We will not transfer your data to parties outside the European Economic Area (EEA) without your express permission.
The GDPR provides you with a number of rights that you can invoke subject to certain conditions. You can find a summary of them below together with a brief explanation. As stated above, these rights may be invoked via the following channels:
9.1. Right of inspection
Right of inspection means first and foremost that we are required to inform you about what happens with your data and that we must specify your rights. At your request, we must also provide a copy of your personal data. We refer you in the first instance to our Privacy Policy and the Website on which your data is available.
If you still wish to request your data, you can receive a copy by simply asking for it via one of the aforementioned channels. Please note that only the first copy is free of charge. To verify that it is you requesting access to your data, we will ask you for proof of your identity. If we have any doubts about your identity, we will only act once we have been able to confirm it. We will send you the information by e-mail.
It is possible that certain documents contain personal details of other persons who enjoy the same protection as you. We are therefore obliged to anonymise certain documents, which can take a little time. We will always inform you if we are unable to meet your request within one month.
9.2. Right of rectification
You have the right to amend your data at any time. Our systems offer the possibility for users to adjust their own details. You can do this via your profile. If we suspect that your data is no longer up-to-date, we may contact you to verify this.
9.3.Right to be forgotten
You have the right to delete your data at any time. If you meet one of the following criteria, we will delete your data. Your e-mail address and/or telephone number and/or address and/or name will be placed on a list, so that our system will recognise that you no longer wish to be contacted.
Circumstances in which we can delete your data:
If there is a specific situation preventing this data from being deleted, we will notify you of this. Reasons why we might not be able to comply with your request include the following:
You have the right to limit the processing of your data at any time. We will halt processing in the event that:
When there are no longer grounds to limit processing, we will notify you of the reasons for lifting the restriction.
9.5. Right of notification
If you invoke the aforementioned rights, with the exception of the right to access, we will duly notify each recipient to whom the personal data has been provided, unless this proves impossible or entails a disproportionate effort. At your request, we will inform you of these recipients.
9.6. Right of data portability
We will, on request, send to you or another controller all the data you have provided to us, which we process based on permission or on contractual conditions, and which we process via automated means, in ‘readable format’ (if technically possible). We can, for instance, provide a CSV file with your data to you or to another party designated by you.
9.7. Right to object
You may object if we process data based on justified interest or on the performance of a task in the public interest. We will investigate your objection and notify you of the results. We can only continue to process your personal data if there are judicial reasons for doing so.
If you object to direct marketing, we will no longer send you such material as of the moment we receive your request.
Yes you can withdraw your permission for the processing of your data at any time. There are, however, two exceptions. Firstly, if there is another legal basis for the processing of your data, we will continue to process that data in respect of that legal basis. Secondly, withdrawal of consent may not be used in order to circumvent contractual obligations. In summary: if you withdraw your permission, this only has effect going forward, and all previous processing will be deemed to have been lawful. If there is still a need to execute a contract, your data will be further processed on that basis.
You can withdraw your permission by contacting us via:
If we were not able to handle your request to your satisfaction, you always have the right to submit a complaint to the Data Protection Authority. This can be done via https://www.gegevensbeschermingsautoriteit.be/.
By doing so, we can respond to your question quickly and straightforwardly. All other information you provide is optional. If you do not fill in the mandatory fields or do so incorrectly, we might not be able to answer your question fully.
This Privacy Policy replaces all previous versions and applies with effect from 01/01/2020. We reserve the right to amend and/or update this Privacy Policy at any time. With the exception of minor adjustments, we will notify you of any change affecting your situation.
