What we collect, and why

Contact form: your name, email and message, to reply to you. Trade area: your company name and number, your name, email, phone and order requests, to give you access to our trade prices and handle your requests. Legal basis: replying to your request and pre-contractual measures (art. 6.1.b GDPR).

VAT number check

Your number is checked with VIES, the official service of the European Commission. If it is valid, your access opens straight away; otherwise we check your request ourselves.

Who can see it

Initium³, and LocWeb, who runs the website on our behalf. The data is hosted by Supabase in the European Union. Nothing is sold or passed on to third parties.

How long

As long as your trade access is active, then 3 years after your last activity. Contact messages are kept for 3 years at most.

Cookies and storage

This website sets no advertising or analytics cookies. Your browser only keeps your trade area sign-in and your current request (local storage), which the service needs. Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts, which receives your device’s IP address when doing so.

Your rights

You can ask to access, correct, erase, restrict or port your data, and object to its processing, through the form on the Contact page. You can also lodge a complaint with the Belgian Data Protection Authority (dataprotectionauthority.be).
