Privacy- and Cookie Statement Settle Down Support

GDPR: General Data Protection Regulations

On May 25th 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter: “GDPR”) came into effect. Since that date, all personal data of EU citizens has the same level of protection in every EU country. Settle Down Support acknowledges the importance of the GDPR and will make sure to comply with all the rules and obligations necessary.

Settle Down Support is allowed to process personal data, based on consent, the execution of an agreement, any applicable law or the legitimate interest of Settle Down Support. We may only process your personal data for a specified purpose. Each purpose will be described in this privacy statement with an overview on what type of personal date is processed and on what ground we are allowed to process your personal data.

Definitions: processing, personal data and special categories

Processing is anything that can be done with personal data, such as save, view, display, collect, copy, modification, deleting, etc.

Personal data is anything that identifies or leads to identifying an individual person. Data like name, address, phone number and e-mail address are obviously personal data, but a precise description of someone’s looks or locations someone passes on a daily basis could also be considered personal data. Only anonymized data is permitted to process without regard to the GDPR. Pseudonymized data however, can still be traced down to an individual and therefor the GDPR still applies on pseudonymized data.

There is a special category of (sensitive) personal data: the “special categories personal data”. This is data that holds information such as ethnic origin, political or religious views, sexual orientation, medical information and biometric data.

Settle Down Support does NOT process any “special category” personal data.

Defining data subjects, data controller and data processor

Data subjects are the individuals whose personal data is processed. Data subjects have specific rights and are always in charge of their own personal data.

The data controller is the party that decides the necessity of the processing, the purpose and the grounds that the processing is based on.

A data processor is a (third) party that processes the personal data on behalf of the data controller. The data controller is still responsible and has to make sure a data processing agreement is in place between him and the processor. The processor needs to abide by the instructions of the controller at all times and is obliged to cooperate with any request of data subjects.

When it comes to your personal data, Settle Down Support will be considered to be the data controller. Our contact information is:
