Personal data

We would like to inform you that we shall collect and use the personal data you provide to us, as this allows us to conclude and implement a possible contract with you. This applies to both (potential) customers and parties we purchase products and/or services from.

If you are a (potential) customer, we shall use your data to send you a quote, to establish which specifications or requirements a particular product or service has to meet, to deliver products or services to you, to invoice you, and to communicate with you about the agreement's implementation aspects quickly and efficiently.

If you are a (potential) supplier or contractor, your personal data are also necessary for the conclusion and implementation of the agreement. In case of procurement, the personal data are necessary to let you know which specifications or requirements a particular product or service has to meet, to send you a request for quote, to place an order with you, to pay your invoices, and to communicate with you about other aspects of the agreement quickly and efficiently.

You are not obliged to give us your personal data. However, if you do not provide us with any data or with insufficient personal data, we may not be able to carry out the above activities.
