We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
5. International Data Transfers
Where we transfer personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA), we do so only where appropriate safeguards are in place, such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses, an adequacy decision, or the EU–US Data Privacy Framework. You can request details of these safeguards by contacting us.
6. Data Retention
- Account & programme data: retained for the duration of your subscription plus 2 years after account closure (to handle potential disputes or re-subscriptions), then securely deleted or anonymised.
- Payment records: retained for 7 years to comply with Dutch tax and accounting law (Belastingdienst requirements).
