If you are a (potential) customer of ours, we use your data for sending you quotations, for determining which specifications or requirements a specific item or service must meet, for delivering goods or carrying out work for you, for invoicing you and for ease of communication regarding matters connected with the implementation of the agreement.
If you are a (potential) supplier or other contractor, your personal data is also necessary for concluding and carrying out the agreement. For purchasing, this is necessary for advising you which specifications or requirements we consider a specific item or service should meet, for sending you a quotation request or for placing an order with you, for paying your invoices and for ease of communication regarding other matters connected with the agreement. You are not obliged to provide us with your personal data. If you provide us with no or insufficient personal data, then it is possible, however, that we will not be able to perform the aforementioned activities.
If you are a temporary agency worker, we will use the data that we receive from the employment agency to assess your suitability for a current or possible future vacant position and for the performance of the employment agency agreement. We may pass your personal data/company data to other parties. These other parties could be government bodies in order to comply with the law, parties who carry out work on our behalf, or parties to whom we are obliged to provide data in connection with the agreement. This relates to the following parties:
In connection with the performance of any agreement with you, it is possible that we will have to provide your personal data to parties that supply us with parts, materials and products or perform work on our behalf. For certain services we also use external server space for the storage of (parts of) our sales and purchasing administration in which your personal data is held. For this reason, your personal data is supplied to our server space provider. We also use Microsoft Office and the associated storage facilities for emails and other files. Your personal data is never sold on or forwarded to third parties, or used for other commercial purposes.
If you regularly place orders with us or request quotations, we will store and use the personal data you have provided to inform you personally in the future by email about our existing and new products and services, and possibly to notify you about special offers. We have a legitimate interest in using your personal data for this purpose, namely to market our products and services. Every time we send you an advertising mail, you have the option to advise us that you are no longer interested in them. See the unsubscribe link at the bottom of each mailing. If you are a new contact or a once-only customer, we will only send you advertising messages if you have given us your prior consent for this.
