2. Personal Data
De Grote Geere processes various types of personal data for different purposes. Below, it is explained which personal data and purposes these are.
Booking and stay details
By booking an overnight stay in one of our accommodations, you enter into an agreement with De Grote Geere. For this, we need your name, address, city, telephone number, email address, date of birth, day of departure and arrival, and your payment details. We may receive this information from third parties through whom you completed the booking process. We may also request additional information for the execution of our services, such as your nationality or preferences. We only process health data based on your consent, to serve you better, for example by providing access for people with disabilities. 
Website analysis
De Grote Geere analyzes visits to its own website to improve the functionality of this website. 'Analytics' cookies from the American company Google may be placed via our website. The data is stored by Google in the United States. Click behavior on the website is completely anonymized. For more information about this, see the privacy policy of Google, as well as the privacy policy of Google Analytics. If you make a reservation via the website, your booking data will be stored in the statistics of De Grote Geere. This data is used to determine future offerings. If you have indicated that you wish to receive the newsletter, your booking data may be used to personalize the content of the newsletter.

3. Recipients
We do not share your personal data with companies, organizations, and individuals outside De Grote Geere, except in one of the following circumstances.
Execution of an agreement
Provision of your personal data to third-party organizations is permissible when it is necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations to you. This includes processing your reservation. If necessary for the payment of bookings, we use a third party for payment processing.
With your consent
With your consent, we may pass your personal data to other parties. Consent only applies if it is clear what you are consenting to and what the consequences are.
For external processing
We provide personal data to our partners so that they can process data for us, based on our instructions and in accordance with our privacy policy and other appropriate confidentiality and security measures. Our partners include, among others, our IT suppliers, administrators of the Recranet system, and our accountant.
For legal reasons
We share personal data if we believe that disclosure of the data is necessary to comply with applicable laws and regulations, legal proceedings, or requests from government agencies. 
Legal obligation
If a legal obligation requires us to do so, we will provide your personal data. For example, the police may request data from us in the context of a fraud investigation. Another example is that the tax inspector, on the basis of Article 47 of the General Tax Act, can demand all data necessary to levy taxes. Finally, the municipality may also request data to verify the tourist tax assessment. De Grote Geere makes agreements with the recipients to ensure that personal data is treated confidentially.

4. Retention period
We do not retain your personal data longer than necessary, unless we are legally required to retain your personal data for a longer period. Our basic principle is that we only retain personal data as long as necessary to provide you with our products and/or services.

5. Your rights
You have a number of legal rights with respect to us: access, rectification or supplementation, data erasure, restriction of processing, transfer of digital data, and the right to object. We explain these rights below.
Right of access
At your request, we will inform you in writing whether we process personal data about you. You must identify yourself with your request by providing a copy of (the minimally required data from) your identity document. In our response, we will explain which personal data we have processed about you and provide you with a copy. We will also explain for what purposes your personal data is being processed and how long it is expected to be stored.
Rectification or supplementation
If you have received access to the processing of your personal data, you may request that we correct inaccuracies or supplement incomplete data. If we proceed with correction, you will receive an additional statement from us.
Data erasure
You may request that we erase your personal data from our systems in one or more of the following cases:
- The personal data is no longer needed for the purposes for which we processed it
- You withdraw your consent for processing and there is no other basis for processing
- You make a reasoned objection and there are no compelling reasons not to honor your objection
- The personal data has been processed unlawfully by us
- We are required to erase your personal data by legal obligation.
Restriction of processing
If you have reported an inaccuracy or incompleteness in your personal data to us, you may request that we restrict processing while we handle your request. You may also request restriction of the processing of your data if you believe we are processing your data unlawfully or no longer need it, or if you have objected to (further) processing. After receiving your restriction request, we will only process the data after obtaining consent or for compelling reasons.
Transfer of digital data
If you have provided personal data to us in a structured, commonly used digital file format and we have processed your data with your consent or in the performance of an agreement with you, you have the right to request a copy of this data from us. In those cases, you may also request that we send your data directly to another service provider.
Objection
You may object at any time to the processing of personal data relating to you. This applies in particular to profiles we have created based on your personal data. We will stop processing your data after receiving your objection, unless we can provide compelling legitimate reasons that outweigh your interests, rights, and freedoms.
Exercising rights
If you wish to exercise one or more of your aforementioned rights, you can contact us via info@degrotegeere.nl. De Grote Geere will provide the requested data to the data subject as soon as possible. In any case, you will receive the information within one month of receiving the request. If more time is needed to process the request, De Grote Geere will inform you within a month.
