We use external processors to help us with certain services. These services may include delivery services, credit/debit card processing, marketing activities and providing customer service. This includes, among other things, that we temporarily transfer personal data to third parties for certain tasks or investigations because they need it to provide their services to De Leiding BV and ultimately to you.

For example, this processor will never be allowed to use your data on its own initiative and your data must be deleted as soon as that processor has completed the assignment.
Specifically, we work with the following external suppliers for data processing and use:
For marketing purposes, we use Google and Facebook cookies (see further under “Cookies”).
De Leiding BV also uses Google Analytics to analyze the use of the Websites and Apps and the effectiveness of AdWords ads on Google search result pages.

Read it Google privacy policy for more information. Google uses this information to record how our Websites and Apps are used, to provide us with reports about the Websites and Apps, and to provide its advertisers with information about the effectiveness of their campaigns. Google may share this information with third parties if Google is required to do so by law, or insofar as these third parties process the information on Google's behalf. De Leiding BV has no influence on this. De Leiding BV has not granted Google permission to use Analytics information obtained from it for other Google services, but has agreed to the Google Analytics Terms of Service. By using our Websites and Apps and/or using our products, you consent to the processing described above.
We can also share your information in the event that our organization or part of it is sold and the buyer needs your information to continue providing services to you.
De Leiding BV will not sell, rent, distribute or otherwise make commercially available your personal data to third parties, except as described above or with your prior consent.

You have the right to have incomplete, incorrect, inappropriate or outdated personal data corrected or deleted without delay.
To keep your details up to date, De Leiding BV requests you to notify us of any change, such as a transfer or change of email address.
You have the right to have your personal data deleted without unreasonable delay in the following cases:
It must be taken into account that De Leiding BV cannot always delete all requested personal data, for example when De Leiding BV is legally obliged to keep this information (e.g. billing information) or when its processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims. De Leiding BV will provide you with further information about this in the response to your request.
You have the right to obtain the restriction of the processing of your personal data if one of the following situations applies:
You have the right to request the transfer of your personal data (“recovery”), for example to make it easier to change service providers.

In all other cases, you cannot invoke this right (for example, when the processing of your data is based on a legal obligation).
There are two aspects to this right:
You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data on the grounds of your special situation if the processing is in the legitimate interest of De Leiding BV or in the context of the public interest. De Leiding BV will stop processing your personal data unless De Leiding BV can demonstrate compelling and legitimate grounds for processing that outweigh yours or if the processing of the personal data is related to the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims (e.g. filing a request with the court).
Insofar as the processing of the personal data is based on consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.
You have the right to file a complaint with the Data Protection Authority. You can reach them at the following address:

To exercise your rights and to prevent any unauthorized disclosure of your personal data, De Leiding BV must verify your identity. In case of doubt or uncertainty, De Leiding BV will first ask you for additional information (preferably a copy of the front of your identity card).
You can exercise your privacy rights free of charge, unless your request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, in particular because of its repetitive nature. In this case, De Leiding BV - in accordance with privacy legislation - has the right and the choice to (i) charge a reasonable fee (taking into account the administrative costs of providing the requested information or communication and the costs associated with taking the requested measures), or (ii) refuse to comply with your request.
When you submit your request electronically, the information will be provided electronically, if possible, unless you request otherwise. In any case, De Leiding BV provides you with a concise, transparent, understandable and easily accessible answer.
De Leiding BV will respond to your request as soon as possible, and in any case within one month of receiving your request. Depending on the complexity of the requests and the number of requests, that period may be extended by two months. In the event of an extension of that period, De Leiding BV will inform you here one month after receipt of the request.
If De Leiding BV does not comply with your request, De Leiding BV will always inform you in its response about the possibility to file a complaint with a supervisory authority and to file an appeal with the court.
We have developed technical and organizational security measures to prevent the destruction, loss, falsification, alteration, unauthorized access or accidental notification to third parties of personal data collected as well as any other unauthorized processing of this data. Under no circumstances can De Leiding BV be held liable for any direct or indirect damage resulting from incorrect or unlawful use of the personal data by a third party. You must comply with the safety regulations at all times, including any unauthorized access to your computer and smartphone. You are therefore solely responsible for the use that is made of the website of your computer, IP address and your identification data, as well as for its confidentiality.
