Personal data we process

Trein-vertraging B.V. processes your Personal Data because you use our services and/or because you provide it to us yourself. Below is an overview of the Personal Data we process:

  • First and last name
  • Email address

Special and/or sensitive personal data we process

Our website and/or service does not intend to collect data about website visitors who are younger than 16, unless they have consent from a parent or guardian. However, we cannot verify whether a visitor is older than 16. We therefore advise parents to be involved in their children's online activities, in order to prevent data about children being collected without parental consent. If you are convinced that we have collected personal data about a minor without that consent, please contact us at [email protected] and we will delete this information.

For what purpose and on what basis we process personal data

Trein-vertraging B.V. processes your personal data for the following purposes:

  • To offer you the option of creating an account
  • Handling your claims
  • Sending our newsletter and/or advertising leaflet
  • Being able to call or email you if necessary to carry out our services
  • Improving our service and product
  • To retrieve your travel history from an external carrier.

Automated decision-making

Trein-vertraging B.V. takes responsibility for decisions made on the basis of automated processing about matters that can have (significant) consequences for individuals. These are decisions taken by computer programs or systems, without a human (for example an employee of Trein-vertraging B.V.) being involved. Trein-vertraging B.V. uses the following computer programs or systems:

Google Analytics collects, monitors and analyses information, including Personal Data, to improve the functionality of our Service. A third party such as Google Analytics has its own privacy policy in which it indicates how it handles this information.

How long we keep personal data

Trein-vertraging B.V. does not keep your personal data longer than strictly necessary to achieve the purposes for which your data is collected. We apply the following retention periods for the following (categories of) personal data:

  • Personal data: necessary for your profile (including bank account number) on the Service is kept for as long as you maintain your account.
  • Additional Personal data: (travel history) is kept for the functioning of the claim features until 6 months after the claim has been submitted. After this, the information is anonymised.
  • Log data: a different period applies here, because this log information may be kept via a third party. See our cookie policy for more information.

You can request to close your account by contacting us via the details above, and we will delete your Personal Data on request. Backups of the data are destroyed after 30 days. However, we may keep Personal Data for an additional period as permitted or required under applicable laws, for legal, tax or regulatory reasons, or for legitimate and lawful business purposes. Should there still be claims outstanding via Trein-vertraging after your deletion request, and these claims are not decided within the 30-day period, we will cancel your claims.

Sharing personal data with third parties

Trein-vertraging B.V. shares your personal data with various third parties if this is necessary to perform the agreement and to comply with any legal obligation.

Cookies, or similar techniques, that we use

Trein-vertraging B.V. uses functional, analytical and tracking cookies. A cookie is a small text file that is stored in the browser of your computer, tablet or smartphone on your first visit to this website. Trein-vertraging B.V. uses cookies with a purely technical functionality. These ensure that the website works properly and that, for example, your preference settings are remembered. In addition, we place cookies that track your browsing behaviour so that we can offer tailor-made content and advertisements.

On your first visit to our website, we already informed you about these cookies and asked permission to place them.

Which cookies we place, who they come from, what we use them for and how long we keep them is set out in our cookie policy. You can also change your cookie preferences there at any time.

We also measure use of our website with our own, cookieless counter. It places no cookie and we do not store your IP address: it is turned, together with your browser type, into an encrypted code that changes daily and cannot be traced back to you. This measurement rests on our legitimate interest in knowing how many people visit our pages.

You have the right to view, correct or delete your personal data. In addition, you have the right to withdraw any consent for the data processing or to object to the processing of your personal data by Trein-vertraging B.V., and you have the right to data portability. This means that you can submit a request to us to send the personal data we hold about you in a computer file to you or another organisation named by you.

You can send a request for access, correction, deletion, data transfer of your personal data, or a request to withdraw your consent or object to the processing of your personal data to [email protected].

Trein-vertraging B.V. would also like to point out that you have the option of filing a complaint with the national supervisory authority, the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens).

How we secure personal data

Trein-vertraging B.V. takes the protection of your data seriously and takes appropriate measures to prevent misuse, loss, unauthorised access, unwanted disclosure and unauthorised modification. If you have the impression that your data is not properly secured or there are indications of misuse, please contact our customer service or email [email protected]. Trein-vertraging B.V. has taken the following measures to secure your personal data:

  • Security software, such as a virus scanner and firewall.
  • DNSSEC is an additional security measure (on top of DNS) for converting a domain name (www.trein-vertraging.nl) to the associated IP address (server name); it is provided with a digital signature. You can have this signature checked automatically. In this way we prevent you from being redirected to a fake IP address.

Complaints

If you have a complaint about our processing of your Personal Data, we will be happy to work together to find a solution. If this does not lead to the desired result, you have the right to file a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. In the Netherlands this is the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens).
