Regarding the sending of emails concerning VCC Live Academy, we use the service provided by HubSpot (HubSpot Ireland Limited, address: 662880, Two Dockland Central, Guild Street Dublin 1, Ireland, https://www.hubspot.com/ , https://legal.hubspot.com/product-privacy-policy ), and thus they qualify as a data processor. As part of the service provided by HubSpot, personal data may be transferred to the USA. Based on the relevant legislation, the transfer of data to this third country is suitably guaranteed by the fact that VCC Live has entered into standard contractual clauses with this service provider. Data processed by HubSpot: first name, surname, work email address.

We also use the service provided by Thinkific (Thinkific Inc., British Columbia company with offices at 369 Terminal Ave, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6A 4C4, Canada, https://www.thinkific.com/privacy-policy/) to send email concerning VCC Live Academy, and also use them as a software platform to deliver our online courses. Thus, they also qualify as a data processor. As part of the service provided by Thinkific, personal data may be transferred to Canada.
