How we protect your personal data when we share it with parties that do not fall under European data protection rules
DAF Trucks N.V. is part of the PACCAR group of companies. Where this is necessary for the achievement of the data processing purposed we pursue, personal data may be shared with PACCAR related entities inside and outside the European Economic Area. Provided that it is protection by a level essentially equivalent to EU standards (GDPR).

If we share personal data with an organization that does not fall under European data protection rules and is not able to rely on an adequacy decision from the European Commission, we protect your personal data by using appropriate safeguards. An example we often use are the Standard Contractual Clauses from the European Commission. These make sure that the parties we share your personal data with uphold the same or similar standards of data protection as we do. These Standard Contractual Clauses may be supplemented with additional technical and organizational measures.

You may request a copy of the appropriate safeguards we have implemented via dataprotectionofficer@daftrucks.com.

We care about protecting the availability, integrity and availability of your personal data. We have implemented security measures to help protect your personal data. For example, we implement access controls, use the appropriate system and network security measures like firewalls, patching, and protect portable devices with appropriate passwords. DAF Trucks N.V. has established an IT Security- and GDPR Framework, associated policies – for example to deal with data breaches – and mandatory standards to protect the confidentiality, availability, and integrity of the assets we use to process your personal data.

Where we process your personal data, you are entitled to a number of rights and can exercise these rights at any point. We have provided an overview of these rights below together with what this entails for you. You can exercise your rights by contacting dataprotectionofficer@daftrucks.com.

PACCAR will respond to your request pertaining to your data protection rights in writing within one month of receipt of your request. Depending on the complexity and the number of requests, PACCAR is entitled to extend this period by two additional months. You shall be informed by PACCAR of any such extension within one month of receipt of the request, together with the reasons for the delay. PACCAR only processes your request to exercise your rights under this clause 7 after we have had the opportunity to identify you properly.

The right to access, correct and receive a copy of your personal data 
We are committed to keep any of your personal data we hold about you is accurate, up to date, complete, relevant and not misleading. In order to ensure we uphold this commitment, you have the right to access, correct or update your personal data at any time. Upon request, we will also provide you with a copy of the personal data we hold from you.

The right to data portability
You are entitled to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format if we have processed your personal data for the following legal grounds:
a)You have given consent to us to process your personal data for a purpose that we have communicated to you beforehand; or
b)We have processed your personal data in order to facilitate a contract with you; or
c)We have processed your personal data using automated means (such as profiling). 

The right to deletion of your personal data 
You have the right to request that we delete your data if:
a)Your personal data is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which we collected it; or
b)You withdraw the consent that you had previously given us to process your personal data, and there is no other legal ground to process that personal data; or
c)You object to us processing your personal data for PACCAR’s legitimate interests; 
d)The personal data is not being processed lawfully;
e)Your personal data needs to be deleted to comply with relevant legal requirements.

If you wish to delete the personal data we hold about you, please let us know by contacting dataprotectionofficer@daftrucks.com and we will take reasonable steps to respond to your request in accordance with legal requirements. If your personal data we process is no longer needed for any purposes (including statistical purposes or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims) and we are not required by law to retain it, we will do what we can to delete, destroy or permanently un-link it to you as a individual.

The right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data if:
a)You do not believe the personal data we have about you is accurate; or
b)The personal data is not being processed lawfully, but instead of deleting the personal data, you would prefer us to restrict processing instead; or
c)We no longer need your personal data for the purposes we collected it for, but you require the data in order to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or 
d)You have objected to the processing of your personal data and are awaiting verification on whether your interests related to that objection outweigh the legitimate grounds for processing your data.

If you wish to restrict our processing of your personal data, please let us know by contacting dataprotectionofficer@daftrucks.com and we will take reasonable steps to respond to your request in accordance with legal requirements.

The right to object or withdraw consent
You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time, if the processing is based on PACCAR’s or a third party’s legitimate interests. Note that these types of requests may be rejected by us if we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms. However, if you object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes we will in principle always terminate the processing. In those situations your rights will virtually always prevail. 

You have the right to withdraw consent for the processing of your personal data at any time, if the processing is based on your consent. Withdrawing your consent means that we are no longer allowed to process your personal data for the processing you consented to. If you wish to withdraw your consent, this will not affect the legitimacy of the data processing prior to that withdrawal. Withdrawal of consent therefore has no retroactive effect.

The right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
You have the right to lodge a complaint directly with the data protection authority about how we process your personal data. Please find a link here with an overview of the relevant authorities or search for ‘[your country] Data Protection Authority’ via a search engine website.
