Privacy Policy – Meat Limburg BV

Version 0.2

This page was last updated on 14-09-2021.

We are aware that you place your trust in us, and we therefore consider it our responsibility to protect your privacy. Personal data is handled and secured with care. On this page, we explain what data we collect when you use our website, why we collect it, and how it helps improve your user experience. This way, you have a clear understanding of how we operate.

 

This privacy policy applies to the services of Meat Limburg BV, legally operating under the entity Meat Limburg BV. Please note that Meat Limburg BV is not responsible for the privacy practices of other websites or sources. By using this website, you agree to this privacy policy.

 

Meat Limburg BV respects the privacy of all users of its website and ensures that the personal information you provide is treated confidentially.

Processing of Personal Data

Meat Limburg may process your personal data because you use our services and/or because you provide this information to us directly. For example, you may share your contact details when you wish to communicate with us, request more information about our services, subscribe to our newsletter, apply for a position within our organisation, or engage in business with us.

 

We process this personal data in order to deliver our services and/or to keep you informed. Without this information, we would not be able to provide our services or respond to your requests. Your personal data is used exclusively for handling your inquiry or request.

 

The data is stored on Meat Limburg BV’s own secure servers or those of a third party. We do not combine this data with other personal data in our possession.

 

We may also obtain information about you indirectly via third parties. In such cases, we require these third parties to ensure that the information has been obtained lawfully and that we are permitted to receive and use it.

 

In addition, we are interested in data that provides insight into how our website is used—for example, the number of visitors over a certain period, the countries our visitors come from, and which pages are viewed most often. For this purpose, we may register your IP address and domain name. We also track the type of browser used in order to optimise the website’s features and functionality for the user’s device. All information collected in this way remains the property of Meat Limburg.

Communication

When you send us emails or other messages, we may retain those communications. In some cases, we may ask you to provide personal information that is relevant to the specific situation. This allows us to process your inquiries and respond to your requests effectively.

 

The data is stored on Meat Limburg BV’s own secure servers or those of a third party. We do not combine this information with other personal data in our possession.

Cookies

We collect data for research purposes in order to gain a better understanding of our customers, so that we can tailor our services accordingly.

 

For this purpose, the use of functional cookies is necessary. A cookie is a small, simple file that is sent along with pages of this website and stored by your browser on your computer’s hard drive. We use cookies to remember your settings and preferences. You can disable these cookies through your browser settings. The exact method varies by browser; please refer to your browser’s help function if needed. You can also configure your browser to refuse cookies altogether, although this may limit your website experience.

 

Our website also places cookies from the American company Google as part of the “Analytics” service. We use this service to track and generate reports on how visitors use our website. Google may share this information with third parties if required by law, or insofar as third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. We have no control over this.

Use of Personal Data

Meat Limburg collects and uses your personal data to provide the information, services, and support you request, as well as to manage and maintain the website. We may also use your personal data to keep you informed about Meat Limburg’s services. In addition, your data may be used for research and analysis purposes in order to improve both our website and our services.

 

Meat Limburg requires a legal basis to process your personal data. We process data based on grounds such as the performance of a contract, compliance with a legal obligation, or your consent. Where processing is based on consent, you have the right to withdraw it at any time.

 

Your privacy is respected by all our employees. Personal information is treated as strictly confidential, including by third parties responsible for the secure storage of your data, and is not used for any purposes other than those stated above.

Disclosure to Third Parties

Meat Limburg neither sells, rents, nor leases customer lists to third parties. We will never disclose your personal data without notice, unless required by law or when we in good faith believe that such action is necessary to:

 

  • comply with a legal obligation or request; or

  • protect and defend the rights or property of Meat Limburg; or

  • act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of Meat Limburg or the public.

 

However, in some cases your personal data may be processed by third parties. For example, Meat Limburg may engage suppliers to carry out administrative or operational tasks in support of our relationship with you. These suppliers are contractually and legally bound to handle your personal data confidentially and to respect your privacy. They only have access to the data necessary to perform their duties. Where required, we will conclude a data processing agreement with such third parties.

Retention of Personal Data

As a general principle, personal data is not retained for longer than is necessary. Meat Limburg therefore does not store personal data longer than strictly required to achieve the purposes for which it was collected.

 

The only exception applies to data that must be retained for a longer period due to legal obligations. In such cases, we comply with the applicable statutory retention periods.

Security of Personal Data

Meat Limburg ensures appropriate organisational, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal data. The personal data you provide is stored on computer servers in a secure, controlled environment, protected against unauthorised access, use, or disclosure.

Automated Decision-Making

Meat Limburg does not make decisions based on automated processing that could have (significant) consequences for individuals.

Your Rights

You have the right, among other things, to access your personal data, request rectification or deletion, restrict processing, and exercise your right to data portability.

 

If you wish to exercise your rights, you can send a specified request to info@MeatLimburg.nl. To ensure that the request for access has been made by you, we ask you to include a copy of your identification document with your request. Please black out your passport photo, MRZ (machine readable zone—the strip of numbers at the bottom of the passport), passport number, and citizen service number (BSN) on this copy. This is to protect your privacy.

 

Meat Limburg will respond to your request as soon as possible, and in any case within four weeks.
