We make contractual arrangements with all these suppliers in order to protect any data that is exchanged.

Staff at Van Heek Medical have access to your data if and to the extent that their job requires this, for the procurement or sale or supply of the medical disposables and/or for the performance of the additional processes. Every employee signs a non-disclosure agreement when joining our company. Our staff are also made aware of the importance of this topic during their internal basic training.

8. How long do we retain your data?
We do not retain your personal data for any longer than necessary for the purposes for which it is processed. Unless we are required by law to retain your personal data for a longer period, we will delete your personal data no later than 2 years after our business relationship comes to an end.
