Bijzondere en/of gevoelige persoonsgegevens die wij online verwerken

Ocean’s 500 heeft niet de intentie om bijzondere persoonsgegevens te verzamelen over websitebezoekers. In het bijzonder niet over bezoekers die jonger zijn dan 16 jaar, tenzij ze toestemming hebben van ouders of voogd. Echter kan niet gecontroleerd worden of een bezoeker ouder dan 16 jaar is. Ouders worden aangeraden betrokken te zijn bij de online activiteiten van hun kinderen, om zo te voorkomen dat er gegevens over kinderen verzameld worden zonder ouderlijke toestemming. Als u er van overtuigd bent dat zonder toestemming persoonlijke gegevens zijn verzameld over een minderjarige op de website www.oceans500.com, neem dan contact op via info@oceans500.com dan wordt deze informatie verwijderd.

Special and / or sensitive personal data that we process online

Ocean’s 500 does not intend to collect special personal data about website visitors. In particular, not about visitors under the age of 16 unless they have parental or guardian consent. However, it cannot be checked whether a visitor is older than 16 years. Parents are advised to be involved in their children’s online activities to avoid collecting information about children without parental consent. If you are convinced that personal information has been collected about a minor on the website www.oceans500.com without permission, please contact us at info@oceans500.com and this information will be deleted.

How does Ocean’s 500 handle your personal data?
Carefully, safely and confidentially. That is how we handle your personal data. Ocean’s 500 has drawn up a policy document covering this.

Supervision of the processing of your personal data
The rules governing the protection of your personal data are set out in the General Data Protection Regulation. The Personal Data Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens – AP) ensures that the regulations are adhered to.

If you believe that the provisions of this Privacy Statement are not being (properly) adhered to by us you are entitled to submit a complaint to the AP. The contact details of the AP are:

Safe
In order to protect your privacy and the confidentiality of your data Ocean’s 500 takes appropriate technical and organisational measures. We take security measures in order to prevent misuse of and unauthorised access to personal data, such as: control over access, firewalls and secure servers, and encryption of certain types of data, such as financial information and other sensitive information.

Besides protecting the system we do not want everyone within Ocean’s 500 to have access to your data. Our systems are designed in such a way that employees only have access to information for which they are authorised. 

Reporting of incidents
Should it unexpectedly emerge that something has gone wrong with the protection of your personal data, or if we should suspect that this is the case, then we will report this to the AP. If the breach of security concerning your personal data could have adverse consequences for you we will inform you about it as soon as possible.

Confidential
We always assume that your information is of a confidential nature. Every Ocean’s 500 employee is therefore bound by a duty of secrecy. This also applies to third parties hired in by Ocean’s 500 or in some other way engaged to carry out work. People charged with performing technical work on our systems are also bound by a duty of secrecy. Put briefly, everyone who has access to your data is bound by a duty of secrecy.

How long do we retain your data?
Ocean’s 500 does not retain your data any longer than is necessary for the purposes for which your data is processed, and is permitted by law. The length of time that particular data is retained depends on the nature of

the data and the purpose for which it is processed. The retention period can therefore vary, depending on the purpose.
