General
VDL Groep welcomes you to this website and appreciates your interest in our company and our products and services. VDL Groep places great importance on your privacy. Therefore, we consider it important to inform you how we handle your personal data. This privacy policy applies to all personal data that visitors to the VDL Groep B.V. website or its subsidiaries leave behind. For transparency, we have described in this privacy policy what we do with this data.
The personal data processed by VDL via the website often include your contact details such as a name and email address, a search query you enter, or a question you pose in the contact form. Additionally, you can use the functions ‘Vacancies, Working at VDL, Internship & Education, and Contact’ to search for vacancies, and these searches can also be stored and linked to, for example, your IP address, as well as the information uploaded or entered by a website visitor on the site. Of course, we also process uploaded CVs and motivation letters.
Additionally, information can be automatically stored about you as a visitor to this website, such as your IP address and your clicking behavior. We often retrieve this information directly during your visit using so-called cookies. You can find more information about this in the cookie statement.
We would like to point out that even if you visit the website as a business customer, we consider these data as (indirect) personal data and therefore ensure your privacy.
The information you provide to VDL Groep via the website is processed by us for general business purposes such as providing information about certain products and services. With the stored personal data, we can then contact you.
Your data may also be used for sending digital newsletters, provided you have given your explicit consent for this. We consider this form of contact as VDL’s legitimate interest.
In addition, the website also serves as an application channel and displays job vacancies. These processing activities are also considered to be VDL’s legitimate interests, as well as necessary for the performance (or preparation) of an employment contract.
Among the processing activities, at least, is the sending of personal data within VDL Groep. This website acts as a central point, and personal data is forwarded to the relevant entity you wish to contact as a business customer or applicant. Of course, these personal data are only transferred if there is a necessary reason for it and solely to recipients for whom the personal data are relevant. It may occur that your data are shared with foreign VDL entities.
If VDL believes that you are using the website unlawfully, this is a reason to pass your personal data to a (legal) third-party recipient.
On our website, there are various buttons located throughout that provide access to social media channels. If you use these social media buttons, the privacy statement of the respective social media applies, and they will store your personal data accordingly. VDL has no influence over, and assumes no responsibility for, the use of social media buttons on the VDL website.
VDL Groep does not retain your data longer than strictly necessary. For the purposes described above, a retention period of 6 months is reasonable. Additionally, VDL may retain anonymized data for statistical and research purposes. For personal data received in connection with a job application or the process leading up to it, VDL will not keep this information longer than 4 weeks after the closure of the relevant procedure. If VDL has asked for and obtained your consent, VDL may retain these application data for a maximum of two years.
Because we process your personal data, you have the right to:

All personal data that you leave on this website is provided voluntarily. However, it goes without saying that we are unable to contact you, provide information, or carry out a recruitment process if we do not have the correct personal data.
If you have any questions or comments about how we handle your personal data, please contact us via AVG@vdl.nl. We will do our utmost to assist you. If you wish to respond to this privacy policy or if you believe VDL Groep is not acting in accordance with this privacy policy, we ask you to contact VDL Groep via AVG@vdl.nl. If we cannot resolve the issue, you always have the option to submit a complaint to the Data Protection Authority.
