Helping with Hands Foundation

This document describes the policy that the Helping with Hands Foundation, having its registered office in Nijmegen, the Netherlands applies with regard to the collection, processing, use, storage and protection of personal data (hereinafter referred to as the 'Privacy Statement').

 

Helping with Hands is a non-profit foundation which is aimed to be a public benefit institution (PBI). This foundation has been set up by the shareholders of Barenbrug Holding BV. With this foundation, employees are encouraged to contribute to society in the form of volunteer work. The objectives of the Foundation are the support of charitable projects, including but not limited to charitable projects in the field of environment, education and sports. This is in accordance with Barenbrug's views on sustainable business and corporate social responsibility.

 

This privacy statement applies to all activities and services of the Helping with Hands Foundation as well as to the website www.helpingwithhands.org (and use thereof).

What personal data do we process?

Personal data refers to all information by which a natural person is identifiable or can be identified. A person is identifiable if that person's identity can reasonably be determined, directly or indirectly, without disproportionate effort. Directly identifying details include, for example, name, address and date of birth. Data that does not lead directly to an individual, but does do so with the help of other data, also comes under the definition of personal data. This might include an IP address, for example.

 

Business contacts

We process the personal data of people from companies, institutes and/or people for which we execute projects. The personal information about you that we might process includes:

  • basic information such as your job title or your first name, last name and initials;
  • contact details such as postal/residential address, telephone numbers or e-mail address;
  • financial information, such as your bank account number;
  • technical data, such as your IP address, the device on which you visit our website and the pages you view.

 

Contact form

If you fill in a contact form or want to make an appointment with us, we ask you to provide (as required fields) your first name, last name and your e-mail address. Depending on how you would like us to contact you, you will also have the opportunity to provide additional contact details (telephone number, address and postcode).
