HOW WE PROCESS YOUR INFORMATION

There are several ways in which APA might collect personal information. Under GDPR, we believe that the below processing activities are lawful by virtue of either consent you have given, contractual obligations or due to our legitimate interests in customer service and marketing. They are listed and explained below:

Visitors to our website, www.apafacadesystems.com, may choose to contact APA through the Contact Us form. In this form, you provide us with your name, e-mail address, a contact phone number and your intended message. By completing the form and selecting the “I have read, understand and agree with your Privacy Statement” checkbox, you consent to APA contacting you using the information provided. We may use this information to provide you with updates on product launches or offers on occasion, but please note that you may always opt-out at any time.

If you register with us on our website, you provide us with your name, e-mail address, phone number, company name and role. You also create a password to permit access to our Technical Library. By providing this information, we will use this information to manage your account, personalise your use of the website and for marketing and administration purposes.

If you purchase our products, we may collect certain transactional information, contact information and delivery details. This information, along with relevant information you may have provided previously, is required for the performance of a contract or may be necessary to enter into a contract with us. This information will be used for administrative purposes and ongoing sales and customer service purposes. Note that if information is a contractual requirement, there may be legal consequences should you fail to meet those requirements.

We may also get some technical information when you use our website. This information is logged automatically and happens when you use any website. This can range from log data, such as your Internet Protocol address, your browser type and settings, the date and time of your visit, cookie data and device information.

We have taken appropriate technical and organisational measures to guarantee data security, in particular to protect your personal data against access by third parties, as well as accidental or intentional modification, loss or destruction. Such measures are reviewed periodically and in line with industry standards.

WHO WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION WITH

We do not sell personal data to third parties.

We may, when necessary, share personal information with any other members of the APA Façade Systems group. We may also disclose personal information to various recipients in order to offer you the best possible service; this might include outsourced service providers or IT service providers.

We may need to disclose your personal information to public authorities or bodies as required by law e.g. police force or other law enforcement agencies for the purposes of prevention, investigation or detection of crime, or to third parties in order to comply with applicable laws or regulations, search warrants, court orders or another statutory requirement.

To meet these purposes, we may on occasion need to transfer your personal information outside of the European Economic Area to a country that has not been confirmed as holding an adequate level of protection. If so, we will ensure that appropriate measures are in place to comply with our obligations under applicable law governing such transfers, which may include seeking consent from you as the data subject, drawing up a data processing agreement containing Model Clauses, and/or ensuring that the transfer is covered by the EU-US Privacy Shield framework (or any equivalent framework).

HOW LONG WE HOLD YOUR INFORMATION

We will not hold any of your personal information for longer than is necessary. Once your data is no longer required e.g. upon termination of a customer relationship or end of a statutory retention period, we commit to ensure your information is erased from our systems and to notify any recipients of their obligations.

YOUR RIGHTS AS A DATA SUBJECT

As a data subject, you have the right to:

• withdraw your consent to direct marketing;

• access your personal data;
• have any errors or inaccuracies rectified;
• erasure of your personal data, in certain circumstances;
• have restrictions placed upon any processing of your data, in certain circumstances;
• personal data portability, if applicable;
• object to processing on certain grounds.

If you are unhappy with how we handle your data and are unable to reach an amicable resolution with APA directly, you have the right to complain to the Data Protection Commissioner in Ireland. Further information can be found here.

SECURITY

We have taken appropriate technical and organisational measures to guarantee data security, in particular to protect your personal data against access by third parties, as well as accidental or intentional modification, loss or destruction.
