Privacy Policy

PJ’s B.V. respects your personal data and ensures that any personal information provided to us, or otherwise obtained by us, is treated confidentially. Personal data includes all information about an identified or identifiable individual. Data that indirectly reveals something about a person is also considered personal data. The following explains how PJ’s B.V. fulfils its information obligations under the GDPR towards the data subjects whose personal data we process.

Data Controller and Communication

PJ’s B.V. processes personal data in order to provide services, improve our service delivery, and communicate with you personally as a data subject. For the evaluation of our services, PJ’s B.V. may engage a third party. Participation is entirely your choice, and you decide whether to provide personal data for this purpose. You may also subscribe to our newsletter or other communication messages from PJ’s B.V.

Purpose of Processing Personal Data

PJ’s B.V. processes the personal data listed below exclusively for the following purposes:

  • processing reservations and payments

  • complying with our legal and statutory obligations

  • marketing and communication activities

  • recruitment and selection

Which Personal Data Is Processed?

PJ’s B.V. processes the following types or categories of personal data for the purpose of service delivery or as provided by the data subject on their own initiative:

First name, surname, nationality, address details, citizen service number (BSN), document numbers (passport, ID card, driver’s licence), email address, telephone number, bank details, credit card details.

These personal data are processed because you have provided them voluntarily, because they were obtained in the context of service delivery, because third parties (including counterparties) have provided them to us, or because they are available through public sources.

Legal Grounds for Processing

PJ’s B.V. processes the above personal data solely on the following legal grounds as referred to in Article 6 of the GDPR:

  • legal obligation

  • performance of a contract

  • consent of the data subject(s)

  • legitimate interest

  • protection of vital interests of data subjects (e.g., CCTV surveillance)

Sharing Personal Data with Third Parties

PJ’s B.V. only shares your personal data with third parties insofar as necessary for service delivery and in accordance with the purposes mentioned above. This may include representation by another professional, conducting an expert investigation, or appointing a third party on behalf of PJ’s B.V., such as an IT provider, as well as providing your personal data in connection with (legal) proceedings or correspondence with counterparties.

PJ’s B.V. may also provide personal data to supervisory authorities or other public institutions, provided there is a legal obligation to do so.

With third parties that process personal data on behalf of PJ’s B.V., a data processing agreement is concluded to ensure compliance with the GDPR. Third parties engaged by PJ’s B.V. that act as their own data controllers—such as accountants, notaries, or experts providing second opinions or reports—are independently responsible for GDPR compliance when processing your personal data.

Security of Personal Data

PJ’s B.V. places great importance on the security and protection of your personal data and implements appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a risk-appropriate security level, considering the state of the art. When PJ’s B.V. uses services provided by third parties, such as IT providers, arrangements on adequate security measures are included in a data processing agreement.

Retention Period of Personal Data

PJ’s B.V. does not retain personal data longer than necessary for the purposes mentioned above or as required by law or regulation.

Privacy Rights of Data Subjects

Requests for access, correction, restriction, objection, data portability, deletion of your personal data, or withdrawal of previously granted consent may be submitted via the contact details below. You will receive a response within four weeks of us receiving your request.

There may be circumstances under which PJ’s B.V. cannot fully comply with your request—for example, due to professional confidentiality or statutory retention obligations.

Requests can be submitted to:

PJ’s B.V., attn. Management – info@pjs-groningen.nl

We will respond within a few working days.

  • right to rectification, supplementation, deletion, or restriction (only factual data)

  • right to object

  • right to data portability

  • right to be forgotten

  • right to restriction of processing

  • right to withdraw previously given consent

To ensure that we provide personal data only to the correct person, we may request a copy of a valid passport, identity card, or driver’s licence with the photograph and citizen service number obscured. PJ’s B.V. only handles requests relating to your own personal data.
