‍

Lawful basis for the processing of personal data

The organisation of our website, systems infrastructure, and compliance processes means that personal data is processed on shared platforms. We have processes in place to ensure that only those who need access to your data are able to do so. Some data may be collected for multiple purposes, as described above, and some data may be shared with third parties where necessary.

When we process on the lawful basis of legitimate interest, we apply the following tests to determine whether it is appropriate:

  • The purpose test – is there a legitimate interest behind the processing?
  • The necessity test – is the processing necessary for that purpose?
  • The balancing test – is the legitimate interest overridden, or not, by the individual’s interests, rights, or freedoms?

‍

Storage of personal data

Our website infrastructure may be hosted in Europe or other regions where our service providers operate.

  • Our website and related services may be hosted on secure servers and accessed only by authorized personnel involved in the operation and maintenance of the platform.
  • We may use third-party service providers to support the functionality of the website, including hosting, analytics, and communication tools.
  • These service providers may include cloud service providers (CSPs) such as Amazon Web Services, HubSpot, Stripe, or similar platforms.
  • Where applicable, such providers may process data in the European Union or other jurisdictions in accordance with their respective data protection standards.
  • We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data.
  • We apply data retention practices for both digital and, where applicable, physical records, as described in this policy.
  • We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including for legal, regulatory, or reporting requirements.

‍

Your rights as a data subject

As a data subject whose personal information we hold, you have certain rights. If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us via contact@yieldseekers.nl or use the information supplied in the ‘Contact us’ section below. To process your request, we will ask you to provide two valid forms of identification for verification purposes.

Your rights are as follows:

The right to be informed
As a data controller, we are obliged to provide clear and transparent information about our data processing activities. This is provided by this privacy notice and any related communications we may send you.

The right of access
You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you free of charge. Once we have verified your identity and, if relevant, the authority of any third-party requestor, we will provide access to the personal data we hold about you as well as the following information:

  • The purposes of the processing.
  • The categories of personal data concerned.
  • The recipients to whom the personal data has been disclosed.
  • The retention period or envisioned retention period for that personal data.
  • When personal data has been collected from a third party, the source of the personal data.

If there are exceptional circumstances that mean we can refuse to provide the information, we will explain them. If requests are frivolous or vexatious, we reserve the right to refuse them. If answering requests is likely to require additional time or occasion unreasonable expense (which you may have to meet), we will inform you.

‍

The right to rectification
When you believe we hold inaccurate or incomplete personal information about you, you may exercise your right to correct or complete this data. This may be used with the right to restrict processing to make sure that incorrect/incomplete information is not processed until it is corrected.

‍

The right to erasure (the ‘right to be forgotten’)
Where no overriding legal basis or legitimate reason continues to exist for processing personal data, you may request that we delete the personal data. This includes personal data that may have been unlawfully processed. We will take all reasonable steps to ensure erasure.

‍

The right to restrict processing
You may ask us to stop processing your personal data. We will still hold the data but will not process it any further. This right is an alternative to the right to erasure. If one of the following conditions applies, you may exercise the right to restrict processing:

  • The accuracy of the personal data is contested.
  • Processing of the personal data is unlawful.
  • We no longer need the personal data for processing, but the personal data is required for part of a legal process.
  • The right to object has been exercised and processing is restricted pending a decision on the status of the processing.

‍

The right to data portability
You may request your set of personal data be transferred to another controller or processor, provided in a commonly used and machine-readable format. This right is only available if the original processing was based on consent, the processing is by automated means and if the processing is based on the fulfilment of a contractual obligation.

‍

The right to object
You have the right to object to our processing of your data where:

  • Processing is based on legitimate interest;
  • Processing is for the purpose of direct marketing;
  • Processing is for the purposes of scientific or historic research; or
  • Processing involves automated decision-making and profiling.
