Keep your customer data safe with the i-Reserve reservation system

What exactly is the Data Pro Code?

The Data Pro Code is a code of conduct approved by the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens) and developed for IT service providers that process personal data. The purpose of this code is to help companies comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) by providing clear rules and guidelines.

With the Data Pro Code, your organization demonstrates its careful handling of data and compliance with all relevant laws and regulations. This goes beyond just technical security; it also encompasses transparency, accountability, and an ethical approach to data. Companies that adhere to the Data Pro Code, such as i-Reserve, receive an independently verified statement—the Data Pro Statement—outlining exactly how they handle data.

How does the Data Pro Code help you as a customer?

You might be wondering what this means for you as a customer. Simply put, it gives you certainty and peace of mind. Here are a few practical benefits of working with a vendor that adheres to the Data Pro Code:
Transparency about data usage: You gain clear insight into how data is processed, who has access, and what security measures are in place. This means you won't encounter any surprises and you'll always be prepared for questions from your customers.
Risk protection: By choosing a partner that adheres to the Data Pro Code, you know you're working with a party that proactively handles data security. This reduces the risk of data breaches and the resulting reputational damage or legal issues.
Future-proofing: The Data Pro Code is in line with the GDPR and future developments in legislation. This means you don't have to constantly check whether your systems are up to date with new regulations—your vendor has already taken care of that.
Rapid incident response: Should problems arise, you'll be dealing with a party that is obligated to act appropriately and transparently. This saves you time, stress and potentially complicated legal issues.

What do the privacy changes in 2025 mean for you?

Starting in 2025, data protection in Europe will become even more important with new, stricter regulations. Governments are placing more responsibility on companies, meaning that as a business owner, you'll need to pay extra attention to how you process and secure data. New obligations, for example, require you to provide more detailed reporting on your data processing processes and offer customers more insight into how their data is used.

For vendors like i-Reserve, who already work with the strictest Data Pro Code standards, these changes are no problem. We're ready for the future, so you can be too. Ask yourself if your current vendor offers the same level of preparedness and compliance.
