Last Update: 14 October 2021
Hatch B.V., A J Ernststraat 5, 1083 GP Amsterdam, the Netherlands (“Hatch”, “we” or “us”), provides services and technology to companies with the goal to list the appropriate online merchants in relation to a specific product or service. This enables web-based commerce solutions to make it easy for online shoppers to find and buy products whether they originate from retailer websites, manufacturer websites, destination shopping sites, or mobile shopping applications.
We are committed to protecting the privacy of the personal information collected and processed by us. Compliant privacy and data security practices have therefore become integral components of our Services, governance, accountability and risk management. We therefore process only such personal information as is necessary for the provision of the relevant Hatch Products & Services.
Please read this Privacy Statement carefully so that you understand how we collect and use your personal data.
Website visitors/users (“Website Visitors”);
Business Clients (“Clients”);
Business Relations (“Retailers”, “Agencies”); (Individually and collectively also referred to as “you”)
We collect and use your personal information through our Where to Buy solutions (“Products & Services”, “Services”) and through our website(s) (“Website Visitors”).
In the case that Clients or retailers have access to personal information through their own platform(s), the Client or retailer is the data controller responsible for the processing and use thereof. This Statement does not apply to the processing and use of personal data by Clients or retailers.
Hatch collects two kinds of information: anonymous and personal data. Anonymous information is not associated with specific individuals. For instance, Hatch may know how many unique browsers view this Privacy Statement today, but we don’t know the names, addresses or any other Personal Data of the individuals at that browser.
Personal Data reveals who you are and/or how you can be contacted. When you interact with us, we may receive and store data you choose to provide while using our general website. We use the information that you provide for such purposes as:
We may also receive and store data whenever you interact with us or our website through cookies and similar technologies (Please also read section 2.5 ‘Cookies and Similar Technologies’).
The Hatch solution does not use cookies or store any personal data to measure conversion between platforms. When a visitor opens a Channel Buy Link page and clicks on a retailer link, the visitor is transferred through an in-between page from Hatch to the retailer website where the anonymised session is recognized. Personal data processed during this session is the IP address which upon gateway entry is immediately encrypted and anonymised into a session key and removed. Henceforth no personal data is processed.
Hatch typically provides sales tracking insights to its customers through a cookie-less tracking method involving consent given by the visitor on the retail partner website to trigger a pixel. This pixel will only provide the information to match the sale to the session key and cannot be tracked back to an individual.
In addition, an individual is always offered the opportunity to submit a SAR (Subject Access Request) with Hatch, pertaining to any data that might be related directly or indirectly to the individual. In the case that a client has chosen not to use any in-between page, Hatch cannot offer the SAR directly and the visitor would need to contact the brand to submit such request.
You can choose to create an online Hatch Dashboard account to get access to the performance insights of your implemented Where to Buy solution.

To be able to tailor the communications to your preferences and behavior and provide you with the best, personalized experience, we may analyze and combine all information associated with your account data and data about your interactions with Hatch.
