If you share information with us and we use this information – other than at your request – to contact you at a later time, we will ask you for explicit permission.

These third parties are all bound to secrecy by virtue of the agreement between them and us or an oath or legal obligation.

Retention periods

We keep your data as long as you are a client of ours. This means that we keep your customer profile until you indicate that you no longer wish to use our services. If you indicate this to us, we will also regard this as a request to forget. This also means that we do not store your data for longer than two years from the last moment of contact or transaction, unless there is a legal justification for doing so.
