Persons to whom this privacy notice applies
This privacy statement describes the processing of personal data of all persons visiting the website of X-OATS BV.
Definitions
Personal data: A personal data is any information that can be traced back to an identified or identifiable natural person. These are obviously obvious data such as your name, address, gender,… but also things like your job preferences, courses taken and consumption behaviour.
Processing of personal data: A processing is any operation carried out with personal data. This includes the collection, recording, organisation, retention, updating, modification, retrieval, consultation, use, transmission, dissemination, making available, alignment, blocking, erasure and destruction of data.
Legal grounds
The law provides for certain scenarios in which it is permissible for a party to process personal data. We process your data in cases where:
– We need the data to fulfil our obligations to you. These may be the services we offer you or the obligations arising from the employment or cooperation agreement we enter into with you or your employer
– We need the data to comply with legal obligations such as correctly declaring and paying taxes and duties
– We as an organisation have justifiable interests in processing your personal data without compromising your own interests, rights or obligations
– We have obtained your explicit and unambiguous consent to carry out certain processing operations
What personal data do we process
When you visit our website, we process the following personal data about you but anonymise your IP address in the process so that we can never link it back to you:
– IP address (immediately anonymised by replacing the last numbers with zeros)
– Personal details such as your date of birth and gender
– Your approximate geographical location (approximate) at the time you visit our website
– Specifications of your computer or mobile device (type, operating system, browser, language,…)

We use the following types of cookies:
– Necessary cookies: this type of cookie improves the user experience by storing certain things such as your language preference and login details (if you use the latter) and ensures that the website can function correctly.
– Performance cookies: through these cookies, we collect aggregated data about the use of our website such as the links that are clicked and how long people stay on a particular page. This data allows us to improve our website and optimise the user experience.
– Marketing cookies: these are cookies that collect and share your click and browsing behaviour on our website with our advertising network for the purpose of more targeted advertising.
We regard necessary and performance cookies as essential for our website to function and maintain correctly and cannot refuse your relevant cookies. Before using marketing cookies, we will first explicitly seek your consent. You can withdraw these at any time.
What we use your personal data for
We use your personal data to ensure the correct operation of our website, on the one hand, and to make your browsing experience as pleasant and smooth as possible, on the other.
We also use your (anonymised) personal data to compile statistics and perform analyses on them. This with the aim of detecting certain trends and tendencies in order to optimise our website and better tailor it to our target audience.
For example: If we notice that a particular page on our website is little or not visited, we know that it is difficult for our visitors to find or that visitors have little/no interest in it.
We also use information about your browsing behaviour on our website to optimise our marketing campaigns and target groups in a more targeted way.
Under no circumstances will your data be used for purposes around profiling or automatic decision-making.
Who has access to your personal data
To process the data below, we use the Google Analytics tool:
– Specifications of your computer or mobile device (type, operating system, browser, language,…)
– How you got to our website (through which link)
– Your behaviour on the website (length of your visit, which pages you view,…)
In doing so, appropriate precautions are taken so that neither we nor Google can link this data to you.
To capture your browsing and clicking behaviour, we use the software Hotjar. We share the captured data with Facebook and LinkedIn to show you relevant ads on those pages. We will never do this without your consent and you can refuse such processing at any time.
We never sell the personal data we have collected to third parties or share it with parties outside the European Union.
How long personal data is kept with us
You can disable or delete all installed cookies from your computer or mobile end device at any time via your browser settings (usually under “Help” or “Internet options”).

– Specificaties van je computer of mobiele apparaat (type, besturingssysteem, browser, taal,…)
– How you got to our website (through which link)
– Your behaviour on the website (length of your visit, which pages you view,…)
This data is immediately anonymised upon receipt and therefore cannot be traced directly back to you.
