How does Bright Cape handle your personal data?

Careful, safe and confidential. That is how we deal with your personal data. To this end, Bright Cape has drawn up a policy document. 

 

Supervision of the processing of personal data

The rules on protecting your personal data are laid down in the General Data Protection Regulation. The Authority for the Protection of Personal Data (AP) supervises compliance with this law. If you believe that the provisions of this Privacy Statement are not or are insufficiently complied with by us, you have the right to submit a complaint to the AP. The contact details of the AP are: 

 

Bezuidenhoutseweg 30
2594 AV The Hague
0900-2001201 

 

Safe

To protect your privacy and the confidentiality of your data, Bright Cape takes appropriate technical and organizational security measures. We take security measures to prevent misuse of and unauthorized access to personal data, such as applying access control, firewalls and secure servers and encryption of certain types of data, such as financial information and other sensitive data. In addition to securing the systems, we also want to ensure that within Bright Cape not everyone has access to all your data. Our systems are set up in such a way that employees can only see the information for which they are authorised. 

 

Reporting of incidents

If unexpectedly it turns out that something has not gone right with the protection of your personal data after all, or we suspect that this is the case, we will report this to the AP. If the breach of your personal data has potentially adverse or detrimental consequences for you, we will let you know as soon as possible. 

 

Confidential

We assume that your information is always confidential in nature. Every employee of Bright Cape and its participations is therefore required to maintain confidentiality. This also applies to third parties hired or otherwise appointed by Bright Cape to perform tasks. Persons charged with carrying out technical work on our systems are also obliged to maintain confidentiality. In short, everyone who has access to your details is bound to secrecy. 

 

How long do we keep your data?

Bright Cape does not keep your data longer than is necessary for the purposes for which your data is processed and than is legally permitted. How long certain information is kept depends on the nature of the information and the purposes for which it is processed. The retention period may therefore differ per purpose. 

 

Disclosure to third parties

We explicitly do not provide your personal data to third parties, unless this is necessary for the execution of the agreement, if required by law or if you have given us your permission to do so. Bright Cape may also be obliged to provide personal details on the basis of legislation or regulations, on the basis of a ruling by a competent court, or in the case of fraud or abuse. If this is the case, Bright Cape will provide its cooperation. 

 

Disclosing data to countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA))

Bright Cape will not pass on your information to a company or office in a country outside the European Economic Area (EEA). 

 

Personal contact with Bright Cape

A lot of the contact between you and Bright Cape takes place by telephone, through WhatsApp, email or social media. Bright Cape may process the personal details you provide us with during this process. 

For instance, to answer your questions or maintain contact with you.

We will notify you if we process personal data about you

Before processing your data, Bright Cape provides you with information regarding our identity, the purposes for which and the ways in which we process your data, the rules that apply to it, the rights you have and how you can influence them. This provision of information may be omitted if you are already aware of the processing of your data or if a communication to you is impossible or would require a disproportionate effort on our part. 

 

What are your rights?

When Bright Cape processes personal data about you, you have certain rights according to the applicable regulations. Your rights will be outlined below. 

 

Insight into your data

Are you a known customer of Bright Cape and would you like to see which of your personal data is known to us? If so, you can exercise your ‘right to insight’. Please indicate which personal details you would like to receive. 

 

Right to rectification

You have the right to rectify data if your data is incorrect or incomplete. You also have the right to rectify the data if the data is not relevant for the purpose for which we are processing it, or if your data has been processed by us in violation of a legal requirement. We will inform the third party or parties who have received your data from us of any rectification, unless this is impossible or requires a disproportionate effort on our part. 

 

Right to be forgotten

In addition, you have the right to have certain data deleted. For example, if your data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which we received it, you object to the processing or if your data has been unlawfully processed by us. However, we cannot always remove all requested data, because we are (or may be) obliged to retain certain data about you. For example, your citizen’s service number (BSN) or a copy of your ID if you work or have worked for us. 

 

Right to limitation of processing

You also have the right to restrict the processing of your data. The right to restriction means that we are not allowed to process your personal data (temporarily) or to modify it. This is the case if you dispute the accuracy of the data, if you believe that the personal data is no longer needed for the purposes or if you believe that the processing of your personal data by Bright Cape is unlawful. 

 

Right of objection

You may object to the processing of your personal data by Bright Cape if your personal data are used for purposes other than those necessary for the performance of an agreement or necessary for compliance with a legal obligation. 

 

Right to dataportability

If you have provided us with your personal data yourself, you have the right to data portability in certain cases. This means that we will provide your data to you in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable manner, when you request it from us. 

 

How can you excercise your rights?

If you wish to exercise your rights, you may contact us at any time using the contact information below or by sending a letter to us, stating your name, address and telephone number. We will respond to your request within one month. 

We will ask you to identify yourself by means of a valid identification document. This allows us to verify that we are providing the personal data to the correct person. 

Excessive requests regarding the provision of information may be rejected by us. Excessive requests are those where, for example, you contact us with requests for information in excess of the average and necessary.
