Data is collected in databases protected by firewalls, passwords, and other technical means. Databases and database backups are located in locked premises. Only predesignated persons are allowed to access the data.

Only persons who need the data for performing their duties have access to the data file. Data stored on computers can only be accessed with personal credentials, and their use is monitored.

We only store personal data for as long as it is necessary for the purposes of processing the data. We store personal data for at least the duration of the partnership, taking into account the criteria defined by law and authorities, such as the Accounting Act, legislation on the processing of personal data, and archiving regulations. 

We regularly assess the need for data retention in view of the applicable legislation. In addition to this, the controller takes reasonable measures to ensure that no such personal data is stored that is inaccurate, outdated, or incompatible with the purposes of data processing. The controller will rectify or erase any such data without delay.

Data subjects have the right to be notified by the data controller of whether their personal data is being processed or not. The data controller must provide a copy of the collected personal data at the request of the data subject.

The request must be submitted in writing to the Data Protection Officer using the data request form. The identity of the data subject will be confirmed before handing out the information. 

Right to rectification

Data subjects have the right to request the controller to rectify their inaccurate personal data without undue delay. Incorrect registered data will be rectified on the basis of the information provided by the person.

The request must be submitted in writing using the data rectification request form.

Any updates to the information contained in the data file, such as changes to the name and contact information of the contact person, will be directly communicated to the organisation’s contact person.
