Use of personal data
STUNS processes personal data in order to comply with agreements entered into with the registered person and, when required, fulfill obligations under applicable law. When agreement or support in law is lacking, consent is obtained and, in some cases, processing can occur with the help of a so-called balance of interests.

All in order to provide better and more personalized offers.

Data is saved during the actual collaboration and then deleted if requested. Otherwise, data is saved for a maximum of ten years after the completion of collaboration, according to regulations from our financiers.
In order for STUNS to best promote its business areas, data is gathered in the form of leads. These are treated according to an interest weighting and used for clearly predefined purposes. Information of this kind is saved until these purposes are met, but for no more than two years.
