For example, we need your contact details for licenses or to have your orders delivered, your e-mail address to let you know that your order is being executed and your billing information to be able to invoice you.
- Legal obligation : in some cases we are required by law to process your data. This is the case, for example, when we have to send your invoices, which must include a mandatory VAT number.
- Legitimate interest : are you a customer, user or more generally in an existing trade relationship? Then we will send you targeted information and newsletters about our products based on our legitimate interest. Unless of course you unsubscribe.
- Consent : we can also process your data if we have express permission for this, for example when you subscribe to a newsletter or for certain (targeted) offers (direct marketing).

We protect your personal data by taking technical and organizational security measures such as:
- Technical security measures in the areas of access (login requirements, password policy, etc.), safekeeping (encryption, backup, etc.) and protection against outside access (firewall, antivirus software, etc.) of the media on which personal data can be stored
- Keeping a data register, complying with a data policy, imposing measures so that our employees treat the stored data confidentially.
- When we process your personal data based on legitimate interest (such as processing for prospecting purposes), we will perform a ” legitimate interest assessment ” to ensure that we have the required interest and that additional guarantees be provided and applied. In this way we guarantee a proportionate and balanced processing of your data in accordance with privacy legislation.
- Working with reliable partners / suppliers and enforcing safety guarantees with them
Despite the security measures that we take, it is important to know that data transfer via the internet is not without risk and that you must take the necessary precautions when you send data to us via the internet.
More information can be found in our Security Policy.
How long we retain your personal data?
Your data will be deleted in the following situations:
- Data saved to send your newsletters: if you do not show any interest for more than 48 months (e.g. do not click on any link in our emails for 48 months and also do not respond to our e-mail in which we announce that we stop e-mailing.
- The duration for which cookies are placed on your computer can be found in our Cookie Policy
- If you are (a contact person at) a prospect, we will not keep your personal data for longer than 24 months if we cannot reach you or (if faster) until you find that you are not interested in our products / services.
- If you apply to us, we will keep your personal data for 24 months. If you have given permission to be added to our recruitment reserve, we will extend this permission every 24 months or delete your data
- If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
In other cases, the data will not be stored for longer than required in accordance with our (legal obligations or, failing that, reasonably justified by the reasons for its processing and our legitimate needs arising from it. These retention periods do not limit your right to be forgotten, as guaranteed by privacy legislation.
After the aforementioned retention periods, we may store certain key data in “non-contact / non-process” lists to ensure that we do not contact you or otherwise process your data after you have indicated to us that you do not want us to contact you or further process your data.
Where do we process your personal data?
The data that you provide to us is stored and processed:
- On the servers and computers that we use within the European Union,
- On the systems of the specified third parties that process the data.
- We opt for processing within the European Union as much as possible, but some of these service providers process data outside the EU. In those cases we ensure that they offer an appropriate level of protection.
By transferring your data to us, you accept that we process it in the aforementioned ways.
You decide
You can choose not to share your personal data with us. If you choose this, you can continue to use our website, but you will not be able to use parts for which we need to know who you are.
We must be able to continue to process the personal data that we need to continue to provide our services as long as you use our services.
You can request that we do not use your data for marketing purposes. If you receive marketing communication from us, you can always unsubscribe (opt-out), for example by sending us an e-mail at info@ativo.io
What rights you have over your data?
You can exercise your rights by emailing to us at info@ativo.io
You are entitled (within the legal conditions) to access the data that we hold about you. This includes the right to request additional information regarding:
- The categories of your personal data that we process,
- The purposes for which we process your personal data,
- The categories of third parties to whom we transfer your personal data,
- The period during which we store your personal data or on the basis of which criteria this period is determined,
- The other rights that you can exercise with regard to your data.
We will provide you with this information within 30 days of your request, unless we thereby violate the rights or freedoms of others (e.g. Confidentiality, intellectual rights, etc.), in which case we will inform you accordingly.
You have the right to have personal data that we hold about you corrected. You can do this by emailing to us at info@ativo.io
You can prevent us from using your personal data to profile you or make automatic decisions. We can use your data to determine whether certain information or (targeted) offers can be useful.

You have the right to forget and therefore to be “forgotten” by us. This means that we delete all data for which we no longer have a reasonable interest in storing it further. For example, we may have an interest in storing your information if your customer is with us and we need that information to contact you.
You always have the right to make a complaint
If you believe that we do not handle your data correctly, we would like to hear what your concerns are so that we can investigate and, if necessary, correct them.
