• The use is required to comply with a legal obligation;   
• In emergencies: the use is needed to protect a vital interest of you or another person;

Sharing of personal data with third parties 

We share your data with third parties only as necessary because third parties are performing work on Qlick’s behalf only and for the purposes described in this Privacy Statement. If a third party is engaged, Qlick will ensure that such a third party maintains the same level of security and confidentiality as ours. ‍ 

Qlick may use the following categories of third parties:  

• organizations for which Qlick provides services  
• IT-management  
• website management  
• website hosting

Qlick remains responsible for the processing of your personal data. Qlick has entered into agreements with third parties to ensure that your personal data is properly secured. 

Qlick may share your personal data with a third party, such as a potential buyer or seller, due to a merger, acquisition, or sale of (part of) its organization. In this case, we will inform you via email and/or a prominent notice on our website and advise you of your rights.

Sharing of personal data outside the European Economic Area 

Sometimes, transferring your personal data to third parties outside the European Economic Area (EEA) may be necessary. Following the GDPR, Qlick will only share your personal data with countries outside the EEA if:  

• The European Commission has decided that the third country ensures adequate protection.  
• Appropriate safeguards are in place, and you have enforceable rights and proper legal remedies.  
• The transfer is necessary for the performance of your contract with Qlick.  
• You have expressly consented to the transfer, having been informed of the risks involved.  
• The transfer is necessary for important reasons of public interest.  
• The transmission is incidental and necessary for the compelling interests of Qlick, has appropriate safeguards in place, and has informed the Data Protection Authority accordingly. 

When Qlick transfers your personal data outside of the EEA, we will ensure that your personal data remains adequately protected. 

‍ 

Security 

At Qlick, we take privacy and security extremely seriously. Good security measures are crucial, especially within the recruitment industry. That is why we try to make it as difficult as possible for malicious people to gain access to our systems. Some of the measures we have in place include:  

• Only persons authorized to do so have access to personal data, with the minimum number of persons possible having access to the personal data;   
• All Qlick employees have signed a duty of confidentiality whereby they undertake to observe complete secrecy about all information (including personal data);   
• Electronic transmission of personal data always takes place via a secure connection;   
• The website is secured via HTTPS;   
• We ensure that your personal data is only shared with third parties where we have agreed on appropriate security measures with those third parties.  

Your rights   

If your personal data is processed, you have several rights, which are set out below. You can exercise these rights by submitting your request in writing and addressing it to Qlick or by emailing info@qlick.nl. Qlick will verify your identity before complying with your request.  

Qlick shall respond to your request as soon as possible but at the latest within one month. Qlick shall only charge you for processing the requests if your requests are excessive.  

1. Inspection of personal data 

You may request us to indicate which (categories of) personal data are being processed by Qlick, for which purposes, from which source the personal data originate, and which retention periods are being used.   

2. Changing your personal data 

You may contact us anytime to complete or correct your personal data. In the unlikely event that Qlick has processed and/or provided third parties with incorrect personal data, Qlick will rectify this immediately. Qlick will inform you of any changes to your personal data.    

3. Limiting the processing of your personal data 

If you disagree with the content of the personal data held by Qlick, you may request the temporary restriction of processing your personal data.    

4. Withdrawal of consent 

You can also withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data. Upon receipt of your request, Qlick will immediately cease processing your personal data for which you had given your consent. The withdrawal of your consent will, however, not affect any processing that has already taken place.   

5. Right to transfer personal data (right to data portability)  

You may retrieve the personal data held by Qlick in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable form. Upon receipt of the personal data, you are free to transfer it.    

6. Right to be forgotten  

If you no longer wish to use the services of Qlick, you can request the deletion of all your personal data.    

7. Right of objection  

You have the right to object to processing your personal data by Qlick based on the ‘legitimate interest of Qlick or a third party’ and ‘fulfillment of a task carried out in the public interest.’ If Qlick relies on these grounds, it will make a balance of interests concerning your privacy. The right of objection allows you to demand that Qlick reconsiders the balancing of interests.    

8. Right to complain or bring legal action 

We are committed to working with you to find a fair solution if you have a complaint or concern about our use of your personal data. However, suppose you feel we have been unable to assist you with your complaint or concern. In that case, you can complain to the Data Protection Authority or initiate legal action.

Storage periods  

Qlick will only retain personal data for as long as necessary for the processing. Qlick will keep your personal data for as long as we consider it essential to provide services, enable you to use the website, comply with applicable law, resolve disputes with parties, and otherwise, as necessary to allow us to conduct our business. Qlick will retain your data for at least the period you have an agreement with Qlick. Even after the agreement has ended, it may be the case that data relating to contact persons is retained. For example, when linked to a contract, invoice, or other official documents.  

We keep the data of (potential) candidates for a period of three years. After this period, we will ask them for permission to store their data for another three years. If a potential candidate no longer wishes to be contacted by us, they can request to remove their data from our systems.  

If you have applied for one of our internal vacancies but have not been invited for an interview, or if we cannot reach a mutually satisfactory solution, we will retain your details for another four weeks. After this period, we will ask for your permission to keep the data for three years. We do this so that we can contact you again later, for example, when new vacancies arise that match your profile. 

Changes and applicable law 

We may amend the privacy statement in the future. For example, the law imposes different requirements because we are expanding our services or because we feel we should word it differently. The latest version is always available on our website. None of the provisions of this privacy declaration is intended to create an obligation or agreement between Qlick and you. The conditions of this privacy statement and any disputes arising from it are governed by Dutch law.
