Privacy policy
DUFAS processes personal data. In this privacy statement, we answer the most important questions about the processing of personal data by DUFAS.
Whose personal data does DUFAS process?
DUFAS processes personal data of individuals with whom we have, want to have, or have had a relationship. For example, this could be data from:
- Employees of DUFAS;
- Employees of organizations affiliated with DUFAS;
- Or individuals who are connected to a company or organization with which we have, want to have, or have had a relationship.
Who is responsible for processing my personal data?
The statutory director of DUFAS is responsible for processing your personal data.
For what purposes does DUFAS process personal data?
We use personal data to properly invite people to activities, inform them, or support them in their activities. We also need personal data for newsletters. Data can also be used for promotional or marketing purposes, for example, for conferences organized by third parties. If individuals no longer wish to be approached for these purposes, they can indicate this by clicking 'unsubscribe' at the bottom of an email. DUFAS also takes photos and videos during its activities to use for publication via digital newsletters and social media platforms. We ask for permission from the individuals shown in the images for this publication. Finally, we process data for practical matters, such as supporting administrative processes related to membership fees.
Storing Personal Data
DUFAS actively uses, manages, and cleanses the NAW (Name, Address, City) data of individuals for inviting them to conferences and sending newsletters in a database. A general check of the database is carried out once a year, and individuals who are still in our database without permission are removed.
Right to Access
You have the right to access, rectification, or erasure of your personal data. You can submit a request for this by sending an email to info@dufas.nl or sending a letter with the request to our postal address. If you receive information via MailChimp, you can do this via the instructions in the footer of MailChimp.
Right to File a Complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens)
You have the right to file a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority if you believe that DUFAS has mishandled your personal data.
Note: Specific terms such as "Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens" are usually kept in the original language in legal texts and official documents to avoid confusion, as they refer to specific legal entities.
