Personal data that we process

Elena Translations processes your personal data because you use our translation services and/or because you provide it to us yourself. This happens if you, as a private individual or as a company, ask us to have documents translated.
Below you will find an overview of the personal data we process:

  • First and last name
  • Sex
  • Date of birth
  • Birthplace
  • Address data
  • phone number
  • E-mail address
  • Bank account number
  • IP address
  • Other personal data that you actively provide, for example in correspondence (e.g. by e-mail or via a form on our website) and by telephone.

We emphatically point out that gender, date of birth and place of birth are not recorded in our administration, but that the source texts you provide and the translation are stored in our archives on the basis of legal regulations.
This data will generally appear less frequently in business documents, but even then the treatment will be the same.

Special and/or sensitive personal data that we process

Elena Translations processes the following special and/or sensitive personal data of yours if they appear in the documents for translation:

  • health (translation of medical documents)
  • criminal history (translation of legal documents)
  • citizen service number (BSN) (translation of e.g. passport)
  • biometric data/race (photos on passports, etc)
  • data of persons under the age of 16 (translation of e.g. birth certificate).

Our website and/or service does not intend to collect data about website visitors who are younger than 16 years of age. Unless they have permission from parents or guardians. However, we cannot check whether a visitor is older than 16. We therefore recommend that parents be involved in their children’s online activities to prevent data about children from being collected without parental consent. If you are convinced that we have collected personal information about a minor without this consent, please contact us at info@elenatranslations.nl and we will delete this information.

For what purpose and on what basis do we process personal data?

You give permission to Elena Translations to process your personal data for the following purposes:

  • To be able to carry out your translation assignments
  • Process payment from and to you
  • To be able to call or email you if this is necessary in connection with our services
  • Elena Translations also processes personal data if we are legally obliged to do so, such as data that we need for tax returns.

No automated decision making

Elena Translations does not make decisions based on automated processing on matters that could have (significant) consequences for people. This concerns decisions that are made by computer programs or systems, without a human being involved (for example an employee of Elena Translations).

How long we keep personal data

Elena Translations does not store your personal data for longer than is strictly necessary to achieve the purposes for which your data is collected. We keep personal data for as long as you allow this and for as long as the legal retention obligations regarding accounting apply.

Sharing personal data with third parties

Elena Translations does not sell your information to third parties and only provides it if this is necessary for the execution of our agreement with you or to comply with a legal obligation.
