Notwithstanding any information that may appear in the price list, the price that the Client must pay is that which appears in the Economic Proposal.

The prices of the services contracted by the Client are found in the Economic Proposal, as well as the details of the services and technologies contracted by the Client.

In the event that the Client contracts the services through a VÍNTEGRIS partner, VÍNTEGRIS will invoice the partner for the corresponding amount indicated in the Economic Proposal approved by both parties prior to the start of the nebulaSUITE services.

The Partner will pay the corresponding amount according to the payment terms established in the Economic Proposal.

In these cases, VÍNTEGRIS will not be responsible for the commitments that the Partner has acquired directly with the Client, it will only respond according to the services agreed and contracted by the Partner for the Client.

VÍNTEGRIS reserves the right to increase the prices of its product subscriptions, which may be due, among other things , to increased costs to compensate for newly added features, costs of new procedures and certifications imposed by regulations, or the expansion of new services included in the subscriptions. If VÍNTEGRIS anticipates such an increase, it will notify the customer 60 days in advance of the renewal date of the affected subscriptions, and the customer may then decide whether to renew or terminate their subscriptions.

The payment method and billing milestones are outlined in the Economic Proposal.

All payments will be made in euros (€), unless otherwise stated in the Economic Proposal.

VÍNTEGRIS will invoice the Client as follows:

  1. Standard Billing
    1. 100% of the Technology and Services will be billed (up to 5 days), after the provision to the Client (activation of the environment / sending of Welcome Info).

  2. Special Billing. The milestones and billing amounts are as follows:
    1. 100% of the Technology, after making it available to the Client (activation of the environment / sending Welcome Info).
    2. 50% of the Services are due at the start of the project. The remaining 50% is due upon completion and after client approval.

If the Client contracts the services through a VÍNTEGRIS Partner, the billing and payment policies indicated above will apply directly to the Partner.

If the Client fails to make full or partial payment of the amounts owed within one month of the agreed invoice due date, VÍNTEGRIS may, after giving the Client prior notice, temporarily suspend the service. The service restriction will affect the services for which payment is overdue and may also affect other dependent services. Temporary suspension does not exempt the Client from the obligation to continue making the corresponding fixed periodic payments.

VÍNTEGRIS may also suspend or cancel the provision of the Service in the event that:

  1. the Client fails to comply with any of the obligations incumbent upon him or her under these General Conditions or the applicable Special Conditions;
  2. has provided false or incorrect information in the application for registration with the Service;
  3. VÍNTEGRIS considers and/or has reasonable indications that illicit, illegal, or antisocial activities, or activities contrary to public order and/or good morals, or contrary to the provisions of the General Conditions themselves, could be carried out through the Service.

A delay in payment for a period exceeding 2 months or the temporary suspension of the contract on two occasions due to late payment of any of the contracted services, will entitle VÍNTEGRIS to the definitive interruption of all contracted services and the corresponding termination of the contract, after notifying the Client 10 business days in advance, indicating the date on which it will take place.

The policies regarding the suspension and cancellation of services due to non-payment will also apply to cases where the contract was made through VÍNTEGRIS partners, and the billing and payment were delegated to them, and they failed to make the payment.

The Partner may request that VÍNTEGRIS deactivate each active Subscription separately, and depending on the Solution, the Client will have limited or no access to it. VÍNTEGRIS will not be liable to the Client in any way for the Partner’s deactivation of the Client’s Subscription.

Early termination without just cause. The Customer may choose to cancel their subscription early, at any time, but will not receive any refund of previously paid fees and must immediately pay all outstanding fees due until the end of the Subscription Term.

Early termination for justified cause. Either party may terminate the provision of the Services for just cause as follows: (i) by giving the other party thirty (30) days’ prior notice that a material breach has occurred, provided that such breach has not been remedied by the end of that period.

This data may be communicated to competent bodies and auditors in compliance with applicable regulations.

The data retention period is fifteen years from the expiration date of the issued certificate and five years when the validation process has failed and it is considered that there may be an attempt at fraud, counting from the date of its execution, in accordance with the provisions of current regulations.

Seventeenth: Data Retention and Deletion

At all times during the term of their subscription, the Customer will have the ability to access the Customer Data stored in the nebulaSUITE Service, as well as the ability to extract and delete it.

The Client will have access to the application’s audit logs for a period of 12 months. VÍNTEGRIS will continue to safeguard these logs for longer periods in cases where applicable legislation so requires, but they will no longer be accessible to the Client through the platform.

VÍNTEGRIS will retain Customer Data still stored on the nebulaSUITE Services in a limited-functionality account for sixty (60) days following the expiration or termination of the Customer’s subscription, allowing the Customer to retrieve the data. After the sixty (60) day retention period, VÍNTEGRIS will deactivate the Customer’s account and delete the Customer Data and Personal Data within an additional ninety (90) days, unless applicable law requires VÍNTEGRIS to retain such data.

In cases where for any reason the Client does not have any access to their account, VÍNTEGRIS will provide alternative mechanisms so that the Client’s Data can be extracted.

VÍNTEGRIS will not incur any liability for deleting Customer Data or Personal Data, as described in this section.

Eighteenth: Security measures

VINTEGRIS guarantees in the provision of its services compliance with the security measures established in the regulations eIDAS, NIS 2, ENS (High) and in the standards ISO 27001, ISO 27017, ISO 27018 and ISO 27701 as accredited by our certifications in these regulations and security standards.

While VINTEGRIS is responsible for implementing security measures, certain security measures depend on the Client’s management of them. To guarantee information security, the Client agrees to:

  • User Management: VINTEGRIS will provide a user manager account to the person designated by the Client. The Client’s user manager will handle the creation, deletion, and modification of users within their tenant, with the Client being solely responsible for this management. The Client agrees to properly manage user access, specifically by deactivating (disabling) users who, due to a change in their role, no longer require access to the tenant or who leave the organization.
  • Access rights: The Client, through their manager user, will grant access permissions to their users, by assigning the different roles existing in Nebula, that are necessary for the exercise of their functions.

The Client undertakes to conduct a periodic review of the users with access to the tenant and their access rights.

  • User responsibility: The Client will guarantee the correct use of The users created. The users will be named and their sharing will not be allowed, so that the traceability of the actions performed by each user is guaranteed.

The user will be responsible for the actions carried out with their identifier, and therefore should not allow the use of their user by third parties.

  • Passwords and two-factor authentication: The Client will configure secure passwords and activate the use of two-factor authentication.

Users are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their passwords. If they believe their password has been compromised, they must change it as soon as possible and report any unauthorized use of their account.

VINTEGRIS will not be liable for any security incident affecting the information contained in the Client’s tenant when the cause of this incident originates from a breach of the obligations established in this clause

Nineteenth: Modifications

VÍNTEGRIS reserves the right to modify the terms and conditions of these General Terms and Conditions and/or any included Annexes related to the Service at any time. These modifications will apply to the next renewal of each Client’s subscription. If the Client does not accept these new General Terms and Conditions, they must notify VÍNTEGRIS that they will not be renewing their subscription.

In the event that these General Terms and Conditions are amended for regulatory and/or legal reasons, and these changes affect the use of nebulaSUITE services or the Client’s legal rights under our Services, VÍNTEGRIS will notify the Client before the effective date via email to the address associated with their account. These updated Terms and Conditions will take effect no sooner than 30 days after the date we send the notification.

If the Client does not accept the changes implemented by VÍNTEGRIS, VÍNTEGRIS will enter into a negotiation process with the Client to try to resolve the dispute. Should the Client ultimately reject these changes, their account will be canceled. Where applicable, VÍNTEGRIS will offer the Client a prorated refund based on the amounts already paid for the Services and the date of account cancellation.

Twentieth: Integrity

The clauses of these General Conditions are independent of each other, which is why, if any clause is considered invalid or unenforceable, the remaining clauses will continue to apply, unless expressly agreed otherwise by the parties.

Twenty-first: Documentation

It is expressly stated that a copy in electronic format (by making it available on the website) of all the documentation referred to in these General Conditions has been delivered, as well as a copy of the same together with the Economic Proposal.

Twenty-second: Notifications

All notices between the parties shall be in writing and delivered personally or by any other means that certifies receipt by the notified party. For the purpose of notifications, VÍNTEGRIS establishes the following email address: administracion@vintegris.com

Any change of address by one of the parties must be notified to the other immediately and by a means that guarantees receipt of the message.

Twenty-third: Applicable law and jurisdiction

In all matters not covered by these general terms and conditions, the agreement shall be governed by Spanish civil and commercial law. The competent jurisdiction is that indicated in Law 1/2000, of January 7, on Civil Procedure. In the event of any disagreement between the parties regarding the interpretation or performance of these General Terms and Conditions, the parties shall attempt to resolve the matter amicably beforehand, in accordance with the procedure established by VÍNTEGRIS for this purpose.

If the parties cannot reach an agreement in this regard, either of them may submit the dispute to civil jurisdiction, subject to the Courts of the registered office of VÍNTEGRIS, except when the applicable legislation establishes different mandatory rules.

Twenty-fourth: Cessation of operations

In the event that VÍNTEGRIS decides to cease its operations, all reasonable efforts will be made to notify the Client as far in advance as possible and to provide mechanisms for the recovery of their personal data and audit records.

Twenty-fifth: Force majeure

VÍNTEGRIS will not be in default or in delay of its obligations to the extent that its performance is delayed or impeded by causes beyond its control, including, without limitation, acts beyond its will, such as: acts of the Client; governmental restrictions (including the denial or cancellation of any export, import or other license); acts of third parties not under the control of VÍNTEGRIS; acts of any governmental body; pandemics; war, hostility, insurrection, sabotage or armed conflict; embargo, fire, flood, strike or any other labor disturbance; interruption or delay in transportation; unavailability or interruption or delay of telecommunications or third-party services; virus or hacker attacks; errors in third-party software (including, without limitation, e-commerce software, payment systems, chat, statistics or free scripts); as well as the inability to obtain raw materials, supplies or energy or the equipment necessary for the provision of the Services.

VÍNTEGRIS will use reasonable efforts to mitigate the effects of a force majeure event.

If such an event persists for more than 30 days, either party may cancel the pending Services by written notice.

This clause does not relieve the parties of the obligation to take reasonable steps to follow their normal disaster recovery procedures or their obligation to pay for the Services.

Twenty-sixth: Entirety of the General Conditions
ANNEX I

Specific Terms of Service nebulaSUITE

1. NebulaUSERS Terms

1.1. Collection of personal data. Creating new user accounts involves collecting the following personal information: first name, last name, user ID, email address, and telephone number (optional). This information is processed in accordance with clause sixteen of the nebulaSUITE General Terms and Conditions.

1.2. Integration with corporate user repositories. Personal information imported into nebulaUSERS from corporate repositories is used and stored in the same way as information collected directly. Under no circumstances is information retrieved from the client’s corporate systems that could compromise user security, such as passwords.

1.3. Distribution of proprietary software. All client software and/or documentation published on the nebulaUSERS portal follows the licensing and usage model detailed in clause eight of the nebulaSUITE General Terms and Conditions.

2. NebulaACCESS Terms

N/A

3. NebulaID Terms

3.1. Issuance of qualified certificates. To configure and activate the functionality for issuing qualified certificates from the VÍNTEGRIS certification authority in any of its modalities, a specific contract between VÍNTEGRIS and the client is required.

3.2. Service Options. nebulaID is a product that allows the creation of verified digital identities through identity validation processes that have the same legal standing as legal personhood. Depending on the nature of these validation processes, the product can be used in the following ways.

  • In person. The registration operator verifies the identity of the certificate holder in person.
  • Unattended remote video identification. The certificate holder is identified using biometric recognition technology. The registration operator unattendedly reviews the process evidence and validates that the process requirements are met before verifying the applicant’s identity.

The unattended remote video identification modality is offered following the requirements established by current legislation on digital identification, as established by Order ETD/465/2021, of May 6, which regulates the methods of remote identification by video for the issuance of qualified electronic certificates.

This modality internally makes use of both VÍNTEGRIS’ own technology and that of other technology providers.

3.3. Definition of identification process states and consumption metrics. The following details the different states of the identification processes in the unattended remote video identification mode.

  • Process initiated. Request to initiate an identification process specifying the requesting user and the set of personal data to be verified.
  • Video identification. An autonomous process through which the requesting user provides evidence that allows for the reliable validation of their personal data and identity.
  • Process in progress. Review by a registration operator of the set of evidence resulting from the Video Identification process.
  • Process pending. Request from the registration operator for additional information from the requesting user necessary to successfully validate the process.
  • Process approved. Approval by the registration operator of all the evidence provided that allows verification of the identity of the requesting user and, in those cases where required, approval of the issuance of a qualified electronic certificate.
  • Process rejected. Termination of the process due to the inability to meet the minimum requirements to verify the applicant’s identity because: a) the set of evidence does not guarantee the user’s identity, ii) the user has not provided the required additional information correctly and/or in a timely manner.
  • System error. Irregular behavior of the nebulaID product that prevents the normal execution of any step of the identification process and results in its unexpected termination.

The following describes the different consumption metrics associated with the identification processes carried out in the Video Identification modality as described in this section.

  • Contracted processes (Number/package of contracted video identifications). Set of approved processes within the contracted subscription period plus the set of irregular processes that exceed the agreed minimum conversion percentage (PCMA) between VÍNTEGRIS and the Client.
  • Approved processes. A set of processes successfully executed that result in obtaining a verified identity and, where applicable, issuing a qualified electronic certificate.
  • Irregular processes. Set of processes that: i) end in a Rejected state or, ii) end in an Approved state, but require more than one iteration of the Video Identification process and/or a request for additional information and documentation from the requesting user.

The processes contracted by the client will therefore be accounted for as follows:

  • Approved processes will subtract 1 from the total number of contracted processes.
  • Irregular processes below the PCMA threshold will not be subtracted from the total number of contracted processes.
  • Irregular processes above the PCMA threshold that end in a Rejected state will subtract 1 from the total number of contracted processes.
  • Irregular processes above the PCMA threshold that end in Approved status will subtract 2 from the total number of contracted processes.

If VÍNTEGRIS and the client do not agree on a specific PCMA, it will be assumed to be 20%.

3.4. Service Level Agreements (SLA) for the VÍNTEGRIS Registry Operator service.

The use of nebulaID in its unattended remote video identification mode requires the manual review of biometric evidence by a registration operator, whose availability directly conditions the response time between the completion of the process by the requesting user and the moment in which the user’s identity is validated and the issuance of the qualified electronic certificate or any other subsequent process can proceed.

This response time is regulated by a Service Level Agreement (SLA) between the client and VÍNTEGRIS, which governs the limits under which each request is handled. This SLA is defined as follows.

  • Registration service availability (Service Coverage). Time interval during which operators are available to handle requests. Examples: 8×5, 12×7, 24×7.
  • Maximum resolution interval or time (Response Time). This is the maximum time that elapses before a request is resolved within the service’s operating hours. This includes both approved and rejected processes, as defined in section 3.3. Examples: 1 hour, NBD (next business day), 1 week.
    The processing time for an application will only begin once the identification process has been completed by the applicant and all required documentation has been correctly attached.
  • Volume of requests processed (Minimum number of video identifications). Minimum number of requests committed for review by the registration operators within the maximum resolution interval.
    The team of operators will be able to process more requests depending on availability, as long as it does not conflict with the SLA agreed with other clients.

VÍNTEGRIS does not guarantee any SLA that has not been clearly stated in a prior agreement between the two parties. This includes response times from the registry office, conversion rates for the video identification process, and availability of the video identification service.

4. NebulaCERT Terms

4.1. Use of Qualified Certificates. It is the client’s responsibility to use their qualified digital certificates in accordance with the terms stipulated by the issuing trusted service provider. The conditions of use for the certificates are detailed in the “acceptance sheet” or contract signed by the certificate holder upon delivery, and such use must comply with applicable law, including any laws regulating signature authentication and signature delegation. VÍNTEGRIS will not be liable for the consequences of a breach of contract between the certificate holder and the issuing certification authority, or for any misuse of a certificate and its associated private key by the holder.

5. NebulaSIGN Terms

5.1. Signature formats. nebulaSIGN allows you to generate the most common signature formats, including CAdES, PAdES, and XAdES in their various forms. Detailed information on the different recognized signature formats can be found on the e-government portal: http://firmaelectronica.gob.es/Home/Ciudadanos/Formatos-Firma.html

6. NebulaSNE Terms

N/A

7. Nebula Terms DISCOVER

7.1 Collection of personal data. During the registration process, the following personal information is collected: name, surname, company, and email address. This information is processed in accordance with the provisions of clause sixteen of the nebulaSUITE General Terms and Conditions.

ANNEX II

Service Level Agreements (SLAs)

This Service Level Agreement (“SLA”) for nebulaSUITE Services is a policy that governs the use of nebulaSUITE and applies independently to each service. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this SLA and the General Terms and Conditions, the terms and conditions of this SLA shall apply, but only to the extent of such conflict. Terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the General Terms and Conditions.

Definitions
  • Error Rate: (i) the total number of internal server or service availability errors returned by each service divided by (ii) the total number of requests during a five-minute period. The Error Rate for each nebulaSUITE account and for each service separately will be calculated as a percentage for each five-minute period in the billing cycle. The calculation of the number of internal server or service availability errors will not include errors that arise directly or indirectly as a result of any SLA exclusions for the services, as defined below.
  • Average Service Availability Percentage (ASAP): is calculated as the difference between 100% of the average Error Rates of each 5-minute period of the billing cycle, whatever it may be.

  • For the provision of the 24×7 Plus Support service, Víntegris makes available to its clients a team made up of support engineers and DevOps engineers trained for the urgent diagnosis and resolution, outside of working hours, of most of the incidents that may cause an unavailability of a critical service.
  • The 24×7 Plus Support includes all the features of the Standard Support and Plus Support and adds the following features:
    • 24/7 service available at any time of day, including holidays, only for Severity 1 incidents
    • Direct telephone hotline for reporting Severity 1 incidents every day of the week at any time of day 24×7 (5)
    • The CLIENT’s previously designated contacts may activate 24/7 support only when they are experiencing a malfunction or unavailability of the nebulaSUITE service or any of its components due to technical problems originating from/within nebulaSUITE that prevent the client’s users from performing their work or cause it to be performed deficiently, hindering the overall performance of these users’ functions within the client’s organization.

Severity 1
Critical Incidents, which affect the production environment with a high impact or urgency. Product incidents that prevent the main functions of the product from being carried out on all workstations or users (major impact).
2 hours
By telephone through a previously designated CLIENT contact person.

(5) It is recommended to use the telephone Hotline only outside normal working hours, since the usual channels already allow the management of critical incidents during this period.

To contract this service, it is necessary to contact Víntegris.

Detailed scope of Plus Support coverage

Through the Plus Support service, VÍNTEGRIS provides a help and collaboration service to its customers that goes beyond the Standard Support included by default with each nebulaSUITE subscription or any of its components.

It is aimed at those customers who make intensive, functional or frequent use of nebulaSUITE in organizations, primarily through:

  • nebulaSUITE administrators

  • Certificate owners in nebulaCERT
  • Programmers who use the REST API
  • Operators of the vinCAsign Registration Authority via nebulaID
  • Users requesting vinCAsign certificates

This service is not intended to be a managed service that replaces the work that each of the aforementioned groups performs in the CLIENT’s organization, but rather an assistance tool to resolve doubts or carry out actions for which, due to their specialized nature or simply lack of knowledge, they are not initially qualified.

Therefore, unless otherwise determined by the support team, all service actions provided through Plus Support will require the active collaboration of at least the person requesting the service, and the tasks necessary for their execution will be carried out through direct interaction between the support staff and this person.

Similarly, although the actions carried out with applicants will, as far as possible, have an educational character so that the requesting user can improve their training in the use of our technology, Support Plus is not a training service, nor is it a tool to create specific documentation for the CLIENT’s users.

All service actions within the Support Plus framework will be limited by nebulaSUITE’s technical capabilities at the time the specific service is provided. You will be notified promptly if a request cannot be fulfilled because it exceeds these capabilities or falls outside the functional scope of our solution.

On-premise components requiring specific actions must use officially supported versions; if not, the CLIENT will be coordinated to update them.

Details of tasks included in Plus Support

Resolution of extended usage or operation questions that are not covered by Standard Support.

    • To address any type of doubt or technical question about the operation and use of nebulaSUITE and its components.
    • Whenever possible, try to answer using the documentation provided in the nebulaSUITE product and user manuals in order to familiarize users with this material and its use.
    • If the request exceeds the scope outlined in the nebulaSUITE manuals, it may need to be transferred to another team before it can be answered for the requester.

To directly support the CLIENT in specific service operation tasks in their corporate environments, even if they are not caused by incidents or malfunctions of nebulaSUITE or any of its components.
Among others, the following types of actions are included:

  • Creating and configuring users and groups in nebulaUSERS
  • General and security configuration of the corporate nebulaSUITE environment
  • Help with importing certificates in nebulaCERT
  • Help with creating certificate policies, ACLs, and navigation cycles in nebulaCERT
  • Help with nebulaSIGN signature workflows and step configuration
  • SAML federation configuration with corporate IDP

Provide direct support for updating and configuring on-premise service components:

  • nebulaCERT agent on Windows workstations
  • SSO components for authentication integrated with Active Directory
  • Active Directory User and Group Synchronizer
  • Authentication Bridge for authentication integrated with Active Directory
  • Local KeyCave for key storage in the corporate infrastructure (with and without HSM)

Provide support for the development of integrated applications using the nebulaSUITE REST API

  • Requests for specific help for using nebulaSUITE functionalities through its REST API<
  • Providing examples via Postman

It helps users and operators in the processes of requesting, approving and issuing Víntegris certificates

    • It assists CLIENT operators in creating requests for new certificates
    • Resolution of procedural doubts and doubts about documentation required for the approval of applications depending on the type of certificates
    • It helps end users in the processes of video identification, issuance and downloading of certificates

To ensure the availability of the Plus Support service for all customers, there are logical limits to its use. These limitations are detailed in the customer’s specific terms and conditions.

Service evolution

VÍNTEGRIS provides software maintenance and update services, consisting of a new version of the software that eliminates existing errors in the current version or software improvements.

VÍNTEGRIS reserves the right to suspend, totally or partially, the contracted service if it notices, detects and/or verifies in its maintenance work any alteration that slows down or leads to a detriment in the provision of the service or the rights of clients or third parties; also if a risk or vulnerability to the security of the Service is detected.

VÍNTEGRIS reserves the right to unilaterally update or improve its solutions without incurring any additional costs on the current subscription, without prejudice to the negotiation of the subscription renewal.

The Client agrees to provide VÍNTEGRIS, without being asked, with all the information necessary for the correct evaluation and execution of the corresponding service request to check and know the possible causes relating to the conditions of its operating system and other elements that may affect navigation.

Furthermore, the Client is obliged to install the updates made available by VÍNTEGRIS and to use only the most current version of the software or the one immediately prior to it.

VÍNTEGRIS will not be responsible for actions arising from or damages caused by the operation of the Platform if it does not meet the CLIENT’s expectations or when they may be due to problems caused by the CLIENT’s own systems and assets.

Service availability

Unless otherwise specified in the particular clauses of each service, VÍNTEGRIS Cloud services are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

VÍNTEGRIS will make all commercially reasonable efforts to ensure service availability with an Average Service Availability (ASA) of at least 99.5%, excluding justified downtime. VÍNTEGRIS will monitor service availability automatically 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

In the event of a planned service outage due to a platform update, VÍNTEGRIS will notify its customers in advance, indicating the reason for the service interruption, the date, time frame, and affected services. Therefore, it is the customer’s responsibility to keep their contact information updated for notifications throughout the duration of the Services.

Frequency of updates

Product updates do not occur on a fixed schedule. Should an update affect the availability of the Service, we will notify you, as described in the previous section.

SLA Exclusions

The Service Commitment does not apply to any unavailability, suspension, or termination of any of the services, or any other performance issues: (i) resulting from a suspension; (ii) caused by factors beyond VÍNTEGRIS’s reasonable control, including any force majeure event or internet access or related problems beyond its demarcation point; (iii) resulting from any action or omission by the Client or a third party; (iv) resulting from Client personnel, software, or any other technology and/or equipment, software, or technology of a third party (other than third-party equipment that is under VÍNTEGRIS’s direct control); (v) resulting from a suspension and termination of the Client’s right to use the services pursuant to the service agreement; (vi) affecting testing, development, pre-production, or commercial environments.

ANNEX III

Data Processing Agreement (“DPA”) for Víntegris nebulaSUITE services

This Data Processing Agreement (“DPA”) is an agreement between the applicant and the entity they represent (“Client”) and Víntegris, SL (“VÍNTEGRIS”) and sets out the obligations of both parties with respect to the processing and security of the personal data for which the Client is responsible in connection with the use of nebulaSUITE Services.

This ATD supplements the nebulaSUITE Service Terms and Conditions available at https://old.vintegris.com/es/nebulasuite-service-terms/ or any other agreement between the Client and VÍNTEGRIS governing the Client’s use of nebulaSUITE Services provided by VÍNTEGRIS when Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (“GDPR”) applies to the use of these services.

Personal data will be processed for the purpose of providing the nebulaSuite services described in ANNEX I of the General Terms and Conditions that are contracted by the Client.

Services contracted by the Client that are related to services provided by Vintegris in its capacity as a qualified trusted service provider are excluded.

In relation to the provision of trust services, a processing assignment will only be considered to exist when the Client is a Qualified Trust Service Provider (QTSP) and contracts the services of Vintegris as its delegated RA.

Categories of data subjects whose personal data is processed

Depending on the services contracted:

  • Staff, collaborators and others authorized by the Client who are users of the nebulaSUITE platform
  • Holders of the certificates that the Client manages through nebulaSUITE services
  • Applicants for the issuance of qualified certificates through remote video identification using the nebulaID platform

Categories of personal data processed

Depending on the services contracted:

  • Information from nebulaSUITE platform users necessary to access and use the services
    1. User identity, for example, their first and last name
    2. Professional contact information such as email address and phone number
    3. Authentication data for access
    4. Logs of user activity on the use of the Services, which may include information about the IP address from which the nebulaSUITE platform is accessed
  • Data of the certificate holders that the Client decides to include in them:
    1. Personal identification information, including unique identity numbers such as ID or passport number, employee number, or others that the client uses to identify certificate holders
    2. Professional contact information, such as a professional email address
    3. Information regarding professional relationships, such as company and job title or powers of attorney granted
    4. Image of the signature that may appear on documents stored on the nebulaSUITE platform
  • The certificates themselves are qualified as supporting documentation for the data of the certificate holders
  • In the case of using nebulaID for remote video identification:
    1. Identifying information
    2. Image of identity documents
    3. OCR processing results of identity documents
    4. Recorded video footage of the platform user’s proof of life, including voice recordings

    6. Personal details of the applicant depending on the type of certificate to be issued (position or representation, professional association membership, qualification)

Special category data:

  • This ATD does not consider the processing of data classified as “special category data” or data requiring special protection measures
  • The processing of such data on behalf of the client should only be carried out with a prior agreement between both parties and after having carried out an appropriate data protection impact assessment before processing
  • In the case of nebulaID, although a facial recognition process is performed using biometric techniques, no biometric data is stored.

Nature of treatment

Depending on the services contracted:

  • VÍNTEGRIS will process Customer Data through the Services provided by the nebulaSUITE platform
  • It involves the following activities:
    1. Registration and storage of customer information
    2. Deletion or destruction of information when required by the Client and upon termination of the service
    3. Limitation of the processing of information at the request of the Client or competent authority
  • In the case of services provided through nebulaID:
    1. Capturing videos of users and their identification documents
    2. Scanning and OCR processing of identification documents
    3. Application of facial recognition algorithms by comparing the image of the person with the one contained in the identification document using document validation technology and facial biometrics

  • All data is stored on servers in the EU using services provided by third parties, as stipulated in ANNEX IV List of Sub-processors
  • The data is provided by the Client, as the data controller, when using the Services
  • Processing on the nebulaSUITE platform is automated, therefore VÍNTEGRIS staff do not have access to Customer data. Such access would only occur at the Customer’s express request and under their supervision, for example, if they require support for its use or to resolve a problem reported by the Customer.
  • VÍNTEGRIS believes that it does not have instructions for processing any other personal data that may be included in the content managed by the Client.
  • Any additional personal data that is processed by VÍNTEGRIS on behalf of the Client must be agreed to as an amendment to this ATD
  • It should be noted that if the contracted services include the issuance of qualified certificates by VinCAsign, the certification authority of VÍNTEGRIS, the responsibility for this processing lies with VÍNTEGRIS, as established by current legislation relating to the provision of trust services
  • The use of nebulaID corresponds to a registration authority (RA) function, and is therefore only considered part of a processing engagement when the client is another Qualified Certification Service Provider (QTSP) that has responsibility for the RA

Purpose of the processing of personal data on behalf of the data controller

Depending on the services contracted:

  • VÍNTEGRIS will process the data solely for the purpose of providing the services of the nebulaSUITE platform contracted and in accordance with the General Conditions of Service.
  • VINTEGRIS will process the data exclusively to perform identity validation through video identification.
