We have not appointed a Data Protection Officer. We are not required to have one, and you can reach us directly at the address above with any question about your data.
What this statement covers
This statement explains what we do with personal data on www.ad-terram.nl, including the Treatment Configurator.
We collect very little, and only when you give it to us. In short:
- We do not sell a product online, we do not run customer accounts, and you cannot register on our website.
- We do not record your IP address or your location when you use the Treatment Configurator.
- We only ask for a phone number if you tell us you would rather be called than emailed.
- Asking an Ad Terram specialist to contact you is optional. You receive your treatment setup either way, and it is not a subscription to anything.
The sections below go through each thing we do, one at a time: what we collect, why, on what legal basis, and how long we keep it.
Treatment Configurator: sending you your setup
The Treatment Configurator asks about your crop and how you treat it, and returns the Ad Terram treatments that fit. You can go through the whole questionnaire and read the result without giving us anything about yourself.
When you ask us to email you the setup, we use:
- your email address;
- the treatment setup you built: your crop, the areas you treat, the application methods, what you want the treatment to do, and the treatments you kept or removed.
Why. To send you the link to your setup, and so that a specialist can pick the conversation up from what you described rather than starting again.
Legal basis. Taking steps at your request before entering into a contract (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR). You asked us to send you something, so we send it.
The link. Your setup lives at a web address containing a long, unguessable code. Anyone who has that link can open the setup, so treat it as you would any link you would not post publicly. It does not contain your email address or your contact details.
What we do not collect. The configurator does not record your IP address, your browser details or your location. While you are working through it, your answers are held in your own browser so that a refresh does not lose them; they are cleared when you close the tab, and your email address and phone number are never kept there.
Treatment Configurator: asking a specialist to contact you
When you ask for your setup by email, you can also tick a box asking an Ad Terram specialist to get in touch. This is optional. It is unticked until you tick it, and you receive your treatment setup whether or not you do.
If you tick it, we also use:
- the country you are based in, so your request reaches the right person;
- whether you prefer email or telephone;
- your telephone number, but only if you choose to be called.
Why. To answer the question you asked, and to put it in front of the representative who covers your market.
Legal basis. Taking steps at your request before entering into a contract (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR). You asked to be contacted.
What happens next. We send your request, together with the treatment setup you built, to the Ad Terram representative for your country and to our head office in Andijk. The page shows you who that representative is before you send it. If no representative covers your country, it goes to our global sales contact. If you did not tell us a country, it goes to head office, who will place it.
This is not marketing consent. Asking a specialist to contact you about your setup does not sign you up to a newsletter or a mailing list, and we do not treat it as permission to send you offers.
Contact form and correspondence
Our contact page lets you send us a message. We use your name, email address, company, country and whatever you write in the message, so that we can answer you and route the message to the right person.
Legal basis. Taking steps at your request before entering into a contract, or our legitimate interest in answering people who approach us (Article 6(1)(b) or (f) GDPR).
The same applies to email and telephone: if you write to us or call us, we keep the correspondence for as long as we need it to deal with the matter and to keep a record of what was agreed.
Who receives your personal data
Ad Terram representatives. If you ask for a specialist to contact you, your request and your treatment setup go to the Ad Terram representative for your country, and to our head office. Representatives work for the Ad Terram companies and partners listed on our contact page, including in Germany, France, Poland, Hungary and Canada. They use your details only to answer your request.
Our suppliers. A small number of suppliers process data on our behalf, under contract, and may not use it for their own purposes:
| Supplier | What they do |
|---|---|
| Our hosting provider | Runs the website and its database |
| Our outgoing email provider | Delivers the email we send you |
| Google Ireland Limited | Website statistics (Google Analytics) and spam protection (reCAPTCHA) |
Nobody else. We do not sell your personal data, and we do not share it for anyone else’s advertising. We will disclose data if the law requires it — for example on a valid order from the authorities.
Our website also loads country flag images from flagcdn.com. Your IP address reaches that service when those images load, in the same way it would for any image hosted elsewhere.
Transfers outside the European Economic Area
Most of what we do stays inside the EEA. Our website and its database are hosted in the Netherlands, and our representatives for Germany, France, Poland, Hungary and the Netherlands receive your request at mailboxes in those countries.
There are two exceptions:
- Canada. If you tell us you are based in Canada, your request goes to our Canadian representative. The European Commission has decided that Canada offers an adequate level of protection for data handled by commercial organisations, so no additional safeguards are required.
- Google. Google Analytics and reCAPTCHA are provided by Google Ireland Limited, which may involve transfers to the United States. Google is covered by the EU–US Data Privacy Framework, under which the Commission has decided the United States offers an adequate level of protection.
If you are based in the United States or South Africa, your request is handled by a colleague whose mailbox is in the Netherlands, so your data does not leave the EEA.
Cookies, statistics and similar technologies
Necessary cookies and storage. Some storage is needed for the website to work at all — for example to remember your language, and to hold your answers while you are working through the Treatment Configurator so that a refresh does not lose them. These are not used to track you and are not shared.
Statistics. We use Google Analytics to understand how our website is used, so that we can improve it. This is placed only if you agree to it when you first visit; you can change your mind at any time through the cookie settings on our website. If you do not agree, no analytics cookies are set.
Spam protection. Our forms use Google reCAPTCHA to tell people apart from automated scripts. Without it the forms would be filled by bots within days. reCAPTCHA examines how the page is used and may set cookies; we rely on our legitimate interest in keeping our forms usable.
Turning cookies off. You can block or delete cookies in your browser. If you block the necessary ones, parts of the website — including the Treatment Configurator — will stop working properly.
How long we keep your data
| What | How long |
|---|---|
| Treatment setup requested by email (your address and your configuration) | 24 months from your request |
| Specialist follow-up request (country, contact preference, telephone number) | 24 months from your request |
| Your setup page, at its unguessable link | 24 months, after which the link stops working |
| Contact form messages and correspondence | Until the matter is dealt with, and up to 24 months afterwards |
| Invoices and anything else with tax relevance | 7 years, as Dutch tax law requires |
| Website statistics | 14 months |
If your enquiry turns into a customer relationship, we keep what we need for that relationship and for as long as the law requires. You can ask us to delete your data sooner — see Your rights below.
How we protect your data
Our website runs over an encrypted connection (HTTPS). Access to the system that holds enquiries is limited to the people who need it and is protected by individual accounts. We collect as little as we can: no IP addresses, no location, no tracking of what you do inside the Treatment Configurator.
One thing worth saying plainly: when you ask for a specialist to contact you, your request reaches them by ordinary email. Email between organisations is not an encrypted channel end to end. Please do not put anything confidential in the message field that you would not put in a normal email.
Your rights
You have the following rights over the personal data we hold about you:
- Access — an explanation of what we hold and what we do with it, and a copy of it.
- Rectification — to have anything inaccurate corrected.
- Erasure — to have your data deleted, where we have no reason to keep it.
- Restriction — to have us pause what we do with your data while something is being sorted out.
- Portability — to receive the data you gave us in a common, machine-readable format, or have us send it to another organisation.
- Objection — to object to processing we base on our legitimate interest, including our use of reCAPTCHA.
- Withdrawal — to withdraw your agreement to statistics cookies at any time, which does not affect what happened before you withdrew it.
Write to info@ad-terram.nl and we will answer within one month. So that we do not hand someone else’s data to the wrong person, or delete the wrong person’s data, we may ask you to confirm who you are — writing from the address you gave us is usually enough.
Exercising these rights is free. We will only charge, or refuse, if a request is clearly unfounded or excessive, and we will explain why.
Complaints
If you think we are not handling your data properly, please tell us first — info@ad-terram.nl — and we will try to put it right.
You also have the right to complain to the Dutch data protection authority, the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens, at autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl. If you live or work in another EU country, you may complain to the supervisory authority there instead.
Changes to this statement
We will update this statement when what we do changes. The date at the top tells you which version you are reading. If a change matters to you, we will do our best to point it out rather than quietly republish.
