Simme B.V. (referred to as “we” or “us”), based in the Netherlands, provides services to our clients and other (natural) persons who have contacted us (referred to as “you”). Our services include offering an intranet platform for organizations and other services as described on our website and in our terms and conditions. This privacy policy applies to our website www.simme.com / www.simme.nl (“Website”), our online application (“Application”), and the services we provide (“Services”). We handle your personal data in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (“Relevant Legislation”).

Simme B.V. never sells personal data to third parties.

Personal data

To offer our Website, Application, and Services, we process personal data. The term “personal data” refers to information that can identify you as an individual.

Your consent

We may store your data at various moments, for example, when you use our Application, our Services, or when you contact us. We are allowed to process your data because we request your consent via this privacy policy. If you choose not to share your data, we may not be able to provide our services to you.

What data do we process?

When you use our Website, Application, or any of our other Services, we may collect the following data:

  • Personal identification information such as your first and last name;
  • Contact information such as phone number and (personal) email address;
  • Other information you voluntarily choose to share with us, such as social media accounts, IP addresses, browser settings, feedback, and opinions;
  • Additional information necessary for our services.

This includes data you provide directly to us as well as data we obtain through our clients. We strive to use only the data necessary for the operation of our Application and to ensure the quality of our services.

Security

We ensure that your data is protected against loss, unlawful processing, or misuse. Therefore, your data is stored on servers in European data centers that comply with applicable ISO and NEN safety and data standards. Additionally, we implement the following measures:

  • Secure access control with passwords;
  • Additional security via two-factor authentication for logging in;
  • Protection of computer systems with firewalls and antivirus programs.

Retention period

Simme B.V. will retain your personal data as long as necessary for the purposes described in this privacy policy. This means we will keep your data at least for the duration of your use of our Services. We will delete all related personal data thirty days after the termination of the agreement.

Sharing personal data with third parties

It may happen that other parties receive your data from us. We enter into a data processing agreement with these parties to ensure they handle your data with care, and they only receive the data necessary to perform their service. These parties use your data solely according to our instructions and not for their own purposes. These parties are considered “processors” under the Relevant Legislation.

Data transfers

We will only process your data within the European Union. Outside the European Union, we will only process your data if that country offers an adequate level of protection for your data. Without your consent, we will never transfer your data to other countries or parties than those mentioned above.
