1. Introduction
ENTIS B.V. and its subsidiaries (hereafter referred to as ‘ENTIS B.V.’ or ‘we’) relies on open and transparent interaction, even where data protection is concerned. We abide by applicable data protection legislation, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (‘GDPR’) and the Dutch GDPR Implementation Act (Uitvoeringswet AVG) (together referred to as the ‘Data Protection Legislation’), and make every effort to handle personal data with care. This data privacy statement serves to provide you with information about how we handle personal data. In principle Entis B.V. is the only one of our entities that collects and processes personal data and that qualifies as the data controller under the Data Protection Legislation.
2. Personal data
‘‘Personal data’ is information with which you can be directly or indirectly identified. Personal data include your name, address, place of residence, date of birth, telephone number and e-mail address. But also business data and contact data relating to our customers, insurance details, (bank) account numbers, citizen service number, log-in or password details and Internet Protocol (IP) addresses are personal data.
In this data privacy statement, when we use the term ‘processing’, we mean any handling of personal data. This includes, for example:
- collecting;
- storing;
- managing;
- using;
- transmitting;
- publishing; or
- deleting personal data.
We only ask for personal information where it is necessary in order to provide our own services and handle transactions enacted with ENTIS B.V., and where it allows us to offer our customers and partners better services.
3. When do we collect personal data?
We collect your personal data whenever we have contact with you, which can be both online as well as via routine personal contact.
For example, we collect personal information in the following circumstances:
- you are (a representative of) our business partner (partner, customer, supplier, external advisor or other third party with whom we liaise);
- you apply for a place as an intern, apprentice or employee;
- you visit our online services;
- you communicate with us via phone, email or any other communication channel, on special occasions, events, workshops, general meetings, etc.; or from third parties such as from your employer, the company you represent, external advisers, headhunters and recruitment agencies, etc.
4. What personal data is collected?
The personal data collected varies as much as the circumstances under which we collect data, for example:
- name and first name;
- gender;
- date of birth and age;
- address;
- phone number;
- e-mail address;
- marketing data such as requirements, wishes, preferences;
- business contact details;
- bank details and other financial information;
- title, position, job description;
- resumé, cover letter, work history, credentials, assessments, and other information you provide to us in the context of your application;
- information from external sources and public registers (e.g. the chamber of commerce, search engines, social media, news articles);
- signatures;
- usage data and other data collected via cookies on our website (see paragraph 5 below).
ENTIS B.V. avoids the processing of personal data that is of an especially sensitive nature, and therefore especially worthy of protection, as much as possible – e.g. concerning your political opinion, your religious and philosophical beliefs, your union affiliation, or your health. We would like to draw your attention to the fact that personal information you provide on a voluntary basis (such as submitting a CV to apply for a position) may be saved in the context of your application process for a position within our company.
5. Legal grounds for processing
We process your personal data based on one of the following legal grounds:
- if the processing is necessary for the performance and execution of a contract to which you are party (or in order to take the necessary steps prior to entering into a contract with you);
- if the processing is necessary to comply with our legal obligations (including our obligations under applicable tax laws, our legal administration obligations and to cooperate with supervisory authorities);
- if the processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate (business) interests pursued by us; or
- if the processing is based on your consent. If any kind of processing is based on your consent, we hereby inform you that you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
