Privacy Statement Collaborating with Achmea

Your data in safe hands

Are you using the Microsoft Office 365 environment of Achmea B.V. as an employee, external worker or external user? Then we need some of your personal details. We think it is important that you know what we do with your personal data and what your rights are. This way you can rest assured that your data are in good hands with us.

The Privacy Policy and procedures as described on Achmeanet apply to employees and external workers of Achmea. The Privacy statement below applies specifically to external users of Achmea's Microsoft 365 environment.

What data do we use?

Usually we ask for your name (first and last name) and e-mail address. Sometimes we also ask for other information such as your telephone number or you may choose to add a photo. We use this personal data so that you – as an external user – can collaborate with people within Achmea B.V. on the Microsoft Office 365 environment. If you add a photo yourself in the Microsoft Office 365 environment, it will be visible to other participants. We will not use your photo in any other way.

Achmea and Microsoft also process data about the use of Microsoft Office 365, such as log data and metrics.

What do we use your data for?

We use your data to:

  • Create your guest account;
  • Be able to identify you, for authentication and authorization purposes;
  • Register access information;
  • Manage facility and IT processes;
  • Analyze external use of Microsoft Office 365 for improvement purposes;
  • Comply with the law;
  • Carry out internal auditing and business security checks;
  • Handle (legal) complaints and support tickets.

Achmea B.V. is responsible

Our IT systems are well secured. And we continually take measures to prevent misuse of your data. In addition, our employees have also received clear instructions on how to handle personal data.

We are extra careful with sensitive data

By sensitive data we mean, for example, personal data showing your racial or ethnic origin.

How long do we keep your data?
