An example of Personal Data which are referred to as mandatory is the situation whereby a Data Subject wishes to submit a contact form. In such case Coolworld requires certain personal data to be able to process the contact request. If the Data Subject wishes to make contact but the personal data which are specified as mandatory are not provided, Coolworld cannot accept and process the contact request.

Coolworld can collect Personal Data with or without the consent of the Data Subject if: 1) a statutory obligation must be performed; 2) a contract in which the Data Subject is party, must or will be performed; 3) legitimate interests, general interest or vital interests must be protected which have priority over the Data Subject's interests; 4) Coolworld is requested by a public authority to process Personal Data. 

Coolworld can furthermore only process your Personal Data:

Depending on the purpose of any Processing and in so far as necessary you can be asked to provide various Personal Data, including your name, forename, date and place of birth, gender, job, address, telephone number, mobile phone number, e-mail address, IP address, language, country, nationality, ID card number, driving licence number, Citizen Service Number (BSN number), passport number, career, employer, profession, customer number, location data, personal social media URL, credit card number, preferences, interests, feedback, data regarding your activities on our website, data on your surfing behaviour across various websites (e.g. because this company is part of an advertising network), list of your customer contact details via an app, Internet browser and apparatus type.

After we have collected the Personal Data, we use them for a number of different purposes. Following is an overview:

Business administration and customer management.

Coolworld Rentals must be able to properly perform contracts and to execute all necessary statutorily mandated and accounting processes. Consequently, Coolworld Rentals needs specific Personal Data of the Data Subjects, which are provided offline via Forms or online via the Website and Applications. In accordance with Regulation (EU) 679/2016, for the performance of contracts, the consent of the Data Subject who is or will be a party to the contract is not required. With regard to the management of customer relationships and the provision of customer services, Coolworld Rentals makes use of Personal Data (inter alia name, country, language, e-mail address, customer number) to:

Direct marketing

Coolworld Rentals, a specialist in the full-service rental of cooling technology, climate control, heating, ventilation and air conditioning equipment and solutions, can provide you with specific information tailored to your needs. For example, Coolworld Rentals can use the details of your transaction to keep you updated about services, offers and suggestions that relate to your recent purchase/rental order history. This is what we refer to as “direct marketing”.

Coolworld Rentals uses collected Personal Data, Personal Data which are publicly available(e.g. information which is available on the Internet, via the results of search instructions or via social media) or Personal Data which were received from third parties (e.g. Internet providers) with an eye on direct marketing and to attract new customers.

Coolworld Rentals also engages in direct marketing for organising internal events, business trips, presentations, meetings of employees, customers and Business Partners.

Coolworld Rentals uses Personal Data which were collected via Forms, job applications, questionnaires, (telephone) surveys, comments, feedback provided to Coolworld Rentals or other businesses of the Coolworld group to improve its products and services, conduct further surveys, to develop analytical, risk, marketing and other models and to prepare statistics. Coolworld Rentals can use the data from your transactions to develop rough designs and execute analyses.

Example: It might be necessary that Coolworld Rentals has to process the number of persons who rented a specific Coolworld Rentals product or requested a specific service.

In this framework Coolworld Rentals will try to collect the Personal Data as much as possible in anonymous or pseudonymised form to ensure that these Personal Data cannot easily or can no longer be identified as your data.

The practice of the Processing of Personal Data for statistical purposes is particularly justified by the wish of Coolworld Rentals to make strategic choices for better performance on the market and to be able to provide you with better products and services.

Personal Data can also be used to assess, simplify and improve the processes of Coolworld Rentals, e.g. to optimise campaigns, procedures and sales, both offline and online, via the Website and/or Applications.

Example: if you have not completely gone through a procedure or the rental process, we can contact you to determine what went wrong and whether we can help you. In such case we will limit our contacts to technical and administrative support for the specific procedure of the specific process.

With an eye on the recruitment of new employees Coolworld Rentals collects Personal Data such as, inter alia, the name, the e-mail address, the telephone number, information about the career, the URL to social media in the framework of both spontaneous and directed job applications of persons applying for a job, an international internship or a student trainee position.

10. Further changes to this policy relating to data protection

Coolworld is continually striving to improve the protection of Personal Data provided to it. This Data Protection Policy can be altered or updated by future legislation, at international, European and national level.

Coolworld will keep you abreast of all essential changes in this Data Protection Policy, both offline and online (e.g. via the Website, upon your first visit or upon any update of this Data Protection Policy).

The most recent version of our Data Protection Policy is always available on:

https://www.coolworld-rentals.com/privacy-policy 

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:

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.

Frequency: 2x a year at the postal address specified by you.

Contents: Coolworld Rentals is constantly on the move. In a spring and autumn edition of our house magazine we are proud to show what we have been able to do for customers at home and abroad. Coolworld Rentals magazine provides an inside look at our business, ranging from interesting project reports to new rental solutions and developments.

Opting out: send an e-mail to marketing@coolworld-rentals.com and state in the e-mail your postal details and contact person to which the opt-out applies.

Registering: Vice versa send an e-mail to marketing@coolworld-rentals.com and state in the e mail your postal details to which the registration applies.

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. Do you have objections of any kind, do you wish to opt out of notifications, has your situation changed or do you want to inspect your personal data that we are keeping? Send an e-mail with your request to privacy@coolworld-rentals.com or contact your local Coolworld Rentals contact person.
