Effective Date of this Privacy Statement: January 2024

With this Privacy Statement, Normec Group (Normec) informs you about why we need your personal data, how we process and protect it, and how you can exercise your privacy rights. We handle your personal data with great care and ensure that we always act in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Normec conducts independent tests and inspections based on recognized methods. We appreciate the interest you have shown in our company, our products, and our services by visiting our websites, including https://normecgroup.com, or related communication channels such as our social media accounts, channels, and blogs. Normec maintains these channels solely for the purpose of providing information to and communicating with business customers and potential customers.

This general statement applies to all personal data that Normec may collect during your interactions with Normec, such as when you visit our websites, contact us, and so on. However, we will always provide a specific privacy notice whenever we need personal information from you. The privacy notice specifies, among other things, exactly what information we request from you, the purpose for which we need it, how we protect it, how long we retain it, with whom we share it, and what your rights are—including the rights to access, correct, and supplement this data, as well as to have it deleted.

Why do we need your personal data?

We may ask you to share your personal data with us for the following purposes:

To send you information about Normec’s products and services
To answer your questions
To share Normec’s social media channels, sites, and blogs with you
To maintain our relationship with you as a customer
To provide and improve our services
To improve our websites and social media channels
We will not process your personal data for any other purposes.

What personal data do we collect?

When you interact with Normec, we may ask for certain information, such as:

Your name
Your email address
Your job title
Your business phone number
Information necessary for the business relationship

In addition, we may collect information about your IP address, systems, and activities, such as:

Your cookie ID

How do we collect your personal data?

Normec may collect data in two different ways: one in which you actively consent and one in which you passively consent. You can actively share your personal data with Normec in various ways, such as:

Filling out and submitting the contact form on our website. Communicating with Normec, for example via email or phone with one of our employees. When your web browser is configured to accept cookies, you may actively share certain personal information with us, such as your IP address. We then collect this data without you having to take any action. Read more about this in our Cookie Policy.

With whom do we share your personal data?

We do not combine, rent, or sell your data, nor do we share it in any other way or provide it to third parties. Normec only discloses personal data at your request or when required by law. When Normec uses data processors, they are always contractually bound to confidentiality.

What are your privacy rights?

Once you have shared your personal data with us, it remains your property. In the Data Privacy Statement, we inform you of your specific rights; you always have the right to access your data so that you can have it updated or modified. In most cases, you can also have your data deleted, request that we restrict processing, or object to the processing. If we have asked for your consent to collect personal data and you have provided it to us, you can always withdraw it later. You can exercise your rights by simply sending an email to [email protected].

How long do we retain your personal data?

We do not retain the data you share with us for longer than is strictly necessary. How long that is depends on the purpose for which we need the data. When we process personal data, we specify the purpose and the retention period in our privacy policy.

How do we protect your personal data?

We recognize our responsibility to protect the personal data you entrust to us against loss, misuse, and unauthorized access. Normec uses various security technologies and organizational procedures to protect your personal data. Our servers, laptops, and workstations are secured; we store data in locked cabinets; and our staff is trained in handling personal data.

You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us at [email protected]. Withdrawal does not apply retroactively to materials that have already been published, unless removal is reasonably possible.
