Privacy policy
1. Introduction
The right to privacy, and specifically the right to personal data protection is one of the values of SIBO NETHERLANDS, B.V. (hereinafter, “SIBO”), which is included in our Code of Ethics.
The objective of this policy is to explain how SIBO will treat those personal data that may be collected through the different forms that may be found on this website. Your personal data will be treated confidentially and only for those purposes that you have
consented to, as explained below in this General Privacy Policy and in each of the Privacy Policies of the different forms.
2. Commitment to privacy
SIBO is fully committed to compliance with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation and the laws on personal data protection that may be in force at any given time, as this is a top priority for Fluidra’s Group.
Therefore, SIBO has taken the decision to implement the following principles, whereby privacy forms the basis of all data processing.
- Transparency in data processing is one of our priorities, so whenever we collect personal data about you shall we duly inform you of the purpose for which they shall be processed in the relevant privacy policy.
- We shall only process the data that are strictly necessary for the purposes about which you shall have been informed.
- We shall never oblige you to provide personal data, unless absolutely necessary to render you a service that you may have requested.
- Whenever possible, we shall make the most straightforward means available to you for you to control your personal data.
- Your data shall not be assigned, sold, leased or in any other way whatsoever made available to third parties, except in the case of SIBO’s service providers that render certain services, but under no circumstances shall they process them for
their own ends. Some of these service providers may be based outside of the European Union, as stated in the section “International Transfers”.
Purposes of data processing, legal grounds and storage periods SIBO collects your personal data for these purposes, according to the following legal grounds and with the following storage periods:
| Purpose | Legal Grounds | Storage Period |
| To be able to attend to your consultations, questions or requests made through the “contact” form, “become a seller” form or any other channel that may appear in the website. | The legal ground is SIBO’s legitimate interest in responding to your questions or requests. The benefit for SIBO is to know precisely the needs of the interested parties and thus improve the quality of the services provided. The benefit for stakeholders is to be able to receive clear and concise information regarding their queries or requests. Please note that in order to assess the legitimate interest, a legitimate interest weighting has been carried out in which we have analysed our own benefits as a data controller as well as the benefits of third parties and concluded that our legitimate interest in the processing outweighs the interests, rights and freedoms of users. You can request more information about the weighting of legitimate interest by contacting our Data Protection Officer (DPO) at the address indicated in the final section of this section. We would also like to take this opportunity to remind you that you have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interest. With regards to the “become a seller” form, the legal ground is the pre-contractual relationship of the parties. | Any data you provide for this purpose will be processed for as long as it is necessary to deal with your request or enquiry or, in any case, until the end of the potential contractual relationship. |
| To improve our websites, services, products, and to provide better service and content. | The basis for the legitimacy of strictly necessary cookies is SIBO’s legitimate interest in being able to offer you a better browsing experience on our website. The benefit for SIBO is to provide a good quality website. The benefit to stakeholders is to be able to receive a quality experience by browsing the website. Please note that in order to assess the legitimate interest, a legitimate interest weighting has been carried out, which has analysed our own benefits as a data controller, as well as the benefits | For more information on cookie retention, please see our Cookie Policy. |
In all other cases, whenever required, we shall ask you for your consent for processing your personal data.
3. Data Communication
Your data will not be given, sold, rented or otherwise made available to any third party, except to those service providers of SIBO, who perform certain activities for SIBO, but who will in no case process the data for their own purposes. Your data may also be shared with logistics providers for the purpose of fulfilling our contractual relationship with them. Some of these third parties may be located outside the European Union, as indicated in the „International Transfers“ section.
4. Sending marketing messages
Within the framework of SIBO’s marketing activities, we may send you commercial communications based on our contractual relationship. In the event of having a contractual relationship, SIBO shall send you customized information about its products, business and services in accordance with your tastes and preferences. You may oppose to this processing activity at any time whenever you receive marketing messages through the link or button enabled for this purpose in all messages, or by expressing your desire to withdraw your consent through an email to dataprivacy@fluidra.com.
5. International Data Transfers
SIBO, as an entity of international projection, has international suppliers that can provide their services from outside the EU, so it is possible that your data are processed outside the European Union or the European Economic Area.
In any case, SIBO will ensure that such data processing is always protected with the appropriate guarantees, which may include Standard Clauses approved by the EU, these being contracts approved by the European regulator, and which provide sufficient
guarantees to ensure that the processing complies with the requirements established by the European Data Protection Regulation, as well as certifications from third parties, among others.
6. Duration of processing and term of storage
SIBO is bound by the undertaking to only process your personal data while they are actually useful to us and we are able to provide you with a quality Service by using them. Therefore, we make every reasonable endeavor to keep the term of processing and
storage of personal data as short as possible. In any event, even if you request that we delete your data, we may store and keep them, subject to their being blocked as required by law, for the term required for us to fulfill our legal obligations and for their disclosure to the competent Authorities on the various matters to which they are subject.
6. Exercise of rights
