Collection and Use of Personal Data from Customers, Suppliers, and Other Contractors
We would like to inform you that we will collect and use the personal data you provide to us because it is necessary to enter into and perform a potential agreement with you.
This applies to both our (potential) customers and to parties from whom we purchase goods and/or services. If you are a (potential) customer of ours, we will use your information to send you a quotation, determine the specifications or requirements for a particular product or service, deliver products or perform services for you, invoice you, and communicate efficiently with you about the execution of the agreement.
If you are a (potential) supplier or other contractor, your personal data is also necessary for the conclusion and performance of the agreement. In procurement, this is necessary to inform you about the specifications or requirements for a particular product or service as far as we are concerned, send a request for quotation, place an order with you, pay your invoices, and communicate effectively with you about other aspects of the agreement. You are not obligated to provide us with your personal data. However, if you do not provide us with sufficient personal data, we may not be able to carry out the aforementioned tasks.
Transfer to Third Parties
In connection with the execution of a potential agreement with you, it may be necessary for us to provide your personal data to parties that supply components, materials, and products to us or perform tasks on our behalf. We also share information with other parties to enhance online services, such as Google Analytics. Additionally, we use external server space for storing (parts of) our sales and procurement administration, in which your personal data may be included. For this reason, your personal data will be provided to our server space provider.
