Privacy Policy

We at WUA B.V are fully committed to protecting your privacy. We are aware that you are confiding in us and believe it is our responsibility to duly protect your privacy. The Privacy Policy below applies to both our website (www.wuaglobal.com and other related websites like www.wua.nl ) and our subscription service (-i.e. newsletters and filling out forms). Furthermore, this Privacy Policy governs our data collection and usage practices. It also addresses your particular choices regarding use, access, deletion and correction of your personal information. By using the Website or any Subscription Service, you are consenting to the data practices described hereby in this policy. If you do not agree with the data practices described in this Privacy Policy, this website should not be used nor any of the Subscription Services. WUA B.V does not process your personal data (-i.e. WUA collects data, referred to as “data controller” but does not process this data, referred to as “data processor”) obtained via the site and otherwise is in accordance to the relevant supervisory body according to the Dutch Data Protection Act, the Dutch Telecommunications Act and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Types of Information:
“Personal Information/ Data” is any information that can lead to the direct or indirect identification of a natural person. It does not include personal information that is encoded, anonymized or pseudonymized, or publicly available information that has not been combined with non-public information. Email addresses are considered personal information as well as: location date, identifier name or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of a natural person.
“Sensitive Personal Information/ Data” is information that meets the criteria for “personal information”, but further reveals A) race, ethnic origins, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs or B) concerns health or sex life and criminal proceedings (to name a few examples). WUA B.V does not collect any sensitive personal information.

How we Collect Information:
We collect information in two ways: information that you provide to us directly or information that we get from your use of our Services (and website).
Information you provide to us directly: Visitors to our services can choose to interact in ways that may require them to provide us with personal identifying information (-i.e. Email addresses). The amount and type of information that is provided depends on the nature of the interaction. To give a brief example: when visitors wish to download reports from our website, we ask visitors to provide a name, last name, work email address, organization, and phone number. In this case, we only collect as much information as is necessary or appropriate given the interaction the visitor chooses to have with our services. Visitors can always refuse to supply personally identifying information with the caveat that it can prevent the visitor from performing certain interactions on the website.
Information we get from your use of the Services: This information is primarily non personally identifying information of the type that web browsers and services like Google Analytics typically make available (-i.e. language , browser type, referring site, duration of visit, to name a few). Other non-identifying information that we might have access to include how you make use of our website, cookies, your approximate location, etc. This non personally identifying information is collected in order to better understand how visitors make use of our Services and how we can continually improve visitors’ experience.

Who has Access to your Data?
To begin with, WUA B.V does not sell, trade, or rent personal data to third parties for marketing purposes. In order to render our services, there is data that we will need to share with third-party service providers -i.e. “Data processors.” These third parties act as Data Processors within the meaning of the relevant privacy legislation. By means of Data Processing Agreements, our Data Processors do not process the data for any other purpose than to render the services of a customer-relationship management.

If you fill out a form on the website to download a document, your work email address (along with the first name, last name and organization you provide) are processed by the CRM and CDP in place. For more information on the privacy policy of said data processor, please refer to the links below:
