Your privacy is of great importance to postcode-api.nl. We therefore comply with the relevant privacy laws and regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter: GDPR). This means that we:

• Clearly document our purposes before processing your personal data, via this privacy statement
• Store as few personal data as possible and only the data necessary for our purposes
• Explicitly request consent for processing your personal data, if consent is required
• Take necessary security measures to protect your personal data. We also impose these obligations on parties that process personal data for us
• Respect your rights, such as the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data processed by us

Your data is safe with us and we will always use this data properly. In this privacy statement, we explain what we do with information we learn about you at the postcode-api.nl service.

If you have any questions or want to know what exactly we keep about you, please contact postcode-api.nl.

Portal Access

With our portal, you get access to a management environment where you can set, enter, and modify things yourself for the service. We keep track of what you have done and when, so there is evidence of it. For this we use your:

• Email address
• IP address

We do this based on your consent. We retain this information for up to six months after the end of service provision to you.

Concluding a Subscription

You can conclude a paid subscription at our postcode-api.nl service, whereby we use your personal data to process the payment. For this we use your:

• Name and address data
• Email address
• Payment data
• IP address

We are legally required to do this. We retain this information for up to six months after you have cancelled your subscription. We retain certain customer data longer due to legal tax retention requirements.

Advertising

We would like to send you advertising about offers and new products or services. We do this:

• By email

You can object to this advertising at any time. Each email contains an unsubscribe link. You can also indicate this via the portal.

Location Data

Sometimes it is necessary for our postcode-api.nl service to determine where you are located. We will then ask separately if we may know this, and only if you give consent will we receive this information.

For this service we use the navigation and location software on your phone, tablet, or computer. We have no control over what the makers of this software (such as Google or Apple) do with it. Therefore, always read their privacy statements as well.

Disclosure to Other Companies or Institutions

With the exception of the parties necessary to provide the aforementioned services, we will not disclose your personal data to any other companies or institutions under any circumstances, unless we are legally required to do so (for example, if the police demand it in case of suspicion of a crime).

Statistics

We keep statistics on the use of our service, but this data is always anonymized.

Cookies

Our service uses cookies. Cookies are small files where we can store information so you don't have to enter it repeatedly. But we can also see with them that you visit us again.

You can disable the placement of cookies via your browser, but some things of our service will not work properly then.

With other companies that place cookies, we have made agreements about the use of cookies. However, we do not have complete control over what they do with the cookies themselves. Therefore, also read their privacy statements.

Security

Security of personal data is of great importance to us. To protect your privacy, we take the following measures:

• Access to personal data is protected with a username and password
• Access to personal data is protected with a username and a login token
• We use secure connections (Secure Sockets Layer or SSL) to protect all information between you and our website when you enter personal data
• We keep logs of all personal data requests

Changes to This Privacy Statement

When our service changes, we must of course also adjust the privacy statement. Always pay attention to the date above and check regularly for new versions. We will do our best to inform you of any changes.

If you have any questions or want to know what personal data we have about you, you can always contact us. See the contact details below.

• Receive an explanation of what personal data we have and what we do with it
• Access to the exact personal data we have
• Have errors corrected
• Have outdated personal data deleted

Filing a Complaint

If you wish to file a complaint about the use of your personal data, you can send an email to info@postcode-api.nl. We will handle every complaint internally and communicate this further with you.
