1. Legal Framework for the Processing of Personal Data RentHunter is a company dedicated to developing, producing, and distributing software. The following legal frameworks apply to RentHunter’s business activities:

• The General Data Protection Regulation (referred to as GDPR);
• The Dutch Implementation Act for the General Data Protection Regulation (referred to as UAVG).

2. Description of Personal Data RentHunter may process your personal data because you use RentHunter’s services and/or because you have provided your personal data to RentHunter. RentHunter may process the following personal data: your first and last name, your address details, your company name, your company address, your company registration number (KvK), your date of birth, your gender, your telephone number, your email address, your payment details, your IP address, maximum rent price, any housing preferences, and the condition of the desired property.

3. Purposes of Processing Personal Data Your personal data will only be processed on a lawful basis and for specific, explicit, and legitimate purposes. RentHunter may process your personal data for the following purposes: entering into and performing an agreement with you, facilitating payments, keeping you informed about the progress of the agreement, optimizing RentHunter’s services/business activities, and maintaining the relationship with you (as a customer).

4. Retention Period of Personal Data RentHunter will not retain your personal data for longer than strictly necessary to achieve the purposes for which your personal data were initially collected (see Article 3). Your personal data will not be retained for more than 10 years (based on the period specified by the Tax and Customs Administration for retaining records).

5. Processing Personal Data with Third Parties RentHunter will only provide personal data to third parties when it is necessary for the performance of our agreement with you or to comply with a legal obligation. RentHunter may provide your personal data to a payment processor (Stripe) to facilitate payment for the purchased services or to marketing platforms for the execution of the agreement with you.

6. Marketing Activities As part of its marketing activities, RentHunter keeps general visitor data of its website visitors. In this context, the IP address of your computer and the time of data retrieval, sent by a visitor’s browser, may be recorded. These data can be used for statistical analysis of website visits and click behavior and are anonymized as much as possible.

7. Processing Personal Data of Minors RentHunter processes the personal data of minors (individuals under the age of 16) only if written consent has been provided by a parent, guardian, or legal representative. However, RentHunter cannot verify whether a visitor is 17 years or older. RentHunter therefore advises parents, guardians, or legal representatives to be involved in their children’s online activities to prevent the collection of their children’s personal data without parental consent.

8. Security of Personal Data RentHunter handles your personal data with care and treats it confidentially: your personal data are only processed by individuals with a confidentiality obligation and only for the purpose for which the personal data were collected. RentHunter also ensures appropriate security measures to protect personal data. RentHunter protects the entrusted personal data using technical and administrative security measures to minimize the risk of loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, and alteration of personal data. This includes firewalls, data encryption, and physical and administrative access controls to data and servers. If you believe that data has been misused, you can contact RentHunter (see Article 13 for contact information).

9. Rights of Data Subjects RentHunter respects all your rights as a data subject. The data subject is the natural person to whom the processed or to be processed personal data relates. The GDPR aims to provide the best possible protection to data subjects in the processing of their personal data. To ensure this protection and fair processing of personal data, the GDPR grants the data subject several rights that they can exercise or invoke against the data controller (in this case, RentHunter). The data subject has the right to information about the processing of their personal data, the right to access their personal data, the right to correction, rectification, or completion of any incorrect personal data, the right to erasure of personal data (“the right to be forgotten”), the right to restriction of the processing of their personal data, the right to object to the processing of their personal data, the right to data portability, the right not to be subject to automated decision-making, and the right to object to the processing of personal data. You can request to exercise any of the above-mentioned rights by sending an email to: contact@renthunter.nl. RentHunter will respond to your request as soon as possible, but in any case within 2 weeks.
