What we collect

When you submit the challenge form on this page, we collect:

  • Full name
  • Work email address
  • Company name (optional)
  • Phone number (optional)
  • The description of your supply chain challenge
  • Whether you opted in to receive newsletter updates

Why we process it, and on what basis

Responding to your challenge

We use your name, email, company, phone, and challenge description to review what you’ve shared and reply with a practical next step, usually within 48 hours. This processing is necessary to take steps at your request, prior to and in providing the response you asked for (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).

Newsletter updates

If you separately tick the newsletter checkbox on the form, we’ll also use your email to send occasional updates. This is based on your explicit consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you can withdraw at any time — see “Your rights” below. No newsletter tool is active yet; opting in currently only records your preference for when one is set up.

How long we keep it

We keep challenge-submission data for 12 months from your last contact with us, after which it’s deleted unless a longer retention is required by law. If you’ve opted in to the newsletter, we keep your email for that purpose until you withdraw consent.

Who else sees it

We don’t sell your data. It’s shared only with the processors that run this page:

  • Vercel Inc. — hosts this page. Form submissions are handled in its Frankfurt (EU) region; Vercel is a US company and relies on standard contractual clauses for any transfer outside the EU.
  • Microsoft (Microsoft 365: SharePoint and Outlook) — used to store form submissions in our company account and to email our team a notification when you submit the form.
  • A newsletter tool, once one is chosen — this section will be updated first.

We don’t currently have confirmation of every processor’s exact data-processing region. Until that’s confirmed, treat this section as reflecting our best current understanding rather than a final legal determination.

Your rights

Under GDPR, you have the right to:

  • access the data we hold about you;
  • have inaccurate data corrected;
  • have your data erased;
  • receive your data in a portable format;
  • object to processing based on our legitimate interest;
  • withdraw consent at any time, without affecting processing done before that;
  • lodge a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens), since ACE | APS Competence & Excellence B.V. is based in the Netherlands.

To exercise any of these rights, email andrei.nechiti@ace-scp.com.

Cookie Policy

This site doesn’t set any cookies of its own. Your cookie-preference choice is saved in your browser’s local storage, not a cookie, and never leaves your device.

We group any future cookie or similar technology into three categories:

  • Necessary — required for the site to function. None are currently in use beyond your saved preference itself.
  • Analytics — would help us understand how the page is used. No analytics tool is active yet.
  • Marketing — would support future campaign tracking. No marketing tool is active yet.

You can change your preference at any time using the “Cookie settings” link in the footer. When an analytics or marketing tool is added, this section will be updated with its name, purpose, and duration before it starts running.

Changes to this policy

We’ll update this page if what we collect, why, or who we share it with changes. Material changes will update the “Last updated” date above.
