With your consent
With your consent, we can pass on your personal data to other parties. Consent is only valid if it is clear what you are giving your consent for and what the consequences are.

For legal reasons
We share personal data if we believe that disclosure of the data is necessary to comply with applicable laws and regulations, legal procedures, or requests from governmental authorities.

Legal Obligation
If a legal obligation requires us to do so, we will provide your personal data. For example, the police may request information from us as part of a fraud investigation. Another example is that the tax inspector can demand all data necessary to collect taxes under article 47 of the General Tax Act.
