What are personal data?

Personal data are all data that can be traced back to individual persons. Examples are your name, address, phone number and account number, just like photographs and biometric data.

Are you obliged to provide personal data?

Sometimes we are under a statutory obligation to retain or provide your personal data, for instance such as your data on an invoice when you are a customer or supplier of us.

In many cases, it is necessary to use certain personal data in order to be able to provide you with the service or product that you purchase from us. In that case, the use of your data is necessary to be able to perform the contract or to enter into the contract.

In these cases, you are obliged to provide us with data because otherwise, we cannot comply with our statutory and/or contractual obligations.

Data collected by others?

APM does collect data originating from third parties. This occasionally occurs with data from customers that are given to us via our dealers. This is only the case if there is a reason to do so, such as complicated, technical questions that the customer prefers to be answered by the manufacturer directly.

Personal data can be divided into categories. We use the following categories of personal data:
