Privacy Statement

Personal data is processed via this website. PERMITS FOUNDATION (hereafter called the
Foundation) considers good handling of personal data of great importance. Personal data is
therefore carefully processed and secured by us.

In our processing we comply with the requirements set by the new General Data Protection
Regulation (GDPR).

This means that via this privacy statement we:

– clearly state the purposes for which we process personal data;
– restrict our collection of personal data to only the personal data necessary for those
purposes;
– We will first ask for permission to process your personal data in cases where your
permission is required;
– Take appropriate security measures to protect your personal data and also require this
from third parties that process personal data on our behalf;
– respect your right to provide, correct or delete your personal data on your request.

The Foundation is responsible for data processing. In this privacy statement we explain
which personal data we collect and use and for what purposes. This privacy statement was
updated on 20-05-2018 to comply with the new GDPR.
