For example, the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA) may request your data from us in the context of research or a report. We conclude a processor agreement with companies that process your data on our instructions to ensure the same level of security and confidentiality of your data. Naktuinbouw remains responsible for this processing.

In addition, you have the right to withdraw your consent to data processing and to object to the processing of your personal data by Naktuinbouw and you have the right to data portability. This means that you can submit a request to us to send the personal data that we hold about you in a computer file to you or another organisation specified by you.
