Data We Transfer to Third Parties
We try to limit what we tell other companies.
We host practicedrawingthis.com on a dedicated server at ixlhosting.nl. In practical terms, the employees have physical access to that server, and they may have access to the contents on the harddisks, and they may make backups of the system. However, ixlhosting stipulate in their
terms of use, article 19.2 that they will not look at our data unless they are required to by law.
We don't share your information with anyone, but your data may pass through other systems and countries.
We are based in the Netherlands. Although you may access practicedrawingthis.com from a location outside of the Netherlands, any data collected in connection with practicedrawingthis.com may be transferred to, processed, and stored within the Netherlands. The Netherlands may not have the same data protection framework as the country in which you may be using practicedrawingthis.com. When we transfer your data to the Netherlands, we will treat you personal data in accordance with the requirements of the European Union Privacy laws.
Data Retention and Security
We do our best to keep information about you as safe as possible.
We maintain appropriate administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect personal data against loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. We use Secure Sockets Layer encryption for the transmission all data. When sensitive data is involved, we encrypt it. We keep the data retained to a minimum, and we have backup systems in place to guard against data loss. Permissions on the server are carefully managed using the principle of least privilege. Care has been taken to avoid buffer overruns and malicious code injection.
Keeping a server secure is an on-going process as ways of compromising servers also evolve and practicedrawingthis.com is committed to stay ahead of any potential security issues.
