1General provisions
WTW Store, the operator of the website www.wtwstore.com, attaches great importance to
protecting your privacy. We handle all personal data you provide to us with care and process it in
accordance with applicable privacy legislation in the Netherlands.
This privacy statement applies to all visits to our website, all orders placed via our webshop,
and all forms of contact with WTW Store.
2What personal data we process and why
Through the website www.wtwstore.com, various types of personal data may be collected
and processed. This happens partly automatically when you visit our website and partly when you enter
data yourself, for example via a form or during the checkout process.
2.1 Data collected automatically
On each visit to the website, we may process, among other things, the following data:
- IP address of your internet connection;
- Device type, operating system and browser used;
- Pages visited on our website and the time of the visit;
- The website through which you arrived at www.wtwstore.com.
This data is used to ensure the website functions properly, for security purposes, and to analyze and
improve our site.
2.2 Data you provide to us
We also process personal data that you provide to us, for example:
- Name and address details;
- Company name and VAT number (for business orders);
- Email address and phone number;
- Order details (products, amounts, chosen payment and shipping method);
- Any information you enter in a contact form or order notes.
We use this data for the following purposes, among others:
- Answering your questions and providing information or quotations;
- Processing your order and delivering products;
- Creating and managing a customer account (if applicable);
- Complying with legal (tax) obligations, such as record-keeping requirements.
2.3 Legal bases
We always process personal data on the basis of one or more of the following legal bases:
- Performance of a contract (e.g., to process your order);
- Legal obligation (e.g., statutory tax retention);
- Legitimate interest (e.g., securing our systems or improving the website);
- Consent (e.g., when you explicitly agree to certain cookies or the use of a form).
3Retention periods of personal data
We do not retain your personal data longer than necessary for the purposes for which it was collected,
unless we are legally required to retain data for a longer period (for example under tax legislation).
In general, we use the following retention periods:
-
Order and invoice data: at least 7 years after the end of the relevant
financial year, due to statutory tax retention requirements.
-
Customer account data: as long as your account is active. If you request deletion of your
account, we delete or anonymize the related data insofar as we are not required to retain it under legal
obligations (such as tax retention).
-
Contact requests (email, contact form): up to 24 months after the last
correspondence, so we can refer back to previous communication if you contact us again.
-
Technical log and security data: generally up to 12 months, unless a
longer period is necessary for investigating misuse or security incidents.
-
Analytics data (e.g., Google Analytics 4): in the analytics tool we generally do not retain
this longer than 14 months, in line with the configured retention period.
After retention periods expire, personal data is deleted or, where possible, anonymized so it can no longer be
linked to you as an individual.
4Cookies and data collection via our website
Our website uses cookies and similar techniques to function properly, improve the user experience, gather
statistics, and—where applicable—optimize marketing campaigns.
4.1 What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file that is stored on your computer, tablet, or smartphone when you visit our
website. Cookies allow the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as language settings or the
contents of your shopping cart) for a certain period of time.
You can manage or delete cookies yourself via your browser settings. If you block all cookies, the website may
function less well and some services or features may not be (fully) available.
4.2 Types of cookies based on duration
- Session cookies: temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies: cookies that remain on your device for a longer period or until you
delete them manually. The exact duration depends on the cookie and your browser settings.
4.3 Analytics and statistics (Google Analytics)
We use Google Analytics 4 to collect anonymized statistics about how our website is used.
This service uses cookies to measure, among other things:
- Which pages are visited and for how long;
- Which channels visitors use to reach the website;
- Which devices and browsers are used.
This information helps us improve the website. Where possible, we configure Google Analytics so IP addresses
are anonymized and no unnecessary data is collected.
4.4 Advertising (Google Ads)
Via Google Ads, we may reach visitors who have shown interest in our products again with
relevant advertisements. This may mean that after visiting our website you see an ad from WTW Store on other
websites or in Google search results.
4.5 Forms on the website

these forms, the data you enter (such as name, contact details, company name, and order details) is processed to:

- Create or manage a customer account (if applicable).
This data is only stored if you actually submit the form and agree to the privacy policy.
