PNA takes the protection and privacy of your personal data very seriously. We have therefore drawn up a single information security policy with a privacy policy that applies to all parts of PNA.
PNA takes appropriate technical and organisational measures to secure the personal data entrusted to us, in line with the applicable legal requirements and guidelines. These measures are designed to prevent abuse, loss, unauthorised access, unwanted disclosure and unauthorised changes to your personal data. If you believe that your data is not properly secured or if there are indications of misuse, please contact us as described in point 7below . Where can I go with a communication, request, question or complaint?
Within PNA, your personal data can only be used by employees who, in view of their position, should have access to them. Our employees have a duty of confidentiality and have been informed about the importance of protecting personal data. Your personal data can be exchanged between the divisions of PNA. But only when this is compatible with the purpose for which the data have been collected. For example, data that establish your identity can also be used by another part of PNA with which you wish to do business.
We will never provide your personal data to third parties, unless this is legally required or permitted, for example in the context of payment transactions or for the prevention of crime. We may provide the data you supply to us to trusted third parties if this is necessary for the implementation of the purposes described in point 3. What does PNA process personal data for? A third party can only receive our assignment if they guarantee confidentiality with regard to personal data and demonstrably have taken appropriate technical and organisational security measures which are in line with our own.
Data retention period
Your personal data will be stored carefully and no longer than is necessary for the purpose for which it was processed or is required by law. The retention period therefore depends on the situation. If your personal details are no longer necessary, they will be anonymised or removed. If you would like to know more about the retention period of your personal data by PNA in a specific situation, please contact us as described below in point 7. Where can I go with a communication, request, question or complaint?
PNA websites: cookie policy, logging, links, security
Most PNA websites, including pna-group.com, use cookies and similar techniques to enable the website to function properly and to analyse how the website is used. A cookie is a small file containing information about your visit that is created by the website and stored on your computer.
It is not always necessary to ask permission to place cookies. Cookies that do not require this are:
- Cookies needed to carry out the communication.
- Cookies that are strictly necessary for a service requested by the user (e.g. a cookie that is necessary to process an order or to log in).
- Cookies that are used to obtain information about the quality and/or effectiveness of a service provided (e.g. a website).
These cookies are referred to as functional cookies (1 and 2) or non-privacy-sensitive analytical cookies (3). All other cookies such as tracking cookies (these can identify and track you personally) require your consent before being placed.
Use the PNA websites:
- Functional cookies to make the website work properly, for example to remember your preferences or whether you have already filled in certain information.
- Non-privacy-sensitive analytical cookies to collect statistics about the use of the website, such as number of visitors, frequently visited pages and search queries. This information is used to improve the website.
The data collected with these cookies cannot be used to identify you personally and will not be used for any other purpose than that stated or made available to third parties. As explained above, it is not necessary to obtain permission for the installation of these cookies. If desired, the current list of cookie names and their purpose for a specific website can be requested by contacting us as described below in point 7. Where can I go with a communication, request, question or complaint?
If you do not want cookies to be placed, you can refuse the use of cookies via your browser's settings or options. Please note that PNA websites will then remain accessible but that, in exceptional cases, some parts of a website may no longer be able to be used correctly. You must adjust the settings of each browser separately on each computer. If necessary, consult an external website with more information about the browser and version you are using.
The PNA web servers log session information, including: pages visited, duration of the visit, type of equipment and software (device, browser, operating system), search terms and the IP address (the traceability of which can be limited by anonymising the last few digits of each IP address). This logging is for internal processing only and is regularly analysed for points of improvement and further on technical aspects with the aim to remain up-to-date with regard to the browsers and techniques to be supported, and possibly analysed in case of technical problems. In addition, this logging is part of the security measures for the detection and prevention of unwanted activities.
PNA websites and documents may contain links (references) to (parts of) external websites. For example, pna-group.com contains links to Google, the Object Management Group, LinkedIn, BOL, Wikipedia and various partners of PNA. PNA has no influence on the information, cookies, products or services offered via these external websites, nor on the accessibility of these external websites. Therefore, this privacy statement does not apply to those external websites. PNA accepts no liability for the possible processing of your personal data by external websites. The use of such external websites is at your own risk. We therefore advise you always to consult the privacy statement of the external website (if any) before using it. PNA has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure adequate protection for personal data processed through a PNA website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions may have security gaps and absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, anyone is free to provide personal data to us in writing or by telephone by contacting us as described in point 7below . Where can I make a communication, request, question or complaint?
Minors
We value the need for privacy of minors (persons under 16 years of age) and encourage parents, guardians or legal representatives to take an active role in their children's online activities and interests.
The PNA websites do not intend to collect data from minors. If you, as a parent, carer or legal representative, become aware that your minor child has shared personal data with us via a PNA website or in any other way without your written consent and this is undesirable, we request that you contact us as described in point 7below . Where can I go with a communication, request, question or complaint?
If we become aware that a minor child has shared personal data with us via a PNA website or otherwise, without the written consent of a parent, guardian or legal representative, we will delete such personal data.
Applicable law
PNA is located within the Netherlands in the EU and has no branches outside the Netherlands. The processing of personal data by PNA is therefore subject to the official Dutch translation of the European privacy legislation and the further interpretation of specific provisions in relation thereto by Dutch law. In particular it concerns: the General Data Protection Regulation (AVG) and the Implementation Act on the General Data Protection Regulation (UAVG).
