"og:title": "Privacy policy | Avantison" --- # **Privacy policy ** This privacy policy explains how Avantison processes personal data through its website and related online services. ### **Who is responsible for the processing** Avantison is the controller for the personal data processed through this website in connection with its own activities. Based on the website configuration currently in use, Avantison can be contacted at Den Aard 13, 2970 Schilde, Belgium, via [info@avantison.be](mailto:info@avantison.be), and by telephone at 03/346.66.67. ### **What personal data Avantison may process** Depending on how you use the website, Avantison may process identification and contact data such as first name, last name, email address, telephone number, company name, company registration number, preferred language and the content of your message. When you use website forms or calculators, Avantison may also process request-related data such as information about your fleet, vehicles, financing preferences, estimated asset value, submitted documents, business context and interactions related to your application or request. Avantison may also process technical and usage data such as IP address, browser data, cookie identifiers, pages visited, form events, referral data, device data and consent preferences. ### **Purposes of processing** Avantison processes personal data for the following purposes: - to answer contact requests and provide the requested information; - to handle offer requests, lease guide requests, newsletter subscriptions and other website submissions; - to assess and follow up on leasing, financing or marketplace-related requests; - to operate, secure and improve the website and its services; - to measure website usage and campaign effectiveness where consent is required and has been given; - to comply with legal obligations, keep records, prevent abuse and protect rights and claims. ### **Legal bases** Depending on the situation, Avantison relies on one or more of the following legal bases under the GDPR: - performance of steps requested before entering into a contract; - performance of a contract; - compliance with legal obligations; - legitimate interests, such as operating and securing the website, handling business communications, preventing fraud and improving services; - consent, where required, for example for non-essential cookies or certain marketing-related processing. If Avantison relies on consent, you can withdraw that consent at any time for the future. ### **Recipients and processors** Personal data may be shared, where relevant, with hosting providers, website and CMS service providers, analytics or consent-management providers, communication tools, professional advisers, public authorities, and commercial or technical partners involved in processing your request. Based on the current technical configuration of the website, this may include providers or services connected to Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Google Maps, Google reCAPTCHA, CookieScript, YouTube and Meta or Facebook-related services where enabled. ### **International transfers** Some service providers may process data outside Belgium or outside the European Economic Area. Where that happens, Avantison expects appropriate safeguards to be used where required under the GDPR, such as adequacy decisions or contractual safeguards. ### **Retention** Avantison keeps personal data no longer than necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, taking into account legal, operational and evidentiary needs. Submission data, commercial communications and website records may therefore be kept for different periods depending on the context and applicable obligations. ### **Your rights** Subject to the conditions and limits of applicable law, you may have the right to access your personal data, rectify inaccurate data, erase data, restrict processing, object to processing based on legitimate interests, withdraw consent where processing is based on consent, and receive certain data in a portable format. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. For Belgium, this is the Gegevensbeschermingsautoriteit or Autorité de protection des données. ### **Security** Avantison takes reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, misuse or unlawful processing. However, no online environment can be guaranteed to be completely secure. ### **Third-party websites** The website may contain links to third-party websites or embedded third-party content. Avantison is not responsible for the privacy practices of those external services. ### **Updates** Avantison may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect legal, technical or operational changes. ### **Contact** For privacy questions or requests concerning your personal data, contact [info@avantison.be](mailto:info@avantison.be).
