Purpose of gathering

The Neys-van Hoogstraten was founded in 1989 as a foundation by the late Dr. Karel Neys.

The main objective of the Neys-van Hoogstraten Foundation (NHF) is to strengthen and stimulate socio-economic research in the field of household budgets, family nutrition, and food and nutrition security in Indonesia and other (Southeast) Asian countries. By providing financial support for research in these fields, the Neys-van Hoogstraten Foundation aims at enhancing the quality and quantity of research on the topics listed above. The Neys-van Hoogstraten Foundation also makes available fellowships for research by master students.

Within the framework of these activities we gather, process, use and in some cases transfer personal data for the purpose of obtaining, implementing and invoicing contracts and commissions. At the Neys-van Hoogstraten External secretariat (see address in footer) data are gathered, processed, used and transferred within the Board.

In the performance of its business activities, NHF gathers, processes and uses addresses, contractual and payment data and electronic communication data relating to clients, contractors and others (such as researchers and PhD-students).

Data can be shared with responsible administrative officers within NHF (e.g. the Treasurer). For human resources management purposes, data may be shared with individuals (e.g. the Technical Commission) that are involved in the relevant projects. As a general principle, data will not be transmitted to third parties, except in exceptional legal circumstances.
