Data Privacy Declaration

Thank you for your interest in MontiPower. This privacy statement explains how we process your personal data, the purposes for which it is processed, and your data protection rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR — in Dutch: AVG) and the Dutch GDPR Implementation Act (Uitvoeringswet AVG, UAVG).

In general, you can use our website without providing any personal information. If you use specific services through the website, or if we need to begin or carry out a business relationship with you, it may be necessary for us to process your personal information — in which case, where there is no other legal basis, we will obtain your consent.

The controller (verwerkingsverantwoordelijke) within the meaning of the GDPR is:

MONTI Surface Tech Group B.V., part of the MontiPower® group (owned by MontiPower Industries B.V.)
Strawinskylaan 1577, 1077 XX Amsterdam, the Netherlands · KVK 95233504
E-mail: info@montipower.com · Website: www.montipower.com

The person responsible for data protection is Frits Doddema. You can reach our data protection contact at datenschutz@montipower.com.

This privacy statement and all processing of personal data described in it are governed by the laws of the Netherlands and by the GDPR.

Server log files

Each time this website is accessed, our servers collect general data such as browser type and version, operating system, referring website, pages accessed, date and time of access, IP address, and internet service provider. This data is used to correctly deliver and optimize our website, ensure the security and functionality of our systems, and, if necessary, support criminal prosecution in the event of a cyber-attack. It is not used to identify individual visitors and is stored separately from any personal data you provide to us.

Collection, processing and use of personal data in a business relationship

We only collect and process the personal data needed to handle or initiate a business relationship — for example, to conclude a contract or respond to an inquiry. Data is processed under Art. 6(1)(b) and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, used only for the purpose it was collected for, and stored no longer than legally required.

Your data is not disclosed to third parties without your express consent, other than service partners we rely on to fulfil the contract or process orders (for example, shipping providers, payment providers, and IT/hosting service providers). All such partners are bound by data processing agreements. No data is transferred to countries outside the EU/EEA without appropriate safeguards.

Contact form and e-mail

If you contact us by e-mail or through a contact form, the personal data you provide is automatically saved and used only to process your inquiry or get in touch with you. This data is not transmitted to third parties.

Application process

If you apply to join MontiPower, the data you provide is processed solely to decide whether to establish an employment or apprenticeship relationship, on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR and the Dutch GDPR Implementation Act (UAVG). Only the people involved in the selection process have access to it, and it is not shared with third parties or used for automated decision-making. If we do not proceed with your application, your documents are deleted no later than six months after the process ends, unless you've consented to longer retention or we have a legitimate reason to keep them (for example, in connection with equal-treatment law obligations).

Cookies

Our website uses cookies — small text files stored by your browser — to keep the site functional and to make it more useful, for example by remembering items in a shopping cart or keeping you signed in. Depending on which optional features and integrations are active, we may also use analytics or marketing cookies to understand how the site is used and to improve it; where required, we ask for your consent before these are set. See our Cookie Policy for details on the categories of cookies we use and how to manage your preferences. You can also block or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings, though this may affect some site functionality.

Storage duration and your rights

We store personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose it was collected for, or as required by statutory retention periods. Once that need ends, the data is routinely deleted or blocked.

You have the right, free of charge, to request information about the data we hold on you, and to have it corrected, restricted, deleted, or provided in a portable format, unless other legal requirements apply. Where processing is based on our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), you may object to or withdraw consent for that processing at any time, with effect for the future. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens, www.autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl).

Legal bases for processing

We rely on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR where we have obtained your consent; Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where processing is necessary to perform a contract or take pre-contractual steps at your request; Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR where we are subject to a legal obligation (such as tax law); Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR where processing is necessary to protect someone's vital interests; and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR where processing serves a legitimate interest of ours or a third party that does not override your rights and freedoms. These provisions apply as further implemented in the Netherlands by the Dutch GDPR Implementation Act (UAVG).

Third-party services

Where our website integrates third-party services — for example, video hosting, maps, or analytics and advertising tools — those providers may process technical data (such as your IP address) in accordance with their own privacy policies. We select these integrations carefully and limit their use to what's needed for the relevant feature. If you have questions about a specific integration active on the site, contact us using the details below.

Automated decision-making

We do not use automated decision-making or profiling within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR.
