Your personal information

Holla Advocaten treats personal data with the utmost care. We ensure that any personal information you provide is handled confidentially. We do this from time to time, by ascertaining whether the services we provide are in line with requirements in the field of data protection and compliance with legislation on data protection.

Generally, it is possible to visit our websites without providing us with any personal data. However, for statistical purposes, we do – use Google Analytics, amongst other tools, to – process the website via which you found your way onto our website, data about the date and time you visit our website(s), the pages and parts of the website(s) that you visit (how long, how often and in which order), which information you view and which information you upload or download from the website(s).

We collect the above-mentioned data so that we are able to optimally align our website content to the wishes and needs of the users of our website(s). We are able to retain the non-identifiable data collected by us for future use and possibly also transmit them to third parties.

We base the processing of your personal data on various legal grounds. When we collect personal data about you, we use most of it to be able to perform the contract we have entered into with you (Article 6(b) of the GDPR). We also process your personal data because we feel that this is necessary given the legitimate interest we have in notifying you of and keeping you up-to-date on our activities and/or sending you our newsletter (Article 6(f) of the GDPR). Finally, we are required to process your citizen service number and a copy of your ID document, amongst other things, in some situations. For example, when you enter into employment with us.

We will only process special personal data when we need this type of data to comply with our statutory duty, if permitted by or pursuant to law, or if you have given us your explicit consent to do so. We understand ‘special personal data’ to mean data that could be sensitive. For example, data about your race, religion or health.
