In order to improve our services and content, we collect the following information: information about your device (operating system, browser type, screen resolution), your geographical location (in order to detect your preferred language and offer local content) and your IP-address (in case of error logging). We also make use of cookies to personalize your visits to our website. These cookies help us remember your settings, such as your preferred language.

All Enersee related websites are connected to Google Analytics. This tool collects the above mentioned data and aggregates it into statistical (non-personal) insights about the use of our websites.
If you contact us through our website, we collect the data you choose to provide: name, email, company, country, telephone number, message. This makes sure that we can deliver a high quality customer service and response to your inquiry. If you choose to subscribe to our newsletters, we hold on to your email address, until you choose to opt-out.
Data we collect not only helps us to deliver a high quality service and personalised user experience on a daily basis, it is also essential for you, as a user, to get the most out of Enersee.
The collected information is primarily used to maintain a proper technical functioning of the platform and ensure a high level of security of your data and files.
We need the following information: your name, email and password (which will be encrypted and never stored as plain text) to identify you. We also hold on to all other information either provided by you or your company (e.g. address, company, IBAN, VAT, …).
This information is either given by you during registration for our services or by the admin that invited you to sign up to the Eneos API.
As a registered user, if you do not object to it at the time of collection, we may also use your information for our own marketing and promotional purposes. For example, we may use it to send you newsletters, special offers, and promotions, or to otherwise inform you about important updates to our platform and services.
2. Why do we collect personal data?
In order to clearly inform you about why and how we collect personal data, it is important to know the difference between a data controller and a data processor:
- A data controller is a person or business who determines the purposes for which, and the way in which, personal data is processed.
- A data processor is anyone who processes personal data on behalf of the data controller.
Enersee is a data controller only for the processing of personal information for its own purposes. This involves improvement of our online services, customer support and management, invoicing and marketing.
An overview of why we collect data:
- Security: identification of users. We need to guarantee that our users have access to their own private account on our platform (and theirs alone).
- Personalised experience: all kinds of settings (e.g.: layout and language), content related to your location or preferences, personalised support.
- Personalised marketing offers.
- Improving our services by learning how you access and use our services.
- Analyse data for statistical reporting. In this case, data is not linked to your personal information.

All data that is collected by and processed by Enersee is stored on the Google Cloud Platform, with servers based in Belgium. Google Cloud Platform offers a high level of security that has earned them multiple certifications: • ISO
