Measures

Privacy (GDPR)

  • Transparency: our privacy policy describes which data we use and why.
  • We do not sell personal data.
  • You can exercise your GDPR rights, such as access, correction and deletion, via info+dpo@certificeerwijzer.nl.
  • We keep a record of processing activities for what we do with personal data.
  • Data processing agreements apply to our sub-processors, see the table below.
  • We only share your request with providers once you agree in the last step of the request.
  • Data breaches: we record and investigate every incident. Where personal data is involved, we always assess whether we must report it to the Dutch Data Protection Authority, and if so, we do so within 72 hours.
  • Transfers outside the EU only take place with safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses and the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.
