For example, we may transfer your data to services that we often use for events (e.g. Eventbrite) and newsletters (e.g. Mailchimp).
We may also disclose your personal data in the following situations:
- To our affiliates or subsidiaries.
- If we are legally entitled or required to do so (for example, if required to do so by legal proceedings or for the purposes of detection and prevention of fraud and other crime or as part of a security audit).

- If we sell a business or part of a business to another company then the transfer of ownership could include the transfer of your personal data directly related to that business to the purchasing company. We would require from the buyer to treat your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Statement.
- When activities to technically improve or adjust the Datacenterplatform are carried out by a third party.
- To any other third party with your prior permission to do so.
Your personal data may be transferred, stored and processed in the Netherlands or any other country in which Datacenterplatform (or its affiliates, subcontractors or agents) maintain facilities. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated adequately.
We will only process your data within the European Union. Outside the European Union, we will only process your data if that country provides an appropriate level of protection for your data. This means, for example, that we use a model agreement from the European Commission or make agreements on the handling of personal data.
We are familiar with the ruling of the Court of Justice of the EU of 16 July 2020 with implications for the transfer of personal data. We are currently investigating how best to deal with this. We have a very high regard for privacy and are trying to do everything in our power to find an appropriate solution. If we have a suitable solution, we will inform you about this via this Statement. Do you have any questions about the processing of your personal data? Please contact us using the contact details in this Statement.
