You must provide your data in order to receive a response to your request; otherwise, we will be unable to fulfil it.

As part of the support service, you may be asked to activate your video camera in order to facilitate technical support personnel in assisting you. In this case, you will be asked expressly to enable the use of the video camera on your mobile device and you will be free to agree or refuse. Where you consent to enabling it, the Company might potentially process your image as captured during the video call.

In any event, the Company confirms that the sole purpose of enabling your video camera is to facilitate the technician in providing you with appropriate support. Accordingly, we ask that, where possible, you point the camera solely at the product for which you are requesting assistance, it being understood that the Company will nonetheless process any images of you for the sole purpose indicated above, without recording or storing it in any way.

Basis of processing: execution of a contract or precontractual measures. Where you voluntarily enable your video camera for support purposes, providing any images of you will be mandatory for the purposes of providing support service.

Your personal data may be processed by Nice to defend its rights, take legal action or make claims against you or third parties.

Basis of processing: a legitimate interest of Nice in defending its rights.

Nice may process your personal data to fulfil its obligations.

Basis of processing: fulfilment of a legal obligation.

Providing your data for this purpose is mandatory since without it Nice will be unable to fulfil its legal obligations.

With regard to contact methods involving the use of your telephone contact details, we remind you that any direct marketing activities that the Company may undertake will be carried out in accordance with telemarketing legislation and the provisions governing the Public No-Call Register pursuant to Art. 130, paragraph 3-bis of the Privacy Code.
