You can contact us at any time to update your preferences or to object to the processing of your data for marketing purposes.

Citizen Service Number (BSN)
According to the GDPR, the BSN is not special personal data. However, there must be a legal basis for processing BSN. For Reconi, this is the case in relation to eHerkenning for sole proprietorships or European use (eIDAS), where the BSN is the unique identifying feature. In all other situations, we advise you to shield the BSN when submitting a copy of your ID, in addition to your passport photo and nationality.

Special and/or sensitive personal data we process
Reconi does not record special personal data related to someone's race or ethnic origin, political opinions, religion or belief, trade union membership, genetic or biometric data for unique identification, health, sexual life or criminal history, except if this absolutely necessary and unavoidable. This is only available in very specific situations, for example if you are applying for eHerkenning for a religious denomination or a political party.

How long we keep personal data
Reconi will not retain your personal data for longer than is strictly necessary to achieve the purposes for which your data is collected. We use the following retention period for all (categories) of personal data: 7 years after termination of the agreement. There are exceptions to this for 1) received copy of proof of identity: maximum 30 days, and 2) audiovisual data for identification: maximum 14 days.

Transfer of personal data
Transfer to countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA) is limited as much as possible. If personal data is processed outside the EEA, Reconi takes the necessary measures and follows the advice of the Personal Data Authority, among others. For the transfer of personal data to the United States, a check is made to see whether the organization participates in the Data Privacy Framework. Reconi closely monitors developments surrounding the adequacy decisions and adjusts its measures accordingly.

Sharing personal data with third parties
Reconi does not sell your data to third parties. We provide personal data to third parties only if necessary for the execution of our agreement with you or to comply with a legal obligation. With companies that process your data on our behalf, we conclude a processing agreement to ensure the same level of security and confidentiality of your data. We share only those personal data necessary to carry out the assignment we give to these companies. Reconi remains responsible for this processing.

Mobile phone
No mobile information will be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes. All of the above categories exclude text message maker sign-in information and consent; this information is not shared with third parties.

You also have the right to withdraw your consent to the data processing or to object to the processing of your personal data by Reconi and you have the right to data portability. You can send a request for access, correction, deletion, data transfer of your personal data or request for withdrawal of your consent or objection to the processing of your personal data to helpdesk@reconi.nl. We will respond to your request as quickly as possible, but within four weeks. Depending on your request, a fee may be charged. We would also like to point out that you have the option of submitting a complaint to the national supervisory authority, the Dutch Data Protection Authority.
