We may also obtain Personal Data from public sources and/or websites. 

3. For which purposes do we process Personal Data?

We process Personal Data for the purpose of our meetings, initiatives and collaborations. This means that we process your Personal Data for the following purposes:

  • Performing services

We process data needed for preparing, executing and finishing our services. Regio Foodvalley organises meetings and events on a regular basis.

We will keep your Personal Data for as long as is necessary for our services.

We process Personal Data to comply with legal obligations such as administrative requirements and/or retention periods.

  • Job applications

If you apply for a position with us we receive your Personal Data. We will keep these data up to four (4) weeks after the selection procedure has ended, unless you have given us your explicit consent to keep the data for a longer period. In such case we will keep the data for a maximum of one (1) year after the selection procedure has ended. In this way you enable us to contact you for any appropriate future vacancies. 

4. On which legal bases do we process Personal Data?

We only process your Personal Data if there is a legal basis, i.e.:

  1. it is necessary for the performance of a contract;
  2. because of a legal obligation;
  3. you gave us your consent;
  4. because of a legitimate interest.

5. Who do we share your Personal Data with?

We may have to share your Personal Data with third parties if this is necessary for the performance of the contract. This may occur in the following situations:

  1. organising our meetings and events and to have them take place;
  2. complying with legal obligations;
  3. engaging external suppliers such as our IT supplier.

If a third party processes your Personal Data as processor of Regio Foodvalley, we enter into a processing agreement with such party in accordance with the requirements of the GDPR. If a third party is an independent data controller, such party is responsible for the processing of the Personal Data concerned and for complying with the GDPR. 

6. For how long do we keep your Personal Data?

Regio Foodvalley complies with the statutory retention periods. In any case, we do not keep your Personal Data longer than necessary for the purposes for which we process these data.
