**How we work with third party processors**
Waku won’t share your personal data with third parties.
However, Waku may engage (sub) processors that we trust to carry out the
processing of personal data on our behalf. We only provide personal data
to (sub) processors when necessary for them to execute the services they
provide to us. We’ve established contractual agreements with all our
(sub) processors ensuring that they may only process the personal data
collected and processed by us within the scope of the contractual
agreement and under no circumstances for other purposes.
As Data Controller: Waku may use (sub) processors to assist us in our
services provided as data controller. Our use of processors is under
contractual agreement and in accordance with privacy legislation.
As Data Processor: Waku may also use sub-processors to assist us in our
services. Our use of sub-processors is under contractual agreement and
in accordance with privacy legislation.

**Exporting data outside the European Union**
Waku may transmit personal data to parties outside the European Union,
if one of our (sub) processors is established outside the European
Union. Personal data will only be processed in countries or by parties
that provide an adequate level of protection in accordance with European
standards. The transmission of data outside the European Union will
always happen in conformity with privacy legislation.

Waku protects the personal data we process from unauthorized and
unlawful access, change, disclosure, use, and destruction. For example,
we take the following technical and organizational security:
We encrypt many of our services using SSL and other security measures.
We review our information collection, storage, and processing practices
and handbooks, from time to time, to guard our systems against
unauthorized access.
We restrict access to personal data to our contributors and all other
parties we work with on a need-to-know basis, subject to strict
contractual confidentiality obligations.
We perform periodic internal security audits.

Your choices and rights
As explained throughout this Privacy Policy, Waku collects very little
information about our users. As a result, it might be difficult to
verify whether a request regarding privacy rights has actually been
submitted by the person concerned.
As laid out in relevant privacy legislation, you have the right to:
- Ask us to correct or update your personal data (where possible);
- Ask us to remove your personal data from our systems;
- Ask us for a copy of your Data processed, which may also be
transferred to another data controller at your request;
- Withdraw your consent to process your personal data (only if consent
was asked for a processing activity), which only affects processing
activities that are based on your consent and doesn’t affect the
validity of such processing activities before you have withdrawn
your consent;
- Object to the processing of your personal data;
- File a complaint with the Federal Data Protection and Information
Commissioner (FDPIC), if you believe that your personal data has
been processed unlawfully.
