2. What personal data do we process?

Depending on how you interact with us, we may process the following data:

  • Contact details: name, company name (if provided), email address, phone number.
  • Communication: the content of messages you send to us (e.g., via email or a form).
  • Request details: data you provide with a request (e.g., interest in collections, preferences, and—if needed—delivery details for handling your request).
  • Technical data: IP address, browser and device information, and information about your visit (e.g., via server logs and—if you give consent—analytics cookies).

3. What do we use your data for?

  • To respond to contact requests and communicate with you.
  • To process requests (e.g., information requests) and deliver our services.
  • For customer and relationship management and for preparing/performing quotations and agreements (primarily B2B).
  • For security and to improve our website and services.
  • For marketing/updates (only where permitted and, where required, with your consent; you can unsubscribe at any time).

4. What is the legal basis for processing?

We process personal data only when there is a valid legal basis, such as:

  • Consent (e.g., for non-essential cookies, where applicable).
  • Performance of a contract or taking steps at your request prior to entering into a contract (e.g., a quotation or request).
  • Legal obligation (e.g., statutory retention obligations).
  • Legitimate interests (e.g., website security and B2B relationship management), where we balance our interests against your privacy rights.

5. How long do we keep your data?

We do not keep personal data longer than necessary. Our general guidelines are:

  • Contact/questions: typically up to 24 months after completion, unless a longer period is needed (e.g., an ongoing business relationship).
  • Quotations/relationships/agreements: as long as necessary for the relationship and administration.
  • Financial administration: in line with legal retention periods (in the Netherlands typically 7 years).
  • Technical logs: as short as possible and in line with common security and management retention periods.

6. Who do we share your data with?

We never sell your data. We share data only when necessary to provide our services or when we are legally required to do so. This may include IT/hosting providers and communication service providers. Where required, we enter into data processing agreements with processors.

7. Transfers outside the EEA

If we use suppliers outside the European Economic Area (EEA), we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or equivalent protective measures.

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies:

  • Functional cookies (necessary for the website to function).
  • Analytics cookies (to improve the website). Where consent is required, we place these only after your consent.

You can manage cookies via your browser settings and (if available) through our cookie settings/banner.
