What are personal data?

In this privacy statement, we will explain how we handle your personal data and the measures we take to protect it.

This privacy statement does not apply to the information of a venue presentation (such as description, prices, features, and photos of a venue) that a venue or caterer offers to High Profile Locaties BV for publication on the High Profile Locaties platform.

What data do we collect?

Without information, we cannot assist you in finding the ideal venue. Therefore, when you use the platform, there is certain information that we request about you and your preferences for your (potential) venue. Additionally, we also collect information from your computer, phone, tablet, or other device used to access our websites and apps, including the IP address, browser you use, and click behavior.

Personal data we receive from you: This includes your name, gender, address, email address, phone number, event date, preferences, and final venue choices and budgets. You can choose to submit special requests for your (potential) venue, such as information requests, quote forms, option/date placements, scheduling visits, and search queries. We must emphasize that it is your own responsibility to ensure that your colleague, for whom you have provided personal data, is aware of and understands and accepts how High Profile Locaties BV uses their information (as described in this Privacy Statement).

Personal data we collect automatically: We also collect information from your computer, phone, tablet, or other device used to access our websites and apps, including the IP address, internet browser, date and time of access to our sites and apps, and information about your computer's operating system, such as application versions and language settings. We also collect information about your click behavior and the pages shown to you. If you use a mobile device, we collect data about your device, device-specific settings and characteristics, and other system activities. These apps and mobile websites process the personal data you provide to us in the same way as our website, and you can use location services to find a nearby venue. The cookie statement explains how this data is obtained and processed.

Personal data we receive from others: We also receive data from other business partners. All information received from them may be combined with information provided by you. From a venue, we learn about the reservation details and when it will take place. Naturally, both parties want to know if the venue search has been successful. From our research agency, we learn your preferences and requirements regarding the venue for your meeting and event.

For what purpose do we use the personal data?

Our aim is to connect you with potential venues. This is, after all, the added value of using our services. Without personal data, we cannot assist you in finding the ideal venue.

We also use your personal data to contact you and keep you informed about the latest deals, special offers, and other products and services that we believe may be of interest to you.

Furthermore, we want to ensure that your search experience is user-friendly and tailored to your preferences, which is why we use various cookies.

A cookie is a text file that a website stores locally on your computer. With the help of these cookies, the website can, for example, remember usage information or load the website faster during your next visit.

How we may share personal data

We only share your data with other business partners when it is truly necessary for our service. These business partners include the venues themselves, as they need to assist you with your inquiry, provide a quote, or arrange a visit. This is crucial to what we do. We also work with IT service providers, including internet agencies, hosting providers, data processing parties, and research agencies that conduct annual surveys to provide market insights. We have clear agreements with these business partners regarding the use of your personal data. Your personal data may only be used for the purpose of fulfilling the requested service.

Retention periods

We do not retain your data for longer than strictly necessary for the purpose of our services. If we are required to retain data for a longer period due to legal obligations, we will do so.
