Privacy Policy

This privacy and cookie statement was most recently revised on July 2 (2021).

Your privacy and the protection of your personal data is of great importance to Trengo B.V. (hereinafter: Trengo). During the processing of your personal data via our website (trengo.com) or our services, we work in accordance with the requirements for the processing of personal data laid down in the privacy legislation (General Data Protection Regulation). This means we:

• Clearly specify our purposes before we process personal data, by using this privacy and cookie statement.
• Limit our collection of personal data to only the personal data needed for legitimate purposes.
• First ask for explicit permission to process your personal data in cases where your permission is required.
• Take appropriate security measures to protect your personal data and we demand the same from parties who process personal data on our behalf.
• Respect your right to access, correct or delete your personal data held by us.

For what purposes do we use your personal data?
By using our online platform, we obtain various personal data from you. For each purpose is indicated what information we obtain from you, for what purpose we process this information and how long it will be stored. If you have any questions or want to know exactly what we store about you, please contact Trengo. Our contact details are mentioned below.

You have the possibility to create an account (14-day free trial) via our website, after which you could use our products and services (performance of contract). For this purpose, we could process the following personal data:

• Name 
• Company Name

Once you have created an account, you can decide to add a profile image to your profile. 

We store this information until you cancel your account, or for a maximum of 2 years after the last time you logged in to your account. We will then assume that you no longer wish to use our services. We store some personal data if we are legally obliged to do so (because of the tax retention obligation which is 7 years).  

Providing our services

• Address details
• Payment details
• Chamber of Commerce number
• VAT number
• Any other information required for providing our services

We store this information as long as we provide you with our services and for 2 years thereafter. We do this to improve our product and keep information about our customer relationship in case you have any questions. Certain types of personal data will be retained for a longer period with regards to the legal tax retention of 7 years. 

As long as we provide you with our services, we enable you to delete data (including but not limited to added channels, messages and contact details) in a manner that is consistent with the functionality of the Service. If you use the Service to delete any data in a manner that would prevent you from recovering the data at a future time, you agree that this will constitute an instruction to us to delete the data from our systems in accordance with our standard processes and applicable law. 

Contact
When you send us an email, chat message or Facebook message, fill out the contact form, or contact us in any other way, you accept our offer to get in touch with us (performance of contract). For this purpose, we could process the following personal data:

• Name 
• Email address  
• Any information you enter yourself as the content of a message

We store this information until we are sure that you are satisfied with our response and 1 year thereafter. This way we can easily access the information in case you have any following questions.  

Newsletter 
We have a newsletter to inform those interested in our services. Each newsletter contains a link with which you can unsubscribe from our newsletter. Your email address will be added to the list of subscribers only with your consent. We store this information until you cancel your subscription.

Handling job applications

Have you responded to one of our vacancies or submitted an open application?

For this purpose, we could process the following personal data: 

• Name

We will retain your application details for a maximum of 4 weeks after the position has been filled. We will retain this information so we can contact you in the event that the position becomes vacant again within the probationary period. We can retain your data for 2 years longer - with your consent - in case we might have an interesting vacancy in the near future.

If we end up hiring you, we will store your application data in your personnel file. This file will be stored for as long as necessary. 

Providing data to third parties
Trengo only shares your data with third parties when this is allowed by current legislation. It may happen that we provide your personal information to third parties, because:

• we have engaged them to process certain data; 
• it is necessary to carry out the agreement with you;
• you give permission for this; 
• we have a legitimate interest in this;
• we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. if the police demand this in case of a suspicion of a crime).

The parties that process personal data in our or your assignment:

• IT service providers or suppliers 
• CRM service providers 
• Administration service providers 
• Accountants
• Cookie service providers
• Payment service providers 
• Marketing companies
• External advisors  

In order to provide this service, Trengo may provide your personal data to parties established outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Trengo will only do this if there is an adequate level of protection for the processing of personal data. This means, for example, that we use a model agreement from the European Commission or make agreements about the handling of personal data. 

We are familiar with the judgment of the Court of Justice of the EU of 16 July 2020 with implications for the transfer of personal data outside the EEA. We are currently investigating this to find an appropriate solution. If we find a suitable solution, we will inform you about this via this privacy and cookie statement. Do you have any questions about the processing of your personal data? Please contact us using the contact details in this privacy and cookie statement.

Integrations with third-party software
Our service allows certain integrations with third-party software. Such integrations may enable, among other things, the exchange of data between systems of Trengo and such third-party software. Any data received through these integrations is used exclusively to deliver the intended integration and therewith intended service aspect. Insofar the exchanged data contains personal data, this privacy statement shall apply. For the realization of certain integrations, it may be necessary to authorize Trengo to actually use the integration, e.g. to send to and/or retrieve data from the linked systems. 

Google's Limited Use Requirements
Trengo's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
