Special and/or Sensitive Personal Data We Process:

Our website and services do not intend to collect data about website visitors under the age of 16, unless they have explicit permission from parents or guardians. However, verifying a visitor’s age is not always feasible. Thus, we encourage parents to actively participate in their children’s online activities to prevent data collection without parental consent. If you suspect that we have collected personal data about a minor without proper authorization, please contact us at info@bsm.nl.

BSM Business Security Management B.V. processes your personal data for the following purposes:

  • Contacting you

  • Offering consultation on Cybersecurity and phishing tests
  • Complying with legal obligations, such as data required for tax returns
  • Managing your service changes by BSM
  • Sending our newsletter and/or advertising brochure
  • Delivering goods and services to you

BSM is the data controller, a role that remained unchanged with the implementation of the GDPR.

Automated Decision Making:

BSM Business Security Management B.V. does not base decisions with (significant) consequences for individuals on automated processing. Such decisions are made without human intervention (e.g., by a BSM Business Security Management B.V. employee).

Retention of Personal Data:

BSM does not retain your personal data for longer than strictly necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collect your data and as required by law. The exact duration varies, for example, invoice data is retained for seven years due to mandatory retention requirements for tax authorities, or when a contract between the client and BSM is terminated, customer data is cleared except when longer retention is legally mandated.

Cancellation can be done, among other methods, by sending an email with the following request in the title:
