WHAT PERSONAL DATA DO WE COLLECT, PROCESS AND STORE?

Collection

When you visit our website, we process personal data relating to you and you consent to the collection and use of your personal data as set out in this Privacy Notice.

We distinguish between different types of personal data, which we either collect through cookies on the website or obtain directly from the person concerned.

1. Traffic data: When you visit the QAdvice website, we will automatically collect the following general information. This information is not stored as personal data. The servers we use routinely store the following data:

The source from which you accessed our website

The pages you visit

Your IP address

The name of your IP organisation

The name of your browser software and language

The operating system of your device

This information is linked to an automatically generated user profile. We use this information to improve the presentation, content and functionality of our website and better understand the user experience.

2. General personal data: When you use QAdvice services through the website, we collect the personal data that you provide when you fill out a form or register through LinkedIn. We request your name, phone number, postcode and e-mail address. We can use this information to identify or contact you.

Processing

We process the personal data that you provide through the website solely to offer you good service. We use it to follow up on your application, inform you about our services and activities, and reply to possible requests.

Your personal data is stored within our organisation. The aforementioned personal data will be exclusively used to fulfil our obligations, or for another purpose on the strict condition that you have explicitly consented to it.

We can transfer your personal data to law enforcement agencies and related companies, such as sister companies or clients, for the same purposes as set out in this Privacy Notice and subject to your consent. We will ensure that they process your personal data securely and respectfully, just as we do.

We work with an external processing company, ClickDimensions. This means that we temporarily transfer data for specific purposes. This processing company complies with the relevant data protection requirements under the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework.

Storage

We will store your personal data for as long as necessary to achieve the purpose for which we collect them. The storage period may thus vary depending on the purpose. In any event, your personal data is stored in accordance with the relevant legislation as well as the expiry periods that oblige us to retain your personal data for longer time periods.

SECURITY

At QAdvice, we value the security of your personal data. We take technical and organisational protection measures to prevent misuse, loss, unauthorised access or the undesired disclosure of your personal data (data breaches).

The QAdvice website uses a reliable SSL certificate to keep your personal data secure and prevent it from falling into the wrong hands. Our employees or employees of external processing companies have access to your personal data on a need-to-know basis only. They must adhere to strict confidentiality rules. We use a secure password policy for this. We also have specialised employees who are responsible for the security of our IT infrastructure. However, while we strive to use all acceptable and reasonable means to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

NO DIRECT MARKETING?

You always have the right to object to the use of your personal data for direct marketing purposes. You can use the contact details below for this.
