These service providers may, if applicable, have access to your personal data to provide these services for us. In this context, we require our service providers to implement and maintain security measures to ensure the confidentiality and security of your data that you entrust us with. These service providers are primarily based and process your personal data in The Netherlands, the EU, or the EEA. In some cases, it is possible that our service providers also process and store your data outside the EU or the EEA and, consequently in countries that do not have the same level of data protection as countries in the EU or EEA.
Other transfers
In addition to this, and if applicable, we communicate personal data to the authorities, financial, tax or legal advisers, or other third parties, providing that we have a legal obligation to do this or this is legally permissible to protect our rights or the rights of third parties, to prevent damage to property or injuries to persons, to combat fraud or to assert the conditions of use of the Mistral website.

Mistral acknowledges that the European Union and The Netherlands have established a comprehensive data protection system in accordance with the European Data Protection Directive (95/46/EG) and the Dutch Federal Data Protection Act (together, the “Data Protection Act”). The Data Protection Act restricts the transfer of personal data to recipients who are residents outside the EU or the EEC.
As it is possible that the recipients listed above may also be residents outside the EU or the EEA, Mistral will take all necessary measures, where these are necessary, to ensure that the personal data is appropriately protected, such as through EU standard contractual clauses or decisions of the European Commission that the state in which the recipient is resident offers an appropriate level of data protection or other appropriate protective measures to safeguard such data transfer.
5. What rights do you have, and where can you assert these?
Where you have consented to collecting, processing and using your data, you can withdraw your consent at any time to take effect in the future.
