Privacy Policy
Last updated: 23 October 2026
Seqoia provides decarbonisation services to businesses. This policy explains how we handle personal data when you visit seqoia.com, contact us or work with us.
1. Who we are
Seqoia B.V. i/o, Emmaplein 2 1075AW Amsterdam, the Netherlands (“Seqoia”, “we”). We are the controller for the personal data described in this policy. Contact: info@seqoia.com.
2. What we collect
- Business contact details – name, job title, company, email address and phone number of the people we deal with at clients, prospects, suppliers and partners.
- Communications – the content of emails, web forms, calls and meetings with us.
- Engagement details – information we need to deliver our services and invoice, such as contract and billing details.
- Website data – IP address, browser and device information, and how you use our website. See our Cookie Policy.
We collect this mostly from you or your employer, and occasionally from public sources such as company registers, LinkedIn and company websites.
Our services mainly involve company-level data, such as energy use and emissions. Where a client shares personal data with us as part of a project, we process it on the client’s behalf as a processor, under a data processing agreement.
3. Why we use it
| Purpose | Legal basis |
| Responding to enquiries and preparing proposals | Legitimate interest; steps prior to a contract |
| Delivering our services and managing the client relationship | Performance of a contract |
| Invoicing, accounting and other legal requirements | Legal obligation |
| Sending relevant business updates to business contacts | Legitimate interest (you can opt out at any time) |
| Running, securing and improving our website | Legitimate interest; consent for non-essential cookies |
We do not sell personal data and do not use it for automated decision-making.
4. Who we share it with
Only where needed:
- service providers that support our business, such as hosting, email, CRM and accounting tools, under contract and on our instructions;
- registries, verification bodies and project partners, where this is required to deliver a service you have engaged us for;
- professional advisers, and authorities where the law requires it.
5. International transfers
Some service providers may process data outside the European Economic Area. Where they do, we rely on an EU adequacy decision or the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
6. How long we keep it
- Client and supplier records: for the duration of the relationship and 7 years after, in line with Dutch tax retention rules.
- Prospect and contact data: up to 2 years after our last contact.
- Website data: as set out in our Cookie Policy.
7. Security
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures, including access controls and encryption in transit, to protect personal data.
8. Your rights
You can ask us to access, correct, delete, restrict or transfer your personal data, and you can object to processing based on legitimate interest, including direct marketing. Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time. Email info@seqoia.com and we will respond within one month.
You can also lodge a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens) via autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl.
