounting, office organisation, contact management
We process data in the context of administrative tasks as well as organisation of our operations, financial
accounting and compliance with legal obligations, such as archiving. In this regard, we process the same
data that we process in the course of providing our contractual services. The processing bases are our
legal obligations and contract. Customers, interested parties, business partners and website visitors are
affected by the processing. The purpose and our interest in the processing lies in the administration,
financial accounting, office organisation, archiving of data, i.e., tasks that serve the maintenance of our
business activities, performance of our tasks and provision of our services. The deletion of data with
regard to contractual services and contractual communication corresponds to the data mentioned in
these processing activities.
In this context, we disclose or transfer data to the tax authorities, consultants, such as tax advisors or
auditors, as well as other fee offices and payment service providers.
Furthermore, based on our business interests, we store information on suppliers, event organisers and
other business partners, e.g., for the purpose of contacting them at a later date. This data, most of which
is company-related, is generally stored permanently.
General technical organisational measures
OTA Sync has taken a variety of security measures to protect personal information to an appropriate
extent and adequately. All information held by OTA Sync is protected by physical, technical, and
procedural measures that limit access to the information to specifically authorised persons in accordance
with this Privacy Policy.
Secure transfer of your data
In order to best protect the data, we store against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction
or access by unauthorised persons, we use appropriate technical and organisational security measures.
The security levels are continuously reviewed in cooperation with security experts and adapted to new
security standards.
The exchange of data to and from our website is always encrypted. We offer HTTPS as the transmission
protocol for our website, in each case using the current encryption protocols.
In addition, we offer our users content encryption as part of the contact forms and for applications. The
decryption of this data is only possible for us. In addition, there is the option of using alternative
communication channels (e.g., the postal service).
When you send a data subject access request
Privacy Policy
The legal basis for the processing of your personal data in the context of handling your data subject
access request is our legal obligation and the legal basis for the subsequent documentation of the data
subject access request is both our legitimate interest and our legal obligation. The purpose of processing
your personal data in the context of processing data when you send a data subject access request is to
respond to your request. The subsequent documentation of the data subject access request serves to
fulfil the legally required accountability.
Your personal data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for
which they were collected. In the case of the processing of a data subject access request, this is three
years after the end of the respective process. You have the possibility at any time to object to the
processing of your personal data in the context of the processing of a data subject access request for the
future. In this case, however, we will not be able to further process your request. The documentation of
the legally compliant processing of the respective data subject access request is mandatory.
Consequently, there is no possibility for you to object.
Legal defence and enforcement of our rights
The legal basis for the processing of your personal data in the context of legal defence and enforcement
of our rights is our legitimate interest. The purpose of processing your personal data in the context of
legal defence and enforcement of our rights is the defence against unjustified claims and the legal
enforcement and assertion of claims and rights.
Your personal data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for
which they were collected. The processing of your personal data in the context of legal defence and
enforcement is mandatory for legal defence and enforcement of our rights. Consequently, there is no
possibility for you to object.
SSL or TLS Encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or queries
that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an
encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://"
and by the lock symbol in your browser. If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to
us cannot be read by third parties.
Accountability
In certain countries, including in the European Union, you have a right to lodge a complaint with the
appropriate data protection authority if you have concerns about how we process information. The data
protection authority you can lodge a complaint with notably may be that of your habitual residence,
where you work or where we are established.
Automated decision-making and profiling
We do not use automation for decision-making and profiling.
Do Not Track
Do Not Track is a privacy preference you can set in most browsers. We support Do Not Track because
we believe that you should have genuine control over how your info gets used and our site responds to
Do Not Track requests.
Do Not Sell My Personal Information
We do not sell information that directly identifies you, like your name, address or phone records.
Accuracy
It is important that the data we hold about you is accurate and current, therefore please keep us informed

Integration Of Services and Contents of Third Parties
We use within our online offer on the basis of our legitimate interests, content or services offered by
third-party providers in order to integrate their content and services.
This always requires that the third-party providers of this content are aware of your IP address, since
the content or service could not send to your browser without the IP address. The IP address is thus
required for the display of this content, and we endeavour to use providers that only use your IP address
for the delivery of the content or services. However, Third-party providers may also use so-called pixel
tags (invisible graphics, also known as "web beacons") for statistical or marketing purposes. The "pixel
tags" can be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic. The pseudonymous information may
also be stored in cookies on the user's device and may contain, among other things, technical
information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, time of visit and other
information about the use of our online offer, as well as be linked to such information from other
sources.
Hosting
The services for hosting and displaying the website and app are partly provided by our service providers
as part of processing on our behalf. Unless otherwise explained in this privacy policy, all access data
and all data collected in forms provided for this purpose on this website are processed on their servers.
If you have any questions about our service providers and the basis of our relationship with them, please
contact them as described in this privacy policy.
OVH cloud servers
We use OVH cloud servers for hosting. For hosting in the OVH cloud servers, the EU region is used.
However, OVH cloud operates according to the principle of a multi-tenant environment, so that data is
replicated between several geographically distributed data centres (data centre resilience).
Firebase
The App uses the Firebase tool, which is part of the Firebase platform of Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre
Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, to obtain statistics on how the App is used, in particular
active user numbers, session length, stability rating and storage time. Answers logs the use of the app,
and we evaluate user behaviour and user activity in general, i.e., not on a personal basis.
For this purpose, the following data is transferred to the Analytics Engine: name and AppStore ID, build
version, individual device installation key (e.g. IDFA [iOS], Advertising ID, and Android ID),
timestamp, device model, device name, device operating system name and version numbers, the
language and country settings of the device (iOS), the number of CPU cores on the device (iOS),
whether a device has the status "jailbreak" (iOS) or "root " (Android), app lifecycle events (iOS) and
app activities (Android);
The legal basis for this data processing is our legitimate interest. The data collected via Google will be
deleted after 6 months at the latest. You can select in the settings under data services whether or not you
want to send data to Google. This setting also applies to the use of Crashlytics.
Crashlytics
The app uses the tool Crashlytics, which is part of the platform Firebase of Google Inc., 1600
Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, to log crashes of the app. No personal data is
transmitted. Only real-time crash reports with precise details of code locations and device information
are sent, which is intended to simplify maintenance and improve the resulting stability of the app.
Privacy Policy
The legal basis for data processing is our legitimate interest. In the settings under data services, you can
select whether you want to send crash reports or not. This setting also applies to the use of Google.
Content Delivery Network
For the purpose of a shorter loading time, we use a so-called Content Delivery Network ("CDN") for
some offers. With this service, content, e.g., large media files, are delivered via regionally distributed
servers of external CDN service providers. Therefore, access data is processed on the servers of the
service providers. Our service providers work for us within the framework of order processing. If you
have any questions about our service providers and the basis of our cooperation with them, please use
the contact option described in this privacy policy.
Cookies
During the use of our website, so-called "cookies", small text files, are stored on your computer. Such
cookies register information about your computer's navigation on our website (pages selected, day, time
and duration of use, etc.). A cookie is downloaded via a browser the first time you visit a website. The
next time you visit this website with the same device, the browser checks whether a corresponding
cookie is present (i.e., contains the website name). It sends the data stored in the cookie back to the
website. Some cookies are important for the website's functionality and are automatically activated by
us when a user visits. Our website also uses cookies to make it easier to use and to provide you with
content tailored to your information needs.
You cannot be personally identified from any of the information we collect. The use of the cookies we
use is necessary in order to be able to provide the online offer of OTA Sync at all and, moreover, to be
able to optimise it on an ongoing basis. The data processing in this context is therefore based on our
legitimate. Our legitimate interest is to provide visitors to our website with a functioning online service
and to make visiting and using the website as pleasant and efficient as possible.
For further information on cookies in general, please visit www.allaboutcookies.org and for specific
info on the cookies we use please read our Cookie Policy.
Receiving messages (push notification)
For individual areas, the app offers the option of being informed via push notification (push technology
or Server Push describes a type of communication in which data is transmitted even though the receiving
app is running in the background).
You can configure this function via the settings of your smartphone settings and activate/deactivate the
notifications there. For the delivery of the messages, it is necessary to store a push token of your mobile
end device.
Authorisations and Access
We may request access or permission to certain functions from your mobile device. The legal basis for
data processing is our legitimate interest and the provision of contractual or pre-contractual measures.
You can deactivate push notifications at any time via Settings/Messages (iOS) or Settings/Notifications/
(Android).
Electronic notifications
We send notifications, e-mails and other electronic notifications only with the consent of the recipients
or with a legal permission. If the contents of a notification are specifically described in the course of
registration, they are decisive for the consent of the users. In addition, our notifications contain
information about our services and us.
Privacy Policy
In order to subscribe to our notifications, it is generally sufficient to provide your e-mail address.
However, we may ask you to provide a name, for the purpose of personal address in the notification, or
further details, if these are necessary for the purposes of the notification.
The registration for our notification is always carried out in a so-called double opt-in procedure. This
means that after registration you will receive an e-mail in which you are asked to confirm your
registration. This confirmation is necessary so that no one can register with other people's e-mail
addresses. The registrations for the notification are logged in order to be able to prove the registration
process in accordance with the legal requirements. This includes the storage of the registration and
confirmation time as well as the IP address. Changes to your data stored with the dispatch service
provider are also logged.
We may store unsubscribed email addresses for up to three years based on our legitimate interests before
deleting them in order to be able to prove consent previously given. The processing of this data will be
limited to the purpose of a possible defence against claims. An individual deletion request is possible
at any time, provided that the former existence of consent is confirmed at the same time. In the case of
obligations to permanently observe objections, we reserve the right to store the e-mail address in a block
list (so-called "block list") for this purpose alone.
The logging of the registration process takes place on the basis of our legitimate interests for the purpose
of proving its proper course. If we commission a service provider to send e-mails, this is done on the
basis of our legitimate interests in an efficient and secure sending system.
Notes on legal basis: The notification is sent on the basis of the recipients' consent. The registration
process is recorded on the basis of our legitimate interests to prove that it has been carried out in
accordance with the law.
The notifications contain a so-called "tracking pixel", i.e., a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from our
server or, if we use a dispatch service provider, from their server when the notification is opened. Within
the scope of this retrieval, technical information such as information on the browser and your system,
as well as your IP address and the time of the retrieval, are initially collected.
This information is used for the technical improvement of our notification on the basis of the technical
data or the target groups and their reading behaviour on the basis of their retrieval locations (which can
be determined with the help of the IP address) or the access times. This analysis also includes
determining whether the notifications are opened, when they are opened, and which links are clicked.
This information is assigned to the individual notification recipients and stored in their profiles until
they are deleted. The analyses help us to recognise the reading habits of our users and to adapt our
content to them or to send different content according to the interests of our users.
The measurement of opening rates and click rates as well as the storage of the measurement results in
the users' profiles and their further processing are based on the users' consent.
When you use our Social Media Pages
We also process information that you have provided to us via our company pages on the relevant social
media website. Such information may be the username used, contact details or a message sent to us.
We regularly process this personal data only if we have previously expressly requested you to provide
us with this data, for example as part of a survey. These processing operations are carried out by us as
the sole data controller.
We process this data on the basis of our legitimate interest in contacting people who make enquiries. In
addition, we may process such data for evaluation and marketing purposes. This processing is carried
out on the legal basis of our legitimate interest and serves our interest in further developing our offer
and informing you specifically about our offers. Further data processing may take place if you have
Privacy Policy
consented or if this serves the fulfilment of a legal obligation. The sole controller of this processing of
personal data is the relevant social media website.
When you send a data subject access request
The legal basis for the processing of your personal data in the context of handling your data subject
access request is our legal obligation and the legal basis for the subsequent documentation of the data
subject access request is both our legitimate interest and our legal obligation.
The purpose of processing your personal data in the context of processing data when you send a data
subject access request is to respond to your request. The subsequent documentation of the data subject
access request serves to fulfil the legally required accountability.
Your personal data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for
which they were collected. In the case of the processing of a data subject access request, this is three
years after the end of the respective process.
You have the possibility at any time to object to the processing of your personal data in the context of
the processing of a data subject access request for the future. In this case, however, we will not be able
to further process your request. The documentation of the legally compliant processing of the respective
data subject access request is mandatory. Consequently, there is no possibility for you to object.
Transfer of data
Unless otherwise stated above, we do not disclose personal data to companies, organisations, or persons
outside our company, except in one of the following circumstances:
a) data sharing with affiliated companies in the context of joint data maintenance.
OTA Sync stores and processes your data collected from you in the course of using our website services
and visiting our website in an IT system that can only be accessed by OTA Sync Employees based on
a strict need to know basis.
b) With your consent
As far as already described in detail above, but in individual cases also beyond that, we pass on personal
data to companies, organisations, or persons outside our company if we have received your consent for
this.
c) processing by other bodies
We make personal data available to other companies that are affiliated with us, as well as to our third-
party business partners, other trusted companies or persons who process it on our behalf. This is done
on the basis of our instructions and in accordance with our privacy policy and other appropriate
confidentiality and security measures.
d) for legal reasons
We will disclose personal data to companies, organisations or persons outside our company if we can
reasonably assume that access to this data or its use, storage or disclosure is necessary, in particular, to
comply with applicable laws, regulations or legal procedures or to comply with an enforceable official
order.
Your Rights

can exercise them.
Right to information: You can request information from us as to whether and to what extent
we process your data.
Privacy Policy
Right to rectification: If we process your data that is incomplete or incorrect, you can request
that we correct or complete it at any time.
Right to erasure: You may request that we erase your data if we are processing it unlawfully
or if the processing disproportionately interferes with your legitimate interests in protection.
Please note that there may be reasons that prevent immediate deletion, e.g., in the case of legally
