Sharing of personal data

When necessary, we enter into processing agreements with third parties that handle personal data on our behalf, known as "processors." This ensures that when we share data with these parties, they are obligated to maintain proper security measures and inform us promptly in case of a data breach or suspected data breach.

Additionally, we do not share your personal data with countries outside of the European Economic Area (EEA).

Persons only have access to your personal data if necessary to perform their duties. These include the manager(s), the employees involved in the selection, and the employees of the HR department.

If a security incident occurs despite the security measures taken, we will take the necessary measures to limit the consequences for your privacy as much as possible. If a "data breach" involves your data, we will report this to you and the Personal Data Authority.

• Right to inspect your personal data
• Right to correct your personal data

• Right to restrict processing
