How do we obtain your personal data?

In most cases you provide your personal data yourself to Life NEW HYTS or Waterstof Utrecht, for example through a form on this website, signing the covenant or registering for a meeting.

With whom do we share your personal data?

Only with your permission and only if it is necessary for the performance of our work, will we share your data with another organization. For example, a co-organizer of a meeting. On the websites of these other organizations you can see through the privacy statement how they process your personal data.

In performing our tasks, we may use the services of third parties. This may be through external workers whom we hire to support us in the performance of our tasks, through external parties to whom we have (partly) outsourced our tasks, or in partnerships in which we perform tasks in cooperation with other parties. If we do this, we make proper arrangements with these third parties about the processing of personal data and also record these arrangements in an agreement.

How long do we keep your personal data?

We do not retain your data for longer than is necessary for the proper performance of our duties and compliance with legal obligations. How long certain data is kept depends on the nature of the data and the purpose for which it was processed.

Your personal data will be deleted upon completion of processing. For most types of personal data, we must comply with the Archives Act. A further elaboration of the retention periods can be found on the website of the National Archives: Selection list for archive documents of provincial bodies as of January 1, 2020 National Archives.

How do we protect your personal data?

Hydrogen Utrecht is part of the province of Utrecht. Within the province of Utrecht we use systems and standards to protect your personal data. We regularly adapt these systems and standards to comply with new regulations and developments in the market.

In addition to technical security measures such as encryption of personal data and access controls on computer systems, employees have a duty of confidentiality and access to personal data is only given to employees and contractors authorized to do so. In determining the measures, the current state of technology is always considered and security is adjusted accordingly.

In addition, the province of Utrecht has its own privacy policy. This contains details of how the province of Utrecht implements the provisions of the AVG.
