PRIVACY STATEMENT

If you use our website, we collect data from your visit to our website. This can be personal data. At Amefa we respect the privacy of our customers and visitors to our website. Below we explain how we collect your information, what we do with this information and what rights you have to check this.

 

WHO ARE WE AND WHAT DO WE DO?

By "we" in this statement we mean Amefa USA, represented by Amefa B.V. Boogschutterstraat 52, 7324 BA Apeldoorn, The Netherlands.

 

At Amefa we know everything about cooking and flatware. We specialize in the marketing and distribution of flatware and stainless-steel products for both the table and in the kitchen.

 

The Amefa Group has 7 sales locations: in the Netherlands, Germany, France, England, the United States, Poland and Hong Kong. From these locations we export to more than 65 countries worldwide, both to customers in the Retail sector and in Foodservice. In addition to the Amefa brand (flatware and related cooking and table items), the Amefa Group has the Couzon brands (flatware and table products), Richardson Sheffield (kitchen knives), Lou Laguiole (flatware and steak knives), Cuisinox (pans), Medard de Noblat (porcelain), Sabatier Trumpet (kitchen knives), Paul Wirths (flatware), Kuppels (flatware and related cooking and table items) and BRK (flatware).

 

At Amefa we respect the privacy of our customers and visitors of our website, and we take our task to treat your personal information with care very seriously. Our privacy statement explains how we collect, use and protect your data.

 

This document is dynamic and can be adjusted when something changes in the way we collect data, so that you are always up to date.

 

WHAT PERSONAL DATA DO WE COLLECT?

If you use our website, we collect your data. This may be personal information that you share with us. This personal data can be names, e-mail addresses, address details or telephone numbers. This data is collected if you, for example, fill out a form on our website. This can be a contact form, a question form or a registration for the newsletter. We only collect the data we need to process your request as good as possible.

 

WHY DO WE NEED YOUR DATA?

We collect your personal data so that we can process your request, quotation, order, question or feedback as good as possible.

 

This information is needed to answer your question as good as possible, or to be able to offer a personal service. You are not required to leave your details on our website. If you do not provide any information, we may not be able to properly process your request.

 

We will not use your personal data for other purposes, unless you have given your prior consent, or we may or must do so by law.

 

GROUNDS OF JUSTIFIED INTEREST

Under the General Data Protection Regulation of Europe and The Netherlands (AVG), we only collect and process your data in a legally permitted manner. We do most of our data collection "on the grounds of legitimate interest". But what does this actually mean?

 

Broadly speaking, on the grounds of legitimate interest, we may only process your personal information if we have a good and justified reason, and if we do not harm your rights and interests in this.

 

So, if you share personal details with us, we will only use your information for a legitimate purpose. We will always consider the potential impact on your rights. A few examples of the purposes for which we must process your data:

 

  • Improve, adapt, personalize or otherwise optimize our service and communication. Consider making a contract (based on an order).
  • If you have registered for our newsletter, we will send from time to time information that you may find interesting, for example to inform you about new products or trade shows and events that you may find interesting.
  • If you place an order online or order something by telephone or via our website, we will save your details. To process an order, we must save your payment details and your personal details: think of your name, delivery address and telephone details.
  • If you complete our contact form, we will save your details so that we can process your request.
  • We do not use your data for creating a personal profile or for automated individual push messages. We do not sell or rent your data to third parties, and we will not share your data with third parties unless otherwise specified.

 

We do not keep your data longer than necessary, and you always have the right to request your data from us and have it deleted. If you want to contact us about this, you can do this via our contact form. Note that if you ask us if we want to delete your data, this may have consequences for the possibility for us to process and fulfil your request.

 

HOW WE COLLECT YOUR DATA

We collect personal information in different ways:

 

  • If you give us your details (for example via the contact form)
  • If you have given permission to other organizations to share this data with us (for example, social media)
  • If you have given us permission to follow your visit to our website
  • We combine the information from these sources with the information that you provide to us directly. We do not keep personal data longer than necessary to answer your question.
