Inclusion in a repository doesn't mean the copyright in the publication is lost and doesn't automatically put it in the public domain. Third parties who want to use your work must obtain your permission, unless one of the exceptions permitted by the Dutch Copyright Act applies (such as quoting or copying a work for one's own use). Many universities of applied sciences ask students for their permission to be included in the HBO Kennisbank.

No, a natural person may make a copy to study, use or practise the content themselves, but they must not hand over this article to any third parties without the rightsholder's permission. This is a form of reproduction, a right that rests solely with the copyright holder.

This depends entirely on the options offered by the copyright holder.Including a publication on a website is a form of disclosure and reproduction, which only the copyright holder is allowed to do. Much will depend on the terms and conditions of use the copyright holder offers to the actual author(s) or on the publication's licensing terms and conditions. More information Sherpa Romeo

Yes, as long as the copyrights have not (already) been assigned or belong to another party (such as the employer). Sending a preprint by email is a form of disclosure, which only the copyright holder is allowed to do.

If you have written a publication, you automatically have copyright in it. You don't need to do anything else for this: no registration or referencing is required. This copyright gives the rightsholder control over the publication. The copyright holder has the sole right to bring their article or book to the public’s attention in any way, either on paper or electronically. These are the so-called exploitation rights. You can assign the exploitation rights to another party, for example a publisher, by means of a contract. You can set conditions, for example 'only for this magazine' or 'only for paper editions'...
