What is personal data? Personal data is any data that allows us to recognise you, directly or indirectly. With your name or national registry number we immediately (directly) know it is you, but also with a combination of your address, age and gender (indirectly) we can recognise you. Therefore, these too are personal data. Personal data is therefore any data that we can somehow link to you, such as your e-mail address, your phone number or even your IP address (the Internet address of your computer). What is that General Data Protection Regulation? That 'AVG' is simply the new European privacy law. Previously, the 'Act of 8 December 1992 on the protection of privacy with regard to the processing of personal data', much better known as the 'Privacy Act', protected your personal data. Since 25 May 2018, that old privacy law has been replaced by a new European privacy law. The media often use the English-language name: GDPR or in full General Data Protection Regulation. In Dutch, it is AVG or General Data Protection Regulation. So that legislation still deals with the 'processing' of personal data.

Smoobu is our main data processor. Other companies and organisations may also process data on our behalf. We make strict agreements with all such processors to ensure they use the same high privacy standards. We will never simply forward or disclose your personal data to others. We will only do so if you give us permission in advance or if there is a law that obliges us to do so. We then have a clear legal basis. Legal basis to 'lawfully' process personal data.
