Preface

This the Albertronic B.V. (Albertronic) Privacy Statement. This Privacy Statement applies to all private data and/or personal data that you provide to us. For example: through e-mail or contact form. We will clearly explain where your data is stored and for what purpose this data is stored.

Albertronic is the company above 123ignition and 123electric; specialized in ignitions and electronic solutions for batteries (BMS systems). We mainly focus on so-called “resellers” in the car industry: inside and also outside the Netherlands.

There are several situations where Albertronic needs to collect and use your personal data. For instance: the processing of an order that you have placed with us. It is important that you know what happens to your personal data and how you can clearly communicate your wishes regarding this use of your personal data.

Albertronic takes your privacy very seriously and will process and use your information in a secure manner. All articles in this privacy statement are in accordance with the applicable GDPR legislation: the General Data Protection Regulation that has been in force since 25 may 2018.

Categories of personal data

If you use our services and/or order our services, you will inevitably leave certain personal information with us. This can be (personal) data such as your name, address, date of birth, telephone number and e-mail address. Personal data is data that can be traced to a natural person. As a result, for example, a company e-mail with john.johnsson@company.eu falls under the scope of the GDPR.

We only store and use the personal data that is provided directly by you or for which it is clear that it is provided to us for processing.

Basis and purpose for data processing

Security

First of all, it is good to state that no physical copies of your personal data are made. Your data is only managed in the aforementioned systems and software.

The personal data managed by Albertronic (or previously discussed third parties) can only be accessed via the above software. This personal data is protected with a password. Where this possibility is offered even with a two-step verification.

What does a two-step verification mean? A code is then generated from the software. This code is then sent to Albertronic. This code is then used in the log-in process.

The devices that open your data are also locked with a password and / or fingerprint scan. This only concerns the necessary devices.

Your visit to our website will also be protected by “https” security. This means that your connection to Albertronic is private. We also have an SSL certificate. Everything to keep your data safe.

For the sake of completeness, more information about online security:

  • Security software, such as a virus scanner and firewall.
  • TLS (formerly SSL) We send your data via a secure internet connection. You can see this at the address bar ‘https’ and the padlock in the address bar.
  • DNSSEC is an extra security (in addition to DNS) for converting a domain name to the associated IP address (server name); it is provided with a digital signature. You can have this signature checked automatically. In this way we prevent you from being redirected to a false IP address.

In any event, your data will be secured, and stored encrypted on our internal server.
