Level27 follows the client’s instructions and may not process this personal data in any way without the prior written consent of the client. Concrete agreements and policies will be laid down in a processing agreement complete with appendices.

Level27 will not share the client’s personal data with third parties and will only provide this information if it is strictly necessary for the execution of its services or to comply with the law.

ISO CERTIFICATION

Level27 obtained ISO27001 certification and ISO9001 certification in September 2017. Without elaborating on the details of the ISO implementation, this offers an extra certainty for clients that the supplier, as a processor, approaches all aspects of the service with care. ISO9001 offers the additional guarantee that the supplier, as a processor, has incorporated this quality awareness into its corporate DNA. ISO27001 pertains obvious elements such as physical security, workstations and employee access to systems. It also clearly describes how the supplier handles encryption, data security and firewalling.

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

All databases, designs, process descriptions, market surveys and other business-specific data deemed confidential by the client will be treated by Level27 as confidential data owned by the client.
Both the client and Level27 undertake to keep all sensitive information acquired in the context of the negotiations and the execution of the agreement confident, both during and after the execution of the agreement.
The client undertakes to impose the same confidentiality obligation on its employees and appointees that are granted access to Level27 software and/or other confidential information.
Unless agreed otherwise, Level27 retains the right to use the client's works council or the work carried out on behalf of the client as a reference for professional purposes.
