STVV will not sell your personal data, nor rent it or make it commercially available to third parties (including STVV's commercial partners), unless with your prior consent.

Insofar as you have agreed that we forward your personal data to Pro League nv for its direct marketing purposes, you are aware of the fact that we, together with Pro League nv, will act as 'joint controllers' for this specific processing. This processing consists of the joint controllers sending your personal data to each other, if you have explicitly consented to this (via an opt-in box), via the CRM database. With regard to the rights that you can exercise under the GDPR with regard to this processing (including Article 13 and 14 GDPR), you can contact us to exercise them.

Your personal data may also be sent out of Europe. STVV undertakes to only appoint such controllers and/or processors outside the European Economic Area who offer adequate guarantees for the security and protection of personal data in conformity with applicable privacy legislation. The complete and updated list of decisions on the adequacy of the Protection of Personal Data in third countries by the EU Commission can be consulted at https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/adequacy-decisions_en.

We have developed security measures that are adapted on a technical and organizational level, to prevent the destruction, loss, falsification, modification, unauthorized access or notification by mistake to third parties of personal data as well as any other unauthorized processing of these personal data: for an SSL certificate, the personal data is only accessible for the administrator account, ...

Under no circumstances can STVV be held liable for any direct or indirect damage resulting from incorrect or unlawful use by a third party of the personal data.
