Where is your data stored?

Company securely stores your data at Belgian and North American data centers. Colleagues located outside the European Union will be able to add, consult, and adapt the personal data.

The data protection and other laws of these countries may not be as comprehensive as those in the European Union − in these instances, we rely on legally-provided mechanisms to lawfully transfer data across borders. You hereby consent to the transfer of your personal data to countries outside the European Union.
