  1. Purpose of processing

The personal data we collect via the Customer Portal is processed for the following purposes:

  • User identification and provision of access to the user's contractual data on the Customer Portal;
  • Account management - creation, modification and deactivation of user accounts; fulfilment of business requests and identification of who requested what within a business process;
  • Security and troubleshooting - through audit logs and error logs;
  • Traceability - to be able to prove that the user has submitted the relevant form;
  • Fulfilment of the contract with the corporate client and maintenance of the services provided via the Customer Portal.
  1. Legal basis for processing

All processing of personal data must have a legal basis in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR").

The processing of your personal data on the Customer Portal is carried out on the following legal grounds:

  • Performance of a contract (Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR) - insofar as the Customer Portal is intended for employees of corporate customers with whom OMV has concluded a contract, the processing of user account data is necessary for the performance of the contractual relationship with the customer and the provision of services via the Customer Portal (e.g. access to contract data, invoices, capacity booking, etc.).
  • Compliance with a legal obligation (Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR) - the processing of certain personal data is also necessary for the fulfilment of OMV's obligations arising from applicable legislation (e.g. the Accounting Act, the Value Added Tax Act), from sector-specific regulation in the energy sector, as well as from the reporting obligations under the GDPR.
  • Legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR) - the processing of data from audit logs, error logs and file logs is necessary to safeguard OMV's legitimate interests, namely: ensuring system security and resolving technical issues and errors.
  1. Disclosure of data

The following categories of recipients have access to the data processed via the Customer Portal:

  • Sopra Steria GmbH and companies within the Sopra Steria group - developer of the Customer Portal. Sopra Steria GmbH acts as a data processor on behalf of and in accordance with the instructions of OMV Bulgaria.
  • Infrastructure and hosting service providers - the Customer Portal is hosted in data centres located in Germany. These providers act as data processors and do not have independent access to the content of the data.
  • OMV Petrom SA - in the course of providing services via the Customer Portal, it is possible that certain personal data may also be technically accessible to OMV Petrom SA, Romania, to the extent that this is necessary for the technical maintenance and operation of the Customer Portal.
  • Where disclosure is required by law, data may be disclosed to law enforcement, judicial and other authorised bodies acting in their capacity as data controllers.
