Last updated: 22 October 2026 · [TBD: draft – to be reviewed by legal counsel before publication]

1. Who we are

HBS Solutions B.V. (Koperstraat 1, 1362 JB Almere, the Netherlands; Chamber of Commerce 34134352) is the controller for the personal data processed through hbsfasteners.nl. Questions about this policy can be sent to sales@hbssolutions.nl.

2. What data we collect

When you request a quote, ask for a call back, request B2B access or contact us, we process the data you provide: name, company, business email address, phone number, KvK or VAT number, your message and any files you upload (such as parts lists or drawings). For B2B accounts we also process login data. Our website collects technical data such as IP address and browser type to keep the site secure and working.

3. Why we use your data

We use your data to answer your question, prepare and send quotes, call you back, set up and manage your B2B account, deliver orders and certificates, and keep our website secure. We do not sell your data and do not use it for automated decision-making.

5. How long we keep your data

Quote and call-back requests that do not lead to an order are kept for up to 24 months. Customer, order and invoice data are kept for 7 years to meet Dutch fiscal retention requirements. B2B account data is deleted within 3 months after the account is closed, unless a longer retention period is required by law.

6. Who we share data with

We use carefully selected processors to run our website and services, including hosting, database and email providers. They only process data on our instructions under a data processing agreement. If you contact us via WhatsApp, WhatsApp's own privacy terms apply to that conversation. Where data is processed outside the European Economic Area, we use appropriate safeguards such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

7. Your rights

You have the right to access, rectify or erase your personal data, to restrict or object to processing, and to data portability. To exercise these rights, email sales@hbssolutions.nl. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens).

8. Cookies

We only use cookies and similar technologies that are needed for the website to work and to measure its performance without identifying you. We will ask for your consent before placing any other cookies. See our cookie policy for details.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when our services or the law change. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last updated.
