Purpose of Data Processing

 

General Purpose of Processing

We only use your data for the purpose of our services. This means that the processing of your data is always directly related to the assignment you have given us. We do not use your data for (targeted) marketing unless you explicitly consent to it. Your data is not shared with third parties, except to meet accounting and other administrative obligations. These third parties are all bound by confidentiality under the agreement between them and us or by oath or legal obligation.

 

Automatically Collected Data

Data automatically collected by our website is processed to further improve our services. This data (such as your IP address, web browser, and operating system) is not considered personal data.

 

Cooperation with Fiscal and Criminal Investigations

In certain cases, Amkina may be obliged to share your data due to a legal obligation related to fiscal or criminal investigations by government authorities. In such a case, we are compelled to share your data, but we will resist within the limits of the law.

 

Retention Periods

We retain your data as long as you are a client of ours. This means that we will keep your client profile until you inform us that you no longer wish to use our services. If you notify us of this, we will also consider it as a request for erasure. We are required by applicable administrative obligations to retain invoices with your (personal) data, so we will keep this data for as long as the applicable term requires. However, employees no longer have access to your client profile and documents we have produced based on your order.

Your Rights

Under applicable Dutch and European legislation, you, as the data subject, have certain rights regarding the personal data processed by or on behalf of us. Below, we explain what these rights are and how you can invoke them. To prevent abuse, we may ask you to provide proof of identity when requesting access to or copies of your data. We keep a record of completed requests, and in the case of an erasure request, we keep anonymized data. All copies of data you receive will be in a machine-readable data format used within our systems. You always have the right to lodge a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority if you suspect that we are processing your personal data incorrectly.

If you object, we will immediately stop processing the data pending the resolution of your objection.
