    Personal data that we process

    OrangeTax processes your personal data as a result of you using our services and / or by you providing it yourself.

    Below, an overview of the personal data we process:

    • First and last name
    • Gender
    • Date of birth
    • Birthplace
    • Address details
    • Telephone number
    • E-mail address
    • Bank account number

    • Other personal data that you actively provide, for example by filling in a contact form on our website, in correspondence and by telephone

    Special and / or sensitive personal data that we process

    Our website and / or services do 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 encourage parents to be involved in the online activities of their children in order to prevent data about children being collected without parental consent. If you are convinced that we have collected personal information about a minor without this consent, please contact us via hermin@orangetax.nl, so we can delete this information.

    For what purpose and on what basis we process personal data

    OrangeTax processes your personal data for the following purposes:

    • To call or e-mail if necessary to carry out our services
    • To inform you about changes to our services and Dutch tax rules
    • To deliver services to you
    • For handling your payment
    • For sending a newsletter or other marketing related information
    • OrangeTax also processes personal data if we are legally obliged to do so, such as information we need for our tax return.

    Automated decision-making

    OrangeTax does not take decisions based on automated processing on matters that can have (significant) consequences for people. This concerns decisions taken by computer programs or systems, without involving a person (for example, a staff member of OrangeTax).

    How long we store personal data

    OrangeTax will not store your personal data longer, and in a form that makes it possible to identify you as the person concerned, than is necessary for the realisation of the purposes for which they are collected or subsequently edited. As the responsible party, OrangeTax themselves will decide how long the recorded personal data will be retained.

    Sharing personal data with third parties

    OrangeTax shares your personal data with various third parties if this is necessary for the execution of the agreement, such as subcontracting accounting colleagues. We also provide information to comply with any legal obligation.
    If applicable, we will conclude a processor agreement with companies that process data on our behalf to ensure the same level of security and confidentiality of your data. OrangeTax remains responsible for these processing operations.
