If you have any questions about this Privacy Statement or about the processing of your personal data, please contact us using the email address above.

What personal data do we process?

The personal data we process depends on your relationship with Adamasgroep and the way in which you interact with us.

We may process, among other things, the following personal data:

• your name and contact details, such as your address, email address and telephone number;
• company name, job title and business contact details;
• information you provide to us by email, telephone, contact form or other correspondence;
• information necessary to perform an assignment or agreement;
• administrative and financial information, including billing details;
• information contained in documents you provide to us in connection with an assignment;
• technical information about your use of our website, such as your IP address, browser type, device information and website usage data;
• cookie data and similar online identifiers, insofar as these are used on our website;
• any other personal data you voluntarily provide to us.

We aim to process no more personal data than is necessary for the relevant purpose.

For what purposes do we process personal data?

We may process personal data for the following purposes:

• responding to questions, enquiries and requests;
• maintaining contact with clients, customers, suppliers and other business relations;
• preparing, entering into and performing agreements and assignments;
• carrying out and administering projects;
• preparing and sending quotations and invoices;
• maintaining our financial and business administration;
• complying with legal and tax obligations;
• securing, managing and improving our website and IT systems;
• analysing the use and performance of our website;
• protecting our rights and interests and handling potential disputes;
• other purposes for which you have specifically given your consent.

If we intend to use personal data for a purpose other than the purpose for which it was originally collected, we will first assess whether the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose or, where necessary, request your consent.

What are the legal grounds for processing your personal data?

Adamasgroep only processes personal data where there is a valid legal basis for doing so.

Depending on the circumstances, we rely on one or more of the following legal grounds:

Performance of a contract
Where processing is necessary to perform an agreement with you or to take steps at your request before entering into an agreement.

Legal obligation
Where we are required to process personal data in order to comply with a legal obligation, for example tax or statutory record-keeping requirements.

Legitimate interests
Where processing is necessary for a legitimate business interest of Adamasgroep or a third party and your privacy interests do not override those interests. This may include normal business communications, the security of our systems, improving our services, and establishing, exercising or defending legal claims.

Consent
Where we specifically ask for your consent, for example for certain non-essential cookies or other processing activities for which consent is required.

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.

Personal data we receive from others

In most cases, we receive personal data directly from you.

However, in connection with an assignment or business relationship, we may also receive personal data from a client, employer, business partner, publicly available source or another third party.

Where applicable, we process such data only where we have a valid legal basis and for the purposes for which the data was received.

Retention of personal data

We do not retain personal data for longer than necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, unless we are legally required to retain it for a longer period or longer retention is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

In principle, we apply the following retention criteria:

• information relating to contact requests and general correspondence is retained for as long as necessary to handle and follow up the relevant request;
• client, assignment and project files are generally retained for the duration of the assignment and for a maximum of 10 years after completion, insofar as this is necessary for our business operations, liability obligations and/or legal position;
• information forming part of our financial administration is retained for the applicable statutory tax retention period;
• email correspondence is retained for as long as it remains relevant to a business relationship, project, our administration or our legal obligations;
• information processed on the basis of your consent is retained until you withdraw that consent, unless another legal basis subsequently applies;
• technical website and cookie data is retained in accordance with the retention periods applicable to the relevant cookies and services.

We periodically assess whether personal data is still necessary and delete or anonymise it when it is no longer required.

Sharing personal data with third parties

Adamasgroep does not sell your personal data.

We may share personal data with third parties where this is necessary for the provision of our services, our business operations or compliance with legal obligations.

These third parties may include:

• hosting and IT service providers;
• email, storage and communication service providers;
• administrative and financial service providers;
• professional advisers, such as accountants, lawyers and insurers;
• website and analytics service providers;
• public authorities or supervisory authorities where we are legally required to disclose information.

Where an external party processes personal data on our behalf, we enter into appropriate arrangements regarding the processing and security of personal data where required by law.

Transfers outside the European Economic Area

Some of the service providers we use may process or store personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA).

Where personal data is transferred to a country outside the EEA, we ensure that there is a valid legal basis for the transfer and that appropriate safeguards are implemented where required.

These safeguards may include an adequacy decision adopted by the European Commission or the use of Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.

You may contact us if you would like further information about the safeguards used for a specific international data transfer.

Cookies and similar technologies

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies.

Essential cookies are required for the website to function properly and securely. In principle, consent is not required for cookies that are strictly necessary for these purposes.

Depending on the configuration of our website, we may also use analytical, functional and/or other non-essential cookies.

Where consent is legally required for cookies or similar technologies, we will only place or activate them after you have provided your consent through our cookie banner or cookie settings.

Where we use analytics services, such as Google Analytics, we configure these services in a privacy-conscious manner wherever possible. Where consent is required for their use, these services will only be activated after you have given your consent.

You can use the cookie settings on our website to review and, where applicable, change your preferences or withdraw your consent.

Further information about the specific cookies, providers, purposes and retention periods can be found in our Cookie Policy / cookie overview.

Security of your personal data

Adamasgroep takes appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, unwanted disclosure and unauthorised alteration.

These measures are reviewed and, where necessary, adjusted to reflect technological developments and the nature and risks associated with the personal data we process.

If you believe that your personal data is not adequately protected or you suspect misuse or a potential personal data breach, please contact us as soon as possible at info@adamasgroep.nl.

Your privacy rights

Under the GDPR, depending on the circumstances, you have various rights in relation to your personal data.

These include the right to request:

• access to the personal data we process about you;
• rectification of inaccurate or incomplete personal data;
• erasure of your personal data;
• restriction of processing of your personal data;
• data portability, where this right applies;
• the right to object to processing where processing is based on a legitimate interest;
• the right to withdraw your consent where processing is based on consent.

If we use your personal data for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object to such processing at any time.

You can submit a request concerning your privacy rights by emailing info@adamasgroep.nl.

We will generally respond to your request within one month of receiving it. In complex cases or where we receive a large number of requests, this period may be extended in accordance with the GDPR. We will inform you if an extension is required.

Where we have reasonable doubts concerning your identity, we may request additional information to verify your identity. We will not request more information than is necessary for this purpose.

Automated decision-making

Adamasgroep does not make decisions based solely on automated processing, including profiling, that produce legal effects concerning you or otherwise significantly affect you.

If we introduce such automated decision-making in the future, we will provide the required information in advance where required by the GDPR.

Children and minors

Our website and services are not specifically directed at children.

Where we process personal data relating to minors and consent from a parent or legal guardian is legally required, we will obtain such consent where necessary.

Complaints and the Dutch Data Protection Authority

If you have a complaint about the way in which we process your personal data, we encourage you to contact us first so that we have the opportunity to address your concerns.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority in the Netherlands:

Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens (Dutch Data Protection Authority)

Further information about privacy rights and submitting a complaint is available on the website of the Dutch Data Protection Authority.

We may amend this Privacy Statement from time to time, for example when our services, website, systems or applicable laws and regulations change.

The most recent version will always be published on www.adamasgroup.eu. The date on which this Privacy Statement was last updated is stated at the top of this page.

We recommend reviewing this Privacy Statement periodically.
