Finally: Our vision and explanation of privacy and data processing.
Coolworld Rentals processes and stores your data for the performance of our contract with you or to comply with a statutory obligation. For example, think of the ‘business’ name and address details of persons with signing authority. As a service provider and service-oriented organisation, Coolworld Rentals likes to be close to you as a customer, this is in order to offer a suitable solution as quickly as possible and to immediately have contact with the right person. For example, think of such things as emergencies, including mobile phone numbers in emergency plans or availability of persons within your organisation for our 24/7 service where you yourself give consent for processing in contracts or applicable documents.
In practice, offering customised service and customer-specific business solutions sometimes requires that we store knowledge about your organisation in our ERP system. As you can read in the above-mentioned privacy statement, 'data which can be traced back to individuals' is only stored for a longer period of time to a very limited degree. Use of contact data is purely and solely intended for functional communication during but also between rental periods. Rental periods vary from a few weeks to sometimes longer periods of several years (which can be extended in the interim). Coolworld Rentals is, at heart, a rental organisation which offers ‘temporary’ solutions. In practice this therefore entails that there is not always stable periodic customer contact: We assist some customers every year at a fixed time, we might assist other customers once every 5 years or perhaps every 10 years (for example if there has been an emergency situation, capacity shortage during remodelling work or (summer) peak periods). In order to stay in contact with you as our customer (in particular the latter group) it is our goal to have contact with you at least 1x per year and to monitor your data. Other forms of contact which you can register for or opt out of at any time are:
The Coolworld Rentals E-newsletter
Frequency: maximum 4x a year at the e-mail address you specify to us Contents: Reminders and alerts for coming season peaks, new products or industry-specific practical cases as well as test set-ups and practical assistance documents.
Opting out: In every e-mailing you will find an opt-out link in the footnote. Please click on this link and follow the instructions. For correct automated processing, we kindly ask that you use the aforementioned opt-out link. Should you nevertheless no longer wish to receive the emailings, send your request by e-mail to marketing@coolworld-rentals.com.
We will then process your opt-out request in our system as soon as possible.
Registering: send an e-mail to marketing@coolworld-rentals.com and state in the e-mail your postal details to which the registration applies.
The Coolworld Rentals magazine
Frequency: 2x a year at the postal address specified by you.

Coolworld Rentals, like every healthy business, is keen to have a long-term relationship with all its customers, from this perspective we will remain in contact with you in a low-threshold, on disruptive manner desired by you.
