Privacy policy

PRIVACY

Exterus considers your privacy to be paramount and ensures that the personal data we receive is treated in confidence. Exterus is responsible for careful processing of personal data in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This privacy statement sets out how and why we use and process your personal data.

PERSONAL DATA

Personal data encompasses all data that can be traced to a natural person. We are entitled to process personal data obtained from all persons with whom we are in contact, or who visit this website. We also process personal data from contacts of our clients (or potential clients), business customers, suppliers or business partners, employees and job applicants. 

PARTY RESPONSIBLE

The parties responsible for processing your personal data are Exterus B.V. or Exterus Payrolling B.V. (hereinafter collectively: ‘Exterus’), both established at Prinses Alexialaan 80, in The Hague. The party responsible to you is the business with whom you are (actually or potentially) entering a legal relationship. The party responsible for processing personal data through the website is Exterus B.V.

PURPOSE OF AND BASIS FOR DATA PROCESSING

Exterus may only process personal data from you if we have a statutory basis for doing so. Exterus will process your personal data for the purposes of ensuring efficient, effective business operations. In general, we will only amass and process your data for the purposes of providing our services, for recruitment purposes or where you have consented to us doing so.

In the table below you can see what personal data Exterus B.V. and Exterus Payrolling B.V. process and for what purposes.

WHO IS ENTITLED VIEW YOUR DATA?

Employees of Exterus and those third parties enlisted by Exterus to serve as data processing agents are entitled to view your data on the proviso that this is necessary for the performance of their duties. All parties are obliged to maintain confidentiality pursuant to the GDPR and/or in line with their contract with Exterus.

PERSONAL DATA RETENTION PERIOD

Exterus will not store your data any longer than is necessary for the purposes for which your data is being processed, nor longer than is statutorily permitted. Your data will be deleted upon expiry of the retention period.

SHARING DATA WITH THIRD PARTIES

Exterus is entitled to share your data with third parties insofar as this is necessary for the provision of services with due regard for the aforementioned purposes.

Furthermore, Exterus is entitled to issue personal data to a third party, such as a regulatory body or another public authority insofar as there is a statutory obligation to do so.

A processing agreement will be entered into with this third party processing your personal data on behalf of and at the request of Exterus, as a result of which this third party will be similarly required to comply with the GDPR. Third parties enlisted by Exterus who offer services that entail responsibility for processing personal data—such as a tax advisor, solicitor or accountant—will themselves be bound by an obligation of compliance with the GDPR when processing (or continuing to process) your personal data.

Sharing data with third parties whose services have been enlisted and who are situated outside of the EU will always be done in line with the GDPR.

FORWARDING TO OTHER EXTERUS ENTITIES

Personal data amassed by Exterus can be forwarded to other Exterus entities forming part of the Exterus organization. Nonetheless, these entities will only be entitled to use the data for the purposes for which you have issued the data to Exterus. If you post information on the website of Exterus, then we will take this to mean that you are expressly consenting to Exterus sharing that information with other Exterus entities forming part of the Exterus organization.

PROTECTION OF YOUR DATA

Exterus protects all personal data it processes from unauthorized, unlawful access, alteration, publication, use and destruction. To this end, and taking into account the status of the technology, we have taken appropriate technical and organizational measures to guarantee a level of security tailored to the level of risk. If Exterus uses the services of third parties, then, within the framework of data protection, Exterus will set out agreements on sufficient security measures in a processing agreement. If it is obliged to do so, Exterus will report any loss, theft or misuse of your personal data to you as swiftly as possible.

PERSONAL CONTACT WITH EXTERUS

Many instances of communication between you and Exterus will be done by telephone, through forms, e-mail or social media. The personal data that you provide to us in this regard will be recorded if this is necessary for the purposes of our service provision.
