Data controller: HUMMINK, 5 rue Charlot, 75003 PARIS, is the data controller for the personal data collected through this Site.

What data we collect: When you use the contact form on this Site, submit a lead form on this Site or on a third-party advertising platform (e.g. LinkedIn Ads, Google Ads), we collect: name, email address, phone number (optional), company name, job title, and the content of your message or request, as well as your selected appointment date/time where applicable. We may also collect technical data (browser type, pages visited, time spent) via cookies. See our Cookies Policy below.

Why we collect it:

  • To respond to your inquiries and requests (demo requests, technical questions, general contact) – based on our legitimate interest in responding to prospective and existing customers.
  • To send you commercial information about our products and technology, only if you have explicitly opted in via the consent checkbox – based on your consent.
  • To improve the Site and understand how it is used – based on our legitimate interest, or your consent where required for non-essential cookies.
  • To process and follow up on leads generated through our advertising campaigns on third-party platforms – based on our legitimate interest in developing our business.

Note: for leads collected via advertising platforms, that platform may also act as an independent data controller for its own purposes (e.g. ad performance and targeting) – please refer to its own privacy policy for that processing.We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
