Responsible data usage

Collecting, storing and using personal and behavioural data transparently, carefully and fairly.

Every day, we handle enormous amounts of data, which comes with great responsibility. We strive to prevent filter bubbles, and the use of personal data always aligns with the agreements between us and the consumers. We do not sell consumer data and ensure its secure storage.

Launch of privacy.dpgmedia.nl/.be and privacyrechten.dpgmedia.nl/.be. These portals provide consumers with information on how we collect and use data, and allow them to access, modify, or delete their data.

This ensures better privacy protection while potentially enabling significantly improved personalization of services and advertisements. Users can genuinely determine what information can be shared, with whom, when, and for how long, leading to a more tailored experience.
