Tonga BV has concluded a processing agreement with Google with regard to Google Analytics. This stipulates that Google only acts as a processor in the processing of the personal data of website visitors. We chose to let Google anonymise IP addresses by masking the last octet of the IP address, so that the full IP address is never stored.

If the data turn out to be factually incorrect, unnecessary or incomplete, you can submit a request for rectification to us; we will then correct, improve, edit or block your data as quickly as possible.

You may also submit a request to delete your data. We then check whether your data must indeed be deleted. We do this on the basis of all applicable privacy legislation. If it appears that you are entitled to this, we will delete your data as soon as possible.

You can also make a request to limit the processing. This means that your personal data will only be stored temporarily, and will not be processed further. You can make such a request, for example, if you believe that we are processing incorrect personal data from you, or you do not want your data to be deleted. We then check whether you are entitled to a limitation of the processing. We do this on the basis of all applicable legislation. If later the possible restriction of personal data is removed by us, you will always be notified of this.
