Special and/or Sensitive Personal Data We Process

Our website and/or service does not intend to collect data about website visitors under the age of 16, unless they have permission from a parent or guardian. However, we cannot verify whether a visitor is over 16. We therefore recommend that parents be involved in their children’s online activities to prevent data from being collected without parental consent. If you believe that we have collected personal data about a minor without that consent, please contact us at office@barkanl.org, and we will delete this information.

  • Handling your payment
  • Analyzing your behavior on the website to improve the website and tailor our products and services to your preferences
  • Processing personal data if we are legally obliged to do so, such as information we need for our tax return

Automated Decision-Making

Stichting Barka makes decisions based on automated processing that can have (significant) consequences for people. These are decisions made by computer programs or systems without human involvement (such as a Stichting Barka employee).
