If the Contractor terminates the contract (early), the Client will be entitled to the Contractor’s co-operation in the transfer of Work to third parties, unless in the event of intent or deliberate recklessness on the part of the Client, as a result of which the Contractor is obliged to proceed to terminate the contract. The right to cooperation as determined in this paragraph is subject to the condition of the Client having paid all underlying and outstanding advances or all invoices.

Article 14. RIGHT OF SUSPENSION

Article 9. Audits

9.1              Following a reasonable request and at the expense of the Controller, In3 will render its assistance to any inspection or investigation reasonably necessary to demonstrate that In3 complies with the obligations laid down in this Processor’s Agreement, subject to the condition that this will never require or oblige In3 to grant access or allow access to information regarding (i) internal price information of the supplier; (ii) information regarding other customers of the Processor; (iii) any non-public external reports of In3; or (iv) any internal reports drawn up by the In3 internal audit department.

Article 10. International transfer of Personal Data

10.1            If and insofar as Personal Data are passed on by In3 to one or more Sub-Processors in a country outside the EEA without an adequate level of data protection, In3 will provide appropriate additional safeguards under Article 46 of the GDPR to ensure the Personal Data are protected.

11.5            If a provision of this Processor’s Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Processor’s Agreement remain unaffected. In that case, the invalid or unenforceable provision will either be (i) modified in a way necessary to guarantee validity and enforceability, while maintaining the intentions of the parties as much as possible or, if this is not possible, (ii) deemed to have never formed a part of the provision.

3. Why we collect data

As the contractor, we register and maintain personal data of the employees of the client (contact person). These data are used to get in touch, make business appointments, exchange dossier data and to communicate and/or coordinate the execution. When communicating, we record with whom this communication took place.

4. Data processed by us

When entering into a business relationship, starting from the request for information up to and including the interactions during the handling of files, we record the contact details of the contact person.  This concerns name, job title, e-mail address and direct (mobile) telephone number.

Before sending any newsletters, we explicitly ask for permission for the processing of personal data.

5. Basis for data processing

8. What rights do you have

Right of inspection

The contact person has the right to inspect the data processed about him or her. The contact person can submit a request to that end via our website or by sending an e-mail to the data protection officer. We will respond by sending an overview of all personal data held on record by us on the contact person as soon as possible.

Right to correction

The right to delete data

The contact person has the right to have personal data deleted. When it concerns personal data that are processed subject to consent, we will immediately delete those data. In most situations, we have a legal obligation to store data for a number of years. In that case, we cannot delete those data straight away. We will always carefully review any requests and notify the person making the request whether we can delete the personal data. If deletion is not possible, we will state the reason.
