1. INTRODUCTION

Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Statement describes how we handle your personal data. We shall only use your personal data for the purposes stated in this Privacy Statement and for no other purposes unless the further processing of the personal data is compatible with the purposes for which this data was originally processed.

2. PERSONAL DATA WE COLLECT

We collect personal data via our website, when you contact us and/or when we send a newsletter.
Personal data is data that can be used to identify your identity. We collect the following information from you in the following way:
• If you contact our customer service, we ask you for your name and e-mail address in order to be able to answer your question.
• When you visit our website, we collect information about your visit and click behaviour on our website in order to bring our products to your attention and to personalise your website visit. This concerns the IP address of your computer, the time of retrieval, and any other data your browser sends to us.
• We collect technical data from our website visitors in order to analyse and improve our services. This includes the measurement and analysis of statistical data and the generation of user statistics. We use technical data through the use of cookies.

3. WHY WE COLLECT YOUR PERSONAL DATA: PURPOSES

We only process your personal data for the purposes described above. We shall ask you for your consent before we use your personal data for other purposes, unless the further processing of the personal data is compatible with the purposes for which this data was originally processed. If we wish to process your personal data for other purposes, we shall inform you in advance. We may have to share your personal data with authorities or other third parties, for example when there are legal obligations. We shall not use your personal data to take a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling.

4. LEGAL BASES FOR PROCESSING

We may process your data if we have certain legitimate interests in processing your personal data, except if your interest in not having the data processed is greater. Optimising our marketing campaign, personalising our website, and answering your questions is part of our regular business activities. In addition, we would like to keep you informed about our products via the newsletter as part of our regular business activities. We also have an interest in a website with good functionality that is tailored to the wishes of the visitors of the website. You have the right to object to these processing operations. If you wish to object, please contact us. You can reach us via the online contact form or call: +31 (0) 70 319 99 00. In that case, we shall cease processing your personal data unless there are compelling, justifiable reasons why our interest in the processing is greater than your interest in stopping the processing. You may not be able to make the best use of our services if you request us to cease processing.

You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. In that case your personal data shall be deleted.
You can withdraw your consent in the following way:
• Via the online contact form
• Via telephone: +31 70 319 99 00

5. PERSONAL DATA OF MINORS

We only process the personal data of minors if written permission is given by the parent, caregiver or legal representative.

6. COOKIES

We use so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small text files that are stored on a computer or other device such as a tablet or telephone when a visitor views or uses our website. Because some cookies can be traced to personal preferences, they fall under personal data. The purpose of the use of cookies is:
• To allow the website to function properly or better by, for example, recognising the visitor and thus providing a better service.
• Traffic analysis on a website with the aim of identifying potential improvements.
• Recording visitor surfing behaviour with the aim of being able to make more targeted offers.
You can decide yourself whether to accept or refuse cookies. Most internet browsers are set to accept cookies automatically by default. You can, however, change the settings of your browser to prevent this. The Help function of your internet browser shows how you can block cookies. When you choose this, it is possible that certain parts of the website do not function optimally or are not accessible. It is also possible to adjust the settings so you receive a notification before a cookie is saved. We do not keep unique personal data. Therefore, no information is included in our cookies that can be traced back to individual persons. We deal with the data collected by means of cookies confidentially.

7. GOOGLE ANALYTICS

At this moment we do not collect any data for Google analytics.

8. HOW LONG WE STORE YOUR DATA

We do not store your personal data longer than is necessary for the purpose for which we process the data.
• Answering your questions: your name and contact details are stored with a maximum period of 1 year. Unless there are other (legal) reasons for retaining the data.
• Technical reasons, such as website optimisation: technical data is stored in an anonymous form as far as possible and used as long as necessary to optimise the website, but not longer than six months.

9. HOW WE SECURE YOUR DATA

We have taken technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unlawful processing or loss.
The security measures we have taken include, but are not limited to, the following measures:
• All persons working with us are bound to maintain confidentiality of your personal data.
• We ensure third parties who have access to your personal data comply with the requirements we set for security. We have entered into contracts with these third parties to protect your data.
• Where possible, we pseudonymise your data and we encrypt personal data.
• We test and evaluate the set measures regularly.

We cannot completely prevent third parties from accessing your data or prevent a loss of your data through a breach of our security measures, but we shall take all appropriate measures to ensure your personal data is not accessible to unauthorised persons.

10. WHERE YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED

We process your personal data in the European Union. Your personal data will not be processed or transmitted to other countries.

11. WHO HAS ACCESS TO YOUR DATA

We shall not provide your personal data to third parties, except to the parties described below or if you have given permission for this. We work with the following external parties who have access to your personal data:
• Salesforce, for statistic purposes.

We have entered into a processing agreement with those parties that process your personal data in order to protect your personal data.
We reserve the right to share your personal data with third parties when this is required by law or when this is necessary to protect the interests of you, us or third parties.

12. CHANGES TO OUR POLICY

This Privacy Statement may be amended in the event of changes to our products or services, or changes in privacy legislation. We shall publish every amendment on this website. In the case of substantial amendments that apply to you, we shall inform you personally about this by sending you an e-mail for example.

13. HOW CAN YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHTS?

14. OBJECTION AND RIGHT OF COMPLAINT

We process certain personal data about you based on our justified interests. You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data on this basis at all times.
