Controller

SNL processes personal data as an employer, as a supplier of services, for marketing purposes and in connection with visits to our website. In the capacity as controller, we process personal data for the following main purposes:

Customer and supplier information

SNL processes personal data regarding customers and suppliers as well as any third parties required for the performance of contractual obligations. This personal information may be exchanged between legal entities within SNL but will not be disclosed unless otherwise stated in the relevant service contracts or required by law.

The information being processed is contact information for customers and suppliers, and the personal data will be securely stored.

Marketing

SNL processes personal data for marketing purposes. This personal information may be exchanged between the various legal entities within SNL but will not be disclosed to other businesses.

SNL processes contact information of potential customers. The information is obtained from publicly available sources, such as the websites of companies, or from direct contact with the company in question. The purpose of this processing of personal data is to promote marketing for our services and coordinate this marketing effort.

SNL has a legitimate interest in contacting potential customers to promote our services, and in our opinion this interest is not overridden by the interests of the data subject. Reference is here made to the fact that we only process contact information relating to the data subjects position at his/her employer. Personal data relating to potential customers will be deleted unless a customer relationship is established.

Human resources

SNL processes personal information as part of human resources management.

Personal data relating to vacant positions and applications will be deleted one year after you applied for employment unless you are employed or explicit consent for further storage is given.

Exchange and transfer

We may share your information within SNL as well as with third parties to the extent necessary for the purposes described above and permitted by law.

Data protection

We take data protection seriously and have adopted appropriate security measures to protect your personal data against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, theft, alteration, disclosure or destruction. We will restrict access to your personal data to those who have a legitimate need for such access.

The SNL group complies with legal requirements and avoids unacceptable legal risks.

Retention of personal data

SNL will only retain personal data if this is necessary for the purposes described above. When storage is no longer necessary, we will delete, destruct or anonymise the relevant personal data.

Exercising your rights and contacting us

You have the right to ask us for a copy of any personal data that you have provided to us or that we maintain about you and to request an explanation about the processing. In addition, you have the right to withdraw any consent previously granted or to request correction, amendment, restriction, anonymisation or deletion of your personal data; and to obtain the personal data you provide with your consent or in connection with a contract in a structured, machine readable format and to ask us to transfer this data to another data controller.

You also have the right to object to the processing of your personal data in some circumstances, in particular when we are using your data for direct marketing or to create a marketing profile.

We may decline to process requests that are frivolous/vexatious, jeopardise the privacy of others, are extremely impractical, or for which access is not otherwise required by local law. Access, correction, or deletion requests can be made by sending an email to [email protected] or contact Stolt-Nielsen BV, Privacy Office, Westerlaan 5, 3016 CK, Rotterdam, Netherlands.
