This privacy policy describes which data we collect about you, how these data are used, and with whom and under what conditions these data may be shared with third parties.

Website Visit Data
On our website, we use Google Analytics to analyze its performance and measure the effectiveness of traffic sources. Google may share this information with third parties if Google is legally required to do so or if these third parties process the information on behalf of Google. We have no control over this. We have not authorized Google to use the obtained Analytics information for other Google services. The information collected by Google is anonymized as much as possible. Your IP address is explicitly not shared.
Cookies
We use several cookies on this website. A cookie is a small file that is sent with pages from this website and stored by your browser. The information stored in a cookie can be sent back to our servers during your next visit.
Google Analytics and Google reCaptcha
Our website places a cookie from Google as part of the "Analytics" service. We use this service to gather information on how visitors use our website. Google may share this information with third parties if legally required or if these third parties process the information on behalf of Google. We have no control over this.
We have not authorized Google to use the obtained information for other Google services. The information collected by Google is anonymized as much as possible. Your IP address is not shared, and you are not profiled or tracked. The information is stored on Google's servers.
Social Media Sharing Features
Our website may display buttons and widgets from social networks like Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram. These do NOT use cookies and do not track you. This allows you to easily share and view information about us on social media.
Marketing and Advertising
Our website does not place cookies for marketing or advertising purposes.
Enabling and Disabling Cookies
We only use functional cookies and limited analytical cookies. According to GDPR guidelines, we are not required to implement a cookie wall or offer you the choice to accept or reject these cookies. This also spares you the need to dismiss an annoying notification. If you still wish to have complete control over cookies, you can disable them entirely in your browser or use an ad blocker. However, please note that many websites may no longer function optimally.
Social Media Links
Our website may include buttons that redirect you to our social media pages. These buttons do not use cookies and do not track or profile you during your visit to our website. On the social media platforms themselves, we have no control over cookies or the platform's behavior.
Email and Mailing Lists
MailChimp
We send our email newsletters via MailChimp. MailChimp will never use your name and email address for its own purposes. At the bottom of every email sent via our website, you will find an 'unsubscribe' link. Clicking this link will stop you from receiving our newsletters. Your personal data are securely stored by MailChimp. MailChimp uses cookies and other internet technologies to track whether emails are opened and read. MailChimp reserves the right to use your data to further improve their services and share information with third parties for that purpose.
Microsoft 365
For our regular business email traffic, we use the services of Microsoft 365. This provider has implemented appropriate technical and organizational measures to prevent the misuse, loss, and corruption of your and our data. Microsoft 365 does not have access to our mailbox, and we treat all our email correspondence confidentially.
Purpose of Data Processing
We only use your data to facilitate our services. This means the purpose of processing is always directly related to the task you provide. We do not use your data for (targeted) marketing. If you share data with us and we use it for purposes other than contacting you at your request, we will explicitly ask for your permission. Your data will not be shared with third parties, except to comply with accounting and other administrative obligations. These third parties are all bound by confidentiality through agreements with us, an oath, or legal obligations.
Automatically Collected Data
Data automatically collected by our website is processed with the aim of improving our services. This data (for example, your IP address, web browser, and operating system) is not considered personal data.
Cooperation with Fiscal and Criminal Investigations
In certain cases, Zodiac Nederland may be legally obligated to share your data in connection with fiscal or criminal investigations conducted by government authorities. In such cases, we are required to share your data, but we will oppose this to the extent permitted by law.
Retention Periods
We retain your data for as long as you remain a client of ours. This means that we will keep your client profile until you indicate that you no longer wish to use our services. If you notify us of this, we will consider it a request for data erasure. Based on applicable administrative obligations, we are required to retain invoices containing your (personal) data for the duration of the relevant retention period. However, employees will no longer have access to your client profile or documents created in response to your assignments.
Your Rights
Under the applicable Dutch and European legislation, you as a data subject have certain rights concerning the personal data that is processed by or on behalf of us. Below, we explain what these rights are and how you can exercise them. As a general rule, to prevent misuse, we only send copies and summaries of your data to the email address already known to us. If you wish to receive the data at a different email address or, for instance, by post, we will ask you to provide identification. We keep a record of handled requests; in the case of a request to forget your data, we will anonymize the relevant information. All copies and summaries of data are provided in a machine-readable format as used within our systems. You always have the right to file a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens) if you suspect that we are misusing your personal data.
Right of Access
You always have the right to access the data we process or have processed that relates to your person or can be traced back to you. You can submit a request to our privacy contact person for this purpose. You will receive a response to your request within 30 days. If your request is granted, we will send a copy of all data, along with a list of processors who have access to this data, to your email address, including the categories under which we have stored this data.
Right to Rectification
You always have the right to have the data we process or have processed that relates to your person or can be traced back to you corrected. You can submit a request to our privacy contact person for this purpose. You will receive a response to your request within 30 days. If your request is granted, we will send a confirmation to your email address that the data has been corrected.
Right to Restriction of Processing
You always have the right to restrict the data we process or have processed that relates to your person or can be traced back to you. You can submit a request to our privacy contact person for this purpose. You will receive a response to your request within 30 days. If your request is granted, we will send a confirmation to your email address stating that the data will no longer be processed until you lift the restriction.
Right to Data Portability
You always have the right to have the data we process or have processed that relates to your person or can be traced back to you transferred to another party. You can submit a request to our privacy contact person for this purpose. You will receive a response to your request within 30 days. If your request is granted, we will send summaries or copies of all data about you that we have processed or have been processed by other processors or third parties on our behalf to your email address. In all likelihood, we will no longer be able to continue our services in such a case, as the secure linking of data files can then no longer be guaranteed.
Right to Object and Other Rights
In certain cases, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data by or on behalf of Zodiac Nederland. If you object, we will immediately cease data processing pending the resolution of your objection. If your objection is justified, we will provide you with copies and/or summaries of the data we process or have processed and then permanently cease processing. Additionally, you have the right not to be subjected to automated individual decision-making or profiling. We do not process your data in a way that makes this right applicable. If you believe this is the case, please contact our privacy contact person.
Changes to Privacy and Cookie Policy
We reserve the right to modify our privacy and cookie policy at any time. Any changes will be published on this page.
