When we share your personal data externally with third parties in countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA), we always take the necessary measures to protect this data. We rely on, among other things:

  • The requirements based on the applicable laws and regulations;

6.         Processing principles
The GDPR requires data processing to be based on a legal basis. The following principles apply to the processing of personal data by Inther:

  • Processing of data on the basis of necessity for the implementation of the agreement
    Inther has the right to process data that is necessary for the execution of a concluded agreement. This may be the case, for example, with purchase agreements and contracts for services. 
  • Processing data based on a legal obligation
  • Processing data based on consent
    When you give permission to process your data, Inther has the right to process (ordinary) personal data. The following requirements must be met for this:
    • Consent is given freely;
    • Consent must be unambiguous;
    • The consent is specific;
    • You have been informed in advance about the identity of Inther, the purpose of the processing, which personal data is collected and the right you have to withdraw consent.

7.         Retention period
We do not store your personal data longer than necessary to achieve the purposes for which they were collected and processed.

When your personal data is no longer necessary for a procedure or activity for which it was originally collected, we delete the data or bundle it at a certain level of abstraction (aggregation), make it anonymous or delete it according to laws and regulations.

The foregoing does not apply if there is a legal exception.

8.         Security of personal data
Inther takes appropriate technical and organizational measures to prevent the loss of personal data or unlawful processing.

Within Inther, your personal data can only be used by employees who need access to it from their position in the context of the tasks assigned to them. All our employees have a duty of confidentiality.

9.         Your rights
In principle, you have the right to inspect your own personal data. Does your data appear to be incorrect, incomplete or irrelevant? Then you can make an additional request to have your data changed, supplemented or destroyed.

A request for inspection, change or deletion of personal data can be submitted by:

  • Yourself;
  • Your trustee, if you have been placed under guardianship.

You can submit a request to view, change or delete your personal data by sending a request to the above-mentioned email address. Please specify in your request minimum:

  • Your name;
  • Which data you wish to view and/or which data you wish to see changed or destroyed.

Inther can refuse a request, for example due to legal obligations.

Do you want to withdraw your consent? For this you can send us an email. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the personal data processed up to that point.

We trust it will never be necessary, but if you do have a complaint about our use of personal data, please email details of your complaint to GDPR@inthergroup.com or send a letter to the above address. We will investigate and respond to any complaints we receive.

If you do not agree with the way Inther handles your personal data or handles your request or objection, you can submit a complaint to the Dutch Data Protection Authority. Information on how to do this can be found on the website of the Dutch Data Protection Authority.
