This Privacy Policy applies to both our website (www.vr-spaces.com) and our Virtual Classroom application, which is a Software as a Service (Saas) platform.

2. Why this Privacy Policy?

The personal data disclosed by the Data Subject enable us to identify the Data Subject as a natural person. The Data Subject is identifiable as soon as it is possible to create a direct or indirect link between one or more information and the Data Subject as a natural person.

We only use and process your personal data in accordance with the GDPR and any replacement legislation, or any similar regulation under any applicable law, and any regulatory requirements or codes of practice governing the use, storage or transmission of personal data. Every reference in this Privacy Statement to the “GDPR” is a reference to the Regulation of 27 April 2016 on the Protection of Natural Persons with regard to the Processing of Personal Data and on the Free Movement of such Data (General Data Protection Regulation).

Through this Privacy Policy, every Data Subject is informed of the processing activities The Amsterdam VR Company may carry out with his/her data. The Amsterdam VR Company reserves the right to modify this Privacy Policy at all times. Every substantial change will be clearly communicated to our customers. We advise however that Data Subjects consult our Privacy Policy regularly.
