We believe it is important that our services are reliable and transparent. We therefore treat your personal data with discretion and care and ensure that any processing of your data complies with the applicable laws and regulations.

2. Responsible party for processing personal data

The Responsible Party is:

3. Privacy Manager

We have appointed a Privacy Manager. This is not a ‘data protection officer’ as referred to in Article 37 of the GDPR. However, it is someone who ensures that your data is processed in accordance with the law. The activities of the Privacy Manager include monitoring and dealing with questions and complaints. The contact details of our Privacy Manager are: Bart Blok, info@stringify.app +31858770987.

The processing grounds are those referred to in Article 6 of the GDPR (consent, agreement or legitimate interest).

6. Automated decision-making

We do not make decisions on the basis of automated processing on matters that may have (significant) consequences for individuals. These decisions are made by computer programs or systems, without a human being (for example, one of our employees) being involved.

7. How long we retain personal data

In general, we will not retain your data any longer than necessary for the purposes for which we have collected your data. The retention period may vary from case to case. For example, we may need to retain a number of documents for a minimum period of time for tax or administrative purposes. In such cases, we will only retain data that is necessary to comply with our legal obligations. After the legal retention period, we will delete or anonymize your data.

8. Sharing personal data with third parties

We do not share your personal data with third parties, unless this is done in the context of executing an agreement with you and in order to comply with any legal obligation. To the extent that these third parties are to be regarded as processors, we have entered into a processing agreement with these third parties in which, among other things, security, confidentiality and your rights are arranged. We remain responsible for these processing operations.

We engage third parties in the manner and on the grounds described above for the following categories of processing:

1. Keeping a financial administration
2. Sending newsletters or mailing
3. Website visit monitoring

3. ‘Right to be forgotten’

   You have the ‘right to be forgotten.’ Upon request, we will erase your data without unreasonable delay. However, we may not always delete all of your data. Sometimes the processing is still necessary, for example, to comply with legal obligations or to make, exercise or substantiate claims.

   In principle, you have the right to have the processing of your data restricted, for example if you believe that your data is incorrect or the processing of the data unnecessary.

   If the data processing is based on consent, you have the right to revoke that consent at any time. However, the processing of your data for the period prior to withdrawal remains lawful.

8. Right to object

   In principle, you have the right to object to the processing of your data. After your objection we will in principle stop the processing of your data.

10. Restrictions on your rights

    Sometimes we may restrict your rights, for example in the context of the prevention, investigation, detection and prosecution of criminal offences, such as fraud.

Any request can be addressed to our Privacy Manager. To make sure that a request has been made by you, we ask you to enclose a copy of your ID with the request. In this copy, make your MRZ (machine readable zone, the strip with the numbers at the bottom of the passport), passport number and citizen service number black. This is to protect your privacy.

11. How we secure personal data

We take the protection of your data seriously and take appropriate measure to prevent misuse, loss, unauthorized access, unwanted disclosure and unauthorized modification. If you have the impression that your information is not properly secured or there are indications of misuse, please contact our privacy manager.
