SHARE AND RELEASE OF PERSONAL DATA
Group companies
Companies within the Misset Publishing group can gain access to your data based on Misset Publishing’s legitimate interest in efficient and effective operations. All companies within the Misset Publishing group will provide you with the same level of protection. Your data may be used by companies belonging to the Misset Publishing group for, among other things, the execution of the agreement(s) with you and for the development of (targeted) marketing activities in order to maintain a relationship with you.

Processors
For the execution of our services we can use services from third parties, for example technical service providers and delivery services. These third parties act as processors for Misset Publishing. Misset Publishing ensures that these parties offer sufficient guarantees with regard to the application of technical and organisational measures. Misset Publishing has entered into a processor agreement with each of these parties which states, among other things, that they only process personal data on behalf of Misset Publishing.

Partners
Misset Publishing can collaborate with partners, for example in the context of providing services, a competition or a promotion.

Other
For the rest, Misset Publishing will only provide personal data to third parties with your explicit consent or if it is obliged to do so by virtue of laws and regulations, or if it is obliged to do so as a result of a lawsuit and/or it deems this to be necessary for protection of its own interests.

SECURITY
We do our utmost best to take appropriate technical and organisational security measures to prevent unauthorised access to, adaptation, disclosure or loss of, personal data. For example, we use a firewall and we have taken encryption measures to prevent unauthorised third parties gaining access to data. Subscriber data is stored at locations that are both physically and technically secure. Only a limited group of employees has access to the subscriber data on the basis of their job profiles, and these employees are subject to confidentiality obligations.
