Wilkens B.V. and its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively ” Wilkens B.V.” “our,” “we” or “us”) are committed to respecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, store and otherwise process information when you use our websites and other online products and services.

We urge you to read this Privacy Statement so that you understand our commitment to you and your privacy, and how you can participate in that commitment.

We have drawn up this privacy and cookie statement to make it clear to you that we take your privacy very seriously. For this reason, the personal data collected by us is carefully processed and secured. In doing so, we comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Purposes of data processing

In this privacy and cookie statement we explain to you what we at Wilkens B.V. do with information that we learn about you. By using our services or visiting our website, we obtain different types of personal data from you.

 

For each purpose, it is indicated below which data we obtain from you, for what purpose we process this data and how long it is stored. If you have any questions or want to know exactly what we keep of you, please contact us via the details at the bottom of this privacy.

Consent

Wilkens B.V. collects personal information about you in connection with many of our services. When working with or using Wilkens B.V., you may be prompted to make an account which may hold personal information such as your name, mailing address, email address, or credit card information. In addition you may be providing personal information when:

 

  • Communicating with Wilkens B.V. via phone calls, chats, emails, web forms, social media, and other methods of communication,
  • Subscribing to Wilkens B.V.’s marketing material,
  • Downloading information from this website,
  • Applying for a job, or
  • Using services of Wilkens B.V..

 

By providing your personal information to Wilkens B.V.in the ways described in this privacy policy, you agree that you are authorized to provide that information and are accepting this privacy policy and any supplementary privacy statement that may be relevant to you. If you do not agree to our practices, please do not register, subscribe, create an account, or otherwise interact with our services, Wilkens B.V.’s websites, or mobile-device applications.

Contact

We offer various possibilities to contact us. This can be done by telephone, but also via e-mail or the contact form.

 

For this purpose, we process the following personal data:

 

  • First and last name
  • (Business) e-mail address
  • (Business) telephone number
  • Any information that you enter yourself as the content of a message.

 

We use this information to process your request and to contact you properly. We keep this information in order to improve our services for future users. The information can be deleted with a simple request on privacy@wilkens.nl.

Job Applications

Have you responded to one of our vacancies or have you submitted an open application? Then we process your personal data in order to be able to process your application.

 

For this purpose, we process the following personal data:

 

  • First name and surname
  • E-mail address
  • Telephone number
  • Curriculum Vitae
  • Motivation letter
  • Salary indication
  • Credentials

 

Any other information that you send with your application.

 

We use this information to prepare for the possible conclusion of an employment contract.

 

If you do not start working for Wilkens B.V. after the end of the application procedure, we will not store the application data for longer than 4 weeks after the end of the procedure. This way we can still approach you if the previous candidate turns out not to be suitable on closer inspection. If we are unable to offer you a position at this time, we may – with your consent – retain your application data for a maximum of one year after the end of the application procedure. You can withdraw your consent at any time by sending us an email. If you come to work for us, we will keep your application data in the personnel file.

 

Part of the procedure is a social media and internet screening. We may use found information during the application process for further assessment. Carrying out the screening is necessary to ensure that our image is maintained when hiring new staff. We do this on the basis of our legitimate interest. We search for your name on Google and any profile on various social media. This, of course, insofar as these profiles are public; we will not ask you to grant us access to a restricted social media page or to make a connection with us. Of course, the findings will always be discussed with you. We do not reject people only on the results of a screening. If you object to the screening, you can indicate this by e-mail at the time you apply.

 

If we need help from external HR consultants in relation to your application, we may forward your data to them. It is also possible that we forward your application to other Wilkens B.V. affiliated companies, when your application is relevant to them.

Downloading of information

Are you downloading a presentation from this website, then we process your personal data in order to be able to handle the download.

 

For this purpose, we process the following personal data:

 

  • First name and surname
  • E-mail address

 

We use this information to understand our audience better and to improve the information we offer you. Next to this we may, with your consent, use this information for marketing purposes.

Usage of our services

When you use or work with Wilkens B.V. services, you may be prompted to create an account. This account may store personal information such as your name, mailing address, email address, or credit card information. We collect this information to ensure the smooth functioning of our services and to properly invoice you for any charges that may apply. We will keep this information for as long as required by law, or as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.

Anonymisation

We can anonymize personal data that we obtain through the use of the website. This means that the personal data originally obtained by us have been made anonymous in such a way that the data subject is no longer identifiable on the basis of this data. The data is therefore no longer personal data and there are therefore no privacy risks associated with this.

We have a legitimate interest in anonymising data. By means of this anonymized data, we can conduct statistical research and improve our website.

Security

We take appropriate security measures to limit misuse of, and unauthorized access to, your personal data. For example, we ensure that only the necessary persons have access to your data, that access to your personal data is protected and that our security measures are regularly checked. Among other things, we take the following security measures:

 

  • Logical access control on our laptops and systems, using passwords and MFA where possible;
  • physical measures for access security, including access chips and camera security in our office building;
  • encryption of digital files;
  • organisational measures for access security;
  • security of network connections via Transport Layer Security (TLS) technology;
  • purpose-based access restrictions and data storage within the EU.

 

We work digitally as much as possible: old papers go through the shredder and digital documents are secured.

Data retention

Wilkens B.V. retains your information for business purposes, for as long as your account is active, and/or as long as is reasonably necessary to provide you with our products and services. Wilkens B.V. will also retain your information as reasonably necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, improve our services and/or enforce our agreements. We may also retain cached or archived copies of your information for a reasonable period of time. Unfortunately, however, no system or online transmission of data is completely secure. We cannot guarantee the security of information transmitted to our services. To that end, Wilkens B.V. will notify users of a data breach when Wilkens B.V. determines that is reasonably necessary in accordance with applicable law. Any transmission is at your own risk and Wilkens B.V. expects that you will use appropriate security measures to protect your information.

We use extensive security measures to keep all information secure. We also make all attempts to ensure that only necessary people and third parties have access to personal information. Nevertheless, such security measures cannot prevent all loss, misuse or alteration of personal information and we are not responsible for any damages or liabilities relating to any such incidents to the fullest extent permitted by law.
