Why do we collect personal data and on what grounds?
The personal data we collect about you are primarily processed for the performance of a contract with you or the company you represent. This applies for example to billing information, contact details so that we can contact you and send you invoices, and information on the transportation requested, including information on the point of delivery.
If you fail to provide the necessary information we may not be able to enter into a contract with you, or with the company you represent regarding the service you wish us to provide and/or we may be unable to fulfill our obligations according to our contract.
We may process your personal data on the grounds of our legitimate interests, e.g. communication- and business history as well as information on your interests which we may use to strengthen our business relationship.
