II. What personal data we collect and what we do with your data

The “Overview of NIKON IMAGE SPACE Activities” in the Annex outlines the personal data collected, the processing performed, and the purpose of use.
Legal basis
Nikon processes your personal data to provide our services to you, to comply with legal obligations we are subject to or if it is necessary for our legitimate interests or the interests of a third party or on the basis of consent. When we process your personal data for our legitimate interests or the interests of a third party, we will take reasonable measures to prevent unwarranted harm to you. Our legitimate interests are for example, our interest of improving our product and services delivery by storing contact details, reducing our costs, improving our newsletters and websites by analyzing which parts of our communications are most relevant for you. Or of securing our services and systems, such as the purposes mentioned in the Annex. More information on the balancing tests we perform on your and our legitimate interests is available upon request. Where we process your personal data for our legitimate interests or the interests of a third party, you have the right to object at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation (please see Section VII.

You may withdraw your consent at any time in relation to the processing for which you provided your consent in NIKON IMAGE SPACE by adjusting your Membership information setting.
Where we process your personal data for a purpose other than that for which we collected it initially (and we rely on a legal basis other than consent or complying with legal obligations for this new purpose), we will ascertain whether processing for this new purpose is compatible with the purpose for which the personal data were initially collected, and we will inform you of this additional basis of use, if it is not already made clear to you elsewhere.

However, each Nikon Group company and those other systems and databases will only collect, receive, use, share or otherwise process such personal data in accordance with applicable laws, this privacy notice, our Nikon Group Privacy Protection Statement (https://www.nikon.com/privacy/privacy_policy.htm).

The right to data portability, for example, does not apply in case the personal data was not provided by you or if we process the data not on the basis of your consent or for the performance of a contract.

You are also entitled to know how we have obtained your data, including those obtained without your consent.
