  • Other information you voluntarily decide to share with BOW B.V., such as social media accounts, IP addresses, browser settings, feedback and opinions;

Your personal data will only be processed if this is necessary for the performance of the contract in which you have commissioned BOW B.V. or on the basis of your consent, which you may withdraw at any time. In addition, BOW B.V. may also process your personal data if it has a legitimate interest and does not constitute a disproportionate invasion of your privacy.

‍

‍Howis your personal data handled?

‍BOWB.V. shall ensure that your personal data is protected against loss, unlawful processing or misuse.

It has taken the following technical and organizational measures, among others:

  • Logical access control, through the use of passwords, for example;
  • Securing computer systems with firewalls, anti-virus programs and DDoS prevention;
  • Minimization and updating of personal data;
  • Encrypting and pseudonymizing data where appropriate;
  • Control of recognized authorizations.


How long will your personal data be kept?

‍BOWB.V. takes great care to ensure that all of your data is carefully stored and protected. It retains your data no longer than is necessary for the purpose for which it was processed. For example, your personal data will be kept for as long as you use the Services. BOW B.V. complies with the statutory retention periods. For example, in general, personal data of website visitors are kept for 12 (twelve) months.


‍Willyour personal data beshared with third parties?

‍Inprinciple, your personal data will not be shared with third parties without your consent. However, sometimes it may be necessary to share your personal data with third parties. For example, it may be necessary to share your personal data with judicial authorities or an opposing party. In addition, it may be necessary to share your personal data in order to conclude an agreement or notarized deed. Data may also be shared with contractors engaged by BOW B.V., such as a hosting party. In this case, for example, we use Webflow for the hosting of our website. Furthermore, there may be legal obligations pursuant to which BOW B.V. must provide your personal data to third parties. If a court order requires BOW B.V. to provide personal data to third parties, it will have to comply with it. Your personal data will not be shared with third parties for commercial purposes.


Third-party websites and services

BOW B.V.'s working method is designed to minimize the need to share information with third parties. Information is therefore only shared if this is necessary to perform its service and only with parties that can guarantee an appropriate level of protection and security.Through BOW B.V.'s website, users may, for example, link to other third party websites that provide useful information. These privacy regulations apply only to personal data that BOW B.V. itself processes in the context of its Services. These privacy regulations therefore do not apply to third party websites or applications. BOW B.V. cannot guarantee that these third parties will handle your personal data in a safe and reliable manner. You should therefore always read the privacy statement of these third parties.


Transfer of personal data

For the purposes described in these privacy regulations, BOW B.V. may transfer your personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA). For example, because our hosting party, Webflow, has its servers stationed in the United States, when you use our website, your data will therefore be processed outside the EEA. When data is processed outside the EEA, BOW B.V. will take appropriate measures to ensure that personal data is properly secured and the country to which data is transferred provides an appropriate level of security. For example, BOW B.V. has ensured that Webflow is a member of the Data Privacy Framework (DPF), under which the European Commission has ruled that U.S. companies may receive personal data from the EEA.


Automated decision-making

‍BOWB.V. 】Does not make decisions on the basis of automated processing about matters which could (significantly) affect individuals. These are decisions that are made by computer programs or systems, without the presence of a person (e.g. an employee of BOW B.V.).
