Analysis for the purpose of management information

Some of your data may be used for management information, for example data such as your usage, family composition and your country and province of residence. Your data will always be completely anonymised and absolutely cannot be traced back to you as a person.

International transfer of Personal Data

We may use, disclose, process, transfer or store personal information outside the country in which it was collected, such as the United States and other countries. Countries that may not provide the same level of protection with respect to personal data as the country where you are located. Furthermore, there are situations where personal data is transferred to third-party service providers in the United States or other countries to provide services to Conneqtech, such as payment processing, web hosting, etc. Conneqtech uses third-party service providers to process data for supporting services and administrative purposes. When Conneqtech uses another company to perform a function of this nature, Conneqtech shall require such a party to protect Conneqtech’s personal data and they shall not be authorised to use this personal data for any other purpose.

Noodzakelijk voor uitvoering van de overeenkomst die wij met u aangaan:

Your personal data are mainly processed when you purchase one of our services or products. We need your personal data for the performance of the agreement between you and Conneqtech. If you do not provide us with the personal data requested by us, you will not be able to use or purchase our services or you may only be able to use or purchase them in part.

We process your personal data for the following purposes:

  • To enable you to use our products and services;
  • To collect, analyse, manage, store and process the information obtained, including personal data;
  • To send our newsletters, e-mails and/or offers;
  • To call and/or e-mail you if this is necessary for the performance of our agreement with you;
  • To inform you of changes to our products and services, and updates;
  • More generally, in order to make our products and services possible and to optimise them for you.

When we process your personal data, we comply with the statutory requirements as set out in the GDPR, the General Data Protection Regulation.

Therefore there is always a legal basis for processing your personal data. In doing so, we have carefully weighed up your interests against those of our organisation.

For a legitimate organisational interest

For processing – including the storage and protection – your personal data in the framework of improving our services. For example, but not exclusively, Conneqtech has a legitimate organisational interest by way of marketing activities, surveys and research. This enables us to improve our services continuously, including by means of direct marketing.

We process your data at contact times with our company through our website or one of our employees, so that we are able to deal with your questions, complaints or comments quickly and able to assist you adequately. This working method also enables us to build a long-term relationship with you, which is our ambition and an aim we continue to work for.

Statutory obligation

Processing and consequently storing some of your personal data is required in order to comply with statutory obligations.

Consent

If we need more personal data from you, we will ask for your explicit consent.

How long do we retain your personal information?

We will not retain your personal data any longer than necessary to achieve the purposes set out in this Privacy Statement, unless we have your explicit and recorded consent to keep your data longer, for example to improve our service, and unless we have a statutory obligation to keep your personal data longer.

Financial data

We keep our financial records for 10 years. This means that all your data and documents that pertain to financial transactions between you and Conneqtech will be kept for 10 years after purchasing our products and services. If you do not use our app for two years, we will anonymise your account information automatically.

Data from contact times

Chat times with our customer services are deleted within 14 days of the contact time, unless the content of the messages is relevant to the service or product you purchase from us or to any future services or products. Recorded phone calls and WhatsApp calls are deleted within three months. E-mail messages sent to you or received by us and complaints submitted by you will be kept for a maximum of 10 years.

Processing personal data with your consent

We shall retain personal data we process with your consent until you revoke your permission and have informed us of the same in writing. If you have not logged in to us for two years or more, we will anonymise your account information automatically.

How is your personal data secured and where do we store it?

We take the security of your personal data extremely seriously. We have technical and organisational security measures in place to protect your personal data from loss or unauthorised use, such as unauthorised access to your personal data. This takes account of the state of the art and the cost of implementation, in order to guarantee an appropriate level of security in view of the risks involved in processing and the nature of the data to be protected. Our policy is that only those Conneqtech employees, who actually need access for the performance of their work, have access to your personal data. In order to strengthen your privacy, confidentiality has been agreed with all Conneqtech employees and an individual privacy statement has been signed by them.

Your data will be stored on European territory, except for your name and e-mail address. So-called subprocessors have been engaged to ensure the correct operation of our services. These subprocessors only act on behalf of Conneqtech and only when the subprocessors in question have introduced sufficient safeguards in respect of technical and organisational security measures. These appropriate safeguards consist of binding corporate rules, approved standard data protection clauses and the EU-US Privacy Shield.

Users are required to protect their user name or user ID for use on our website and are responsible for any misuse or unauthorised use of our website via their password and user ID. Users are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their passwords. If, as a user, you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure, for example, if you believe that the security of the account you have with us has been compromised, you should contact us immediately at [email protected] or by letter to our address at Einsteinweg 35a, 3752 LW in Bunschoten-Spakenburg, for the attention of the Privacy Officer
