General information
Personal data is any information that relates to an identified or identifiable living individual. Indirect information, which combined can lead to the identification of a particular person, also constitutes personal data. BEE may process data for the benefit of her business activities, such as the production of events, audiovisual works and the development of concepts. BEE shall ensure that data that is made available to her, shall be treated as confidential and shall be protected as set out in the General Data Protection Act, hereafter the ‘GDPR’.

Minors
For persons below the age of 16, BEE will only process personal data if your parents or guardians have read this policy and given their consent. This applies only if consent is also the grounds for processing. Taking into consideration the available technology, we make reasonable endeavours to check whether your parents or guardians have indeed given their consent.

Retention of data
We shall retain data no longer than necessary.
