How we secure personal data
AB Texel takes the protection of your data seriously and takes appropriate measures to prevent misuse, loss, unauthorised access, unwanted disclosure and unauthorised changes. If, despite this, you feel that your data is not secure or there are indications of misuse, contact us at info@abtexelgroup.com. AB Texel has taken the following measures to secure your personal data:  

• Security software, such as a virus scanner and firewall.

• TLS (formerly SSL). We use a secure internet connection to send your data. This can be seen in the 'https' in the address bar, along with the padlock in the address bar.

• DKIM, SPF and DMARC are three internet standards we use to ensure that you do not receive e-mails in our name that contain viruses, are spam, or are intended to obtain personal (login) data.

  DNSSEC is an additional security measure (in addition to DNS) for converting a domain name (#company_website) to its associated IP address (server name); it carries a digital signature. You can have this signature checked automatically. By using this, we prevent you being redirected to a fake IP address. This can be tested on internet.nl.
