LEGAL

Privacy Policy

How Dquadrant collects, uses, and protects Personal Data under Regulation (EU) 2016/679 — the General Data Protection Regulation. Dquadrant is established in the European Union, so this policy is drafted for GDPR compliance, not as a US-style opt-out notice.

DATA CONTROLLER

Dquadrant B.V.

JURISDICTION

The Netherlands, EU

GOVERNING LAW

Regulation (EU) 2016/679

LAST UPDATED

20 August 2026

Types of Personal Data we collect

Depending on how you interact with the site, we may collect:

Unless stated otherwise at the point of collection, providing this Data is necessary for us to deliver the relevant feature — we cannot respond to a request without an email address, for example. Where Data is optional, this is indicated at collection, and declining has no negative consequence. If you submit a third party's Personal Data to us, you confirm you're authorized to do so.

Legal basis & retention

As an EU-based controller, Dquadrant relies exclusively on the legal bases set out in Article 6(1) GDPR — never on an "opt-out" model. Data is retained only for as long as needed to deliver the relevant part of the Service; the only exception is where the law requires us to keep specific records for longer (e.g. Dutch tax law).

PurposePersonal DataLegal basisRetention

Legal complianceAny of the above, where relevantArt. 6(1)(c) — legal obligationAs required by the applicable law

We do not keep Personal Data for a longer, indefinite, or precautionary period. Once a purpose is fulfilled and no legal retention obligation applies, the Data is deleted or anonymized.

Third parties that process Data on our behalf

We use a small, deliberately limited set of processors to run the site, each under a data processing agreement — including Standard Contractual Clauses where Data leaves the EEA. Rather than making you ask, we link each processor's own data processing addendum directly below wherever the vendor publishes one.

International data transfers

Some processors are based in, or process Data in, the United States — outside the EEA. Where this occurs, we rely on appropriate safeguards, in particular the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses, as permitted under Chapter V GDPR. We linked each processor's own data processing addendum directly in the table above rather than asking you to request it.

Security measures

We take appropriate technical and organizational measures against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction of Data, consistent with Article 32 GDPR. Access within Dquadrant is limited to personnel who need it to perform their role.
