Which personal data do we process?

Personal data refers to information that relates to you or that can be linked to you. Any action performed with your personal data, such as collecting, storing, using, sharing or deleting it, is referred to as the “processing” of personal data.

We process personal data that you have provided to us yourself, as well as personal data that is publicly available. This includes contact details and other personal data required for the performance of our services, such as your name, address, postcode, city of residence, telephone number, (business) email address, company name, job title, bank account number and any other information necessary for the provision of our services.

For what purposes do we process your personal data?

Engagement Builders carries out various activities, including Academy Building, team development and consultancy. We use your personal data to perform and improve our activities. In most cases, we receive your personal data directly from you.

For the coaches and/or trainers engaged by us, we use their contact details to enable them to deliver our services and we use their bank account details to pay them for their services.

For organisations that act as our clients, we use contact details to carry out our activities and to evaluate experiences afterwards, in order to continuously improve our services.

When you visit the website https://www.engagementbuilders.nl, Engagement Builders uses cookies.

Via the Engagement Builders website, you can also submit enquiries through a contact form, for example regarding Academy Building, team development or consultancy. In order to respond to your enquiry, you are required to provide your name, email address and, if you wish to be contacted by telephone, your phone number. You also enter the content of your message to Engagement Builders in the contact form. Any additional personal data that you provide in this contact form will not be processed for purposes other than responding to your enquiry.

Engagement Builders retains your personal data until your enquiry has been handled, unless we are required to retain your personal data for a longer period pursuant to statutory obligations or for the purposes of Engagement Builders’ other activities.

On what legal basis do we process your personal data?

We process your personal data because such processing is necessary for the performance of an agreement with you (or the organisation you represent), or in order to take steps at your request prior to entering into an agreement, such as providing a quotation or cost estimate.

In addition, we may process your personal data where we have a legitimate interest and where this does not result in a disproportionate infringement of your privacy. This includes, for example, processing for marketing and communication purposes in order to inform you about our services, for security purposes, to improve our services and to invite you to events organised by Engagement Builders.

You are not obliged to provide your personal data to Engagement Builders. However, if you do not provide us with your personal data, we may decide not to enter into a contractual relationship with you if the necessary personal data is not provided. 

How do we handle your personal data? 

We have implemented technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data and to prevent misuse. For example, we ensure that the systems in which your personal data is stored are secured as effectively as possible, in accordance with applicable security standards.

If, despite the security measures we have implemented, a security incident occurs that is likely to have adverse consequences for your privacy, we will inform you as soon as possible. In that case, we will also inform you of the measures we have taken to mitigate the impact of the incident and to prevent recurrence in the future.

Within Engagement Builders, access to your personal data is restricted to those employees who require it for the performance of their duties.

Do we transfer your personal data to countries outside the EU?

We do not transfer your personal data to countries outside the European Union.

How long do we retain your personal data?

Engagement Builders takes great care to ensure that all your data is stored and protected securely. We apply a data retention policy that specifies how long personal data is retained. We do not retain your personal data for longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it was processed.

Engagement Builders retains your personal data for up to two years after termination of the agreement, unless a longer retention period is required by law or necessary for Engagement Builders’ other activities. We also comply with applicable statutory retention periods.

Does Engagement Builders share your personal data with third parties?

We share your personal data with contractors engaged by us, such as coaches and trainers who provide training and coaching for the purposes of our internal business operations. In addition, we may share your personal data with our clients and/or participants for the purpose of scheduling appointments and/or enabling direct communication between our participants and our trainers and coaches.

We have entered into confidentiality agreements with all parties with whom we share your personal data, in order to ensure that such data is processed carefully and in accordance with applicable privacy legislation. In some cases, we are legally required to provide personal data to third parties. In such situations, we always seek to respect your right to privacy as much as possible.

Your personal data is not shared with third parties for commercial purposes. Your personal data is also not used for automated decision-making, including profiling.

Furthermore, you have the right to data portability.

In addition, you have the right to withdraw any consent you have given for the processing of your personal data at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent prior to its withdrawal.
