Duration of saving
If an explicit duration of saving is not specified upon collection, the personal data will be deleted, if they are no longer needed to fulfil the purpose of saving, unless statutory retention duties (e.g. trade and tax-related retention duties) oppose deleting them.
Rights of data subjects: right to information, correction and restriction of the processing of your personal data, right to objection, deletion and right to data portability
Upon request, we will inform you whether and what personal data we save for what purpose at our company in writing as per applicable law.
If inaccurate information is saved in spite of our company’s efforts to maintain data security and data accuracy, we will correct this data at your request.
You also have the right to demand the processing of personal data by our company to be restricted. You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain situations: (i) if you contest the accuracy of your personal data, you may request that its processing is restricted while we verify its accuracy; (ii) if the processing of your personal data is considered unlawful, but you do not require the deletion of your personal data or (iii) if we no longer need the data for the purposes of its processing, but you need it for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims if you object to our processing of your data based on our legitimate interests, or where the processing is based on article 6(1) (e) GDPR.
Furthermore, where the processing takes place on the basis of your consent or contract, and is carried out by automated means, you may request to receive the data which you have provided our company with in a structured, conventional and machine-readable format.
You may also object to the processing of personal data by our company.
You furthermore have the right to demand the deletion of your personal data, unless statutory retention periods oppose doing so. We will delete the data if we no longer need them for the purpose for which they were collected and processed, or if you withdraw your consent and there is no other legal basis for the further processing of your data. Furthermore, we will delete these data if the processing was unlawful for reasons unknown to us or if you have objected to the processing and there are no overriding legitimate interests for the processing. Your data will also be deleted if we are legally obligated to do so. Our company has also implemented technical measures to inform all recipients of your data about your request for deletion or correction. This only applies in the event that we have disclosed these data or made them public. All links, copies and replications of your personal data should be deleted.
If you have consented to the processing of your personal data, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time with future effect. Withdrawal of consent does not make data processing unlawful for the past.
The data are transferred to our company on a voluntary basis. However, these data are necessary for the further conclusion of the contract or for responding to your queries. If you do not wish to disclose your data, the contract may not be concluded or your queries may not be answered.
You can exercise your rights by sending us an email via dataprotectionofficer (at) knds.nl. We will make reasonable efforts to respond to your request as soon as possible and within 30 days of receiving it. If we cannot honor your request within the 30-day period, we will let you know the reason why and when we expect to be able to respond to your request.
