External websites

Our website may contain links to third party websites. This privacy notice doesn’t cover how organisations that own the external websites process your personal data. We encourage you to read the privacy notices on the other websites you visit.

For example, we deliberately decided against the use of social media plugins. This means that when you visit our website, there is no automatic transmission of your user data to the social network servers such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or similar. Instead of the social media plugins we have decided on mere hyperlinks, so that your personal data is not passed on in advance to the social media services.

If you wish, you can connect to social networks like Facebook, Twitter or Instagram via our website. However, this only happens if you consciously click on this link.
