We will only disclose your personal data to persons authorised to this end employed by Vastint on a need-to-know basis or to persons authorised to this end employed by or working on behalf of our affiliates and data processors involved by Vastint, on a need-to-know basis.

An example of this is the service provider who takes care of the hosting and maintenance of our website. Data processors may only process your personal data on our behalf and in accordance with our instructions. We conclude appropriate data processing agreements with every data processor for this purpose.

Outside the situations mentioned in this Privacy Statement, we will not disclose your personal data to others, unless we deem it necessary to comply with our legal obligations, to protect our or other people’s rights, or to enforce compliance with this Privacy Statement.

The recipients may be established in countries outside the European Economic Area (EOA). The legislation on data protection and other relevant legislation in such countries is not necessarily the same as the legislation in the Netherlands. However, we have taken appropriate safeguards to transfer your personal data to a country located outside the EEA.
