Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 2026

At 3MMCShop.nl, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting personal information processed through our website. This Privacy Policy explains what information we may collect, why we process it, how long it may be retained, and the rights available to you under applicable privacy legislation, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR/AVG).

1. Who We Are

3MMCShop.nl is a website intended for legitimate professional, scientific, analytical and laboratory-related activities.

Data Controller:
Name:3MMCShop NL
Email: sales@3mmcshop.nl

2. Information We May Collect

Depending on how you interact with our website, we may process information including:

  • Name and contact information

  • Company or laboratory name

  • Billing and business address

  • Email address and telephone number

  • Account information

  • Order and transaction records

  • Customer-support correspondence

  • Technical information such as IP address, browser type and device information

  • Cookie and website-usage information

  • Business or laboratory verification information where legally necessary

We only request information reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.

3. Why We Process Personal Data

Personal information may be processed to:

  • Operate and secure our website;

  • Respond to enquiries;

  • Create and administer customer accounts;

  • Process legitimate business transactions;

  • Provide customer support;

  • Maintain accounting and administrative records;

  • Prevent fraud, abuse and unauthorized activity;

  • Verify professional or organizational information where required;

  • Comply with applicable legal and regulatory obligations; and

  • Establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

Depending on the circumstances, processing may be based on performance of a contract, compliance with a legal obligation, our legitimate interests, or your consent.

4. Professional and Regulatory Verification

Where applicable, customers may be asked to provide information necessary to establish their identity, organization, professional status or authorization to acquire particular materials.

Any such verification process is separate from statements such as “research use only.” A product description or website disclaimer does not replace any authorization required under applicable law.

We aim to limit verification information to what is reasonably necessary and retain it only for an appropriate period.

5. Orders and Payments

When transactions are available through the website, information necessary to administer an order may be processed by us and relevant service providers.

Payment providers may process financial information independently under their own privacy policies. We do not claim to store complete payment-card information unless our actual payment infrastructure does so.

6. Cookies

Our website may use essential cookies required for security, shopping-cart functionality, account management and other core website features.

With appropriate consent, we may also use analytics or other optional technologies to understand how visitors interact with the website.

Where required by law, non-essential cookies will not be activated until you provide consent.

You can withdraw or modify your cookie choices through the website’s cookie settings where available.

7. Sharing Personal Information

We may share personal information with service providers where reasonably necessary, such as:

  • Website and hosting providers

  • Payment processors

  • Accounting providers

  • IT and security providers

  • Professional advisers

  • Delivery or logistics providers, where applicable

Information may also be disclosed to regulators, courts, law-enforcement authorities or other competent authorities where disclosure is legally required.

We do not sell personal information to third parties for their independent marketing purposes.

8. International Data Transfers

Some technology or service providers may process information outside the European Economic Area.

Where GDPR requirements apply, appropriate safeguards should be used for international transfers, such as an adequacy decision or approved contractual safeguards.

9. Data Retention

Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and to satisfy applicable legal, accounting, regulatory and security requirements.

Different categories of information may therefore have different retention periods.

10. Data Security

Reasonable technical and organizational measures are used to protect personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, loss, disclosure or destruction.

However, no internet-based system can guarantee absolute security.

11. Your GDPR Rights

Subject to the conditions established by applicable law, you may have the right to:

  • Access your personal information;

  • Correct inaccurate information;

  • Request deletion of information;

  • Restrict certain processing;

  • Object to certain processing;

  • Receive certain information in a portable format;

  • Withdraw consent where processing depends upon consent; and

  • Lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority.

In the Netherlands, the supervisory authority is the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens (Dutch Data Protection Authority).

12. Children’s Privacy

This website and its professional services are not directed toward children.

We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children through services intended exclusively for professional or laboratory customers.

13. Third-Party Websites

Our website may contain links to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of independent third parties.

Visitors should review the privacy policies of external websites before providing personal information to them.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our website, processing activities, service providers or applicable requirements change.

The latest version will be published on this page together with an updated revision date.
