Organization: how is JoinData structured?
In the organization chart below, you can see how our organization is structured.

General assembly (GA)
JoinData is a cooperative and therefore we hold a general assembly twice a year. This consists of representatives of the member organizations. At the GA we discuss the past and future policy of JoinData. Members can vote, monitor how plans are implemented and have a say in strategic matters and other important decisions.

Supervisory Board (SB)
The Supervisory Board supervises the management of the organization. The board advises – solicited and unsolicited – on the general course of events within JoinData. In addition, the SB contributes ideas about the development of the organization in the medium and long term. Finally, the Board plays the role of a sounding board for the management.

Independent audit committee
We have set up an independent audit committee to oversee how farmers share their data through the My JoinData platform. The committee monitors the process of data sharing and ensures that the farmer’s position is strengthened. In order to achieve this, members can have checks carried out on authorizations and data exchange, both solicited and unsolicited.

Sounding Board Farmers
We believe that the voice and vision of farmers themselves are very important. That is why we have set up a Farmers Sounding Board Group, consisting entirely of practicing farmers. They advise JoinData – solicited and unsolicited – on professional subjects.

ISO 27001/27002
JoinData is ISO 27001 certified. This guarantees that the data traffic that flows through our platform is safe. ISO 27001 is a globally recognized standard in the field of information security. The standard describes in detail how we deal with securing information, so that we can ensure the confidentiality, availability and integrity of information within the organization. This includes things like the protection of personal and/or company data, protection against hackers and burglary.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Data Governance Act en Data act are central to the entire organization. That’s why we have a data protection officer and treat all data as personal sensitive data.
