Engyon Privacy Policy

Last updated: 26 June 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Engyon collects, uses and shares personal data when you visit our website, create an account or use our Service. It also explains the rights you have under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and how to exercise them.

Engyon processes personal data in two distinct roles:

  • As a controller for the data described in this Policy: data of website visitors, account holders, contacts and prospects.
  • As a processor for the data that our customers enter into the Engyon platform to carry out their financial audits and CSRD assurance work (client data). That processing is not governed by this Privacy Policy, but by the Data Processing Agreement (DPA) between Engyon and the relevant customer. See the section Engyon as a processor.

Controller

The controller for the processing described in this Policy is:

Engyon B.V.
Stationsplein 45 – 3.111, 3013 AK Rotterdam, The Netherlands
Chamber of Commerce (KvK) number: 94076987

Depending on your relationship with Engyon, we process the following categories of data:

  • Communication and support data: the content of your messages to us and our correspondence with you.

Our Service is aimed at business users. We do not collect special categories of personal data through the Website.

Cookies and tracking technologies

We use cookies and similar techniques to make the Website function, remember your preferences and analyse usage. For cookies other than strictly necessary ones, we ask for your prior consent through our cookie banner. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time via the cookie settings on the Website.

We currently place the following cookies and services:

Service Provider Category Purpose Consent Retention
Cookie consent (CMP) Engyon Strictly necessary Remembering your cookie choice No approx. 12 months
Session and security cookies Engyon Strictly necessary Logging in, session management and security No Session
Google Tag Manager Google Functional Managing scripts and tags on the Website No Does not set cookies itself
Google Fonts Google Functional Correct display of fonts No -
Google CDN Google Content Delivery Network Faster and reliable loading of website content No -
Google Analytics 4 Google Analytics Measuring visits to and use of the Website Yes up to 24 months (_ga)

We place analytics cookies only after you have given your consent. In doing so, Google Analytics may process data, including your IP address, to Google; see the section International transfers.

Marketing

If you are an Engyon customer, we may email you about similar services, product updates and relevant news, on the basis of our legitimate interest. If you are not a customer, we do so only with your consent. In both cases:

  • every email contains an unsubscribe link allowing you to opt out directly and free of charge;
  • we do not sell your data and do not use it for third-party advertising.

Disclosure to third parties and sub-processors

We do not sell your personal data. We do engage carefully selected sub-processors that process data on our instructions and under our direction, such as our hosting provider (AWS), email and communication provider, payment service provider, and support and analytics tooling. We enter into data processing agreements with these parties and remain responsible for their conduct.

The current list of approved sub-processors is publicly available at https://trust.engyon.eu/subprocessors. We inform our customers of new sub-processors in accordance with the DPA.

In addition, we may share data where legally required, in response to a request from a competent authority, or in the context of a business transfer; in the latter case we will notify you before your data becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

International transfers

We process your personal data within the European Economic Area (EEA). Our Service is hosted on the infrastructure of Amazon Web Services in Frankfurt (Germany) and in the Netherlands.

Where a sub-processor processes data outside the EEA, we ensure an adequate level of protection, for example on the basis of an adequacy decision by the European Commission or the Standard Contractual Clauses with additional safeguards. For example, our analytics provider (Google) may transfer data to the United States; this only happens after you have given consent and on the basis of the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and, where necessary, the Standard Contractual Clauses. You may request information from us about the safeguards applied.

Retention periods

We do not retain your personal data longer than necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or as long as legally required.

Category Retention period
Account and profile data For as long as the account is active; thereafter deleted in accordance with the agreement and the DPA
Client data in the platform Retrievable up to 60 days after termination; thereafter securely deleted (in accordance with the DPA)
Billing and administrative data 7 years (statutory tax retention obligation)
Communication and support data 24 months after handling
Data of prospects / leads Until consent is withdrawn, or 18 months after the last contact
Usage and log data 12 months, unless longer is needed for security
Cookie data In accordance with the lifespan of each cookie (see cookie table)

Security

The security of your data is important to us. Our Service runs on AWS infrastructure and Engyon is ISO/IEC 27001 certified. We take appropriate technical and organisational measures, including encryption of data, access control, multi-factor authentication (MFA) and regular security assessments. Personnel with access to personal data are bound by confidentiality. An overview of our security measures (Information Security Overview) is available on request. However, no method of transmission or storage is entirely secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.

In the event of a data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will report it to the Dutch Data Protection Authority within 72 hours and, where required, to you.

Your rights

Under the GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

  • Access to the data we process about you;
  • Rectification of inaccurate or incomplete data;
  • Erasure of your data ('right to be forgotten');
  • Restriction of processing;
  • Objection to processing based on a legitimate interest, and to direct marketing;
  • Portability of the data you have provided yourself (data portability);
  • Withdrawal of consent, without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.

You can exercise your rights by contacting us at info@engyon.eu. We will in principle respond within one month. To handle your request, we may ask you to confirm your identity.

If you disagree with how we handle your data, you can lodge a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens, www.autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl).

Automated decision-making

In the context of this Privacy Policy, we do not take decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affect you.

Engyon as a processor

When our customers enter client data into the Engyon platform for the purpose of financial audits and CSRD assurance, Engyon acts as a processor and the customer as the controller. This typically concerns data of the customer's employees, contractors and clients, such as names, contact details and employment data.

Engyon processes that data only in accordance with the customer's documented instructions and the terms of the DPA. Engyon does not use client data for its own purposes and does not use it to train AI models outside the Engyon software. Data breaches are reported to the relevant customer within 24 hours. Following termination of the agreement, entered data can be retrieved for up to 60 days, after which it is securely deleted.

If your request concerns data entered into the platform by a customer, please contact that customer as the controller.

Children's privacy

Our Service is not directed at persons under the age of 16, and we do not knowingly collect their data. If you believe we have collected data from a minor without the required consent, please contact us so that we can delete it.

Links to other websites

Our Service may contain links to third-party websites. We have no control over, and accept no responsibility for, the content and privacy policies of those websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of every site you visit.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the 'Last updated' date at the top of this page and, for significant changes, notify you by email or through a prominent notice in the Service. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically.
