WESTLAND KAAS PRIVACY STATEMENT

(Westland Holding B.V. and subsidiary companies)

We feel that your privacy is important and handle your personal data with due care. The most important aspects of our privacy policy are explained below.

Why do we process personal data?

We process your personal data in accordance with the purpose for which it was provided. Sometimes this involves a question we answer for you; you may be taking part in a competition*; you may be responding to a survey; perhaps you are applying for a job or you are already working with or for us; and if you place an order, we will have to be able to deliver it to you. We also use cookies on our websites – please see below.

What personal data do we process?

What personal data we exactly process will depend on the purpose and the nature of our contact. Such data may be:

  • First name and surname
  • Gender
  • Telephone number
  • Email address
  • IP address

We try to limit the personal data about you that we collect and save to the necessary data. Are we permitted to process your personal data?

We mostly process your personal data on the basis of consent, or, if necessary, for the performance of an agreement. In general, you personally provide the data to us or to our partner (for example, shop or marketing agency) or you click on the cookie banner. In exceptional cases, for example, when your company provides a service, we receive the data from your employer in the context of your employment.

When we process on the basis of consent, you can also withdraw this consent through privacy@westland-kaas.nl.

What do we do for the protection of the personal data?

We take appropriate measures for the prevention of misuse, loss, unauthorised access, unwanted disclosure and unauthorised change of your personal data. If you feel that your personal data has not been properly secured or if there are any indications of misuse, please contact us through privacy@westland-kaas.nl.

Where is your personal data going to?

We do not sell your personal data to third parties. We only provide your personal data to third parties if this is necessary for meeting a legal obligation, when you have given your consent, for the performance of an agreement, for answering your questions or for sending you a prize when you have won a competition. We conclude a processing agreement with the companies that process your

personal data on our instructions, to ensure the same level of protection and confidentiality of your personal data. We remain responsible for these processing operations.

It is our policy to retain personal data within the EU, and we also require this from our partners and suppliers.

For how long do we retain the data?

We do not retain your personal data any longer than necessary for the purpose for which it was provided. Nor do we retain your personal data any longer than permitted on the basis of the relevant statutory retention periods.

How can you access, adjust or delete your personal data?

You have the right to access, rectify or delete your personal data. In addition, you have the right to withdraw any consent for the data processing or to object to the processing of your personal data by us, and you have the right to data portability. This means that you can submit a request to us to forward the personal data that we process of you in a computer file to you or to another organisation stated by you.

You can send a request for exercising your rights (access, rectification, deletion, data portability of your personal data, a request for withdrawal of your consent or an objection to the processing of your personal data) to privacy@westland-kaas.nl.

Weask you to forward a copy of your identity document along with the request to make sure that the request for access was actually made by you. Please note: black out your passport photo, MRZ (machine readable zone, the strip with numbers at the bottom of the passport), passport number and citizen service number (Dutch BSN) in this copy. This is for the protection of your privacy. We will respond to your request as soon as possible and in any event no later than within four weeks.
