Service providers
We rely on trusted service providers to process data on our behalf. These may include website and cloud hosting providers, and Meta and WhatsApp when we message applicants.

Legal basis & consent
We process your personal information on the basis of your consent when you submit an application, and where necessary to take steps at your request before entering into a collaboration. Where processing is necessary for our legitimate interests (such as preventing abuse or operating recruitment), we rely on that basis. You may withdraw consent at any time by contacting us.
Data retention
We keep your application information only for as long as needed to evaluate your application, contact you about it, and meet legal or record-keeping obligations. Applications that are not accepted or that you ask us to delete are removed within a reasonable period.
International processing
Your information may be processed in countries other than your own, including by our service providers. Where this occurs, we take appropriate measures to help ensure your data receives a comparable level of protection.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information, including restricted access for authorised team members. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to protect your data.
Your rights
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information at any time. To make a request, contact us at sem@medusamodeling.nl. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe.
Deletion requests
If you would like your application and associated photos removed from our systems, you can request deletion by contacting us at the email above. We will delete your data unless we are required to retain it for legal reasons.
