Privacy- & cookiestatement

We use the website to process various types of personal data, depending on your reason for visiting the website. The following are some of the purposes for which we process personal data on the website:

To offer you an opportunity to book and purchase tickets for film screenings or to book a table at our restaurant, whether for a private party or on behalf of a group of people, and also to process your booking or purchase, and to inform you about the status of your booking.

In order for you to register as a member of a film club or the Eye Society, or as a member of a panel of judges.

In order for you to register as a member (of Ladies Eye, for example) and in order to process bookings for, and requests to book, events such as parties.

To comply with a request from members of the press

To visit the museum and/or to conduct interviews.

To comply with your request for access to information, or to view posters or photographs relating to our collection.

To comply with your request to restore and digitise film material of yours.

To take up your offer of a financial and/or material donation to Eye.

To comply with requests from schools to visit the museum or the collection and/or for workshops to be conducted on their own premises.

To process your job application.

To respond to a question or comment that you have submitted using the contact form on the website.

To email you newsletters or to correspond with you by post.

To answer your queries or to deal with your complaints made on social media, or received by email, post or telephone.

For analytical purposes, with a view to refining and improving the website, for performing statistical analyses and market research, such as anonymous counts of the number of visitors to the page for a particular film on the website, and for making more personalised offers in our newsletters.

Depending on whether the data in question are processed for one or more of the purposes listed above, we process the following types of personal data relating to visitors to the website:

Name, email address, telephone number.

In the case of Cineville card-holders, the card number (whenever a Cineville card-holder makes a booking on the website).

Digital passport photograph (only if you upload it yourself and have therefore given us your consent to process it).

Gender (so as to send you personalised messages, for example if you register as a ‘friend’ of Eye)
age (in order to verify whether you are an adult and are therefore entitled to give your consent to the processing of your personal data, and also in connection with a job application).

Technical data on the device you are using, such as the IP or MAC address, cookie identifiers and your navigational behaviour on our website
bank account details, such as your IBAN and bank account number (if you book and pay for a film ticket on the website and/or in order to collect membership fees).

In the case of job applicants: name and full address, email address, telephone number, date of birth, motivation and further information in relation to the vacancy in question.

Acting in conjunction with Cineville B.V., we offer Cineville card-holders the opportunity to use their Cineville card to attend a film screening. Cineville card-holders can book a ticket for a film on the website. In certain cases, the card-holder needs to pay a surcharge.

At the point when the Cineville card-holder makes the booking and/or pays the extra surcharge (if applicable), we process the Cineville card-holder’s personal data, i.e. his or her name, Cineville card number and email address. We process these personal data in order to enable the Cineville card-holder to attend a film screening. We are responsible for processing these personal data.

The accuracy of the personal data supplied by the Cineville card-holder on the website is checked by linking the data on our website with Cineville’s database (in which other personal data relating to Cineville card-holders are stored). In other words, Cineville is required to approve all bookings made with a Cineville card. This means that Cineville has access to the personal data supplied by Cineville card-holders on the website. This is necessary in order to comply with a card-holder’s request to book a ticket for a film screening. As the owner and issuer of Cineville cards, Cineville is responsible for processing the personal data to which it has access by means of the link on the website. The way in which Cineville processes personal data is set out in Cineville’s own privacy policy.

When a Cineville card-holder enters his or her data on the website in order to make a booking, we do not gain access to any personal data other than those entered by the Cineville card-holder on the website. We do not retain the personal data of Cineville card-holders that we obtain from the website for any longer than is strictly necessary.

You are responsibility for the accuracy of all personal data you supply to us. Except in the case of wilfulness or gross negligence, we are not liable for any inaccuracies or for the consequences of any action taken on the basis of inaccurate or incomplete information supplied by you.

We take suitable security measures to protect your personal data against misuse and unauthorised access. More specifically, we ensure that the only persons who have access to your personal data are those who need to do so, that access to your personal data is protected, and that our security measures are regularly checked.

We do not retain your personal data for any longer than is reasonably necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy notice, with the exception of data that we are obliged by law to retain for a longer period of time. The retention period during which personal data are stored depends on the purpose for which the personal data are used.

Personal data relating to your ordering account or other accounts on our website are erased three months after you have closed your account. Personal data relating to your newsletter subscription are removed or aggregated (so that you are no longer identifiable from the data) six months after you have unsubscribed.

All personal data relating to your membership of Eye or to a donation made as a benefactor of Eye are erased 24 months after you have terminated your membership or, as the case may be, made your donation. We are obliged by law to retain financial information on your membership or donation for a period of seven years following the termination of your membership or donation.

Personal data relating to a booking or to a request for access to information or to the collection are either erased or aggregated (so that you are no longer identifiable from the data) after three months. Aggregated data may be used for the purpose of analytical or statistical research.

Job applicants: personal data relating to a job applicant are destroyed no later than four weeks after the end of the selection procedure, unless the applicant has consented to a longer retention period. This may be the case, for example, if it is thought that a suitable vacancy may arise in the future.

Payment data: payment data are processed for tax purposes and are therefore retained for the statutory seven-year period.

All other data of yours that are processed on the website are erased once we no longer have any need to process the data in question.

We do not share any personal data with third parties, with the exception of processors engaged by us for the purpose of storing, managing and maintaining the website and the services offered on the website, such as on-line purchases of film tickets. We have signed appropriate data-processing contracts with these processors; these contracts contain confidentiality clauses. The processors with whom we work may not process personal data for other purposes.

In certain instances, we are under a statutory obligation to disclose certain personal data to third parties. For example, the police may ask us for certain information as part of an anti-fraud investigation. We are obliged by law to supply this information.
