4. SHARING OF PERSONAL DATA
4.1 We may share your personal data with certain selected subcontractors (third parties) as needed to provide our services and perform our contractual obligations towards you, when personal data needs to be processed on behalf of us. For example, subcontractors may need to process personal data to supply accounting services or IT-maintenance, hosting and support.
4.2 Subcontractors used to process data are limited by law or contract from using the personal data for purposes beyond those for which the personal data is shared. We take all reasonable legal, technical, and organizational measures to ensure that your personal data is treated securely and with an adequate level of protection when transferred to or shared with such selected third parties.
4.3 Some of the subcontractors we share your personal data with may be located outside the EU/EEA (in a third country). Depending on which part of our services you use, your personal data may be transferred to a third country. When doing so, we are committed to protect your data and comply with applicable data protection laws and will therefore evaluate potential risks and, where needed, put in place adequate safeguards to protect your personal data, such as the EU Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. Also, data may be shared with a subcontractor in a third country where the EU Commission has announced a decision declaring that the country has an adequate level of protection according to the GDPR.
4.4 If we are required by law or you have agreed to it, we will disclose necessary personal data to authorities such as the police, tax agencies or other authorities. An example of legally required sharing is for the purposes of anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing.
4.5 If you sign-up for e-mail marketing, e.g., for our newsletters, events or webinars or use the form to “contact us”, we will use the personal data you provide (normally e-mail address, but in some cases also telephone number, company and title), to send personalized offers, marketing, product news etc. The legal base for this is consent. You can withdraw your consent and unsubscribe from such marketing by using the unsubscribe link in the e-mail or by contacting us via the contact details below. If you sign up for email marketing in campaigns that we run in collaboration with our selected trusted partners, we reserve the right to share your personal data (normally e-mail address, job title and company) with the trusted partner to use for their marketing purposes.
4.6 In the event that we sell or buy any business or assets, we may disclose your personal data to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets. If we or substantially all of our assets are acquired by a third party, personal data about our customers may be disclosed and transferred.
