Privacy statement for third-party services

Johan uses a number of services from external parties. We may share (some of) your personal data with one or more of these suppliers. Our starting point is that these suppliers must be demonstrably compliant with the AVG and have a security policy that meets strict standards, such as the ISO 2700x series.

We enter into a processor agreement with all these suppliers. This guarantees you, the user, that your personal data is processed in accordance with the AVG, the General Data Protection Regulation.

We periodically audit our suppliers for their security and privacy policies.
