Privacy Policy

General purpose of the processing
We use your data exclusively for the purpose of providing our services. This means that the purpose of the processing is always directly related to the assignment you have provided. We do not use your data for (targeted) marketing. If you share data with us and we use this data to contact you at a later date – other than at your request – we will ask for your explicit consent to do so. Your data will not be shared with third parties, other than to comply with accounting and other administrative obligations. These third parties are all bound by confidentiality under the agreement between them and us, or by an oath or legal obligation.

Automatically collected data
Data collected automatically by our website is processed for the purpose of further improving our services. This data (for example, your IP address, web browser and operating system) does not constitute personal data.

Cooperation with tax and criminal investigations
In certain circumstances, Housewood may be required by law to share your data in connection with tax or criminal investigations conducted by the authorities. In such cases, we are obliged to share your data, but we will oppose this to the extent permitted by law.

Retention periods
We retain your data for as long as you remain a client of ours. This means that we will retain your client profile until you indicate that you no longer wish to use our services. If you inform us of this, we will also regard this as a request to be forgotten. In accordance with applicable administrative obligations, we are required to retain invoices containing your (personal) data; we will therefore retain this data for as long as the applicable retention period applies. However, employees will no longer have access to your client profile or to documents we have produced in connection with your engagement.

Under current Dutch and European legislation, as a data subject, you have certain rights regarding the personal data processed by or on behalf of us. We explain below what these rights are and how you can exercise them. In principle, to prevent misuse, we will only send copies of your data to the email address we already have on file. If you wish to receive the data at a different email address or, for example, by post, we will ask you to provide proof of identity. We keep a record of processed requests; in the case of a right to be forgotten request, we process anonymised data. You will receive all copies and extracts of data in the machine-readable format that we use within our systems. You have the right at any time to lodge a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority if you suspect that we are using your personal data incorrectly.

Right of access
You always have the right to access the data that we process (or have processed) and that relates to you or can be traced back to you. You may submit a request to this effect to our contact person for privacy matters. You will then receive a response to your request within 30 days. If your request is granted, we will send you a copy of all data to the email address we have on file, together with a list of the processors holding this data, specifying the category under which we have stored this data.

Right to rectification
You always have the right to have the data that we process (or have processed) and that relates to you or can be traced back to you, amended. You can submit a request to that effect to our privacy contact person. You will then receive a response to your request within 30 days. If your request is granted, we will send you a confirmation that the data has been amended to the email address we have on file.

Right to restriction of processing
You always have the right to restrict the processing of data relating to you or which can be traced back to you that we process or have processed. You may submit a request to this effect to our privacy contact. You will then receive a response to your request within 30 days. If your request is granted, we will send you a confirmation to the email address we hold, stating that the data will no longer be processed until you lift the restriction.

Right to data portability
You always have the right to have the data that we process (or have processed) and that relates to you or can be traced back to you transferred to another party. You can submit a request to this effect to our privacy contact person. You will then receive a response to your request within 30 days. If your request is granted, we will send you, to the email address known to us, copies of all data concerning you that we have processed or that has been processed on our behalf by other processors or third parties. In all likelihood, we will no longer be able to continue providing our services in such a case, as the secure linking of data files can then no longer be guaranteed.

Right to object and other rights
Where applicable, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data by or on behalf of Ayous Houten Gevelbekleding. If you object, we will immediately cease processing your data pending the resolution of your objection. If your objection is justified, we will provide you with copies of the data we process (or have processed) and will then permanently cease processing. You also have the right not to be subject to automated individual decision-making or profiling. We do not process your data in such a way that this right applies. If you believe that this is the case, please contact our privacy officer.
