  • Communication data: messages, inquiries, feedback, survey responses, support requests, notes from calls or meetings, and correspondence.
  • Customer-advocacy data: testimonials, reviews, case study contributions, reference participation, event participation, satisfaction feedback, and advocacy-related preferences.
  • Technical data: IP address, browser type, device information, operating system, language settings, access times, and website usage data.
  • Transaction and service data: service requests, billing or administrative information, contract details, and records of our business relationship.
  • Marketing and preference data: communication preferences, consent choices, and responses to marketing or promotional communications.
  • Any other data you provide voluntarily: for example, information submitted in forms, surveys, or through direct communication with us.

We may collect personal data directly from you, automatically through our website and digital tools, and from third parties such as business partners, service providers, public sources, or your employer where relevant to our services.

3. Purpose of data processing

We process personal data for the following purposes:

  • to provide and manage our customer-advocacy services;
  • to communicate with you and respond to inquiries;
  • to coordinate testimonials, references, case studies, surveys, and other advocacy activities;
  • to maintain business relationships and manage accounts, contracts, and administration;
  • to improve our services, website, processes, and customer experience;
  • to send service messages, updates, and, where permitted, marketing communications;
  • to analyze usage, performance, and engagement with our website and communications;
  • to comply with legal obligations, regulatory requirements, and lawful requests;
  • to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims;
  • to protect the security, integrity, and functionality of our systems and services.

4. Legal basis for processing

We process personal data only where we have a valid legal basis. Depending on the context, our legal bases may include:

  • Consent: where you have given us clear permission to process your personal data for a specific purpose, such as optional marketing or publication of a testimonial.
  • Contractual necessity: where processing is necessary to enter into or perform a contract with you or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract.
  • Legitimate interests: where processing is necessary for our legitimate business interests, such as providing customer-advocacy services, maintaining business relationships, securing our systems, or improving our services, provided your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.
  • Legal obligation: where processing is required to comply with applicable laws, regulations, or lawful requests.

Where required by law, we will ask for your consent before processing your personal data.

5. Data sharing and third parties

We may share personal data with third parties only when necessary and in accordance with applicable law. Such recipients may include:

  • Service providers: hosting providers, IT support, analytics providers, communication tools, CRM platforms, and other vendors that support our operations;
  • Business partners and clients: where sharing is necessary to deliver customer-advocacy services, subject to appropriate safeguards;
  • Professional advisers: lawyers, accountants, auditors, insurers, and consultants;
  • Authorities and regulators: courts, law enforcement, tax authorities, or other public bodies where required by law or necessary to protect rights;
  • Corporate transactions: if we undergo a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, personal data may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable legal requirements.

We require third parties that process personal data on our behalf to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures and to process personal data only according to our instructions and applicable law.

6. Data transfer to third countries

Because some of our service providers or business partners may be located outside the European Economic Area (EEA), personal data may be transferred to countries that may not provide the same level of data protection as your home country.

Where such transfers occur, Advocare Customer Advocacy B.V. will take appropriate safeguards to protect your personal data, which may include:

  • transfers to countries recognized as providing an adequate level of protection;
  • standard contractual clauses or other approved transfer mechanisms;
  • additional technical, contractual, or organizational safeguards as necessary.

7. Storage duration

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

In determining retention periods, we consider:

  • the nature and sensitivity of the data;
  • the purposes of processing;
  • legal, accounting, or reporting obligations;
  • the time needed to resolve disputes or enforce agreements;
  • whether you withdraw consent or object to processing, where applicable.

When personal data is no longer required, we will delete, anonymize, or securely archive it in accordance with applicable law and our retention practices.

8. User rights

Subject to applicable law, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

  • Right of access: to request confirmation whether we process your personal data and to obtain a copy of that data;
  • Right to rectification: to request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data;
  • Right to erasure: to request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances;
  • Right to restriction: to request restriction of processing in certain situations;
  • Right to data portability: to receive personal data you provided to us in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format and, where technically feasible, to have it transferred to another controller;
  • Right to object: to object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes;
  • Right not to be subject to automated decision-making: where applicable, to not be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal or similarly significant effects.

To exercise your rights, please contact us using the details in the Contact information section below. We may need to verify your identity before responding to your request. We will respond within the time limits required by applicable law.

9. Withdrawal of consent

Where we rely on your consent to process personal data, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

If you withdraw consent, we will stop the relevant processing unless we have another lawful basis to continue processing. You may withdraw consent by contacting us at [email protected].

10. Right to complain

If you believe that our processing of your personal data violates applicable data protection laws, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.

Without prejudice to that right, we encourage you to contact Advocare Customer Advocacy B.V. first so that we may address your concern directly and promptly.

11. Data security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or access.

These measures may include, as appropriate:

  • access controls and authentication procedures;
  • encryption in transit and, where appropriate, at rest;
  • network and endpoint security measures;
  • regular backups and recovery procedures;
  • staff confidentiality obligations and security awareness practices;
  • vendor due diligence and contractual safeguards;
  • monitoring and incident response procedures.

No method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. While we strive to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
