Since we use your personal data, you have various rights. We list these rights below for you.

We must explain to you in a clear and understandable manner what we do with your data and what control you have over it. That is why we explain in this privacy statement in detail which data we collect from you and how we handle your data.

Right of access
You can always ask us to view the data that we have about you.

Right to correction
You can ask us to correct your data if it is incorrect or incomplete.

Right to object
You can object to the processing of your data if you disagree with the way we handle your personal data. This right applies to the data we use for direct marketing.

Right to data portability
If you are our customer or have given permission for the use of your data, you can ask us to send you the digital data we have about you. This way, you can transfer that data to another organization if you wish.

Right to restriction
You can ask us to limit the use of your data. This means that in certain cases we may only store your data and not use it.

Right to be forgotten
You can ask us to delete all data we have about you. We will then delete all data that can be traced back to you. In some cases, we may not yet delete your data. For example, we must keep some data for 7 years for the tax authorities.
