In general, we do not store your data longer than necessary for the purposes for which it was collected. Retention periods may vary depending on the situation.

After the statutory retention periods, 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 necessary to execute an agreement with you or to comply with a legal obligation.

We may engage third parties for the following categories of processing:
a) Financial administration
b) Processing and executing orders
c) Sending newsletters or mailings
d) Monitoring website usage (via tools such as Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity)
9. Cookies and Similar Technologies We Use
We use cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files stored in your browser on your computer, tablet, or smartphone when you first visit the website.
We use the following types of cookies:
a) Functional cookies – purely technical cookies that ensure the website functions properly and remember your preferences. They also help optimize the website.
b) Analytical cookies (Google Analytics) – we use Google Analytics to gain insight into the use of our website, such as visitor numbers, visited pages, and browsing behavior. We have configured Google Analytics as privacy-friendly as possible: IP addresses are anonymized, data-sharing with Google is disabled, and we have a data processing agreement with Google. Data is retained for a limited period (currently a maximum of 14 months). Google may process data in the United States; see Google’s privacy policy. Analytical cookies are only placed after you provide consent.
c) User experience analysis tools (Microsoft Clarity) – we use Microsoft Clarity to analyze how visitors use our website. Clarity records, among other things, mouse movements, clicks, and session recordings. This data is anonymized and used to improve website usability. Microsoft may process some data as a processor in accordance with its privacy policy. Clarity data is retained for a maximum of 13 months. These cookies are also only placed with your consent.

10. Your Rights (Access, Rectification, Deletion, etc.)
You have the following rights concerning the processing of your data:
a) Right of access – you have the right to know what data we hold about you, why we process it, to whom it has been disclosed, and how long it will be retained.
b) Right to rectification – you can ask us to correct your data immediately. You also have the right to complete incomplete data, for example by sending us an email.
c) Right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”) – upon request, we will erase your data without undue delay, unless retention is necessary to comply with legal obligations or to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
d) Right to restriction of processing – you may request restriction of processing, for instance if you believe your data is inaccurate or no longer necessary.
e) Notification of rectification, erasure, or restriction – unless this proves impossible or requires disproportionate effort, we will inform recipients of your data about any rectification, erasure, or restriction.
f) Right to data portability – you may request to receive your data for personal use or transfer. This right only applies to data you provided to us and if processing is based on consent or a contract.
g) Right to withdraw consent – if processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw this consent at any time. The withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing prior to withdrawal.
h) Right to object – you may object to the processing of your data. In principle, we will then stop processing your data.
i) Right to lodge a complaint – you may contact our Privacy Manager if you believe your data is processed unlawfully. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens) or to take the matter to court.
j) Restrictions on rights – in some cases, we may restrict your rights, for example, in the context of preventing, investigating, detecting, and prosecuting criminal offenses such as fraud. To verify that a request for access comes from you, we will send you verification questions before processing your request. This ensures the protection of your privacy. We will respond as quickly as possible, but within four weeks at the latest.
11. How We Secure Personal Data
We take the protection of your data seriously and implement appropriate measures to prevent misuse, loss, unauthorized access, unwanted disclosure, and unauthorized modification. If you believe your data is not properly secured or if you suspect misuse, please contact our Privacy Manager.
