Your data is yours: privacy and GDPR for your admin

Your admin holds sensitive information: your revenue, your clients, your invoices. It's natural to want to know what happens to that data when you use an online tool. Here's how it works β€” and what your rights are.

What does the GDPR say?

The GDPR (in Dutch: AVG) is the European privacy law. It gives you a few important rights over your own data:

  • You may see what data is held about you.
  • You may take your data with you (export).
  • You may have your data deleted.

A good tool makes those rights easy to use β€” not something you wait months for.

You stay in control with BoekBrug

At BoekBrug your data stays yours. Concretely that means:

  • Export whenever you want. You can download all your data in one go. Want to switch, or just keep a copy? You always can.
  • Delete whenever you want. You can have your account and data deleted. You're not locked in.
  • You decide what you share. If you share with your accountant via the bridge, you decide what's shared β€” and you can break the link again.

So your admin isn't a black hole where your data disappears, but something you stay in charge of.

What to look for in any tool

  • Can you export your data? If not, you're locked in.
  • Can you delete your account? Important if you ever want to stop.
  • Is it clear who has access? Only you, and whoever you give access to.
  • Is there a privacy statement? It explains what happens to your data.

Trust starts with honesty

A tool that holds your data hostage doesn't deserve your trust. A tool where you can export and delete everything does. That's why "your data is yours" at BoekBrug isn't a slogan, but something you can actually do.
