Last updated: 28 August 2026
At Hoordad Energy, responsible use of data is part of responsible engineering.
This Privacy & Data Protection Policy explains what personal information we may collect through our website, why we use it, how long we retain it, who may receive it and the choices available to you.
It applies to visitors, professional contacts, prospective partners, pilot stakeholders and candidates using the Hoordad Energy website.

2. Data We Collect
We apply the principle of data minimisation and seek to collect only information that is relevant to the purpose for which it is provided.
Contact, business and pilot enquiries
When you contact Hoordad Energy, we may receive information such as your name, email address, organisation, professional role and the contents of your message, together with any information you voluntarily provide.
We use this information to respond to enquiries, understand potential business or technical needs, organise discussions, evaluate potential pilots and partnerships and manage professional relationships.
Depending on the context, this processing is based on steps taken at your request before entering into a potential contractual relationship or on Hoordad Energy's legitimate interest in conducting and developing its business activities and responding to professional enquiries.
Recruitment and careers
When you apply for a position through the Hoordad Energy Careers page, we may collect:
your full name, email address, telephone number, CV or résumé, cover letter, LinkedIn profile, professional experience, qualifications, availability, field or position of interest and any additional information included in your application.
This information is used exclusively to receive, review and manage applications, communicate with candidates and assess suitability for current opportunities.
Processing necessary to receive and assess an application may rely on pre-contractual measures taken at the candidate's request or another appropriate legal basis permitted under applicable data-protection law.
If we wish to retain an unsuccessful application for future opportunities beyond the immediate recruitment process, the candidate will be informed and the applicable legal basis and retention period will be respected.
We do not ask candidates to provide sensitive personal information that is unrelated to their ability to perform the relevant role.
Partner Access
Restricted sections of the website may be made available to authorised partners, investors or pilot stakeholders.
Where technically generated by the website or hosting environment, access-related information may include authentication information, session identifiers, IP addresses, device or browser information and technical logs.
This information may be processed where necessary to secure restricted content, authenticate authorised users, detect misuse and protect Hoordad Energy's systems, confidential information and legitimate business interests.
Technical and website data
When you visit the website, certain technical information may be processed automatically by the website infrastructure or hosting provider.
Depending on the website configuration, this can include browser type, device type, IP-related information, session information, requested pages, timestamps, technical errors and general website interaction data.
This information is used to operate and secure the website, maintain technical performance, identify errors and, where applicable, understand website usage through privacy-appropriate audience measurement.
3. Cookies and Similar Technologies
The website may use cookies or similar technologies that are necessary for core functionality, security, session management and user preferences.
Certain audience-measurement technologies may also be used where they are configured in accordance with applicable privacy requirements.
Cookies or other trackers requiring consent under applicable law will only be activated where the required consent has been obtained.
Where a cookie-preference mechanism is available, you may use it to accept, refuse or modify your choices.
If Hoordad Energy introduces additional analytics, advertising, embedded-media or third-party tracking technologies in the future, the applicable information and consent mechanism will be updated before such technologies are used where legally required.
4. Why We Process Personal Data
Personal data collected through this website may be processed to operate and secure the website; respond to enquiries; manage professional communications; explore commercial, industrial, research or pilot opportunities; evaluate job applications; manage restricted partner access; maintain records required for business or legal purposes; prevent abuse or security incidents; and comply with applicable legal obligations.
Hoordad Energy does not sell personal data.
We do not use information submitted through contact or career forms for unrelated advertising purposes without an appropriate legal basis.
5. Who May Access Your Data
Access to personal data is limited according to operational need.
Information may be accessible to authorised Hoordad Energy personnel involved in the relevant enquiry, partnership, pilot, recruitment process, website administration or security activity.
Personal data may also be processed by service providers acting on behalf of Hoordad Energy where this is necessary to provide website hosting, technical infrastructure, email, security or related services.
The principal website hosting and website-platform provider is:
Webador / JouwWeb B.V.
Torenallee 20
5617 BC Eindhoven
The Netherlands
Service providers are expected to process personal information only for authorised purposes and subject to applicable contractual and data-protection requirements.
Information may also be disclosed where required by law, regulation, judicial order or a competent public authority.
6. International Data Transfers
The core website hosting provider, Webador / JouwWeb B.V., is established in the Netherlands, within the European Economic Area.
If a service used by Hoordad Energy involves the processing of personal data outside the European Economic Area, appropriate safeguards required under applicable data-protection law will be implemented where necessary, such as an adequacy decision, standard contractual clauses or another legally recognised transfer mechanism.
7. Data Retention
We do not retain personal information indefinitely.
Contact, pilot and professional enquiries: information may generally be retained for the duration necessary to respond to and manage the enquiry. Where the person is a prospective professional contact and no contractual relationship follows, relevant information will normally not be retained for more than three years from the last meaningful contact, unless a longer period is required for legal or evidentiary purposes.
Recruitment: application information is retained for the duration of the recruitment process. Information relating to unsuccessful candidates may be retained for a short period following completion of the process for recruitment administration. Where a candidate is retained for consideration for future opportunities, data will not normally be retained for more than two years from the candidate's last contact, unless the candidate validly agrees to a longer period or another lawful basis applies.
Partner Access and security information: authentication and technical security records are retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide secure access, investigate incidents and protect the website and associated information, unless a longer period is required by law.
Legal and contractual records: where information becomes part of a contractual, accounting, corporate or legal record, it may be retained for the period required under applicable law or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
At the end of the applicable retention period, data is deleted, anonymised or placed in appropriately restricted archival storage where continued retention is legally justified.
8. Your Rights
Subject to the conditions provided by applicable law, you may have the right to obtain access to personal data concerning you; request correction of inaccurate information; request deletion of your personal data; request restriction of processing; object to processing based on legitimate interests; receive certain data in a portable format where the right to portability applies; and withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent.
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
To exercise your rights, contact:
Please provide enough information for us to identify the relevant data and understand your request. Additional information may be requested where reasonably necessary to verify identity and protect personal information against unauthorised disclosure.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Commission nationale de l'informatique et des libertés (CNIL), the French supervisory authority for data protection.
9. Automated Decision-Making
The public website does not use solely automated decision-making that produces legal effects, or similarly significant effects, concerning website visitors or job applicants.
Any future use of automated processing affecting individuals in a materially significant way will be assessed and documented in accordance with applicable data-protection requirements.
10. Security
Hoordad Energy takes reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, loss or misuse.
Access to personal data is limited according to business need and the sensitivity of the information concerned.
No online system can provide absolute security. We therefore continuously consider appropriate security measures in relation to the nature of the information and the technologies used.
11. Third-Party Websites
The website may contain links to external websites, social networks or third-party services.
Hoordad Energy is not responsible for the privacy practices of independent third parties. Their processing of personal data is governed by their own privacy policies.
12. Children's Data
The Hoordad Energy website is intended primarily for professionals, organisations, researchers, partners, candidates and other users interested in our activities.
It is not designed as a service directed at children, and Hoordad Energy does not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children through this website.
13. Changes to This Policy
This Privacy & Data Protection Policy may be updated as our website, services, technology or legal obligations evolve.
Material changes affecting how personal data is processed will be reflected in an updated version of this page and, where required, communicated through an appropriate additional notice.
The date displayed at the top of this page identifies the most recent revision.
