How does Essange Reagents ensure that your data is safe and how long does it store personal data?
Essange Reagents takes the necessary technical and organisational measures to guarantee that your personal data is well protected, for example against unauthorised or unlawful use, modification, unauthorised access or disclosure, accidental or unlawful destruction and loss.
Additional information about who can access your personal data.
The general rule is that Essange Reagents stores personal data for as long as it is needed, but not longer than two years, unless this is required in order to meet statutory obligations. There is a statutory retention period for some data laid down in legislation. If the data is no longer needed, we destroy or anonymize the data.
Does Essange Reagents disclose data to third parties?
The nature of its activities means that Essange Reagents may share your data with third parties to maintain contact with customers and suppliers. There are also institutions that monitor and test Essange Reagents‘s operations, such as the Dutch Health and Youth Care Inspectorate (IGJ). Employees at this institution can also view the data.
In certain cases, Essange Reagents may share your personal data with trusted third parties for the performance of certain technical and other services, e.g. hosting providers and telephone support services. All such third parties are obliged to adequately protect your data and only to process it in accordance with our instructions. Essange Reagents has a written contract with each of these parties, in which these matters are settled.
Essange Reagents may also share aggregated data, which is not traceable to the person, with third parties. Essange Reagents makes sure that this non-personal information cannot be traced back to specific individuals. In addition, Essange Reagents may share your personal data with supervisory bodies and investigatory bodies if Essange Reagents is legally required to do so.
What are your rights as a data subject?
As an associate you have the right to access your personal data registered by Essange Reagents, to have rectified inaccurate data and, in certain cases, to have your data removed.
You also have the right, in certain cases, to request a restriction of or to lodge an objection to the processing of the data and to request data portability. To make sure that it is you requesting your data, Essange Reagents asks you to provide proof of identity with a valid identity document.
When you have given consent for your personal data to be used, you may always revoke your consent. From that moment Essange Reagents will not collect any new personal data. Essange Reagents has the right to continue processing your data, which has been collected before you revoked your consent.
