General
VDL Groep welcomes you to this website and appreciates your interest in our company, products and services. VDL Groep places great importance on your privacy. We therefore consider it important to inform you how we handle your personal data. This privacy policy applies to all personal data left by visitors to the websites of VDL Groep B.V. or its subsidiaries. For transparency, this privacy policy explains how we use this data.
The personal data processed by VDL through the website often includes your contact details, such as your name and email address. It may also include a search query you enter or a question you ask using the form. In addition, you can search for vacancies through the ‘Vacancies, Working at VDL, Internships & training and Contact’ functions. These search queries may also be stored and linked to, for example, your IP address. This also applies to information that a website visitor uploads or enters on the website. Naturally, we also process uploaded CVs and covering letters.
In addition, information about you as a visitor to this website may be stored automatically, such as your IP address and click behaviour. We often collect this information directly during your visit using cookies. You can find more information in the cookie statement.
We would like to point out that, even when you visit the website as a business customer, we consider this data to be (indirect) personal data and therefore safeguard your privacy.
Data you provide to VDL Groep via the website is processed by us for general business purposes, such as providing information about specific products and services. We may then use the stored personal data to contact you.
Your data may also be used to send digital newsletters, provided that you have given your explicit consent. We consider this form of contact to be VDL’s legitimate interest.
In addition, the website serves as an application channel, and vacancies are also displayed on the website. These processing activities are also considered to be VDL’s legitimate interest and necessary for entering into, or preparing, an employment contract.
The processing activities include, in any event, sending personal data within VDL Groep. This website serves as a central point, and personal data is forwarded to the relevant entity that you, as a business customer or applicant, wish to contact. Personal data is only shared when there is a necessary reason to do so, and only with recipients for whom the personal data is relevant. Your data may be shared with VDL entities abroad.
If VDL believes that you are using the website unlawfully, this may be a reason to pass your personal data to a legal or other third-party recipient.
Our website contains buttons in various places that provide access to social media channels. If you use these social media buttons, the privacy statement of the relevant social media platform applies. The platform may then store your personal data. VDL has no influence over, and accepts no responsibility for, the use of social media buttons on the VDL website.
VDL Groep does not retain your data for longer than strictly necessary. For the purposes described above, a retention period of six months is reasonable. VDL may also retain anonymised data for statistical and research purposes. For personal data we receive as part of, or leading up to, a job application, VDL will retain this information for no longer than four weeks after the relevant procedure has closed. If VDL has requested and obtained your consent, it may retain these application details for a maximum of two years.
Because we process your personal data, you have the right to:
If you wish to use one or more of these options, please contact: AVG@vdl.nl. For all requests and your rights, VDL will balance the interests involved and honour your request wherever possible. If you wish to withdraw your consent for any reason, we are required to comply.
All personal data you provide on this website is provided voluntarily. However, it goes without saying that we cannot contact you, provide information or conduct a recruitment process without the correct personal data.
If you have any questions or comments about our processing of your personal data, please contact us at AVG@vdl.nl. We will do our utmost to assist you. If you wish to respond to this privacy policy, or believe that VDL Groep is not acting in accordance with it, please contact VDL Groep at AVG@vdl.nl. If we are unable to resolve the matter, you can always report it to the Dutch Data Protection Authority.
