A copy or scan of the identity document is made at the time when an employee is employed by Bolk.

The copies of the IDs we process are further used for inspections by Dutch Government officials on official duty.

Bolk is foremost a business – to – business company and therefore delivers products and services to companies rather than consumers.

We collect (personal) information that you have provided to us in the context of supplying those products and services and provide you with the best possible information about our products and services we offer to you.
