We save the information for the duration of our cooperation and for up to 24 months after we have terminated the cooperation, unless the law requires a longer period of time.

Seminars, webinars, lectures and trainings

When you register for an event, we need your contact information to be able to send you a booking confirmation and other documents and to be able to carry out the event itself. We then only use the data for as long as required by the Accounting Act.

When necessary – and only then – we will share your personal data with them. For these suppliers, we have a data processing agreement that regulates that they only use the information in accordance with our instructions.

We may also need to share the data with government authorities as required by law.

Where do we process your data?

We have systems and internal processes in place to ensure that all the information we process is protected from unauthorized access. Only those employees who need access to the personal data we store.
Our goal is to process your personal data within the EU/EEA, but even if any of our suppliers are established or store information in other countries, we only share your personal data on a strictly need-based basis.

Where do we collect your personal data from?

In addition to the personal data you provide to us, we may receive information that is publicly available from third parties such as LinkedIn to manage recruitment processes. In these situations, we will notify you and you will have to consent to us storing the information.
