Because we use your personal data, you have various rights. We have listed these rights below for you:

Right to information

We must explain to you in an understandable and clear way what we do with your data and what control you have over it. That is why in this privacy statement we explain in detail what data we collect from you and how we handle your data.

Right of access

You may always ask us to view the data we have about you.

Right to correction

You may ask us to have your data corrected if it is incorrect or incomplete.

Right to object

You may object to the processing of your data if you disagree with the way we handle your personal data. This right applies to the data that we use for direct marketing. For example, you can let us know that you no longer wish to receive email from us. This also applies to personalized recommendations on our website.

Right to data portability

If you are our customer or if you have given consent for the use of your data, you may ask us to send you the digital data we have about you. This allows you to transfer that data to another organization if you wish.

Right to restriction

You may ask us to restrict the use of your data. This means that in certain cases we may only store your data but not use it.

Right to be forgotten

You may ask us to remove all data we have about you. We will then remove all data that can be traced back to you. In some cases, we cannot or may not yet remove your data. For example, we must retain some data for 7 years for the tax authorities.
