Privacyverklaring

The Stichting Administratiekantoor Aandelen Triodos Bank ("SAAT") Privacy Statement sets out your rights and the measures SAAT will take to protect your personal data. This includes how we will use your information, what rights you have, and how the law protects you as an individual. SAAT is a Data Controller as defined under data privacy legislation.

SAAT will review and amend this privacy statement from time to time. You can always find the most up to date version on our website www.saatfoundation.com. Any terms with a specific definition used in this statement, are explained in the Glossary section.

What is personal data?

Personal data means any information relating to an individual who can be directly or indirectly identified by reference to the information.

Individuals are referred to as data subjects under data privacy legislation. A wide range of information constitutes personal data including names, contact information, fiscal identification numbers, financial information, employment details, and online identifiers often referred to as ‘cookies’ for example. This applies to both digital and paper-based information included within filing systems, or which is intended to be placed within a filing system.

What does processing mean?

The processing of personal data means any interaction with the information including viewing, collecting, sharing, storing, transferring or analysing it for instance. This can be by both a Data Controller, and a Data Processor.

Who holds your personal data?

Your personal data will be held by SAAT in The Netherlands. You can find information on how to contact us as well as further information on what SAAT does, on our website.

Why is your personal data required?

When you apply for a product or service with SAAT you will need to provide certain personal data to enable us to process your application, and to then provide the product or service you want on an on-going basis. The personal data you have provided, we have collected from you, or we have received from third parties (e.g., Triodos Bank), will be used to prevent fraud, and to verify your identity.

How will SAAT use your personal data?

The EU General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") legislation only allows the processing of personal data if one or more conditions are met; this is known as a lawful basis for processing.

There are six lawful bases provided in relation to the processing of personal data, which are included in the Glossary section. SAAT will only process your personal data for the reasons it was provided for, and only where there is a lawful basis for processing allowing this under current legislation.

Who do we share your personal data with?

How will personal data be shared?

SAAT will only share your data if there is a lawful basis to do so. We will treat all your personal data as private and confidential and in accordance with data privacy legislation (even when you are no longer a customer). Information we hold about you will not be disclosed to anyone unless:

we are legally required to disclose the information. This includes sharing your information with tax authorities and law enforcement agencies;
we need to disclose the information for the purposes of or in connection with any legal proceedings, or for the purposes of obtaining legal advice, or the disclosure is otherwise necessary for the purposes of establishing, exercising or defending legal rights;
disclosure is required to protect our legitimate interests, or someone else’s legitimate interests (for example, to prevent fraud);
the disclosure is made with your consent; or

We may need to share your personal data with other organisations to provide you with the product or service you have chosen. For example:

Government authorities who are entitled to request your data;
Fraud prevention agencies and legal authorities;
Companies you ask us to share your data with;
If you are a depository receipt holder, we will share your information with the party responsible for managing the register of depository receipt holders. Further detail is included below.

SAAT is entitled to register the personal data of holders of depository receipts issued by SAAT. We do this under or pursuant to the terms of administration of the depository receipts. SAAT has entered into a register management agreement with Triodos Bank N.V., who in turn has entered into an agreement with Captin B.V. ("Captin") to manage the registration of the register of depository receipt holders on behalf of Triodos Bank. To enable Captin to fulfil its role as administrator of the register of depository receipt holders, Triodos Bank has shared the register with Captin.

SAAT’ default position is that we will not disclose or transfer personal data to organisations outside of the European Economic Area ("EEA"). When we do transfer personal data outside of the EEA, we will make sure that it is protected at the same level as within the EEA by using one of these safeguards:

Transfer data to organisations in non-EEA countries (or states or provinces of these countries) with privacy laws in place providing the same level of data privacy protection as within the EEA;
Put a contract in place with the recipient ensuring that they will process the data with the same level of data protection as within the EEA.

As long as you are a depository receipt holder of SAAT we will process your personal data to provide you with information and services you have asked us to provide.

If you are no longer a depository receipt holder, we may retain some or all of your personal data for up to 10 years (depending on the product or services you took out) for one or more of these reasons:

To respond to any questions or complaints;
To show that we treated you fairly; or
To meet our ongoing legal and regulatory requirements.

We may keep your personal data for longer than 10 years if we cannot delete it for legal, regulatory or technical reasons. Personal data will be retained with the utmost care and security measures will be applied to ensure your privacy and security are maintained.
