Profiling

We can use profiling. Profiling means collecting, analyzing and combining (personal) data with the aim of dividing you into certain (interest) categories. For the construction of the profiles, the profiling algorithm can theoretically take all types of relevant data with it. This concerns personal data as mentioned in the above privacy statements, but also data from reliable external sources such as CBS or socio-demographic data at household level (such as estimation of age class or family composition) through specialized agencies.

After obtaining the data, analyses are carried out with the result that we automatically add certain (interest) categories to your profile. For example, profiling ensures that the content of our websites, apps and emails and our offers and advertisements better match your interests. Profiling can have an impact on your privacy. For example, if we have linked incorrect (interest) categories to you based on incorrect or outdated data. You can unsubscribe by filling in the contact form and sending it to us: fondsenwerving@legerdesheils.nl. We will then exclude you from profiling in the future.

Links to third parties

Our websites may contain links to third-party websites. They use their own privacy statements. Make sure that you carefully review these terms and conditions before entering personal data on the website of another organization. The Salvation Army is not responsible or liable for how these third parties handle your personal data.
