What About Security of Data Transmission?

We use technical and organizational measures to protect the personal information that we collect and process about you. The measures we use are intended to provide a level of security appropriate to the risk of processing your personal information.

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, DG Supply BV cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us or from our products or services.

International Data Transfers

Your personal information may be transferred to, and processed in, countries other than the country in which you are resident. These countries may have data protection laws that are different from the laws of your country.

Specifically, our Website servers are located in the Netherlands, but our group companies and third party service providers and partners may operate around the world. This means that when we collect your personal information we may process it in different countries.

However, we have taken legal safeguards, including implementing the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses for transfers of personal information between our group companies, which require all group companies to protect personal information they process from the EEA in accordance with the European Union data protection law.

Further details about the Standard Contractual Clauses we have implemented or the safeguards we have adopted with our third party service providers and partners and further details will be provided upon request.

In the circumstances where you have consented to the collection and processing of your personal information, you can withdraw your consent at any time.  Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing we conducted prior to your withdrawal.  Additionally, if the information was collected for another reason (e.g., to perform a contractual obligation, for legitimate business interests that are not outweighed by your data protection interests or for another legally permissible purpose), the withdrawal of your consent will be effective when such purpose no longer exists.

You have the right to file a complaint with a data protection authority about our collection and use of your personal information.  For more information, please contact your local data protection authority.
