The KNHB is responsible for the processing of your personal data. This means that the KNHB determines the purposes and means for the processing and that the KNHB is responsible for compliance with the regulations. We can be reached via privacy@knhb.nl.

Why do we use your personal data?

The KNHB processes your personal data for various purposes. We only process personal data that is essential for these purposes.

The following purposes require the processing of personal data by the KNHB. To be able to:

  • contact you;

  • show you specific KNHB advertisements on third-party websites. This can be done, for example, by creating specific target groups with the help of targeting tools on Facebook and/or Google or by uploading (encrypted) e-mail addresses. Targeted advertisements are then shown to these target groups.

Your personal data can be exchanged with or made available to all parts of the KNHB for the aforementioned purposes. It is also possible that when you use different KNHB products and / or services, your data will be combined into a profile with data from (the use of) other KNHB products and/or services and / or from third parties (as mentioned below) under ‘data obtained from third parties’)

We also use your personal data for relationship management and activities to increase our database of hockey players, fans, volunteers and other parties involved in the KNHB and to inform you about our activities. We try to take your preferences into account. If you no longer wish to receive information from the KNHB, the KNHB will always offer you the opportunity to unsubscribe.

Why are we allowed to process your personal data?

According to legislation, in particular the GDPR, the KNHB may only process personal data if one of the legal bases applies. The KNHB uses the following legal grounds for the processing of personal data:

A.   after obtaining permission from the person whose personal data we process;

B.   in the context of the formation and/or execution of an agreement;

C.   to comply with the law (including accounting, tax obligations and obligations in the context of court orders or other mandatory laws and regulations);

D.   with reference to the legitimate interests of the KNHB, whereby the KNHB ensures the impact on your privacy is as limited as possible.

For example, personal data is processed in the case of:

  • creating reasearch and statistics;
  • exercise and defence of the rights of the KNHB, for example in disputes;
  • management of member data or support thereof, including the creation of segments and profiles for member management or for monitoring member needs;
  • taking care of and improving the website, whereby the KNHB can monitor your c(lick) behaviour during visits to the website in order to improve your experience. The KNHB can link your IP address to your actions and determine your preferences that way. We always ask for your explicit permission for this in advance (see our cookie statement).

How long do we keep your personal data?

The KNHB does not store personal data longer than necessary for the realization of the purposes for which the data is processed, and in any case for as long as specific regulations require.

How do we obtain your personal data?

If you are a member of a hockey club (association) , the KNHB is in the posession of certain personal details, such as your name, address, age and e-mail address. The association passes the information on to the KNHB after your registration. The KNHB then links this data to a personal registration number (‘bondsnummer’). This number is only used for administrative and organizational purposes of the KNHB and your hockey club.

In other cases we obtain your personal data directly from you and process it, for example if you create an account, register for a course, workshop or training, or sign up for the newsletter.

1. Create an account

To use certain parts of our Platforms, you must first create an account. After creating your account, we save your data, so that when you log in you get a personalized news overview (hockey.nl) and you have the option to respond to messages.

To create an account, we ask for the following information:

  • Name
  • Date of birth
  • Personal registration number (‘bondsnummer’)
  • E-mail address
  • Photo (optional)

If you are a member of a hockey club (or are registered as holding a position within the association) and you enter your personal registration number, some of this information (name, date of birth, gender and e-mail address) can already be identified by the KNHB. It is possible to enter a different e-mail address other than the one known by the KNHB when creating an account. However, the details in the membership of the hockey club will not be adjusted.

If you delete your account, the personal information in relation to your account will also be deleted.

For more information and questions about your personal data, please contact privacy@knhb.nl.

2. Subscribe to the Newsletter

You can subscribe to the hockey.nl newsletter. We will keep you informed of hockey news via the newsletter. Your e-mail address will automatically be added to the mailing list of the newsletter. In every newsletter you receive, there is a link with which you can unsubscribe.

3. Cookies

In addition, we obtain data via cookies, such as your surfing behavior, the time at which you use our online services or the type of service you use. We can link this information to your account when you are logged in.

4. Information obtained from third parties

If you register with one of our partners for a service or product of the KNHB, such as a registration for one of our newsletters, we will receive the relevant data from this partner and we may process it for the purpose for which you provided that data. For example, when you log in via a social media party (e.g. Facebook) on a website or app of the KNHB, we receive your e-mail address and public profile information.

We use third parties to manage our Platforms. It is possible that these third parties have access to your personal data.
