  • administer contracts, invoices, and client relationships

  • meet accounting, tax, and other legal obligations

Depending on the circumstances, processing is based on your consent, steps taken at your request before entering into a contract, performance of a contract, compliance with a legal obligation, or the legitimate interests of Crossley Consulting in operating and managing the business.

5. How long is information kept?

Personal information is kept only as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

As a general guideline:

  • information relating to an inquiry that does not become a client engagement will normally be deleted when it is no longer reasonably needed, typically within two years of the last contact

  • information relating to clients and completed engagements may be retained as necessary to manage the professional relationship and address subsequent questions

  • invoices, financial records, and other information subject to Dutch tax or accounting requirements will be retained for the period required by law

  • website and analytics information is retained according to the relevant website and analytics settings and services
