Privacy Policy
At TopServiss B.V., safeguarding your privacy is paramount. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you engage with our services, visit our website, or interact with us in any capacity. We encourage you to carefully review this policy to understand how your data is handled.
General Privacy Principle
In principle, no processing of Personally Identifiable Information (‘PII’) is allowed unless one or more lawful bases or ‘grounds’ (‘grondslagen’) for processing PII apply. Those processing grounds are mentioned further below.
Personally Identifiable Information or ‘PII’
Personally Identifiable Information or ‘PII’ is any information or data that could possibly be used to identify a certain natural person – you and I. Think, for instance, of names, postal addresses, passport numbers, ‘sedula’ numbers, driver’s license numbers, (email) addresses, occupations, dates of birth, bank account numbers, IP addresses, fingerprints, telephone numbers, etc.
Processing of PII
Processing (‘verwerking’) of PII means, without limitation, each action or a set of actions regarding the collection, recording, keeping, updating, amending, asking for, consulting, using, providing by way of sending through, distribution, or any other form of making available, joining, linking, shielding, erasing, and destruction of personally identifiable information of natural persons who are clients of TopServiss B.V.
Privacy Policy
The ‘Privacy Policy’ is the ‘Top of the House’ privacy instrument. It mentions most importantly what kind of personally identifiable information we collect, for what purpose we do that, how we go about with marketing and privacy, sharing with third parties, how long we keep it, suitable organization and technical measures to protect the PII, the rights the individuals have, the use of cookies, and our contact information. The ‘Privacy Policy’ can be found on our website.
PII Processing Grounds
Processing of PII is only allowed if one or more of the following processing grounds apply:
Please note: Of the six processing grounds mentioned above, numbers 1, 2, 3, and 6 are the most relevant to processing of PII by TopServiss B.V.
Privacy by Design / Privacy by Default
‘Privacy by Design’ means that TopServiss B.V. will take such organizational measures to ensure that products and processes etc. are developed and created right from the start with privacy in mind, thus safeguarding data privacy. ‘Privacy by Default’ means that TopServiss B.V. will take such organizational measures to ensure that PII is processed with the highest privacy protection, that privacy-friendly standards, short storage periods are used, and limited accessibility is established to avoid that PII is not available for everyone to access.
