You can make this request free of charge twice per year with a minimum period of 6 months between the two applications. In all other cases, this application is considered to be exaggerated and a hindrance and Boplan Industries BV can charge an amount of €250 per request.

You can ask us to limit the processing of your personal data if you suspect that the data is incorrect, the processing is unlawful or if you do not agree that we are processing the data under our legitimate interest (see article 3.3).

2.5.    Right to lodge an objection

You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data, including profiling.

Always be as specific as possible if you wish to exercise your rights. In this way we can correctly execute your application. 

To prevent someone else from exercising your rights, we will want to verify your identity as thoroughly as possible. Hence, the application always must be accompanied by a document showing that the identity of the applicant matches your identity. This can be done by adding a copy of your identity card to the application. When doing so, black out your passport photo and identity card number (or use a similar process), to protect your privacy.
