2. What data do we collect and how do we do it?
According to Article 4 of the GDPR, "personal data" means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.
When processing your personal data, Boozt24 adheres to the following principles for the processing of personal data:
- Your personal data is only processed to the extent necessary to achieve the corresponding clearly defined and legitimate purposes, taking into account the protection of your privacy;
- Your personal data is processed accurately, fairly, and lawfully, and only processed for purposes consistent with the purposes that were specified before your personal data was collected;
- Boozt24 processes your personal data strictly in accordance with the clear and transparent requirements for the processing of personal data as specified by law;
- Your personal data is processed in a form that no longer allows your identity to be determined for the purposes for which the personal data is processed;
- When processing your personal data, appropriate technical and organizational measures are taken to ensure the protection of personal data, including protection against unlawful data processing and against accidental loss, destruction, and damage.
Your data can be collected in various ways:
- By using or viewing our website through your browser's cookies.
- By registering on our website.
- During and after submitting a quotation request.
- By filling out forms.
- By submitting general questions.
2.1 Personal data processed by submitting a quote request
Wanneer je besluit om financiering aan te vragen, op basis van artikel 6 (1) (b) van de AVG, kan en mag Boozt24 (afhankelijk van het rechtsgebied) in het kader van de dienstverlening je vragen om jouw persoonlijke gegevens te verstrekken: bedrijfsnaam, jouw volledige naam, geboortedatum, woonadres, kopie identiteitsbewijs, paspoort, rijbewijs, foto, video, bedrijfsnaam, telefoonnummer, e-mailadres, aangevraagd financieringsbedrag en mogelijk andere soorten gegevens (zoals de uiteindelijke begunstigde).
The aforementioned personal data is collected to contact you and make preparations to conclude the agreement.
Furthermore, in relation to Article 6(1)(c), the collected data may be retained for legal obligations and risk assessment, such as compliance with anti-money laundering and fraud-related legislation and Know Your Customer processes.
The collected data may be provided to other parties to the extent necessary for the execution of agreements between those third parties and Boozt24.
Additionally, the financier and its successors will not only process personal data provided by the seller for those purposes but also collect and process personal data from third-party sources, including potentially credit information agencies, financial crime, and terrorism databases, and any other public records.
To determine the retention period for the personal data specified during your reservation, Boozt24 applies criteria in accordance with the obligations specified in the legislation and also takes into account your rights. For example, Boozt24 sets a retention period for personal data in which requirements related to the execution of the agreement can be met for specific cases. For example, the retention period for Anti Money Laundering-related data is 5 years, which is the same as the statute of limitations for criminal activities.
