Special and/or sensitive personal data that we process

Our website and/or service has no intention of collecting data on website visitors who are under 16 years of age, unless they have permission from parents or guardians. However, we cannot verify whether a visitor is over 16 years of age. We therefore recommend that parents are involved in their children’s online activities in order to prevent data being collected on children without parental permission. If you are convinced that we have collected personal data on a minor without such consent, please contact us at sales@hofmantrading.com and we will delete this information.

For what purpose and on which basis do we process personal data?

Hofman Trading & Service processes your personal data for the following purposes:

  • Processing your payment
  • So we can call you or send you an email if this is necessary for us to be able to carry out our services
  • To deliver goods and services to you
  • Hofman Trading & Service also processes personal data if we are legally obliged to do so, such as data we need for our tax return.

How long do we retain personal data?

Your data will be kept by Hofman Trading & Service B.V. for a certain period of time, but never longer than necessary for the execution of activities, unless we are obliged by law to keep your data longer. From the moment you contact Hofman Trading & Service B.V. by email, we collect the data you give us, like your name, company name and email address, and store them on our mail server.
