This includes, but not exclusively, information such as name, address, user name, company name, e-mail address and telephone number, but also other information such as IP address, information about the business sector, and so on.
The kind of information we collect is dependent on the context of your interactions with us, the method of contact and the information provided by you.
Following personal data may be processed by us:
• Data provided by you when placing an order (whether or not via the webshop http://shop.extremis.com), when obtaining a quote, by filling in the contact form on the website, when registering for the newsletter, when visiting our offices or exhibition stand, when exchanging a business card or any other form of contact (e.g. by telephone, e-mail, mail) or that are obtained through another way, for example through a public source:

These data is collected with a view to prospects, customers, and supplier management, the processing of orders and deliveries, including the preparation of a quote, delivery or order form, and with a view to general and financial administration. This information may also be used for marketing purposes.
The legal basis for the processing of this personal data is the (potential) performance of a contract. Providing Extremis with the abovementioned personal data is a necessary condition to contact Extremis and, where appropriate, to conclude an contract.

When the data is used solely to communicate with the employees of Extremis, the legal basis for this process is the legitimate interest to create high quality customer service and product support.
When the personal data may also be used for marketing purposes the legal basis is either the legitimate interest of Extremis to inform the existing customers of similar products, or consent given by you to receive marketing information.
If there would be any processing of special categories of personal data the legal basis is the express consent of the person concerned to process this data for specified purposes.
• Data received via a job application:
a. Academic curriculum
b. Professional experience
c. Publications and/or portfolio
d. Membership of/participation in professional organisations

When the Curriculum Vitae would contain special categories of personal information (such as nationality, health data, criminal data, national register number, information on the sexual life, political opinions, membership of a trade union…) then the legal basis for the processing is permission from you to process this information.
