Version September 2023

1. ABOUT TMC

Triple B.V. and its group companies (hereafter referred to jointly as: “TMC”) is a unique collection of self-starting, highly skilled and almost self-employed technical professionals. We are an international high-tech company, comprised of Employeneurs with more than 30 nationalities who provide services to customers all over the world.

As an employer and partner in the high-tech industry, we are aware of our impact on the lives and careers of our Employeneurs and on the performance of our clients. To do the best we can, we follow, contribute to and invest in topics that matter on industry level as well as organizational and personal level.

In order to do this, we collect personal data. This privacy statement explains which personal data we collect and how it is processed, stored and secured, what your rights are and how to exercise your rights.

2. What is personal data?

As defined in Art. 4(1) GDPR, personal data are any information which are related to an identified or identifiable natural person.

This includes objective and subjective information of a person. Personal data which have undergone pseudonymisation, which could be attributed to a natural person by the use of additional information should also be considered to be information on an identifiable natural person, as described in Recital 26 of the GDPR.

Above all, in accordance with Art. 9 GDPR there are special categories of personal data, known as sensitive personal data. Sensitive personal data are subjected to a higher level of protection. These data include biometric, genetic and health data, as well as personal data revealing ethnic and racial origin, religious or ideological convictions, political opinions and trade union membership.

According to Recital 26 GDPR, the principles of data protection do not apply to anonymous information, namely information which does not relate to an identified or identifiable natural person or to personal data rendered anonymous in such a manner that the data subject is no longer identifiable

3. Why does TMC collect your personal data?

TMC processes personal data for the following purposes:

  • Recruitment and selection of potential Employeneurs and staff
  • Concluding and carrying out agreements (e.g., contracts of employment or agreements with clients and suppliers).
  • Communication objectives (newsletters, cookies on the website, events, etc.)
  • Complying with regulations
  • Improving our services to our employees, customers and visitors of our website
  • Social gestures

Please read the appendix of this privacy statement to find when we process data for these purposes, what data we collect, and how we collect, store, use and dispose your data.

5. What are your rights to your personal data processed by TMC?

TMC respects the rights of data subjects with regard to their personal data. Some rights can be exercised at all times; other rights can be exercised under certain conditions only. For example,we cannot grant the request of a data subject to delete its personal data if there is a legal obligation to retain that personal data for a certain period of time.

Data subjects can exercise the following rights:

  • Right of access to personal data;
  • Right of correction of personal data;
  • Right to deletion of personal data;
  • Right to restrictions on processing of personal data;
  • Right to transfer of own personal data.

The aforementioned rights can only be exercised in respect of the personal data of the data subject and are, in some cases, subject to the basis on which they were collected. Data subjects are not allowed to exercise these rights in respect of the personal data of others. TMC may request data subjects to provide additional identification in this regard.

The aforementioned rights can be exercised by the data subjects on this page.

You may also contact the TMC Privacy Officer using the contact details in the chapter about contact in this privacy statement.

6. How does TMC protect your personal data?

We take technical and organizational measures to protect the privacy of those involved and the confidentiality of their personal data:

Information security

TMC data can be divided into 4 categories: Confidential (HRM confidential, Management), Private limited (Personnel), Private internal (Employeneurs) and Public. Highly sensitive/confidential data is mainly stored in the ERP system or in special confidential channels of Microsoft Teams. Internal information is stored in Microsoft Office 365. It is mainly public data that is stored on the website. Extra care is taken in securing sensitive information, such as personal data and customer data.

Infrastructure and devices

The management, maintenance and monitoring of the technical infrastructure is outsourced to a company that is certified for IT security (e.g., ISO 27001) and that has taken sufficient measures, such as physical access security, firewalls, VPN, continuity facilities and monitoring tools, to ensure infrastructure security. All TMC offices have secured networks with advanced firewalls and VPN with active monitoring to safeguard security and continuity. All managed clients have antivirus/antimalware, up-to-date and supported operating systems and disk encryption that is centrally managed and monitored.

Applications

All TMC applications are stored in a secured public cloud environment or in the TMC Azure/Office 365 tenant. Authentication takes place through the TMC’s central user management, including Multi Factor Authentication for all internal staff. Authorization is carried out via security groups for each function group. User management is an automated process, based on HR administration, and it is checked periodically. All TMC data is securely stored on encrypted disks within the EEA (European Economic Area). Logbook use is activated as much as possible for each application, both detective and reactive.

What you can do to help us:

You can contribute to the protection of your personal data by, for example, being careful when disclosing personal data when you respond to jobs and messages posted on social media by TMC. The information that is posted there may be public.

7. When does TMC share personal data?

When we share data, we comply with legislation and only provide the necessary information.

Sharing within TMC

This applies to employees who are authorized to access this data. All employees are subject to confidentiality.

Sharing with clients

Personal data of candidates and employees is shared with clients, for example, when introducing candidates and employees to existing and potential clients and/or enabling an employment relationship with these clients.

Sharing with processors

If we share personal data with processors (parties who process personal data on behalf of TMC, such as IT infrastructure or software suppliers, but also parties that provide training courses) or other responsible parties, we ensure that there is either a processing agreement or other contractual provisions in place to guarantee secure processing of the personal data. We can carry out checks on this.

Sharing with other responsible parties

If we share personal data with parties that provide services and that are responsible in this context for determining the purpose and means of processing this personal data (e.g., a pension fund or the Tax and Customs Administration), we will check whether there are clear agreements on the careful handling of these data or make such agreements.

Sharing due to a legal obligation

We only provide personal data at the request of the police and judiciary if there is a legal obligation to do so.

Sharing outsite the European Economic Area (EEA)If personal data is transferred to our group companies based in countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA), we will have made agreements with them regarding the processing and security of this personal data.
If we transfer personal data to external parties based outside the EEA where there is no adequate level of protection, we will continue to monitor the processing of personal data in addition to the agreements made.

8. Notification of a (suspected) security breach

In the event of a suspected or confirmed breach of personal data security, data subjects are requested to inform TMC as soon as possible via helpdesk@tmc.nl stating 'security data breach' in the email's subject line.
