  • From publicly available business and professional sources, such as company websites and professional profiles

  • From reputable business data providers and prospecting platforms

  • Through service providers used to operate our website, communications, scheduling and sales activities

Where personal data has not been obtained directly from you, MeetQualified seeks to use business-related information that is relevant to your professional role.

5. Legal basis for processing

Depending on the circumstances, we process personal data on one or more of the following legal bases:

Legitimate interests. We may process relevant professional and business contact information where this is necessary for our legitimate business interests, including B2B business development, responding to business enquiries, operating and improving our services, and communicating with organisations that may reasonably be interested in MeetQualified.

When relying on legitimate interests, we consider the nature of the information, the context in which it is used and the rights and reasonable expectations of the individuals concerned.

Contractual necessity. Where you or your organisation becomes a client, we may process personal data where necessary to provide our services or take steps requested before entering into an agreement.

Legal obligations. We may process information where necessary to comply with applicable laws and regulatory requirements.

Consent. Where required by law, we may rely on your consent. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time.

6. B2B outreach and your right to object

MeetQualified may contact professionals where we reasonably believe our services could be relevant to their organisation or professional responsibilities.

You have the right to object at any time to the use of your personal data for direct marketing.

If you do not wish to receive further outreach from MeetQualified, you can reply to any communication asking us to stop or contact hello@meetqualified.com.

We will honour such requests and will no longer use your personal data for direct marketing. We may retain limited information necessary to record and respect your preference not to be contacted again.

7. Who may receive your data?

We may use trusted service providers to help operate MeetQualified, including providers of:

  • Website hosting and infrastructure

  • Business email and communications

  • Meeting scheduling

  • CRM and sales tools

  • Business data and prospecting services

  • Analytics and website performance tools

  • IT, security and cloud infrastructure

These providers may process personal data on our behalf or, in some circumstances, act as independent data controllers under their own privacy policies.

We do not sell personal data.

8. International data transfers

Some of the service providers we use may process personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA), including in the United States.

Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for international transfers, such as adequacy decisions, the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses, or other legally recognised transfer mechanisms.

9. How long do we keep personal data?

We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including business, legal, accounting and compliance purposes.

The appropriate retention period depends on the nature of the information and our relationship with you.

Where you object to direct marketing, we may retain the minimum information necessary to maintain a suppression record so that your preference can be respected in the future.

  • Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent

  • Lodge a complaint with a data protection authority

To exercise any of these rights, contact hello@meetqualified.com.

If you are located in Belgium, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Belgian Data Protection Authority.

11. Cookies and website analytics

MeetQualified may use essential technologies required for the website to function and may use analytics technologies to understand how visitors use the website.

Where consent is legally required for non-essential cookies or similar technologies, these technologies will only be used after the required consent has been obtained.

12. Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.

No internet-based service can guarantee absolute security, but we aim to use services and practices appropriate to the nature of the information we process.
