Responsibility

Throughout this statement, "CRM" should be read as CRM Trucks and Trailers BV, including its associated companies and subsidiaries. The unit of CRM responsible for your personal information (and the controller within the meaning of data protection law) is that part of CRM Trucks and Trailers BV. that initially collects information from or about you.

The GDPR aims to ensure that companies handle personal data more transparently, more securely, more specifically and in a more limited way. That is why this privacy policy is a wonderful opportunity to tell you how we handle data and to state your rights with regard to the processing of personal data.

Purpose and legal basis

CRM processes personal data in a way that guarantees a high level of protection. There is a purpose and a legal basis for every processing of data. Because we want to make sure your data is safe with us, we only keep data that improves your experience with CRM. In this way we want to ensure that you can make optimal use of our products and services. In the majority of all cases, the processing of data will be based on the following legal bases:

• Processing is necessary for the performance of an agreement to which you are a party, or to take steps (at your request) to enter into an agreement (for example, when you ask us for a quote for a truck)

• The processing is necessary for us to comply with a relevant legal obligation (for example, where we need to collect certain information about our customers for tax or administrative purposes)

• De verwerking is in ons gerechtvaardigde commerciële belang, met inachtneming van uw belangen en fundamentele rechten (bijvoorbeeld waar we door onze klanten verstrekte persoonlijke informatie gebruiken om onze diensten te verlenen en die verwerking niet nodig is met betrekking tot een overeenkomst waarbij u partij bent). 

Retention period

How long we keep your personal information depends on the purpose for which it was obtained and the nature of the information. We will retain your personal information for the period necessary to achieve the purposes, unless a longer retention period is permitted by law. For example, we must keep financial data for 7 years.

Data security

We take appropriate measures to prevent unauthorized access and unwanted changes to your data. In this way we ensure that only the necessary persons have access to the data, that access to the data is secured and that security measures are taken.
