On what legal grounds does HAMELINK & VAN DEN TOOREN process personal data?
The processing of personal data may be necessary for concluding an agreement or in the run-up thereto. When you grant us the assignment to provide services in the field of Dutch tax law, we process personal data if and insofar this is necessary for the execution of that assignment.
Furthermore, it is possible that personal data we process, is processed based on your consent. If you do not want HAMELINK & VAN DEN TOOREN to process the personal data (which it processes with your permission), you can withdraw your consent. HAMELINK & VAN DEN TOOREN will then stop processing the personal data, unless the law or a legitimate interest of HAMELINK & VAN DEN TOOREN or a third party opposes to this. If HAMELINK & VAN DEN TOOREN stops processing personal data at your request, this may result in you no longer being able to use (all) our services.
We do not retain the personal data longer than necessary for the purpose for which you have provided with it, unless longer retention is required to comply with a statutory obligation or to pursue a legitimate interest of HAMELINK & VAN DEN TOOREN. For example, an administrative retention obligation of seven (7) years applies for certain data. Personal data provided to HAMELINK & VAN DEN TOOREN within the context of an application, will be retained for up to four (4) weeks after the application process has been completed, unless you have given your consent for longer retention thereof. Finally, processing takes place based on a legitimate interest of HAMELINK & VAN DEN TOOREN, such as processing within the context of internal management, for effective communication and quality improvement.
