WHY DO WE COLLECT, USE, AND DISCLOSE PERSONAL DATA?

The Personal Data collected is used and disclosed for the following purposes: • to contact you if you have requested to be contacted by means of the contact form; • to send you (personalised) marketing, advertising, and promotional messages and other information that may be of interest to you, in relation to the products, services and events provided by Youhorse.auction.

If the sharing of data is required for the aforementioned purposes, your personal data can be disclosed to third party service providers who require such information to assist us with establishing, maintaining and managing our relationship with you. In some instances, such parties may also provide certain information technology and data processing services to us so that we may operate our business. In those cases, third party service providers who process personal data on behalf of Youhorse.auction, if any, will be required to take appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the security of that data, and to act only in accordance with the instructions of Youhorse.auction in respect of the processing of such data. Your data will be stored exclusively in the Netherlands. Personal Data may furthermore be disclosed or transferred to another party in the event of a change in ownership of, or a grant of a security interest in, all or a part of Youhorse.auction.

Except as otherwise permitted or required by applicable law or regulatory requirements, Youhorse.auction endeavors to retain Personal Data only for as long as it believes is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which the Personal Data was collected (including, for the purpose of meeting any legal, accounting or other reporting requirements or obligations). If destroying or erasing Personal Data is not mandatory by law, we may make it anonymous such that it cannot be associated with or tracked back to the individual.
