The type and amount of data we collect varies in function of your relationship with us.

Why we process your information

There are several legal grounds why we may process your information.

Because you have agreed.
Where possible, we collect information about you with your consent. This is the case, for instance, when you fill in paper or online forms and choose to provide us with your information.

Because we need it to execute or take steps to enter into a contract with you.
If you are one of our customers, we collect or use your personal data because it is necessary for the performance of a contract you are a party to, for instance to deliver goods you have ordered. We may also collect your information because you requested us to take steps prior to entering into a contract with us, for instance when you ask us to give you a quote.

Because it is in our legitimate interest.
We also sometimes process your information in pursuit of our legitimate interests to:

  • carry out direct marketing activities and send you communications in that regard;
  • improve our business and operate it efficiently;
  • prevent fraud; and
  • ensure general safety and security.

When we process your information on that basis, we always make sure that we balance our interest in having the information with your rights and reasonable expectations.

Because we need it to comply with the law.
In some very rare cases, we will need to retain your information because we are compelled to do so by law.
