This can include the following: name, date of birth, address, phone number, email address, job title, company name, company address, payment details where relevant, IP address, geographical location of where you accessed our website, information about how you use/interact with our website, information from cookies (if you have consented to their use, please check our Cookies Policy) and information about your computer or other electronic device (tablet and browser type).
Your information is used to process your purchases, deliver our services and contact you, as well as to improve the website experience for our users.
Therefore, we request that the information you provide is as accurate as possible as this allows us to secure your privacy in relation to registered services by differentiating you from others.
We use information about you for the following purposes:
5.1 To perform the services you have requested, such as when you purchase from us, we may collect the following information: name, date of birth, phone number, email address, address, billing address, company name (if applicable), VAT number (if applicable). If you don’t provide this information, you won’t be able to purchase from us or enter into a contract with us. In these instances, we process your personal data because it is necessary for the performance of a contract with you, or in order to take steps at your request to enter into a contract.
5.2 To alert you to offers, promotions, new products relating to Krehalon B.V. (where you have agreed to this). When you visit our website, send us an enquiry or purchase from us, you can opt in to receive marketing communications in relation to our products and services by ticking the relevant boxes. We will then send you the relevant marketing communications until such time that you remove your consent. In these instances, processing is performed on the basis of your consent.
5.3 To carry out market research or customer satisfaction surveys so that we can improve the products and services we offer. Your feedback is valued and helps to shape the products and services we offer or make available. You will have the right to opt-out of receiving or participating in our surveys at any time.
5.4 To manage and improve our websites. Information we use for this purpose may include (for example) that about your computer and, where available, your IP address, operating system and browser type.
We may also supplement the information that you provide with other information that we obtain from our dealings with you or which we receive from other organisations.
In addition, we reserve the right to perform statistical analysis of user behaviour and characteristics to measure interest in and use of the various areas of our website and to ascertain the number of users that have visited particular web pages. We also keep track of what you do with our newsletters when you receive them for trends and statistics and to evaluate the efficiency of our newsletter and information service. For example, whether you open, delete, or access links contained in the newsletter.
We will only share your data with third parties for the purposes of delivering our services, fulfilling any contracts we enter with you, where required by law or to enforce our legal rights.
Krehalon B.V. will not disclose your details to third parties for the purpose of receiving communications from those third parties, including relevant business information, unless you specifically opt-in to this type of communication.
Only when necessary to deliver our services and run our business, we share your information with various providers who will act as data processors. These may include:
Krehalon B.V. will only disclose your information to print and fulfilment companies who are conducting business on Krehalon’s behalf and only for an agreed purpose, such as marketing mailings. Data is securely encrypted and, once the purpose for which it was transferred is complete, it is deleted.
Krehalon B.V. will share your information when required to do so in order to comply with a common law or statutory obligation. For example, this may include:
If we or substantially all of our assets are acquired by a third party, in this case personal data held by us about customers will be one of the transferred assets.
We will only transfer information outside de EEA within the Kureha corporation of allied companies.
We will keep hold of your data for no longer than necessary. The length of time we retain it will depend on any legal obligations we have (such as tax recording purposes), the nature of any contracts we have in place with you, the existence of your consent or our legitimate interests as a business.
When you purchase from us, we retain that information for a period of up to seven years following the end of the financial year during which you purchased from us. It is our legal obligation to keep these records for tax purposes.
Unless you provide consent for future contact during your enquiry, we will keep your information for as long as required to respond and complete your enquiry, and for a further 12 months, before deleting your information.
When you subscribe to our newsletter, we will retain your data until such time that you remove your consent. In these instances, retaining and processing of your data is performed on the basis of your consent.
Details on your interactions with Krehalon B.V. may be used to review the relevance and quality of the products and services we offer. However, we do not undertake any automated profiling or automated decision-making processes.
Subject to certain limitations, you have the right to:
9.1 Request a copy of the information we hold about you and be told about its use.
9.2 Request that Krehalon B.V. rectifies, deletes or restricts processing of your information if you have concerns over its accuracy, deletion or fair and lawful use.
9.3 Object to the processing of your personal data, based on your particular situation, where this processing is based on the legitimate interests of Krehalon B.V., where it involves direct marketing, or where it is completed for research or statistical purposes.
9.4 Withdraw consent to the use of your information. All of our non-operational communications contain an unsubscribe link and you can withdraw consent at any time.
9.5 Receive your personal data in a portable, commonly used, machine-readable format to transfer to another data controller. However, in some circumstances we may be unable to provide you with some or all of your personal data, for example, if it compromises the confidentiality of a third party.
Krehalon B.V. will action on your request regarding any of the above listed rights without undue delay and at least within a month of the request. Given the complexity of the request, Krehalon B.V. retains the right to extend this timeframe under the condition that you, as the data subject, are notified of the new timeframe within a month.
Under the General Data Protection Regulation, Krehalon B.V. retains the right to charge a ‘reasonable’ fee to cover administrative costs of processing any of the above requests from the data subject should the request be considered manifestly unfounded or excessive. Krehalon B.V. can also refuse to honour the request as long as it is explained why, and data subject is informed of their right to complain to a supervisory authority and to receive a judicial remedy.
