Retention period: 2 years

Click here to find more information about Facebook Pixel and the cookies it uses:

https://nl-nl.facebook.com/business/help/651294705016616

We use Facebook Pixel to measure target groups and to build and optimise our Facebook advertising campaigns. Some of the key reasons for this is that it allows us to see how users move between different devices when they visit our website and Facebook, to ensure that our Facebook advertisements are seen, and to make further analyses about which content the visitor has seen and which interaction was used on our website.

The collected data is anonymous meaning that we cannot see personal data of individuals users. Facebook, however, does retain and process the collected data. The information we offer here is based on the information that is currently available. Facebook can link the data to your Facebook account and use this data for their own advertising purposes, which complies with Facebook’s privacy policy that can be accessed via the following link: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.

The Facebook Pixel also allows Facebook and its partners to show advertisements on and outside of Facebook.

A cookie for these particular purposes is stored on your computer as well. By using this website, you agree to the data processing in connection with the integration of Facebook Pixel.

We maintain the generally accepted standards for technological and operational security measures to protect visitors’ details against loss, misuse, alteration, or destruction.

What are your rights regarding data processing?
The General Data Protection Regulation provides website visitors with several rights. For example, you can send us a request to access your own details that we have stored.

Furthermore, you can request us to improve, supplement, remove, or protect your details when these are incorrect, incomplete, or irrelevant, or when they are processed in any other way that conflicts with a statutory regulation. You can do this by sending an email to k.baas@hmscontactcenters.nl.

In order to be sure that you are sending the request for inspection, we ask you to include a copy of your identification document. With regard to this copy, we advise you to blacken your passport photo, the MRZ (machine readable zone: the line with numbers at the bottom of the page of the passport), the document number and citizen service number. This is to protect your privacy. We will respond to your request as soon as possible, but no later than within four weeks.

HMS Contact Centers would also like to inform you that complaints can be filed with the national regulatory authority, the Dutch Data Protection Authority. This can be done via the following link: https://autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl/nl/contact-met-de-autoriteit-persoonsgegevens/tip-ons.
