If you use this online Platform and IRM’s services, we may sometimes require data from you. You provide these data, for example, via a form on this website, by e-mail, or telephone. This may include your name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address. We process your personal data when we have a legal basis to do so.

For example, for the purpose of:

• sending a newsletter or an invitation,
• ensuring that we can call you if this is necessary to perform our services or following a request from you,
• applying other legal obligations.

IRM will not store personal data for longer than is required or specified in legislation to achieve the purposes for which it is collected.

Security of your data

IRM takes appropriate measures to protect personal data against abuse, loss, unauthorized access, and other undesirable actions. These measures are included in our information security policy, in accordance with the applicable standards for public communications. We ensure that your personal data will not be lost or used by individuals who should not have your data. For example, if you have submitted a query, your personal data can only be viewed by employees who are dealing with your query.

If there is a data breach despite all precautions, you can report it by sending an e-mail to info@bouwplaatsirm.nl. We will treat your report and information confidentially.

Your rights

The European Privacy legislation (General Data Protection Regulation or GDPR) grants you a number of rights when an organization processes your personal data.

For example, you have the right to view, rectify, and erase your personal data. You can also request information on what personal data we have from you and what they are used for. To do this, you need to make an appointment to visit us. For this, it is important that you can identify yourself and prove that the personal data actually belongs to you. It is not permitted to view the data of other persons.
