Where is my data processed?

Therefore, from time to time, we may choose to transfer all or part of your data, both inside and outside of your data, both within and outside the European Union. In doing so, we will always comply with existing regulations and ensure that your data is handled in a secure manner. When your data is transferred to countries outside the EU, this is done in accordance with adequate security provisions and regulations.

How long will my data be kept?

We keep personal data as long as it is necessary for the purpose for which we have collected it and for which it is being processed. After that they are in principle deleted as soon as possible, unless there is a legal obligation to keep certain data for a longer period. In the case of job applicants, we will retain data for a maximum of four weeks after filling the vacancy in question, unless the applicant gives us permission to keep their data in our portfolio for a maximum of 1 year in order to fill future or other vacancies, after which time it will be deleted.

How is my data protected?

We are committed to protecting your personal data and we will take all appropriate technical and organisational security measures to adequately protect the personal data we process against accidental or unlawful manipulation, loss, destruction or access.

Depending on the development of available security products and services, we continuously improve our security measures.

What are my rights?

You can also choose to collect it - after identification - at a Vencomatic Group BV section upon identification.

Right of rectification
You have the right to update your data or have it updated.

Right of removal
In the following cases, you can have your personal data removed with immediate effect:
- When the data is no longer needed for the purpose for which it was collected;
- When the processing is based solely on your consent and you withdraw your consent.
- When you withdraw your application, for example;
- When it is legally required to delete the data;
- If there is any unlawful processing;
- If you have justifiably objected to the processing of your data.

Right to object
You have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes. This is an absolute right, so as soon as you object, we will stop further use of your data for direct marketing.

You also have the right to object to the processing of your data for legitimate interests. If you object, you must specify in detail what you object to and why.

We must then provide convincing legitimate reasons for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or show that we are processing the data for the establishment, asserting or denying legal claims.

Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request a temporary restriction on the processing of your data. This is possible in the following cases:

- When you believe that your data is incorrect and you have requested us to correct it. While we are validating your data, you can ask us to limit the processing of your data;
- When the data is being processed unlawfully and you do not want your data to be deleted, but instead you request that the use of your data is restricted;
- When you need your data in order to establish, enforce or verify legal claims, even
if we no longer need to process your data;
- When you have objected to the processing.

Right of data portability
You have the right to request the data, which you have provided to us yourself or which we have obtained from you by automated means (e.g. location data), to be used elsewhere. This right only applies if our processing of your data is based on the legal grounds, that you have granted us permission to process this data. Or if you have entered into a contract with us.

We will comply with the above requests unless we have a compelling legitimate interest in not deleting the data, which outweighs your privacy interest. If we have deleted the data, for technical reasons we may not be able to immediately remove all copies of the data from our systems and back-up systems. We may refuse to comply with the above requests if they are made unreasonably often, involve unreasonable technical effort or have an unreasonable technical impact on our systems or jeopardise the privacy of others.

You may make the aforementioned requests or raise the aforementioned objection by sending a letter, stating your name, address, telephone number and a copy of a valid identification document to our e-mail address: privacy@vencomaticgroup.com 

Please remember to make your identification number unreadable on your copy of the ID card and to cover the passport photo before sending it. You will receive a reply within 4 weeks.
