Article 3 – Purposes of the processing
General purposes
R-Box will use your personal data for the following general purposes:
To be able to offer the service you have requested
We collect certain personal data from you in order to be able to offer the service you have requested (e.g. your delivery address in the context of a delivery, your invoicing data in order to be able to invoice you correctly, etc.).
To comply with legal obligations
In certain cases, we are legally obliged to collect or store certain personal data about you. For example, we are legally obliged to issue and store an invoice in certain circumstances (e.g. in the case of a distance sale). Consequently, we will request your billing data.
In addition, in rare cases it may happen that R-Box must disclose your personal data as a result of a court order or to comply with other mandatory laws or regulations. R-Box will always try to inform you of this, unless this is not possible due to legal obligations.
To detect and combat fraud and infringements
We carry out various checks to detect and combat fraud and infringements. This way we can check whether a payment has been accepted before we deliver the product to the customer.
To improve our services and processes
We evaluate our services and processes on the basis of your contacts with our employees. With a view to improving our services and processes, we also carry out trend analyses using pseudonymised and aggregated data.
Direct marketing purposes
If you have given your consent, we may use your data for direct marketing purposes. You can withdraw this consent at any time, without justification and free of charge, for example by clicking on the unsubscribe link provided for this purpose, at the bottom of each promotional e-mail message or by contacting R-Box by post (R-Box vzw, Bosakker 47, 2440 Geel, Belgium).
Article 4 – Transfer to third parties
R-Box will not sell your personal data, nor rent, distribute or otherwise make commercially available to third parties, except as described above or with your prior consent.
In the event of a complete or partial reorganisation or transfer of activities of R-Box, this may mean that your data will be transferred to new entities or third parties through which R-Box’s business activities are carried out in whole or in part. We will try to inform you of this in advance.
Article 5 – Duration of the processing
We do not store your personal data for longer than is necessary to achieve the purpose for which we collect it. Depending on the purpose, the retention period may be different. For example, R-Box is legally obliged to keep track of issued invoices for 7 years. In addition, we consider it legally necessary to retain certain data as evidence in the event of disputes and this for a maximum of 10 years.
Unless a longer retention period is required by law, we delete or anonymize your data 10 years after your last contact with R-Box.
