Collecting and using personal data from customers, suppliers and other contractors

We would like to draw your attention to the fact that we will collect and use the personal data you provide because this is essential for concluding and carrying out any agreement we may reach with you. This applies to our (potential) customers as well as for parties from whom we purchase goods and/or services.

If you are a (potential) customer of ours, then we use your data for sending you a quotation, for determining the specifications or requirements that particular goods or a service should satisfy, for delivering goods or carrying out activities for you, for invoicing and for smooth communications with you about aspects concerning the execution of the agreement.

If you are a (potential) supplier or other contractor, then your personal data is also essential for concluding and executing the agreement. With purchasing, that is necessary to inform you of the specifications or requirements that we consider that particular goods or a service should satisfy, for sending a quotation request or for placing an order with you, for paying your invoices and for smooth communication with you about other aspects of the agreement.

You are not obliged to supply us with your personal data. However, if you submit no, or insufficient, personal data, then we may not be able to execute the aforementioned activities.

Passing on to third parties

In connection with the execution of a possible agreement with you, we may have to supply your personal data to parties that supply us with parts, materials and products or that carry out activities at our request. Your personal data may also be included in external server capacity for the storage of (some of) our sales and purchasing administration. For this reason, your personal data is supplied to the provider of our server capacity. We also use Microsoft Office and the associated storage options for emails and other files. As we use a mailing service, your personal data is passed on to this service provider. This website uses cookies. A cookie is a simple text file that is sent along with the pages of this website and which your browser stores on your computer. We use these among other things to analyse visitor behaviour. You can refuse to use cookies, but this may restrict the functionality and ease of use of the website.

We use Google Maps and Google Analytics.
We use Google Analytics to keep track of how visitors use the website. Google stores this information, together with your computer's IP-address, on servers in the United States. Google uses this information to keep track on how our website is used in order to supply us with reports about the website and to offer its advertisers information about the effectiveness of their campaigns.

Google can supply this information to third parties if Google is legally bound to do so, or insofar as these third parties process the information on behalf of Google. We have no influence on this.
This website includes buttons (and/or links) for promoting pages or for sharing them on various social media channels, such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. These buttons are defined by code supplied by Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. Among other things, this code installs a cookie to e.g. analyse visitor behaviour.

Direct marketing

If you have given us your consent, we will keep the personal data that you have submitted and use it in the future to send you emails to inform you of our existing and new products and services and to make you a relevant offer, if applicable. Each time we send you an advertisement mailing, you have the option of letting us know that you no longer appreciate this. See for this the bottom of the mailing.

 

Storage period of personal data

If you have requested a quotation from us, but you have not become one of our customers, we will remove your data no later than one year after our last contact. Even if we have received a quotation from you, but we have not become a customer of yours, your personal data will be removed no later than one year after our last contact. If you have become a customer of ours, or if we have become a customer of yours, then we will keep your personal data for seven years after the end of the financial year in which the agreement with you was fully executed. This period of seven years corresponds with the period in which we are obliged to keep our administration for the Tax Authority. We will remove your personal data once this period has elapsed.

 

Your rights

You have the right to request us to access your own personal data. If there is a reason to do so, you can also request us to supplement your personal data or to rectify any errors. You also have the right to request that your personal data be erased, or to restrict the use of your personal data. You may also object against the collection and use of your data, or you may submit a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority. In conclusion, you can request receipt of your personal data or to transmit the data to another party. In order to exert your rights, you can refer to: Annemarie Noordam or Annette Schouw, +31 (0) 174 517 700 and personeelszaken@berghortimotive.nl. Of course, you can also contact us with questions or for more information about collecting and using your personal data.
