Why do we process the personal data?

Thalassa processes personal data for the following purposes:

  1. Administration and services
    In our administration, we keep records of (potential) customers and suppliers of Thalassa, including the relevant contact persons. For the contact persons, we collect personal data for optimum realization of our services. We collect contact details to be able to reach and serve you.
    You can reach Thalassa via different channels: By telephone, mail, e-mail, and Social Media. To make this possible, we need to process personal data, too.
  2. Marketing & Acquisition
    We also process personal data for Thalassa campaigns. For example IP address, cookie ID, social ID and/or surfing behaviour. We do so to be able to show the most relevant adverts in the correct places.
    For Thalassa (and related campaigns) we also use ‘customized target groups’ via social media platforms. We do so via Facebook and possibly Instagram targeting. These platforms offer the possibility to show (personalized) adverts. We do not provide personal data to third parties for this purpose, unless you have given explicit permission for this.
    If you do not want to see adverts via these platforms, you can let us know via the above contact details. You can also unsubscribe from these platforms. To find out how to do so, read the following page by clicking on the relevant link:

Please note: It is possible that you continue to see Thalassa adverts after unsubscribing if you are part of the general target group of our adverts.

  1. Improved Thalassa services
    We also collect personal data to improve our service. For example, clicking behaviour on the website, to analyse which articles are read most, and open rates to determine whether our (future) newsletters are regarded as relevant.
