For what purposes do we process your personal data?

Offering our services

We process your personal data to offer you our services and to meet your requests. We will process your personal data in order to let you participate in a Program and execute the agreement that we have with you. We may use your personal data you provide us to tailor our Programs. We can also process your personal data to improve our services, for example by requesting feedback.

Contacting you

We process your personal data in order to contact you and answer your questions and to be able to meet your requests. We may also process your personal data to make a complaint or claim.

If you have participated in a Program or if you have indicated that you wish to receive marketing communications from us, we may send you promotional e-mails time to time. This may include our newsletters and invitations to future Programs. You can opt-out of any future marketing messages from us at any time.

Meeting with legal obligations

We may process your personal data because this is necessary to meet with applicable laws and regulations such as tax laws. In addition, we may process personal data to enforce our terms and conditions.

What is the legal ground for processing your personal data?

We only process your personal data when a legal ground applies as set forth in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

  • We may process your personal data because we will enter or have entered into an agreement with you. This is the case when you register for and/or attend a Program.
  • Legal We can also process your personal data because it is necessary to comply with a legal obligation that applies to us. We are for example obliged to keep our administration up to date and to secure our systems.
  • Legitimate We may also process personal data because we have a legitimate business interest in doing so. This is the case, for example, when we respond to your questions and requests, if we want to improve our services and when we wish to bring our services to your attention. We value your privacy and we always take your interests into account prior to the processing of your personal data based on the ground of a legitimate business interest.
  • In some cases, we ask for your informed consent to process your personal data. For example, if you have not attended a Program before, we may ask your consent for direct marketing messages. Also, we may ask your consent when we would process information that qualify as sensitive personal data, such as medical information.

If you have given consent, you can at any time revoke such consent and we will not further process your personal data.

Do we share your personal data with third parties?

 We can share your personal data with parties that perform services on our behalf and act as a data processor. This is for example the case for our hosting provider and the third party involved in sending our newsletters and other direct marketing e-mails. Prior to involving a data processor, we enter into a data processing agreement with this third party.

We can transfer certain types of personal data to third parties who qualify as (co) data controllers. This is the case, for example, when we collaborate with other organizations to organize a Program, such as the Program location or external trainers. These parties process your personal data for their own purposes and accordingly their own terms and conditions apply. We recommend reading their terms and privacy statement.

Finally, we may share your personal data with our (potential) successors and with competent authorities to the extent required by law.

Will your data be transferred to other countries?

In principle, we process your personal data only within the European Economic Area (EEA). We can make use of (e-mail) service providers, hosting parties or cooperation partners that may be located outside the EEA. Where personal data is being transferred to countries outside the EEA where the level of protection is not as strict as we are used to within the

EER we will take additional measures to legitimize the transfer and protect your personal data such as entering into a data transfer agreement based on the Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.

Are your personal data safe?

We have taken various appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect the personal data from loss or unlawful processing. We protect our systems and applications in accordance with the applicable standards for information security.

We ensure that only authorized employees have access to your personal data. Our employees are aware of the confidential nature of your personal data and are bound by a confidentiality obligation.

How long do we store your personal data?

 We do not retain your personal data longer than necessary for the purposes as described in this Privacy Statement. The retention period we use depends on the data processing activity and whether there are any specific statutory retention obligations.

We keep your personal data as long as we have a (contractual) relationship with you. If we no longer have a (contractual) relationship with you, we will store your personal data up to two years after the relationship has ended, unless a legal retention obligation applies. For example, we are obliged to keep certain (billing) data for at least 7 years for the tax authorities.

What are your rights?

The GDPR grants every data subject rights in relation to their personal data. You have the right to inspect and rectify or delete personal data that relates to you. You may also object against the (further) use of your personal data or ask us to limit the processing of your personal data. In certain cases, you may request us to pass your personal data on to a new service provider.
