Your data

We handle your data with care

We handle the data we receive from you with care. We have taken technical and organizational measures to prevent unauthorized third parties from obtaining access to these data. All our employees have also entered into a confidentiality agreement with our office.

Your personal data

We process personal data. We also process so-called special and also criminal data. With regard to special and criminal personal data, we ask for the explicit permission of the person(s) involved to process these data.

In all situations, this concerns only those personal data that are necessary to:

  • Communicate with the person(s) involved in the manner agreed upon by the parties;

  • Carry out the assigned activities;

  • Realize the desired financial products.

  • We can always substantiate why we process the requested personal data in specific situations.We use at least one of the following grounds for processing your personal data:

  • The execution of a contract of assignment (for example, advice and mediation of afinancial product, providing aftercare, carrying out financial planning or asecond opinion);

  • Consent of data subject(s) (for example, if we have held an informal exploratory meeting with a potential customer and we have asked whether - with a view to a possible future assignment - we may retain data on this potential customer for a certain period);

  • Legal obligation; this basis follows for example from our position as employer;

  • Legitimate interest of our office as data controller (for example, we keep files containing personal data longer than strictly necessary in connection with our liability position).What is the situation if you do not give us certain information or restrict our use of it?

    Putting together good financial advice can be compared to putting together a puzzle. There are many, individual pieces that are all jumbled together when we begin our work. If we have all the pieces at our disposal, we almost always succeed in solving the puzzle and presenting you with a complete picture.

    However, if you do not wish to provide us with certain information or if you impose restrictions on us using it, we will miss one or more "pieces" of the puzzle. Sometimes this is not insurmountable so that we can still present you with a certain final picture. We will then point out to you that there may be certain gaps in this advice because we did not have all the information and what the consequences may be for you.

    If we are missing too much information, we will not be able to provide you with sound advice and will inform you that we cannot carry out the requested work for you.

Provision of data to third parties

Your data will only be provided to insurers and money lenders if it is your express wish to conclude an agreement on a financial product. Then only those data are provided to these third parties which are strictly necessary for the conclusion of the financial product.

If necessary, we pass on your personal data to organizations that are relevant to the execution of a financial product. If, for example, you want to claim a loss on an insurance policy, it is possible that a loss adjuster will visit you or that we will ask a loss adjuster to contact you.

How long do we keep your data?

We do not keep data any longer than necessary. We use retention periods. These are partly based on the requirements of the AFM and the Tax and Customs Administration:

  • As long as the insurance is in effect, we collect, store and update the insurance information as well as your data

  • We keep all financial records until the end of the year and for the following 7 years. This includes bank statements, current account statements with insurance companies, etc.

  • When a policy is terminated, we keep this policy (and the associated data) until the end of the year and for the following 5 years. This is imposed on us by the AFM / WFT.

  • When a claim has been settled, we keep this file until the end of the year and for the following 3 years. The reason for this is that you can appeal up to three years (after rejection for example).

    appeal. Then we will need the file

  • When an offer that we present to you is not followed through, this will be destroyed (unless agreed otherwise) with all the underlying data 1 year after the offer has been made

Your rights

Wat zijn uw rechten?

You are / will be our customer. You have the right to determine what data of yours we do or do not receive. You may always ask us for an overview of the personal data we have on you. We will provide you with this overview free of charge. But you also have other rights. The basic principle is that we respect and honor these rights. Where the rights of those involved conflict with the interests of our company, we will carefully weigh the mutual interests. We summarize these below:

  • If you believe that we have processed certain data about you incorrectly in our records, you may request that we correct it. We appreciate this very much, because we can of course only do our work properly work properly if the data we work with for you is correct.

  • If you no longer want us to have certain information registered in our records, you can ask us to remove this information. We will of course comply with your request.

  • If at any time you would like to limit our use of your information, for example by not allowing us to pass it on to a particular organization, please let us know. We will of course comply with your request.

  • If you wish, you can ask us to pass your details on to a third party. For example, your accountant, lawyer or bank. Upon receipt of your written request we will execute your request as soon as possible.

  • If we receive personal information from third parties, for example your insurer, accountant, bank or other financial advisers, we will inform you of the source from which we have received this information.

Finally

Security

We take appropriate technical measures to secure the processing of personal data. The level of protection of these technical measures is tailored to the possible risks. We provide encryption of personal data, ensure technical security of software and data through firewalls and protection software and also ensure that the security of our website meets the applicable requirements (SSL).

We have also taken appropriate organizational measures to prevent unauthorized persons from interfering with the processing(s) of personal data within our company. For example, we have secured our office premises against unauthorized intrusion and we have adjusted the access rights to our data systems for each employee to the work that the employee in question carries out in connection with the processing of personal data. We keep log files from which we can see who has performed which actions within our data systems.

Data leakages

We take all measures that can reasonably be expected of us to ensure that personal data are processed within our company in a careful manner. However, if it appears that a breach has taken place in relation to personal data (a so-called data leak), we will take the actions required by law. If we cannot rule out that the breach involves a risk to the privacy of data subject(s), we will report the breach to the Authority for the Protection of Personal Data (Ap). We will also take the measures to limit this risk to the privacy of the data subject(s) as much as possible and to prevent, if possible, the recurrence of the breach. In addition, we will inform the data subject(s) about the nature and extent of the breach.

We inform our employees so that on the one hand they can recognize a personal data breach and on the other hand they know what to do in the relevant circumstances.
We record all personal data breaches in an internal register.
