In addition to the sharing described in the chart above, we share your information with third parties for the purposes described below:
You have rights and choices regarding our collection and use of your personal information, as well as the collection and use of some of our third party partners. A few of those choices are set forth below and others are described in our Cookie Policy. At Vinden.nl B.V., we do not collect sufficient data to authenticate any particular user.
If you remove our cookies from your browser cache, we will no longer recognize your browser and activities until a new cookie is placed. Any future site activities you perform after you delete this cookie will not be tied to your previous activities which were associated with the removed cookie.
You can opt-out of third-party interest-based, advertising-related cookies, consent cookie, pixel tags and web beacons, to prevent our advertising partners to deliver targeted interest based ads to you. You can choose to opt-out through these (and other) resources:
You will continue to see ads on our Search-Engines, but they will not be tailored to you based on any past behavior on our Search-Engines or other websites. You may, however, still receive customized content and/or ads based on the search queries you submitted or the content of the pages you are visiting.
In addition, third party tools enable you to search for and opt-out of some of these devices, such as the Ghostery browser plug-in available at https://www.ghostery.com/.
Do Not Track (DNT) is an optional browser setting that allows you to express your preferences regarding tracking by advertisers and other third-parties. However, we do not recognize or respond to browser-initiated DNT signals, as the Internet industry is currently still working toward defining exactly what DNT means, what it means to comply with DNT, and a common approach to responding to DNT.
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or in California, or in certain other states, you have specific rights to know and have access to the personal information that has been collected and stored by the web properties that you visit (and in the EEA, right to correct such information). Your rights can only be exercised if such web properties can adequately verify that you are the same person as the user whose data is being requested. At Vinden.nl B.V., we do not collect sufficient data to authenticate any particular user.
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or in California, or in certain other states, you have specific rights to request us to delete any personal information we have stored about you.

We retain emails for up to three years to respond to discovery requests in the event of litigation or have the ability to defend legal claims.
We retain information you provide to apply for jobs at Vinden.nl B.V. for as long as we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to contact you if we have a job opening that fits your qualification, or to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements) after which our service provider Homerun will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then they will securely store your information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
We take the security of your information seriously and use appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your information against unauthorized or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage. We also limit access to information about you to employees who reasonably need access to it to provide products or services to you, or in order to do their jobs. However, because no security system can be 100% effective, we cannot completely guarantee the security of any information we may have collected from or about you.
