Privacy statement

To Emerce your privacy is of great importance. We therefore comply with the privacy law. This means that your data is safe with us and that we always use it properly. In this privacy statement we aim to explain what we do at Emerce with the information we receive about you.

If you have any questions or want to know exactly what we keep track of, please contact us.

Your account
On some pages of our websites you will be asked to register first. You will be asked to enter information about yourself and choose a username. With this information we create an account, on which you can log in with that username and a self-chosen password.

To create an account, we use your name and address, company name, position, telephone number, email address, gender, date of birth and IP address. We do this based on your consent. 

We keep this information up to three months after you have canceled the account. We store the information so that you do not have to enter all your data repeatedly and we can contact you more easily if necessary. You can change your account information whenever you want.

Handling orders
If you place an order with us, we use your personal data to handle the order to our best ability. We may then transfer your personal details to our delivery service to have the order delivered to you. We also receive information about your payment from your bank or credit card company.

Therefor we use your name and address, company name, telephone number, billing address, email address, payment details and IP address. We need this because of the contract we conclude with you. We store this information until the order is completed and seven years thereafter (which is the legal storage obligation).

Magazine
We have a magazine. In this magazine we keep you informed six times a year about the latest trends in online business, media and marketing. If you take out a paid subscription with us for our Emerce magazine, we use your personal data to process the payment.

Therefor we use your name and address, company name, telephone number, billing address, email address, payment details and IP address. We need this because of the contract we conclude with you. We keep this information until you cancel the subscription and seven years thereafter (that is the legal storage obligation).

Contact Form
If you send us an email for a question, we will answer it as soon as possible. Therefor we use your name and address, company name, telephone number and email address. Sending such an email to us implies the permission for usage of these data. We keep this information until we are sure that you are satisfied with our response and six months thereafter to have easy and fast access to this information in case of subsequent questions. It enables us as well to train our customer service to perform even better.

Newsletter
You can subscribe to one or more of our newsletters. They give you the latest news, tips and information about our products and services. You can cancel this subscription at any time. Each newsletter contains an unsubscribe link. You can also unsubscribe via your account.

Your email address will only be added to the list of subscribers with your explicit permission. This data is kept for up to three months after you cancel the subscription.

When we send you a newsletter with links to white papers, and you download one by following the link, as a courtesy we already fill in the fields with your first name, last name and email address. The Publisher of the white paper will not be provided with these data unless you separately provide your permission.

Options for reactions
You can leave a comment under published messages. Your name and any website will be mentioned. To keep the discussion intact, once the response is published it cannot be deleted anymore. We can change your name on request.

We would like to send you information about offers and new products or services. We do this:

Which cookies does Emerce use?

Functional cookies
In the first place, Emerce uses functional cookies. A functional cookie has purely technical functionality. Our website will not function properly without these cookies. This also includes scripts that do not register any personal data, but do count numbers of views.

Analytics cookies
Emerce uses analytics services to collect statistics about the use and visit of the website. This data is analyzed by the provider of these analytics services (Google Analytics) and the results are provided to Emerce. In this way Emerce gains insight into how the website is used and can use this data to adjust the website and / or its services if necessary. In order to do so, Google Analytics cookies are used.
We have made our analytics services as privacy-friendly as possible. That means that we have taken the following measures to protect your privacy:
– we have concluded a processing agreement with the provider of the analytics service;
– we have agreed with the provider of the analytics service that the data may not be used for other purposes or for other Google services;
– The final octet of the IP-adres has been concealed;
– ‘share data’ has been deactivated.

Tracking cookies
Tracking cookies are placed to identify the website visitor. These tracking cookies can also be placed from external domain names by other parties. If you choose this, we and third parties will place cookies for advertising purposes. This makes it possible, for example, to make advertisements from us outside this website more relevant to you and to measure the reach thereof. For this we use scripts from third parties such as Facebook and LinkedIn. If you prefer not to do this, make another choice.

A tracking pixel is an electronic file (size normally 1 pixel x 1 pixel) that is placed in an email (for example our newsletter). By using a tracking pixel we can see if an email is being read.

Social media buttons

Please read the privacy statement of Facebook or LinkedIn (which can change regularly) to read what they do with your (personal) data that they process via these cookies. The information is transferred to and stored by Facebook and LinkedIn on servers in the United States. LinkedIn and Facebook adhere to the Privacy Shield principles and are affiliated with the Privacy Shield program of the US Department of Commerce. This means that there is an appropriate level of protection for the processing of any personal data.
