5 How long do we retain your data?

If your profile remains non-active for a five-year period, we will email you to ask you if you still wish to keep your profile. If we then do not receive word from you within 30 days that you do wish to keep your profile, we will anonymise it. Although we will not delete any replies you have posted on the platform, we will replace your name with the word ‘anonymous’. If you would like for your replies on the platform to be removed, please contact us info@spotschiphol.nl.

7 Processing personal data outside the European Union

Schiphol processes personal data as much as possible within the European Union. Schiphol may engage a processor who delivers IT services whereby data are processed in countries outside the European Union, including the United States of America or India. We do this only in a manner that complies with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation.

8 Which rights do you have?

Access to, amendment and deletion of your personal data

You have the right to know what personal data on you are processed by Schiphol. If we have not obtained the data directly from you, you also have the right to know from what source they derive and to receive a copy thereof.

If your personal data prove to be incorrect, you can ask us to amend your data. You can also request us to delete personal data and to discontinue their use. If we process your personal data on the basis of your consent, and there is no other legal basis for the processing, you have the right to withdraw that consent and we will comply with your request to delete them. In some cases, we may refuse your request.

Restriction of processing and right to transfer your data

If in your opinion we are not processing your data in a correct manner, you can request a restriction of the processing.

You can also ask us to transfer your digital personal data to you or to another party in a readable and usable form.

Lodging an objection

Besides requesting deletion or restriction of the processing, you can also object to the processing of personal data by Schiphol. First, you can do so if you do not agree to Schiphol using your personal data for direct marketing (for instance by profiling).

Second, you can object to the use of your personal data owing to your specific situation. If you lodge an objection, we will in principle temporarily discontinue or restrict the processing. If your objection is accepted, we will definitively discontinue or restrict the processing.

Your request and our response

If you have a question, a request or if you wish to lodge an objection, email our Data Protection Officer (DPO) via dpo@schiphol.nl. We will do our utmost to respond to your request in a timely manner.

We may ask you to send us a copy of a valid ID if this is necessary in order to confirm your identity.
