2. What personal data we collect and why

We only collect personal data that we need for the purposes described below.

2.1 Quote and contact requests

When you submit a quote or contact request, we collect the data you provide in the form:

• Name
• Email address
• Country
• Company name
• Product of interest
• Phone number
• Your message

Purpose: to respond to your enquiry, prepare a quotation, and communicate with you about a possible or existing business relationship. Legal basis: taking steps at your request prior to entering into a contract (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b)); and our legitimate interest in handling business enquiries (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)).

2.2 Newsletter subscription

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address.

Purpose: to send you occasional updates about ELECREST products and news. Legal basis: your consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)). You can withdraw consent at any time using the unsubscribe link in every email, with no effect on processing already carried out.

2.3 Job applications

If you apply for a position, we process the personal data you send us (currently by email; in the future via an application form with CV attachment), such as your name, contact details, and the information contained in your CV and application.

Purpose: to assess your application and manage our recruitment process. Legal basis: taking steps at your request prior to entering into an employment contract (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b)); and, where applicable, your consent to keep your data on file (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)).

2.4 Website usage and analytics

When you visit our website, certain data is processed automatically, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, and time of access.

• Strictly necessary processing (e.g. server logs for security and to operate the site) is based on our legitimate interest (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)).
• Analytics (Google Analytics 4) is only activated after you give consent via our cookie banner. For details on cookies and how to manage your preferences, see our Cookie Policy. Legal basis for analytics: your consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)).

3. Who we share your data with (Recipients / Processors)

We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with service providers (“processors”) that help us operate our business, and with our affiliated company, as described below. All processors act on our instructions under a data processing agreement (GDPR Art. 28).

---

4. International transfers of personal data

Some recipients are located outside the European Economic Area (EEA), or may access your data from outside the EEA. Where this happens, we ensure an appropriate level of protection as required by the GDPR (Chapter V):

• United States (Google LLC): transfers rely on the European Commission’s adequacy decision under the EU–U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF), under which Google is certified, supported by the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) as an additional safeguard.
• China (our affiliated company, and access by our China-headquartered hosting provider): because China is not covered by an EU adequacy decision, we safeguard these transfers using the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) together with a transfer impact assessment and supplementary measures where appropriate.

You can request a copy of the relevant safeguards by contacting us at info@elecrest.energy.

5. How long we keep your data (Retention)

We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes above, or as required by law:

• Quote and contact enquiries (no business relationship): up to 12 months from last contact, then deleted.
• Customer and contract data: for the duration of the business relationship plus 7 years, to meet Dutch administrative and tax retention obligations.
• Newsletter: until you unsubscribe or withdraw consent.
• Job applications: up to 4 weeks after the process ends; with your consent, up to 1 year.
• Analytics data (GA4): up to 14 months.
• Server logs: generally no longer than 30 days.
