Legal ground for the processing

We process personal data only if there is a legal ground present for this. The legal grounds on the basis of which we process personal data are:

  • permission
  • on the basis of an agreement, or in the run-up to the concluding of an agreement
  • a justified interest

Permission

If we have requested your permission for processing personal data and you have provided this permission, you will also always have the right to withdraw this permission again.

An agreement, or in the run-up to the concluding of an agreement

If you have concluded an agreement with us, we will process the personal data if and insofar as this is necessary for the execution of the assignment.

Justified interest

We are permitted to process personal data if we have a justified interest and do not disproportionally infringe on your privacy thereby. In this manner we use, for example, your contact details to invite you to relevant meetings.

Third parties engaged by us (processors)

We can engage service providers (processors) for the processing of your personal data who will process personal data exclusively on our instructions. We will conclude a processing agreement with these processors. This processing agreement sets out inter alia that the processors will act exclusively on our instructions and are not permitted to use the personal data for their own purposes.

For example, the processors who we use are parties that offer and host software used by us. We further engaged IT service providers for the management of our IT network. We also use third party services for sending our newsletters.

Provision of personal data to third parties

It may be necessary to share personal data in the context of our service provision. Your personal data will not be shared with third parties for commercial purposes.

We use service providers (processors) that are established outside the European Economic Area (EEA) for sending email newsletters. These parties guarantee an appropriate level of security of personal data. In our contractual relationship with these processors we use model contracts that have been approved by the European Commission (Decision 2010/87/EU) as appropriate precautions.

Your rights

Every person can exercise specific rights on the basis of the law with regard to his or her personal data. In this manner you have the right to access, rectification and removal of personal data. You can also object to the use of your data or request that this use is restricted. In specific cases you can even request that your data is returned and transferred to another party. Please contact us on our telephone number or at info@procentec.nl for all these questions.
