Your Data, Privacy & Research Participation
This Privacy Statement applies to personal data collected, used and stored by MyClusters in connection with the use of our services (the "Services") that are being offered to you on our website www.myclusters.nl. This Privacy Statement explains the types of personal data we collect from and about you and how we use, disclose and protect that data as well as your ability to control certain uses of it.
MyClusters is responsible for the data you share with us as a data controller under the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (GDPR). It goes without saying that MyClusters adheres to the rules as set forth therein.
Your personal data is controlled by MyClusters [MyClusters BV, KvK: 94966958, based in Leiden, Netherlands]. Our company details can be found at the end of this document.
In this Privacy Statement, your "personal data" means information or pieces of information that could allow you to be identified. For example, your name, address, telephone number and e-mail address, but also your IP address.
1. Personal data we may collect and/or use directly from you when you visit our website and/or make an enquiry via the contact form on our website found below. The legal basis for this data processing consists in our legitimate interest in processing your email inquiry and providing information requested by you:
2. If you become a user of our Services, we will collect and use the following personal data:
The legal basis for this data processing is that it is necessary for the performance of the agreement between MyClusters and you, which is realised when you accept the Terms of Use.
We only request the personal data that we specifically need to provide the Services in your particular case.
Without this personal data, we are unable to deliver our Services. It is therefore important that you have verified its accuracy.
We will only retain this information for the duration of your use of the Services and for a maximum of 7 years thereafter if we are required to do so by law.
Your personal data will always be processed by a human being. MyClusters will not take any decisions that may affect you personally based on automated processing.
We use Squarespace for our e-mail service and newsletter hosting, and AWS for our data storage. We use fly.io to host our infrastructure and they have servers in the EU. We use Google Analytics, Umami and Squarespace to monitor and analyse your use of the website and the Services.
We will make sure that all our third-party service providers comply with GDPR. These third-party service providers may be located in a country outside the European Economic Area ("EEA").
If the level of data protection in a country does not correspond to the European level, we shall ensure by contract (standard contractual clauses issued by the European Commission) that the protection of your personal data corresponds at all times to that of the European Economic Area, or countries that are 'whitelisted' by the European Commission.
As detailed in this Statement, we are committed to safeguarding your personal data. We will not share your information with any third parties without your explicit consent, unless we are legally compelled to do so.
MyClusters does share data with medical researchers; however, all personal data will be anonymised before it is shared in this regard.
The collection, use and disclosure of personal data is safeguarded by technological and organisational security measures with the objective of protecting the personal data against loss, misuse and unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or destruction. These measures are continually improved in line with technological developments.
In particular, we restrict access to personal information to our employees, retailers and all other parties we work with, who are subject to strict contractual confidentiality obligations and may be disciplined or terminated if they fail to meet these obligations.
We will not retain your personal data for a period longer than necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, unless we have to keep it for legitimate business, tax or legal purposes.
This Statement may change from time to time. If we make material changes to this Statement and the way we use your personal data when you use our Services, we will notify you.
Nevertheless, we encourage you to review this Statement periodically.
