This privacy statement concerns the way in which personal data are collected and how they are handled by the Tilburg Orientation Program (TOP) Foundation, as well as the rights of providers of personal data. This privacy statement has been drawn up in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation.
1. Personal data
The TOP Foundation processes personal data based on contracts, permission, and legitimate interest. The TOP Foundation needs personal data to be able to provide its services to participants, TOP Mentors, and TOP Crew in and before TOP Winter Week. The personal data provided by participants and TOP Mentors creating a TOP account, or by TOP Crew completing a digital registration form is used for various purposes.
1.1 Providing information
The TOP Foundation sends participants, TOP Mentors, and TOP Crew information regarding TOP Winter Week by using the personal data provided in the TOP account.
1.2 Creating a WhatsApp group
In the weekend before the start of TOP Winter Week, the TOP Foundation sends names and phone numbers of participants to TOP Mentors so mentors can create a WhatsApp group. Participants are informed of this when they create a TOP account.
1.3 Registration for events
The TOP Foundation uses personal data for the registration of participants, mentors, and TOP Crew to provide access to the events during TOP Winter Week. Creating groups of participants and mentors by means of personal data is also part of the registration process.
1.4 Payment system for events
Personal data are linked to a personal RFID chip that can be used during TOP Week to make payments. The RFID chip is part of a digital, cashless payment system that is used by the TOP Foundation. The cashless payment system isn’t used during TOP Winter Week, so no personal data is linked to a RFID chip during TOP Winter Week.
1.5 The TOP Foundation makes audiovisual recordings during TOP activities for reporting and promotional purposes.
2. Receivers of data
2.1 Tactile B.V.
Tactile B.V. is a company that facilitates the Introcloud application for the TOP Foundation. The TOP Foundation commissions Tactile B.V. to process the personal data of participants, TOP Mentors, and TOP Crew based on a data processing agreement. Every participant, TOP Mentor, and TOP Crew member gets a personal account in the Introcloud web application. Tactile destroys all data when the contract expires.
2.2 3WA Registration system
The personal data provided when creating a TOP account is automatically stored in the 3WA registration system. The TOP Foundation and the administrator of the TOP registration system have access to the personal data stored on the 3WA server.
2.3 SendinBlue
The SendinBlue platform is used to provide participants and TOP Mentors with information via e-mail. SendinBlue has access to the first names and e-mail addresses of participants and TOP Mentors as soon as they are used for sending e-mails. Agreements have been set out on the use of the data in a data processing agreement with SendinBlue.
2.4 Tilburg University
The TOP Foundation and the Marketing and Communication department of Tilburg University send e-mails to new students to promote TOP Winter Week and to recruit participants. To prevent that students who already registered for TOP Winter Week receive these e-mails, the TOP Foundation sends a list of all registrations to the Marketing and Communication department of Tilburg University.
2.5 Study and student associations
The 3WA registration system included an option to get more information about study associations and student associations via the TOP Foundation. If TOP participants explicitly indicate in the 3WA registration system the wish to get more information, their personal data will be shared with the relevant parties. Furthermore, ESN Tilburg, Magister JFT, the MAK Mentorship System and IDEA will have access to the data of the mentors and participants relevant to them. These parties are responsible for the follow-up program after TOP Winter Week.
3. Storage period
Personal data will be stored in the 3WA registration system for a maximum period of five years after the TOP account is created. In this five-year-period, there is the possibility that the TOP account is used by the participant or mentor to reregister.
4. Security
The TOP Foundation does not make any physical copies of personal data. The data are only managed in above-mentioned systems. The personal data and the applications managed by the TOP Foundation are adequately secured.
5. Rights of the data subjects

The TOP Foundation reserves the right to share data if it is legally bound to do so or if the TOP Foundation considers it justified to do so to meet a legal request or to protect the rights, property, or security of the TOP Foundation. In doing so, the TOP Foundation will always try to respect the right to privacy of TOP participants, TOP Mentors, and TOP Crew as much as possible.
