  5. PERSONAL DATA OF THIRD PARTIES
 

If you disclose any personal data of third parties to us, you guarantee that you have informed those third parties and you have received all necessary consents to communicate the third parties’ personal data to QustomDot.

 

  6. COOKIES

Our Website and Web Shop use cookies and similar technologies. For more information, we refer to our cookie policy.

 

  7. DISCLOSURES OF PERSONAL DATA

 

QustomDot may share your personal data, as required for the purposes set forth in section 4, with:

• third-party service providers (such as (IT) service providers, security providers, suppliers, communication and other software providers or hosting providers);

• professional advisers (such as lawyers or auditors);

• affiliated entities; and

• third parties to whom we intend or choose to sell, transfer or merge (parts of) our shares, business or assets.

 

Upon request, QustomDot shall, as soon as possible after the request, inform you of the third parties with whom your personal data have been shared by providing you a more detailed list.

 

In addition, we may disclose your personal information if required by law, or if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to comply with a judicial investigation, court order or to defend or safeguard our rights.

 

Processors and sub-processors of QustomDot always act under the responsibility of QustomDot. If QustomDot engages (sub-)processors, this will always be done in accordance with a data processing agreement that meets the requirements of the GDPR. We require all our (sub-)processors to take appropriate technical and organizational (including security) measures to protect your personal data. In the event we disclose your personal data as described above, we will implement appropriate safeguards to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of your personal data.

 

Your personal data will only be made available to (sub-)processors, employees and other third parties on a “need-to-know” basis, limited to the extent necessary to perform their services.

 

  8. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS
 

In principle, QustomDot does not transfer your personal data to third countries located outside the European Economic Area ("EEA") unless you are located outside the EEA and are visiting our Website or Web Shop from outside the EEA. It is possible that QustomDot -through its (sub-)processors- does transfer your personal data to countries outside the EEA. In this event, QustomDot will only transfer your personal data outside the EEA in accordance with the applicable data protection legislation and subject to appropriate safeguards.

 

Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism(s) used when transferring personal data outside the EEA.

 

  9. DIRECT MARKETING

 

QustomDot may use your personal data for direct marketing purposes (including profiling). This enables QustomDot to keep you informed about its products, updates, events, etc. You give your explicit consent for this, but you may at any time, free of charge, withdraw your consent and object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes (including profiling), to the extent that it relates to such direct marketing.

 

You shall have the right at any time to object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes (including profiling) to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing, free of charge, by sending an email to: info@qustomdot.com.

 

  10. DATA SECURITY

 

QustomDot is committed to trying to make sure that your personal data is secure and makes all reasonable and appropriate efforts to protect your personal data. We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational measures, safeguards, and assurances to process your personal data in accordance with the GDPR, in particular to protect your personal data against loss, misuse, or unauthorized alteration or destruction.

 

Please contact us if you would like more information on the specific measures taken.

 

Despite the above measures taken by us, you should be aware that there are always risks associated with sending personal data over the internet. The security and protection of your personal data can never be fully guaranteed, nor can we guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat those measures or use your personal data for improper purposes.

 

  11. DATA RETENTION

 

We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes determined in section 4 of this privacy policy, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.

 

Afterwards it is still possible that your personal data can be found in our back-ups or archives, but they will no longer be actively processed in a file. Such back-ups or archives will be deleted automatically in accordance with our back-up and archiving policies.

 

The applicable retention periods are set out in the table under section 4.

  13. RIGHT TO LODGE A COMPLAINT WITH A SUPERVISORY AUTHORITY

 

If and to the extent provided for in the applicable data protection legislation, you have the right to file a complaint with the competent supervisory authority if you consider that our processing of your personal data violates the applicable regulations.

  15. LIABILTY

 

If QustomDot has legitimately transmitted your personal data to a third party (not being its (sub-)processor), QustomDot shall not be liable for any unlawful processing or unlawful use by that third party.

 

QustomDot is in any case only liable for the damage caused by the processing of personal data if it did not comply with its specific obligations under the GDPR and QustomDot’s liability shall not exceed an amount equal to the amounts actually paid out by our insurer for the damage causing event. QustomDot shall in no event be liable for any special, incidental, indirect, or consequential losses or damages.
