  • Contact details (e.g., name, email, phone) when you fill out a form or contact us
  • Business details (e.g., company name, VAT number, billing details if relevant)

Sensitive and/or Special Personal Data We Process
Our website and services are not intended to collect personal information from visitors under the age of 16 without parental or guardian consent. However, we cannot verify the age of every visitor. We encourage parents to actively participate in their children’s online activities to help prevent the collection of personal data from minors without permission. If you believe that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child without such consent, please contact us at info@xycle.com, and we will promptly delete the information.

Why do we use your data?
We use your personal data for:

  • Responding to your questions or requests
  • Providing our services and managing our business relationship
  • Improving our website and services
  • Sending you updates or offers (only with your consent)
  • Complying with legal obligations

Legal bases
We process your data only when we have a legal ground under the GDPR, such as:

  • Your consent (e.g., newsletter sign-up, cookie use)
  • Contract performance (if you request a service)
  • Legitimate interests (e.g., website security, service improvements)
  • Legal obligations (e.g., record keeping)

Who do we share data with?
We only share data with trusted service providers (e.g., hosting, IT support) who process data on our behalf under strict agreements. We never sell your personal data.

These cookies may track activity across multiple websites and are placed by Xycle or third-party providers. Your consent is required for tracking cookies. You can adjust your preferences through the website’s cookie banner or disable cookies in your browser settings

How long do we keep your data?
We keep your data only as long as necessary for the purpose it was collected, or as required by Dutch law (for example, financial records for 7 years).
