Article 3 – How we share your data with third parties

If we ever stop or transfer our activities to someone else, for example because we go bankrupt or sell our activities, this may mean that your personal data will be transferred to third parties who will take over all or part of our activities. In that case, AQT Now bv will always inform you in advance as far as possible, but you understand that this is not technically or commercially feasible under all circumstances.

In rare cases, we may be required to disclose personal data based on a court order or to comply with other mandatory laws or regulations. We try to inform you in advance to the best of our ability, unless this is not possible for legal reasons.

We sometimes share your information with third parties whose services we use in the context of your ordering process and order. Your data may be passed on to and processed by software and cloud suppliers, financial partners, logistics partners or any other third party that is a party to or plays a role in your order. The current list can be obtained on simple request by e-mail. With every transfer to third parties, we ensure appropriate security measures with regard to your personal data, including by concluding processing agreements where necessary.

We always try to make maximum use of European suppliers and try to keep your data within Europe whenever possible. If we do have to call on non-European third parties, we will ensure that your data is just as safe outside Europe as it is here in Europe. For example, where necessary, we conclude Standard Contractual Clauses with these partners and provide additional guarantees.
