How long we keep your personal information
People can always unsubscribe from our mailing list.
As a contact for a piece of work, we may contact you where a work matter requires your input. We’ll keep your contact information for at least 5 years. If we learn that you’ve left the role, we’ll update or delete the information we hold about you promptly.
We keep staff data for as long as is required by Dutch law (but no longer than 10 years).
