About data processing

Below you can read how we process your data, where we store it (or have it stored), which security techniques we use and for whom the data is transparent.

 

 

General purpose of the processing

We only use your data for the benefit of our services. This means that the purpose of the processing is always directly related to the assignment you provide. We do not use your data for (targeted) marketing. If you share information with us and we use this information - other than at your request - to contact you at a later time, we will ask you for explicit permission. Your data will not be shared with third parties, other than to comply with accounting and other administrative obligations. These third parties are all bound to secrecy by virtue of the agreement between them and us or an oath or legal obligation.

Automatically collected data

Data that is automatically collected by our website is processed with the aim of further improving our services. This data (for example your IP address, web browser and operating system) is not personal data.

Security

We take careful security measures to limit misuse of and unauthorized access to personal data. These measures are part of our processes and are reviewed periodically.

Provision to third parties

We may engage other parties to process your data. Insofar as those other parties process data for the services of {company name}, they do so as a processor and we have concluded an agreement with those parties. Insofar as those other parties themselves determine the purposes and means of processing data, they do so as the controller. This also means that they must have a legal basis for processing your data. We are not responsible for the processing of your data by those parties. This privacy statement does not apply to it.

Cooperation in tax and criminal investigations

In some cases, Wowwy Europe may be required by law to share your data in connection with government tax or criminal investigations. In such a case we are forced to share your data, but we will oppose this within the possibilities that the law offers us.

Retention periods

We keep your data as long as you are a client of ours. This means that we keep your customer profile until you indicate that you no longer wish to use our services. If you indicate this to us, we will also regard this as a request to forget. This also means that we do not store your data for longer than two years from the last moment of contact or transaction, unless there is a legal justification for doing so. Based on applicable administrative obligations, we must keep invoices with your (personal) data, so we will keep this data for as long as the applicable term runs. However, employees no longer have access to your client profile and documents that we have produced in response to your order.

Your rights

Under the applicable Belgian, Dutch and European legislation, you as a data subject have certain rights with regard to the personal data processed by or on behalf of us. We explain below which rights these are and how you can invoke these rights. In principle, to prevent misuse, we only send copies and copies of your data to your already known e-mail address. In the event that you wish to receive the data at a different e-mail address or, for example, by post, we will ask you to identify yourself. We keep records of completed requests, in the event of a forget request we administer anonymised data. You will receive all statements and copies of data in the machine-readable data format that we use within our systems. You have the right at all times to submit a complaint to the Dutch Data Protection Authority if you suspect that we are using your personal data in the wrong way.

Right of inspection

You always have the right to view the data that we process or have processed that relate to your person or can be traced back to it. You can make a request to this effect to our contact person for privacy matters. You will then receive a response to your request within 30 days. If your request is granted, we will send you a copy of all data with an overview of the processors who hold this data, stating the category under which we have stored this data, at the e-mail address known to us.

Right of rectification

You always have the right to have the data that we process or have processed that relate to your person or that can be traced back to it, adjusted. You can make a request to this effect to our contact person for privacy matters. You will then receive a response to your request within 30 days. If your request is granted, we will send you a confirmation that the data has been changed at the e-mail address known to us.

Right to restriction of processing

You always have the right to limit the data that we process or have processed that relate to your person or that can be traced back to it. You can make a request to this effect to our contact person for privacy matters. You will then receive a response to your request within 30 days. If your request is granted, we will send you a confirmation to the e-mail address known to us that the data will no longer be processed until you lift the restriction.

Right to transferability

You always have the right to have the data that we process or have processed that relate to your person or that can be traced back to it, be carried out by another party. You can make a request to this effect to our contact person for privacy matters. You will then receive a response to your request within 30 days. If your request is granted, we will send you copies or copies of all data about you that we have processed or that have been processed by other processors or third parties on the e-mail address known to us. In all likelihood, we will no longer be able to continue the service in such a case, because the secure linking of data files can then no longer be guaranteed.

Right of objection and other rights

In some cases you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data by or on behalf of Wowwy Europe. If you object, we will immediately cease data processing pending the handling of your objection. If your objection is well-founded, we will make copies and/or copies of data that we process or have processed available to you and then permanently suspend the processing. You also have the right not to be subject to automated individual decision-making or profiling. We do not process your data in such a way that this right applies. If you believe that this is the case, please contact our contact person for privacy matters.
