In this privacy statement, the American Chamber of Commerce in the Netherlands (AmCham) explains which personal data AmCham collects, how the data are used and for what purpose.
We provide membership services to our member companies and the employees within that company. As a result, we must have limited personal data in order to be able to provide our services.

AmCham adheres to the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (AVG). Because the data processing operations by AmCham fall within the statutory exemption regulations, they are not registered with the Dutch Data Protection Authority.
