Privacy statement

In this privacy statement, we, Truvion Holding B.V. (“Truvion”) or “we”/“us”), explain how we deal with the personal data of our customers, potential customers and other persons with whom Truvion contracts with or has contact with, directly or indirectly (customers, suppliers, and where appropriate, their suppliers). Truvion Healthcare Logistics B.V., Truvion Healthcare B.V., Santesa B.V. and Truvion Healthcare N.V. are subsidiaries of Truvion. As a logistics service provider in the pharmaceutical industry, Truvion Healthcare Logistics B.V. provides logistics services for small to medium-sized pharmaceutical and medical companies in the Netherlands and abroad, and processes personal data in that context. Truvion Healthcare B.V., Santesa B.V. and Truvion Healthcare N.V. bring products onto the market and in doing so, make use of websites and online shops. Personal data is data that can reasonably be traced to an individual.

How we obtain personal data

We collect personal data by various means, one being that you have provided it to us. For example:

  • when you contact us through one of our company websites;
  • when you come into contact with us through one of our consumer-oriented websites, such as by email, telephone, WhatsApp or our social media channels;
  • when you register through our website and/or make purchases;
  • when you request product-related and other information;
  • when you enter into a contract with us; or
  • because you use our website(s) and in doing so, enable us to record data about your interests and preferences.

We also process personal data that we obtain from our own observations or derive from your use of certain services or facilities, for example:

  • your communication preferences;
  • data relating to the means by which you communicate with us, such as an IP address or other number;
  • data that we link to certain patterns, such as a status in the profile that we compile about you based on your consumption behaviour (such as the frequency with which you visit our website, make a purchase or purchase a service).

We may process your data that relates to you as a consumer, such as when you contact us about a specific product, or data that relates to you as an employee or representative of a company or organisation, or if you’re a business partner or represent one.

If you do not supply data that you are required to enter (as will be shown on a case-by-case basis), the consequence may be that we are unable to fulfil certain contractual obligations. Some products and/or services are offered by our partners and sometimes reference is made to websites of such partners or other third parties. This is clearly indicated. The privacy statement of these parties show how these parties handle your personal data.

Principles

We may use personal data on the basis of six different principles, which are specified in the law:

  • to represent our legitimate interests or those of the organisation with which we can and will share your details;
  • to comply with a legal obligation;
  • to represent your vital interests as an involved party; and
  • the need to process personal data for the performance of a task that is in the public interest.

Legitimate interests

The legitimate interests of Truvion or a third party are: marketing, advertising, communication, research into and analysis of own products or services, establishing which products and services are most likely to be of interest to people, IT management and security, business management, legal affairs, internal management, and sharing information with parties affiliated with us.

Sharing with third parties

Your personal data is shared with:

Some third parties engaged by Truvion qualify as ‘processors’ (such as hosting service providers, certain software suppliers, mobility service providers or parties that organise or carry out campaigns or studies). Agreements are made with such parties in accordance with the applicable legal requirements.

Profiling and cookies

We can send you information about these products and services taking into account the communication preferences you specify and the information about you that we possess. We can share that information with our customer service so that they can use it when you contact us. We can also collaborate with third parties to display advertisements tailored to your preferences on social media platforms or, if you have given permission for the use of cookies (if this permission is required), when you surf on the internet/visit other websites (see Truvion’s cookies statement for more information). We may combine this information on behalf of our legitimate interests, or with your permission where required.

Transfer outside of the EEA

If we transfer your data to a country outside of the EEA, we will inform you about this and will take appropriate security measures to lawfully transfer the personal data to such countries. Please contact us if you wish to view a copy of the relevant guarantees.

If you have given permission, you can revoke it at any time, and the relevant processing will cease as of that moment. In addition, in certain cases you have the right to object to processing related to direct marketing and processing based on the ‘legitimate interest’ principle, and to request us to limit the use of your personal data or to delete it or transfer it (data portability).

  • your personal data is necessary for providing you with products or services;
