Stichting Nederlandse Datakluis (SNDK) · Version 1.0 · 17 December 2025
1. Why this privacy statement exists
Stichting Nederlandse Datakluis (“SNDK”) stores your data for you. You decide who can see your data and for what purpose. In this statement, we clearly explain:
- what data SNDK processes,
- why this happens,
- who can access it (only you),
- and how we ensure that no one else can access your store.
2. Who we are
SNDK is an independent foundation that manages personal data stores (“pods”). We provide data stores on a special server, and nothing else. We do not see your data, use it, sell it, analyze it, or share it. We only give other parties access to your data if you have explicitly given permission for this. Our only task: to store your store, protect it, and ensure the technical operation of storing and making data available.
3. Your personal data store
A data store is your own digital store.
- The content is yours.
- Only you decide what goes in it.
- Only you decide who can see it.
- Your store is not owned by SNDK, and neither is the data in it.
4. What data SNDK processes
SNDK only processes data necessary for the existence of your data store.
4.1 Technical data
- the address (internet location) of your data store,
- technical metadata such as file structure,
- system files necessary for operation.
4.2 Security data
- log data that checks if everything is safe and available,
- checks that ensure your data is not accessible to others without your explicit permission.
4.3 What SNDK does not process but only stores
- the content of your store,
- profiles,
- filled-in information,
- permissions.
This data is stored in your store by you or another party without SNDK viewing or processing the data.
5. Where your data is stored
Everything is stored in one of our secure environments in Europe. We do not read your data, nor do we do anything else with it without your explicit and well-informed consent.
6. What we use your data for
Only to:
- make your data store work,
- secure your data store,
- make your data store available for services you choose, such as Upod.
We only follow your instructions. We never look in.
7. What SNDK never does with your data
- no analysis,
- no statistics,
- no profiling,
- no resale,
- no sharing copies with others,
- no giving access to content to others without your explicit, well-informed consent.
8. Our role under the GDPR
You are the data controller of all data in your store.
SNDK is the processor of your data on your behalf.
Simply put: you are in charge of your data, we execute what you want.
9. How long we keep your data
As long as you have a data store. If you stop:
- we delete your data store,
- we delete all encrypted data,
- we break all links.
You can also indicate that you want to keep your data store when you cancel Upod or another service that uses your data store.
10. Security
We use modern security:
- encryption,
- secure data centers in Europe,
- minimal access rights,
- monitoring and alerts,
- security tests.
11. Your rights
You can:
- delete your store,
- move your store,
- take data to another provider,
- break links with services that can access your data store.
12. Data breaches
We do everything we can to keep your data safe, but just like with your own house, you can never completely rule out that something happens that is not intended. If something goes wrong in our systems:
- we report it according to the law,
- we inform you and/or the service,
- we solve it as quickly as possible.
13. Changes
If we adjust this statement, we will let you know via the service you use (e.g., Upod) or by email.
