  • Performance of the contract. We use your personal data for the purpose of fulfilling the agreement we have entered into with you, with our client or with your employer.

  • For entering into, performing or terminating various agreements concerning the business operations of one of our branches

  • Quality objectives such as certification
  • The ability to claim grants, premium discounts, wage cost benefits, etc.

We do not use profiling or other forms of automated decision-making.

We only process your personal data regarding our website for the following purposes:

  • Providing vacancy details at your request
  • Finding potential employers or clients at your request and distributing your CV among potential employers or clients
  • Granting access to our website
  • Using the functionalities on our website
  • Gaining an insight into how our website is used

  • Making it possible for you to e-mail a page, print it or share it via social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.

We do not collect or use information for purposes other than those described above unless we have obtained your prior consent or are permitted to do so by law.

Retention periods

We do not store your personal data for longer than is strictly necessary and to serve a specific purpose, nor do we retain your personal data for longer than permitted by law under any circumstances.

When a retention period expires, your personal data and, in all cases, all identifying properties, are erased.

In our retention period policy, we have determined the maximum retention period for each type of personal data and we strive to implement this policy consistently. In the event of a statutory obligation to retain and a related period of retention that exceeds the maximum retention period we have formulated, the statutory retention periods are given precedence.

The most relevant retention periods are briefly explained below.

  • When you communicate with our organization by telephone or in writing and explicitly indicate that you want a response to the contact. You indicate that you wish to be called back or e-mailed. Once a request has been processed, personal data is kept for a period of one year so that business interests can continue to be protected within that period and any liabilities can be countered.
  • In principle, we do not store personal data from employment contracts for longer than two years after the employment contract with the employee in question has been terminated.
  • This is different if the personal data is important to the tax authorities* or if at the end of this period there is an ongoing dispute/legal action/claim/outstanding limitation periods of claims arising from an agreement. The relevant data will then be kept for a longer period until the time of settlement or the end of the dispute/legal action/claim/outstanding limitation period.
  • We will generally retain personal data that we collect from self-employed persons in the context of an agreement for services for no longer than two years after the agreement for services with the self-employed person has been terminated.
  • This is different if the personal data is important to the tax authorities* or if at the end of this period there is an ongoing dispute/legal action/claim/outstanding limitation periods of claims arising from contracts. The relevant data is then kept for a longer period until the time of settlement or the end of the dispute/legal action/claim/outstanding limitation period.
  • We keep personal data in invoices, payslips, employment contracts, and other documents from our records that are important to the tax authorities for at least seven years from the first financial year after the end of the financial year in which the invoice is paid.
  • If you no longer wish to be mediated, you can indicate this in your account on the Intranet or with your contact person. In that case you will no longer be approached and mediated by us. After two years, your personal data will be archived in a protected environment. Your personal data will in that case only be available to us under strict conditions in accordance with the applicable purposes and time periods.

Changes to the Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy is tailored to the use and functionalities of our website and our services in our bricks and mortar offices. Changes to our website may lead to amendments being made to this cookie Privacy Policy. It is therefore advisable to regularly review this Privacy Policy on our website. If we materially change the Privacy Policy, we will notify you by using the e-mail address you provided.

Sharing data with third parties

We may disclose your personal information to third parties in accordance with this Privacy Policy and the law. Perfact Group may pass on your personal data to the following categories of recipients

  • All our locations that are members of the Perfact Group
  • Subcontractors and suppliers or clients that provide services or carry out orders on behalf of Perfact Group and also process  your data (the processors). These processors only have access to the data they require to perform their tasks and are bound by contractual obligations. We enter into an agreement with these processors so that your data is handled with care and to ensure that your data is subject to the same level of security and confidentiality
  • Third parties such as service providers who perform tasks on our behalf (such as testing, training and examination institutes, parties that measure customer satisfaction for purposes such as quality marks and certifications, external consultants, etc.)
  • In some cases, the information can be shared internally. Our employees are obliged to respect the confidentiality of your data and sign a confidentiality agreement for this purpose
  • Third parties we provide data to with your explicit consent or at your request share data in connection with the transfer of your data
  • Your pension fund, if applicable
  • Government agencies and other bodies (such as grant applicants) if we believe that we are obliged or entitled to do so.
  • To the extent strictly necessary, to the UWV Employee Insurance Board. We only do this on the basis of an obligation arising from the Eligibility for Permanent Invalidity Benefit (Restrictions) Act and/or other statutory provisions.
  • Your personal data will not be shared outside the European Union without your express consent.

Your rights

Everyone has a number of rights under the GDPR. We do our utmost to comply with this as closely as possible. Do you have any tips or remarks? Please let us know! To exercise your rights, please contact Perfact Group at info@perfact-group.com.

We have set out your rights below.

  • The right to access, rectify, or erase your data. We respect your right to access, rectify, or erase your personal data. You can send a request to access, rectify, or erase your data or withdraw permission to use your personal data to info@perfact-group.com. We will respond to your request as soon as possible, but in all cases within one calendar month. If we fail to meet this one calendar month deadline, we will notify you within the same month of the reason for the delay. We may extend our response time by two calendar months provided that we can justify this by the complexity of your request or the number of requests you have made. We will only turn down a request to access, rectify, or erase your data in exceptional circumstances: if the request is manifestly unfounded or disproportionate. A request is manifestly unfounded if the preconditions for a request have not been met, or if you request information that falls outside the scope of the GDPR. Examples include a request to access someone else’s personal data. A request is excessive if a very disproportionate burden is placed on us, for example if you make weekly requests for your files. The burden of proof to show that the request is manifestly unfounded or disproportionate rests with us.
  • Right to rectification. You can send a request for rectification to info@perfact-group.com
  • Right to be forgotten. You can erase the personal data that we have about you. It is possible that we still have to process this data for other purposes (administration or deduplication, for example).
  • Right of limitation (i.e. freezing of data). To exercise your right of limitation (this means that the processing of your personal data will be temporarily frozen until an objection or dispute has been resolved), you can also address your request to info@perfact-group.com. We will only process your personal data during the limitation period with your consent for the institution, exercise, or substantiation of (for example) a legal claim or for the protection of the rights of others or for important reasons of public interest for the European Union or for a Member State.
  • Right to data portability. This right entitles you to obtain the personal data you have provided to us, in order to transfer it to another controller (other than Perfact Group). This right applies if you give your consent or if necessary for the performance of an agreement. If you have your own account on our Intranet, you will have access to a large proportion of your personal data and will be able as a candidate, flex worker, or self-employed person to download the information on the right to data portability. You can also rectify a number of details yourself, such as updating your CV, if applicable.
  • Right to object (opposition). To exercise your right to object, you can also contact us by e-mail: info@perfact-group.com.
    You can invoke your right to object in three cases:
  • First of all, you can object to the processing of personal data in connection with your personal circumstances. However, the processing must be based on the protection of a legitimate interest or a third party to which the data is disclosed. We will stop processing the data unless there are compelling, justifiable grounds for our interest in processing that outweigh your interest in having the processing stopped.
  • Secondly, you can object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes.
  • Thirdly, you can object to the processing of your data for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes on grounds specifically related to your situation.
  • Withdrawal of consent. If the processing of your personal data is based on your consent, you also have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. However, the withdrawal of your consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing operation based on your prior consent before we have received that withdrawal or, in the event of further processing of the same data, have been continued on another basis, such as an agreement or legal obligation on the part of Perfact Group.

If you have signed up to receive information for news, events, alerts, or other communications, you may opt out by using the unsubscribe option in the e-mail you receive about this.

If you want to change or delete data that you are unable to modify yourself, you can contact your contact person and/or our branch where you concluded the contract with us.

Security

We have put security measures in place to counteract the abuse of and unauthorized access to personal data to the best of our ability. We thus ensure that the only people with access to your data are those allowed to do process it under an agreement or at your request. Access to this data must therefore be protected. Another measure we take to prevent violations of your privacy rights is to have our employees sign a non-disclosure agreement.

Our security measures are also regularly checked by means of periodic tests to identify the privacy risks. We also use SSL certificates for the secure transfer of your data and communication and e-mails containing sensitive personal data are encrypted.

If you feel that your data is not properly secured or if there are signs of misuse, or if you require more information about our security or your personal data, please contact us via info@perfact-group.com or by using the contact information below.
