OnBaze fulfills two tasks. OnBaze is, among other things, a service for searchers. And OnBaze is, among other things, a service for companies. Our task is to bring both parties together, the searcher and the company. And when we say company, we mean any organization that is listed on our website providing services or products, also considering people and other forms of organizations. For this purpose, you as a searcher have the opportunity to contact companies through OnBaze. We want to keep this data transfer as transparent as possible and that’s why in the next paragraphs we will describe exactly how the storage and transmission of your personal data takes place. In addition, even after you have made the transfer by clicking the submit-button, you may request your data to be deleted from our databases at any time. Please note the point “Deleting your data on request” below.
Submitting Your Data to OnBaze
- Unacceptable Use
1.1. You agree not to send any form of advertisement, promotion, or spam to agencies. You acknowledge that OnBaze uses spam filtering methods and will not deliver your message if it contains such content. This also contains any methods of communication that has been altered or or disguised not to be revealed as such.
1.2. You are not allowed to crawl our website for the purpose to collect business data or use our agency and location database for the purpose of creating a database of your own based on our data. - Acceptable Use
OnBaze takes over the transfer of your data to companies and organizations, so that you get the best possible result such as an appropriate response from one or more companies. Basically, OnBaze does not store any personal data of you, unless you actively transfer your data by completing the forms. Apart from that, OnBaze will never automatically store any of your personal information.
The transmission of the data to companies is illustrated by the following example: As soon as you transfer your data via the contact or any other form form, OnBaze will store this data in a protected and secured area in highly secured servers. In principle, we will not disclose your data unless you expressly agree to it by submitting the data to us through a form on OnBaze. By sending your data to OnBaze, you expressly consent to the disclosure of your data by voluntarily transferring the data to OnBaze. We then pass on this data to the companies. That means we need to cache as in storing/saving your data in our database before we pass that data on to selected companies or to a selected company. By submitting the form, you express your wish that your data should be transferred to a selected company or selected companies, so you can get the best possible outcome. Once you submit your inquiry to us, our goal is to take actions to forward your inquiry to companies. By doing so, we set contact the companies and also actively pursue and check whether the companies actually contact you back. This way, we keep our database with companies at a high quality to ensure that you get contacted. If we find out that despite your request and wish to be contacted by a company or more companies, the company or the companies have not contacted you, we intend to place these companies on our list on lower positions or even remove them altogether from our list. As the quality of our database is very important to us, we cannot allow ourselves to maintain company lists that are not willing to provide you a proper response according to your query or request to be contacted. When you transfer your data to OnBaze, you give us the right and your unequivocal permission to share your information with companies so that they can contact you. If companies fail to respond after one or more contact requests, OnBaze’s business model is designed to stop sending contact requests to companies and remove them from our listings if necessary. In this way, we want to make sure that your data is only sent to companies that are also interested in answering and contacting you. By transferring your data to us through the existing forms on OnBaze, you understand that we are not keeping a list which companies have been contacted with your inquiry. For example, you as a user make a selection of preferred companies you wish to send your data and inquiry using forms on OnBaze. OnBaze does not maintain a list of these companies you contact, as well as other eligible companies to which your request has been forwarded. Therefore, by transferring your data, you also suspend the right to demand from OnBaze to which companies your data has been forwarded.
Deleting Your Data on Request
- Removal Request
You have the right to request the deletion of your data at any time, even after you have sent the contact form. Write an email to dtamanagementreq@onbaze.com and provide your details, so we know which data to remove. Within 7 days we will then delete your personal data from our database. Data already transferred to third party companies can’t be deleted or removed since it’s not in our power and we have no control over the data of other entities. - Disallow Indexation
In its foundation, OnBaze works much like a search engine. Our crawler indexes companies’ websites and adds them in their database. We also crawl images of websites. You can technically disallow crawling your content by making an entry in your Robots Exclusion file. In this case, put a disallow on “onbaze” and we will no longer crawl your website in our directory.
