How does Betabit handle your data?
Betabit collects and processes personal data where this is necessary to provide its services. It's important to us that this is done in a careful, confidential, and transparent way, in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and related laws and regulations. Betabit is very meticulous about processing your personal data.
Purpose of the processing
We only process data that is necessary to facilitate the best possible service, for the execution of services agreed and related activities, for approaching and staying in touch with customers, suppliers, business partners, and for offering services, performing marketing and communications activities, and recruiting and selecting staff.
Categories of personal data we process
Depending on the purpose of the processing, we will ask you for specific personal details. For example, we need a valid email address to be able to send a newsletter or email invitation about an event and we need contact and invoicing information to provide services.
For customers (current and future), business partners, suppliers, and interested parties or visitors of events, we process name, telephone number, and email address. For potential new employees, we process name, telephone number, and email address. If we start up a recruitment process, we also process the CV we received, moments of contact, and assessment scores.
When approaching potential new employees, Betabit uses social media portals for business services.
Security, sharing, and storage
Betabit has implemented appropriate technical and organisational measures, in line with the relevant laws and regulations, to prevent abuse of and unauthorized access to your personal data. Betabit staff only has access to your data if this is necessary for the performance of their duties.
Betabit treats your personal data as confidential. We share your personal data with others only in the following situations:
- You have instructed or explicitly allowed us to do so.
- Betabit must provide your personal data in order to comply with a statutory obligation or judicial verdict.
- It is necessary for the provision of our services.
Betabit doesn't retain your personal data any longer than is strictly necessary for the fulfillment of the purpose for which they were collected or for which they are being processed.
Transfer abroad
If we transfer your personal data abroad (for example by using service providers located outside the EU), we will only do so if appropriate safeguards are in place.
