We attach great importance to the careful handling of personal data. We therefore process and secure personal data with the greatest care. In our processing, we comply with the requirements set out in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). In this statement, we explain which personal data we collect and use and for what purpose. We advise you to read this declaration carefully.

Security
We make every effort to secure the website against misuse and unauthorised access to personal data. We do this, for example, by means of SSL secured connections. It is your responsibility to secure the equipment with which you visit and use our website, for example, with a virus scanner.

Personal data
By using our website, you leave certain data behind with us. This can be personal data: data that directly or indirectly can be traced back to you. We store and use only the personal data directly provided by you or for which it was clear, when it was entered, that it would be used by us for processing.

We use the personal data obtained only for the purposes for which we got the data from you.

Provision to third parties
We may engage third parties to process personal data on our behalf. These third parties in such a case are referred to as “processors". These processors always act under our responsibility and they may not use the personal data for their own purposes. We have concluded processing agreements with these third parties if they process personal data.
These third parties are our hosting provider and the suppliers of online tools. These online tools allow us, for example, to send the newsletter, to follow up your questions or comments or to handle your job application.
We use the following third parties for services with which or in which personal data are processed:

  • Hosting and Database

Personal data can be processed outside the E.U. or E.E.R. This happens mostly in the United States. We ensure that the third parties who process your personal data are Privacy Shield certified or work with the E.U.'s model contracts for data transfer.

When you leave behind your contact details on our website via the contact form or in another way, we can share this data with the organisations with whom we work together for this campaign. To name them: Stichting Rotterdam Partners, Havenbedrijf Rotterdam N.V., Deal Drechtsteden, Smart Delta Drechtsteden. We do this for promotional and acquisition purposes.

E-mail marketing and processing
