Who are we

We are Referro: we advise, execute and implement (parts of) B2B marketing activities commissioned by our clients, both on a strategical, tactical or execution level. This privacy statement relates to all our processings – including third parties we cooperate with to inform you about our products and services.

Wich personal dateils do we process?

We process the following personal details: Initials, first and last name, telephone number and/or mobile phone number, gender, (business) email address, job role, IP address, cookie ID and clicking and browsing behavior on www.referro.nl. We do not process any special or sensitive personal details.

Why do we process personal details?
We process personal details based on the following foundations and objectives:

1. Foundation: Necessary to execute an agreement.
   • Goal: Meet legal requirements.
   • Initials, first and last name are legally required to meet our tax liability (quotes, invoices).

2. Foundation: Justified marketing interest.

Objective 1: execute marketing (direct marketing, telemarketing, social media marketing) to reach our business objectives. We do this to inform the right person with the right information at the right time.

Our CRM system contains data of customers and prospects, which might be interesting for our services, along with the relevant contacts. We store various personal details of those contacts to be able to execute our services properly. We store personal details to reach you and we store your interest areas to inform you properly.

Apart from that we move along with our industry: that is why we acquire new customers, suppliers and new colleagues or partners. To keep in touch with each and everyone, we process their contact details and interest areas as well.

We process your personal details to enable you to reach us via, for instance, telephone, mail, email or social media.

We use “segmented target audiences” via social media platforms. We do this via Facebook, Twitter and via Linkedin targeting. Personalized ads can be shown on these platforms. We do not pass along any personal details to third parties, unless you gave your unambiguous consent.

If you don’t want to see our ads on these platforms, you can reach out to us using the contact details above. You can also unsubscribe you from retargeting and ads on the platform itself. You can read how to do this on the following pages:

• Facebook
• LinkedIn
• Twitter

Pay attention: it could be the case that you still see Referro ads because you meet criteria of a general target audience we point our ads to, but these are not based on retargeting anymore.

Objective 2: to improve our services.

We store personal details for the improvement of our services. For instance clicking behavior on the website to analyse which articles, pages, whitepapers, infographics and case studies are being read the most and open and click rates to see if our newsletters and other emails are relevant.

3. Foundation: Consent

Objective: execution of marketing (email marketing) to reach our business objectives. We do this to inform the right person with the right information at the right time.

If you do not want to receive any of our newsletters or emails anymore, you can unsubscribe at the bottom of an email.

These parties process personal details in accordance with the assignment of Referro B2B Marketing.

Sometimes we are required by law to pass personal details to third parties: like the Tax authorities. Otherwise we will only pass along personal details if you gave your consent.

We use various systems to execute our marketing activities at maximum. Here are the appropriate storage periods:

• Smartsupp: 14 days after the conversation. Data is stored in Czech Republic (within EU borders).

If it turns out that a person has quit their job and no longer has a relevant role within that particular company, this will be adjusted in the system and after one year this data will be fully deleted. After this the data will be available for one month in backups. After that the data will be deleted completely. Data is being stored in The Netherlands (within EU borders).
