How do we use your personal data?

Below we explain why we process your personal data, the legal basis for doing so, and how long we retain your data for each purpose.

Performance of a contract

When you make a purchase through the Arli Group B.V. website, we require certain personal data to perform our agreement with you. We also use this information to process payments, handle returns, and provide warranty services.

Personal data included in our (financial) administration is retained for up to 7 years after the end of the relevant financial year, in accordance with our statutory tax retention obligations.

Reviews

We appreciate your participation in our customer satisfaction surveys. After making a purchase, you may receive an email from our review partner inviting you to rate your purchasing experience. We may also ask you to review the product you purchased. We send these invitations based on our legitimate interest in improving our services and measuring customer satisfaction.

Reviews are published on our website because you submitted them through one of our review partners and gave that partner permission to display them on our website. We retain these reviews until they are no longer relevant or until you request anonymisation through the review partner.

Contact

If you contact us with a question, return request, or complaint, we process your personal data in order to respond to your request. We are permitted to do so because you have requested our assistance.

We retain this information for up to 5 years after your last purchase or your most recent contact with us. Personal data included in our financial records is retained for 7 years after the end of the financial year, where this statutory retention period exceeds the aforementioned period.

Newsletter

We send our email newsletter up to six times per month, provided you have given us your consent to do so.

If you no longer wish to receive our newsletter, you can unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link included in every newsletter.

Job applications

We process your personal data in order to assess your application prior to potentially entering into an employment contract.

We retain your application data for up to 4 weeks after the position has been filled, unless you have given us permission to retain your data for a longer period for future vacancies. In that case, we retain your data for a maximum of 1 year after the end of the recruitment process.

You may withdraw your consent at any time by emailing us. We will then delete your data without delay.

Administration

We are legally required to retain personal data included in our financial administration.

These records are retained for 7 years, in accordance with Dutch tax legislation.

Cookies

To ensure that our website functions properly, we place strictly necessary cookies. Analytical and marketing cookies are only placed after you have given your consent through our cookie banner. You may withdraw your consent at any time via the cookie settings on our website or through your browser settings.

The retention periods for cookies can be found in our Cookie Policy.

In addition, Arli Group B.V. may use Google reCAPTCHA in its online forms. This tool helps verify that forms are completed by a human rather than an automated system.

Access to your personal data

Employees of Arli Group B.V. and third parties providing services on our behalf may have access to your personal data. These parties may include:

• IT service providers

• Marketing service providers, including review partners

• Accountants and bookkeepers

• Providers of cookies placed through our website

• Newsletter service providers

• Parcel delivery companies

• Recruitment and selection agencies

We may also provide your personal data to public authorities where we are legally required to do so, for example the Dutch Tax Authorities.

Your personal data may also be stored in external databases, for example for sending newsletters. We have entered into data processing agreements with all relevant service providers to ensure that your personal data is processed confidentially and securely.

Government authorities may request access to your personal data where required by law. In such cases, we are legally obliged to comply.

We may also use anonymised data for analytical purposes.

Some of the parties mentioned above are located outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Where personal data is transferred outside the EEA, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place. These may include the use of the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses or transfers to countries for which the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision.

Are you required to provide your personal data?

Certain personal data is required in order to place an order, process a return, or handle a question or complaint. Without this information, we cannot perform our agreement with you or process your request.

For job applications, certain information, such as your CV, is necessary in order to assess your application.

You are never obliged to provide personal data that we process solely on the basis of your consent, such as for receiving our newsletter.

Your rights

You remain in control of your personal data at all times. Any consent you have given may be withdrawn at any time.

You have the right to:

• Receive information about which personal data we process and for what purposes;

• Correct inaccurate personal data;

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected].

To protect your privacy, we may ask you to verify your identity before processing your request. Arli Group B.V. is entitled to establish the identity of the data subject before making any changes or deleting personal data.
