You may request a copy of the applicable transfer safeguards by contacting us.
We retain personal data no longer than necessary for the purposes described above, in line with the Dutch principle of storage limitation (Article 5(1)(e) AVG):

As a data subject, you have the following rights under Articles 15–22 AVG:
To exercise any of these rights, email ask@strongoliving.world with the subject line "AVG Rights Request". We will respond within one month as required by Article 12 AVG. This period may be extended by two further months for complex requests; we will inform you of any extension.

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures (Article 32 AVG) to protect your data, including:
In the event of a personal data breach likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, as required by Article 33 AVG. Where the breach is likely to result in a high risk to you, we will also inform you without undue delay under Article 34 AVG.
We do not send unsolicited commercial electronic communications. Under the Telecommunicatiewet and the Dutch implementation of the ePrivacy rules, marketing emails require your prior, explicit opt-in consent. You may unsubscribe from any marketing communication at any time using the unsubscribe link or by contacting us directly.
