It is advisable to make thorough enquires regarding a Processor and its business, prior to providing your personal data.

We can forward marketing and promotional materials regarding our products and services to you. If you do not or no longer want your information to be used for direct marketing, you can contact us at the email address set out under 'Contact'.

We will meet your requests as soon as possible after receipt of the request.

Please take into consideration that the consequence of removal of personal data, restriction of the processing or withdrawal of permission may be that you can no longer use the Service.

We sometimes have the right to save your personal data. This can be the case if this is necessary or recommended to be able to provide the Service to other parties, for the resolution of disputes, for the enforcement of the applicable conditions of use, for technical and/or legal requirements and/or if the Service or the law requires this.

You must provide sufficient evidence of your identity in the manner as we request this of you, to be able to acquire access by email to your own personal data. If we do not know for sure whether you are the actual person to whom the personal data relates, we can deny you access to the personal data. 

You can request us to restrict or stop the processing of your personal data in the future. We will meet your request if possible. However, please take into consideration that you can be hindered in the use of the Service, or you may not be able to use the Service anymore. We refer to article 3 of this privacy statement for further information regarding this.

You can request us to transfer the personal information that we process regarding you to another party. In that case you must specify which information you want us to transfer. We will meet such a request if this concerns information that is processed on the basis of article 3.2 or 3.4 of this privacy statement, unless this information also contains personal data regarding other (natural) persons.

We will respond within 4 weeks to all your requests as described in this privacy statement. This period can be extended by another 4 weeks in the event of complex requests. If we do extend this period, we will inform you of this within 4 weeks after you submitted the request.

You have the right to submit a complaint to the authorised privacy authority regarding the manner in which we deal with personal data. In the Netherlands this authority is the Dutch Data Protection Authority, which you can reach at https://autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl/.
