Article 3 - How we share your data with third parties

If we ever cease 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, Hermie Online BV will always inform you in advance to the extent possible, but you understand that this is not technically or commercially feasible in all circumstances.

In rare cases, we may be required to disclose Personal Data on the basis of a court order or to comply with other mandatory laws or regulations. We will try to inform you in advance to the best of our ability, unless we cannot do so for legal reasons.

We sometimes share your data with third parties whose services we use as part of your ordering process and order. Your data may be transferred to and processed by software and cloud providers, financial partners, logistics partners or any other third party that is party to or plays a role in your order. The current list can be obtained upon simple request by email. We ensure appropriate security measures with regard to your personal data in each transfer to third parties, including by entering into processor 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 need to use non-European third parties, we will ensure that your data is as safe outside Europe as it is here in Europe. Where necessary, we conclude Standard Contractual Clauses with these partners and provide additional safeguards.

At the bottom of our privacy policy you will find a list of the different companies we may share your personal data with.

Article 4 - How long do we keep your Personal Data?

We bewaren je Persoonsgegevens zolang dit noodzakelijk is in functie van de doeleinden van elke verwerking.

You have the right to oppose the processing of your Personal Data if you have serious and legitimate reasons to do so that override our need to process your data or to withdraw a previously given consent.
