3. Special and/or sensitive personal data that we process
A. Our website and/or service does not intend to collect data about website visitors who are younger than 16 years unless they have permission from their parent or guardian. However, it is impossible for us to check whether a visitor is over 16 years old. We, therefore, recommend that parents get involved in their children’s online activities in order to prevent data from being collected about children without parental consent.
B. If you are convinced that we have collected personal data about a minor without parental consent, please contact us via info@gelkingehof.nl. We will then delete this information.

Gelkingehof Aparthotel will not store your personal data for longer than is strictly necessary based on legislation and regulations to achieve the purposes for which your data is collected.
The retention periods of cookies that are placed by Google (third-party) can be found in the privacy statement of Google.
6. Disclosure of your personal data to third parties
- Gelkingehof Aparthotel does not sell your data to third parties and will only make it available to third parties if this is necessary for the performance of our agreement with you or in order to comply with a legal obligation.
- We conclude processor agreements with companies that process your data on our behalf to ensure the same level of security and confidentiality of your data. Gelkingehof Aparthotel remains the data controller. These companies include Google for web statistics and YouTube videos, and Exigent for e-mail and website hosting.
7. The use of cookies
Gelkingehof Aparthotel uses technical, functional and analytical cookies that do not infringe on your privacy. A cookie is a small text file that is stored on your computer, tablet or smartphone on your first visit to this web shop. We also place marketing cookies which keep track of your surfing behaviour.

- Google may transfer this data to third parties where required to do so by law or where such third parties process the data on Google’s behalf.
- Gelkingehof Aparthotel does not have any influence on this. We have given Google permission, through their terms and conditions, to use the data obtained for other Google services.
B. Anonymising
- Gelkingehof Aparthotel has concluded a processor agreement with Google. The data that is collected by Google is anonymised which means that your IP address is masked.
9. Youtube
A. Articles on our website may use embedded YouTube videos that are hosted by Google and are made available on Gelkingehof Aparthotel’s site. For the placing of an embedded code, we have ticked the ‘Enable Privacy Mode’. This means that YouTube will not store any data until you start watching the video. If you click ‘Play’ on a YouTube video, YouTube will store cookies.
B. These cookies are used for adjusting the quality of the YouTube video to the speed of your internet connection, for keeping track of the number of videos you have watched and to ensure that your user experience is as pleasant as possible, for example, by showing other relevant videos. We have no control over these third-party cookies. What YouTube does with the cookies and personal data can be found in Google’s privacy statement.
10. Accessing, changing or deleting data
A. You have the right to access, correct or delete your personal data that we have stored. You can do this yourself by sending a specific request to info@gelkingehof.nl.

In this copy, please black out the citizen service number (BSN), MRZ (machine readable zone: the barcode with numbers at the bottom of the passport), the passport number and your passport photo.
