About the data processing
Below you can read how we process your data, where we store it, what security techniques we use and to whom the data can be viewed.
Webhosting – snel.com
We purchase web hosting services from snel.com. Snel.com processes personal information on our behalf and does not use your information for its own purposes. However, this party may collect metadata about the use of the services. This is not personal data. Snel.com has appropriate technical and organizational measures to prevent loss and unauthorized use of your personal data. Snel.com is bound by confidentiality under the agreement.
Email and mailing lists – MailChimp
We send our email newsletters using MailChimp. MailChimp will never use your name and email address for its own purposes. At the bottom of every email sent automatically through our website, you will see the ‘unsubscribe’ link. You will then no longer receive our newsletter. Your personal data is stored securely by MailChimp. MailChimp uses cookies and other internet technologies that provide insight into whether emails are opened and read. MailChimp reserves the right to use your data for the further improvement of its services and to share information with third parties in connection therewith.
Retention period
USAC does not store personal data longer than necessary for the purpose for which it was provided or required by law.
Security
We have taken appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data about you from unlawful processing.

If we want to change our policy around privacy, it will be communicated to you by updating this page. If your personal data is processed in a different way than it was at the time you provided your personal data, we will let you know via e-mail. In all other cases, we will process your personal data in line with the purpose of the provision and in line with the privacy policy at the time of provision.
