Privacy statement

This privacy statement explains which personal data Poorthuis Industrial Services processes when you visit our website or contact us, why we do so and what your rights are. We handle your data with care and comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Who are we?

Poorthuis Industrial Services
Schelmaatstraat 12
7575 BD Oldenzaal
The Netherlands
Email: info@poorthuis.com
Phone: +31 541 513 415

We are the controller for the processing of the personal data described in this statement.

Which data do we process?

Contact form. When you fill in the contact form, we receive your name, email address and message, and, if you provide them, your company name and phone number.

Internship or job application. When you apply for an internship or vacancy, we receive the details you enter, such as your name, contact details, studies, school, year of study, preferred period and motivation, and your CV if you attach it.

Email and phone. When you email or call us, we process the information you share.

Website visits. With your consent, we measure how the website is used (see Cookies). In addition, our web server briefly keeps log files for technical and security reasons, including your IP address.

What do we use your data for?

• To answer and handle your question, quote request or breakdown report (performance of a contract or your request for one).
• To assess your internship or job application and contact you (your request, and our legitimate interest in finding suitable candidates).
• To improve the website with anonymous statistics (only with your consent).
• To keep the website secure and working (our legitimate interest).

We do not use your data for any other purpose, we do not sell it and we do not make decisions based solely on automated processing.

How long do we keep your data?

• Messages via the contact form and email: as long as needed to handle your question, and after that for a maximum of two years. If an assignment follows, we keep the data for as long as the law requires (seven years for our accounts).
• Internship and job applications: until no later than four weeks after the procedure ends. With your consent we keep them for up to one year, in case a suitable position becomes available later.
• Statistics: a maximum of fourteen months.

Who do we share your data with?

We only share your data with parties that help us run the website and our communication, and only as far as necessary. We have agreements with these parties about security and confidentiality:

• our hosting provider in the Netherlands, where the website and forms run;
• Microsoft (Microsoft 365), which we use to send and receive email;
• Google (Google Analytics), only if you consent to statistics;
• YouTube (Google), only if you click on the company film yourself.

Some of these parties may process data outside the European Economic Area. In that case this is based on the safeguards required by the GDPR, such as the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or standard contractual clauses. Otherwise we only share your data if the law requires us to.

Cookies

Our website uses as few cookies as possible.

• Necessary: we remember your cookie choice so you don’t see the notice every time. No consent is needed for this.
• Statistics: if you click “Allow cookies”, Google Analytics places cookies to measure how visitors use the website. We only use this information to improve the website. If you click “Necessary cookies only”, these cookies are not placed.
• Video: the company film is only loaded from YouTube when you click on it. Only then can YouTube place cookies.

You can change your choice at any time via “Cookie settings” at the bottom of every page. You can also delete cookies in your browser settings.

Security

We take appropriate measures to protect your data against loss and unauthorised use. The website uses a secure connection (https), the forms are protected against spam and only employees who need the data have access to it.

Your rights

You have the right to access, correct or delete your personal data. You can also object to the processing, have it restricted or have your data transferred. If you have given consent, you can withdraw it at any time.

Send your request to info@poorthuis.com. We will respond within four weeks. To prevent misuse, we may ask you to identify yourself.

Not satisfied with how we handle your data? Let us know and we will look for a solution together. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl) or the supervisory authority in your country.

Changes

We may update this privacy statement, for example when the website changes. The most recent version is always on this page.
