Your personal data is processed by and shared within the ACT group, in the manner described in this Privacy Statement.When this Privacy Notice mentions “ACT”, “we”, “us”, or “our”, ACT is referring to the ACT company that is deciding on the purposes and means of the processing of your personal data under this Privacy Statement. If you have any doubts about the respective ACT company controlling your personal data in a particular circumstance, please contact our ACT group central point of contact by means of the contact details provided in Section 7 of this Privacy Statement.This Privacy Statement sets out how we handle personal data, which we do with all possible care.
This Privacy Statement applies to the processing of personal data of our clients, prospective clients, applicants, and other people who visit our website (https://www.actcommodities.com/) or contact us.
Any processing of your personal data is subject to applicable requirements following from the Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data ProtectionRegulation)(“GDPR”)as well as the Dutch GDPR Implementation Act, and/or any applicable local personal data protection laws and regulations (collectively referred to as the “Data Protection Laws”).
Personal data of (contacts at) clients
We process the contact details (name, company name, phone number, email) of our contacts at our clients to execute orders for our clients, and to contact these people in the context thereof. We also use these details to bill our activities. The contacts' data processed is legally based on ACT’s legitimate interest (as the contacts are, strictly speaking, no party to the contract between ACT and the clients). This is different for clients who are natural persons (e.g. self-employed workers without employees). The processing of their data is necessary in the context of executing the contract with the clients.
We record telephone conversations made in the trading room and made by the operations team of our Fuels department with contacts of clients in order to register proof of trades and to improve our services. This processing is necessary in view of ACT’s legitimate interest to be able to prove that an order was given for the transaction and to ensure the transparency of our communication with the clients.
We process the contact details (name, company name, telephone number, email) of contacts at prospective and former clients to contact them in order to offer our services to them, and to send them holiday wishes. We process this personal data in view of our legitimate interest to perform our activities and to obtain new orders. We also make use of publicly available sources to obtain the contact details of prospects.
If we are contacted via the contact form on our website, by email, social media or telephone, we process the data that is provided to us. This typically includes the name, email and telephone number and the content of the contact (e.g. a question). We use this information, where relevant, to contact the person concerned, for instance to answer a question. We may add this data to our prospects’ files (please see above). We process this personal data in view of our legitimate interest to perform our activities and to obtain new orders.
We process the personal data provided to us by prospective employees or obtained from a recruitment agency or via Linkedin. This may include contact and basic information (such as name, address, email, telephone number), recruitment information (such as resumé and CV and all information it contains) ), and information posted on Linkedin.
Finally, we process information about the visitors of our website (or rather about their mobile device), by placing cookies every time they visit our website. This information includes, for example, the pages you visit, the IP address of your device, the type of operating system you use, network information of your browser type, and traffic to and from our website. The legal basis for this is the consent we ask each visitor upon their first visit to our website (for non-privacy friendly and advertising cookies) and our legitimate interest (for functional and privacy friendly analytical cookies). You may withdraw your consent and/or object to the processing of your personal data on the basis of our legitimate interest, respectively, at any time. Please see our cookie statement for more information about the cookies we place.
In principle, we will retain your personal data no longer than necessary for the purpose(s) indicated in this Privacy Statement and in accordance with (local) legal obligations. Upon the expiration of a retention period, we will delete or anonymize your personal data, unless we have to retain the data for one or more other purposes. In that event, we will ensure that your personal data is only accessible for that other purpose.
As a rule, we keep the personal data of our contact persons at clients for two years after the final transaction with that client is completed. We keep our administration, including invoices and other documents that include the personal data of parties, for a period of seven years after the end of the financial year, in order to comply with our statutory retention obligation for tax purposes.
The recordings of conversations in the trading room are kept until the information is no longer required, usually once the trades are closed.
The personal data of prospects is deleted at the request of the data subject, or ultimately one year after the final communication with the person concerned.
We keep other contact details for one year after the final contact, or until you submit a request to us to delete them.
Information about applicants that are not hired are kept until four weeks after the end of the application process. If you have given your consent, your data will be stored for a period of one year, so that we can keep you in mind for future vacancies. These terms are necessary for us to evaluate the applicant’s application, to create a talent pool which is of great value to us and to possibly contact the applicant about future opportunities consistent with this Privacy Statement.
Personal data that we collect about you as a website visitor will not be kept longer than necessary. The applicable retention periods are indicated in our cookie statement.

We may require proof of your identity before providing the requested information.

- Right to erasure. You have the right to ask us to erase your personal data, for example where the personal data is no longer necessary for the original purpose for which they were collected, where personal data has become obsolete or where you withdraw your consent to the grounds on which data is processed. However, this will need to be balanced against other factors. For example, we may not be able to comply with your request due to certain legal or regulatory obligations.
- Right to restriction of processing. Under certain circumstances you are entitled to ask us to (temporarily) stop using your personal data, for example where you think that the personal data we hold about you may be inaccurate or where you think that we no longer need to use your personal data.
- Right to data portability. You may have the right to ask that we transfer personal data that you have provided to us to a third party of your choice. This right can only be exercised when you have provided the personal data to us, and when we are processing that data by automated means based on your consent or in order to perform our obligations under a contract with you.
- Right to object. You have the right to object to processing which is based on our legitimate interests. For purposes based on our legitimate interests, we will no longer process the personal data on that basis when you file an objection, unless we have a compelling legitimate ground for the processing.
- Rights relating to automated individual decision-making. You have the right not to be subjected to a decision based solely on automated decision-making, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you.

- Right to withdraw your consent. We may ask for your consent to process your personal data in specific cases. When we do this, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.
