Privacy Policy

PRIVACY

We prioritize keeping your information private. When you order with us, we may need to share information with third parties. Your data is handled with utmost care to ensure your privacy.

In our processing, we adhere to the requirements set by privacy legislation. Among other things, this means that we clearly state the purposes for which we process personal data.

We do this through this privacy statement;

• We limit our collection of personal data to only the personal data needed for legitimate purposes;
• We first seek explicit consent to process your personal data in cases where your consent is required;
• We take appropriate security measures to protect your personal data and require the same from parties processing personal data on our behalf;
• We respect your right to access, download, correct or delete your personal data at your request.
• We are responsible for data processing. In this privacy statement, We explain which personal data We collect and use and for what purpose. We recommend that you read it carefully.

 

This privacy statement was last amended on 05-05-2023.

What are the legal grounds for using your data:

Under privacy laws, we have to say what 'legal grounds' we have for using your data. We need data from you because of contractual agreements between you and Alpha96 BV, such as your purchase of a product or your right to a warranty. This is the case with:

Orders

Delivery

Return, exchange & repair

Contact with our customer service

In addition, we may use your data in case of 'legitimate interest'. This means that we want to provide all our customers with the best and most personal service possible. In doing so, we always consider your privacy. This applies to:

Reviews & customer satisfaction surveys

Contact with our customer service

Visiting our shops and website

Account

Newsletter & e-mail

Personal advice

Actions

Social media

Security & cameras

We may also have a legal obligation to use your data, for example when we suspect fraud. And sometimes you yourself have given us permission to use your data, such as when you sign up for the newsletter. We keep track of this, of course, and you also have the option to unsubscribe in each e-mail.

Reviews

We collect reviews through WebwinkelKeur's platform. If you leave a review via WebwinkelKeur, you are required to provide your name and e-mail address. WebwinkelKeur shares this information with us so that we can link the review to your order. WebwinkelKeur also publishes your name on its own website. In some cases, WebwinkelKeur may contact you to comment on your review. In case we invite you to leave a review, we share your name and e-mail address with WebwinkelKeur. They only use this data for the purpose of inviting you to leave a review. WebwinkelKeur has taken appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data. WebwinkelKeur reserves the right to use third parties for the provision of services, for which we have given WebwinkelKeur permission. All of the above guarantees regarding the protection of your personal data also apply to those parts of the service for which WebwinkelKeur engages third parties.

Who has access to your data:

We only pass on your data to other parties if this is really necessary for our services. These parties are: delivery partners, suppliers or repairers, product support, payment partners, IT service providers and parties that collect our reviews. Our delivery partners naturally need your data to deliver your order to the correct address. Parties such as data management platforms, media and advertising agencies and research agencies come into the picture as soon as we want to give you personal advice or show you targeted ads, e.g. based on your interest in certain products. In suspicious situations, we are obliged to share customer data with government agencies.

The parties that receive access to your data from us may only use it to provide you with a service on our behalf (Alpha96 B.V.). Unless they themselves are responsible for obtaining and protecting your data. Some cookie developers have access to the data collected by cookies on our website. You can read more about this in our cookie policy and the privacy policies of these parties. We never sell your data to third parties.

Where your data is stored:

We store your data in various databases. We always apply strict security measures. Therefore, your data is almost always stored within the European Union. In the exceptional case that customer data is transferred to countries outside the European Union, we ensure that your privacy remains suitably protected. We work with official contracts specifically designed to safeguard your privacy.

How long will your data be kept:

We do not keep and use your data for longer than necessary. Then we delete all the data we have on you. Or we use your data anonymously, because we need certain data for internal analyses and reports, such as the value of your order.

Below are the retention periods

We delete recorded telephone calls after 28 days unless we have a legal obligation to keep a call longer.

We do not store camera images of our shops for longer than 28 days. Unless we see something suspicious that we need to investigate further or the footage needs to be kept longer because of another legal obligation.

We store order data, including name, address, postal code, place of residence, telephone number, products ordered, invoice and payment data, without limitation, because we use these data for analysis and handling of e.g. warranty. Of course you always have the right to change or view this information or have it removed/anonymised.

If you have your product repaired or replaced by Alpha96 B.V., we will keep your warranty request and contact details. After that we will only use your details anonymously, for internal reports.

If you have signed up for the newsletter or given permission to receive personalised messages, we will keep this permission. Even if you decide at some point that you no longer want to receive the newsletter or personalised messages, we keep the withdrawal of your request. There is an unsubscribe link in every newsletter.

Data we use to prevent fraud we keep indefinitely.

What rights do you have:

Of course, you remain in charge of your data. Would you like to inspect your personal data and receive a copy? Or would you like to modify your data, delete it, restrict its use or change your e-mail preferences? No problem. You can do this yourself in your Pylos59 account. Or you can let us know by post or e-mail. In this way, you can also object to the use of your data for marketing purposes or indicate that you think your privacy outweighs our interests. In that case, we will review the situation.

Unsubscribing to the newsletter is a snap. You can do so via the link in the newsletter itself. And you don't want any more cookies at all? You can do that too. Read our cookie policy on how to do so.

Please note that we may request additional data from you when making a request, as we do want to be sure that you are the one submitting a request to us.
