Special and / or sensitive personal data that we process

Our website and service does not intend to collect data about website visitors under the age of 16, unless they have permission from parents or guardian. However, we cannot check whether a visitor is older than 16. We therefore advise parents to be involved in the online activities of their children, to prevent data about children being collected without parental consent. If you are convinced that we have collected personal data about a minor without permission, please contact us via contact@ucann.nl and we will remove this data.

For what purpose and on what basis we process personal data

UCANN processes your personal data for the following purposes:

  • Being able to offer you the possibility to create an account
  • Being able to e-mail or call you if this is necessary to be able to provide our services

By creating an account on our website, you give consent to the processing of your personal data for these purposes.

Automated decision making

UCANN does not make decisions based on automated processing on issues that may have (significant) consequences for individuals. These are decisions that are made by computer programs or systems, without involving a person (for example, an UCANN board member).

How long we store personal data

UCANN does not store your personal data for longer than is strictly necessary to achieve the purposes for which your data are collected. This implies that your personal data is retained as long as you are a member of UCANN. In the case that you cancel your membership, your personal data will be retained until three months after we have received your notification regarding the cancellation of your membership. In the case that you do not pay your membership fees and your account on our website is inactive, your personal data will be retained until twelve months after the initial due date of your membership fees.

Sharing personal data with third parties

UCANN provides data to third parties if and only if this is necessary for the implementation of our agreement with you or to comply with a legal obligation.
