Privacy notice

AQwaTech BV is committed to the protection of personal data according to the rules elaborated in the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) or – in Dutch – the AVG (General Data Protection Regulation) according to the European Regulation 2016/679 applicable as of May 25, 2018 and the other applicable legislation regarding the protection of personal data.

We take good care of your personal data

This Privacy Policy applies to personal data that AQwaTech processes from the following categories: customers, suppliers, (website) visitors, prospects.

Processing includes collecting, recording, organizing, structuring, storing, updating, modifying, retrieving, consulting, using, transmitting, disseminating or otherwise making available, combining, shielding, erasing or destroying.

We process your personal data in a deliberate manner

Your personal data will only be processed when done lawfully. On the one hand, this can be done after your consent. You always have the right to withdraw this consent.

On the other hand, this can only be done when it is necessary because of one of the following reasons:

  1. Perform contract
  2. Legal provision
  3. Vital importance
  4. General interest
  5. Legitimate interest

For each purpose, AQwaTech indicates which basis (lawfulness) applies.

Purpose and legality

AQwaTech will only process necessary personal data for the following purposes:

  • Customer management, e.g. managing a customer relationship, preparing quotes and executing one or more agreements (e.g. an order, …), accounting processing, … (contractual necessity) (legitimate interest) (legal obligation).

The following data are maintained by us (non-exhaustive):

  • personal identification data: name, first name, phone number, cell phone number, e-mail address, billing address, delivery address. This data is provided to us directly by you, or indirectly through the distributor.
  • financial identification data: VAT number (where applicable), financial data: bank account number (for bank transfer only), payment status.
  • For professional clients: function of the contact person.
  • Supplier management, e.g. managing a supplier relationship, processing offers and executing one or more agreements, accounting processing, … (contractual necessity) (legitimate interest, i.e. the freedom of doing business) (legal obligation) (consent).

The following data are maintained by us (non-exhaustive):

  • personal identification data: surname, first name, address, e-mail address, position of contact person, phone number and/or cell phone number.
  • financial identification data: VAT number, financial data.
  • Compliance with legal obligations on our behalf, e.g. tax and social law obligations (legal obligation): all data necessary to fulfill that legal obligation
  • Dispute management (legitimate interest, i.e. the safeguarding of financial interests)
  • Direct marketing, e.g. mailing to customers and prospects (legitimate interest, i.e. freedom of enterprise) (consent). You always have the right to object. This can be done by unsubscribing or contacting us.
  • As part of our building security, cameras have been installed on the AQwaTech property. Surveillance images are kept for a maximum of 1 month unless they are needed longer as evidence (crime, damage, identification of an offender/witness/victim).
  • AQwaTech does not process special categories of data as stipulated in Article 9 of the GDPR/AVG nor of children < 16 years of age.

If the basis is contractual necessity or legal obligation, the personal data must be provided to enable the performance of the agreement or to comply with a legal obligation. In the absence of providing the required data, the relationship cannot continue.

It goes without saying that AQwaTech secures all data appropriately. As a result, we have taken the necessary technical and organizational measures: AQwaTech provides the necessary physical protections, regular updates of hardware and software, conclusive password management, secure Internet connections and uses anti-virus software to accomplish this.

Retention period

Personal data will be kept for the period of time defined below:

  • Customer management: 10 years after the end of the contractual relationship
  • Supplier management: 10 years after the end of the contractual relationship
  • Compliance with legal obligations on our behalf: legal retention period
  • Dispute management: during the period necessary to settle the dispute definitively
  • Direct marketing: 5 years after the last meaningful contact with the data subject.

Personal data security

Personal data processed by AQwaTech will not be disclosed to third parties, except for the recipients described above. This third party must process the personal data supplied to it in accordance with GDPR legislation (e.g. adequately secure this data, …).

AQwaTech would also like to make you aware that no system can be 100% safe. Moreover, information security also depends on you. You should also properly secure your own information systems and keep any account information confidential.

Export of personal data

Personal data processed by AQwaTech is not exported to countries outside the European Economic Area.
