Personal data is data that says something about you or data that can be associated with you. Everything that can be done with your personal data, for example the collection, storage, use, transfer or deletion of your data, is called 'processing' of personal data. We process personal data that you provide to us yourself, for example by sending a request to join our online community, creating an account on our website, or by registering for our events. These are contact details and other personal data.

A cookie is a small text file that is stored on your computer, tablet or smartphone when you visit this website for the first time. The functional cookies that we use are necessary for the technical operation of our website and your own convenience. The cookies ensure that the website works properly and remember, for example, your preferences.
We also make use of analytical cookies, for example Google Analytics. We use these cookies to analyse the behaviour of visitors to our website. This enables us to analyse the website. All information we collect through, for example Google Analytics, is anonymised and cannot be traced back to you. For more information about what Google exactly does with the collected data, we refer to the privacy statements of Google. This statement can change regularly.
We also use marketing and tracking cookies. We collaborate with third parties to display advertisements on our website or to manage our advertisements on other sites. These third parties may use technologies such as cookies to collect information about your activities on this website and other websites to provide you with advertising based on your browsing activities and interests.
You can opt out of cookies by configuring your internet browser so that it does not store cookies anymore. In addition, you can delete all information previously stored using your browser settings.
How do we handle your personal data?
the D2 collective takes the protection of your data very seriously and takes appropriate measures to prevent misuse, loss, unauthorised access, unwanted disclosure and unauthorised modification of your data. We have taken measures to secure your personal data and to prevent misuse. For example, we ensure that the system in which we store your personal data is secure. We consistently update and patch our systems, ensuring that potential vulnerabilities are promptly addressed. Our commitment to open standards means we avoid proprietary technology, providing you with transparent and accessible services.
Our servers are located in the EU. If you access our platform from outside the EU, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed by us in our facilities and by third parties with whom we may share your personal data in other countries.
We use Hivebrite as our hostingpartner. Our hosting partner provides the infrastructure and technical
support to store, manage, and maintain our website, ensuring its accessibility and security. Our hostingpartner has the ISO 27001 certification (demonstrates that an organisation follows international best practices for information security management).
If you believe that your data is not properly secured or there is evidence of abuse, please contact our service department or send an e-mail to hello@thed2collective.com.
Processing outside the EEA
If you are a resident in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom (UK), or Switzerland, the transfer of data to a third country may occur, but we emphasize that such transfers will only take place if that country ensures an adequate level of security. We strive to collaborate with our partners in a manner that prioritizes data protection, and two examples of the mechanisms we employ are adequacy decisions and Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC’s).
Do we share your personal data with third parties?
The approach of the D2 collective is designed to minimize the sharing of information with third parties as much as possible.
We may share your data with third-parties, such as companies we organize the event for or the hosting location, or others who perform services for us or on our behalf and require access to such information to do that work. We have contracts in place with our third parties, which are designed to help safeguard your personal data. This means that they cannot do anything with your personal data unless we have instructed them to do it. They will also not share your personal data with any organisation apart from us. They also commit to protect the data they hold on our behalf and to retain it for the period we instruct.
View or modify your personal data?
Do you want to know which personal data we have documented about you? You have the right to request an overview of the personal data that the D2 collective has processed or is processing about you.
If you find that your personal data is processed incorrectly or incompletely or you do not find it necessary that certain personal data are processed, you can submit a request for modification, supplementation or removal to the D2 collective. Furthermore, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data and you have the right to data transfer. In addition, you have the right to withdraw a granted consent for the processing of your personal data. This is for example the case when you receive our newsletter.
If you send us such a request, we will inform you as soon as possible, but in any case within 4 weeks after receipt of your request, about the actions we have taken.
For questions or complaints about the processing of personal data by the D2 collective you can send an e-mail to hello@thed2collective.com.

In certain circumstances, you may also have the right to object to the processing of your personal data.
