Access

Some employees of Blueteesgolf.co.uk need access to your personal data, for example to ship your order.

Employees only have access to your data when strictly necessary. Furthermore, all your data is well secured. Passwords are encrypted and therefore not visible to employees or third parties and all our systems have access control. Any test environments of our systems do not contain personal data.

 We have a number of partners with whom we work. For example, we send our packages via mail carriers (including DHL, PostNL) and the payment or refund of your order is processed by payment processors (banks or credit card companies).

 We also have a number of other parties with whom we collaborate, such as IT suppliers, accountants and marketing partners. To ensure that your data is in safe hands with these parties, we have so-called "processor agreements". In these processing agreements we specify the purpose of processing your data and make arrangements regarding, for example, the retention period of your data. Until a processing agreement is signed, a partner will not receive any personal data from us. This is to ensure that your data is not disclosed or used for purposes for which you have not given permission.
