Purpose of processing your personal data
‘Personal data’ refers to all information that relates to you as an individual. In connection with its work, My Home Amsterdam may need your personal data for two purposes.
1) You would like to rent accommodation from us.
We may offer accommodation on behalf of one of our clients and you may be interested in renting that accommodation through us. In that case, we require your personal data to be able to verify your identity, which involves verifying whether you are who you say you are. We also check whether the accommodation is suitable for you should you have any physical impairments. In addition to this, we verify your income and whether you are in a position to pay the monthly rental. By carrying out these checks, we avoid any debates later on.
You may also sign up with us to rent a property but that property is ultimately rented to someone else. In that case, we still need your personal data to verify your identity and financial means.
If you would rather not share the personal data that we require with us, or only some of it, then we will not be able to conclude a rental agreement between you and our client. This means that you will not be able to rent the accommodation on offer. Any consequences arising from deliberately failing to share your personal data, either entirely or in part, will be for your own account. My Home Amsterdam disclaims all liability in this respect.
2) We manage a property that you rent from one of our clients.
In addition to renting accommodation, My Home Amsterdam also manages various residential properties. In that case, our client will have instructed us to manage the property on their behalf. We need your personal data if you rent a property that we manage. We need this personal data to be able to implement the rental agreement properly. Among other things, we use this information to contact you when necessary.
Consequences of not providing your information
You are obliged to give us the personal data we need for entering into or implementing rental agreements. If you would rather not share with us the personal data that we require, or only some of it, then we will not be able to implement the rental agreement properly. This may mean that we approach you without good reason or in the wrong way. Any consequences arising from deliberately failing to share your personal data, either entirely or in part, will be for your own account. My Home Amsterdam disclaims all liability in this respect.

Sharing your personal data
My Home Amsterdam will collect your personal data in accordance with applicable personal data protection legislation, including the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 as of the date of its entry into force, and its domestic implementing legislation.
My Home Amsterdam will only share your personal data if it is necessary for the implementation or conclusion of a rental agreement. For these purposes, My Home Amsterdam, will provide the personal data to third parties if necessary, such as the bank for payment purposes, our client’s counterparty, debt collection agencies, bailiffs, lawyers and judicial authorities in the event of payment arrears or disputes, the tax authorities and other competent authorities, as well as service providers such as IT suppliers, accountants and auditors.
Personal data may be transferred to affiliated companies (if they are based in non-EU countries, the EU standard contractual clauses will govern these transfers) and to third parties with which My Home Amsterdam has a contractual relationship, such as external service providers. My Home Amsterdam will take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unlawful or accidental loss or destruction of, or access to the data. As the client, however, you acknowledge that the transmission of personal data via the internet is never without risk. As the client, you therefore acknowledge and accept that any damages you may suffer as a result of the unlawful use of personal data by third parties who have not been authorised to do so can never be recovered from the My Home Amsterdam, except in case of fraud, deliberate error or grave error.

Retention period
We do not keep your data for longer than is necessary. We delete your personal data after five years, unless you rent accommodation through us and we are the manager.
We retain your personal data for as long as you rent accommodation from us. Your personal data will be deleted five years after the termination of the rental agreement between you and our client. This five-year period also applies if our client transfers the management of your property to another organisation and My Home Amsterdam is no longer your manager.
