  • Assess the products and services you already use and your sociodemographic data (age, family composition, income, etc.)

5.            Your consent for the processing of your personal data

 

BRICKWORKS VANDE MOORTEL may process your personal (electronic) contact details (i.e. address, name, your mobile number, email address, etc.) for marketing purposes such as specific competitions, surveys or campaigns or to send you personal information, ads or offers via direct marketing or newsletters in this context. In this case, BRICKWORKS VANDE MOORTEL must request your specific consent first.

 

V.           To whom does BRICKWORKS VANDE MOORTEL transfer your personal data?

 

BRICKWORKS VANDE MOORTEL treats your personal data with the greatest care and only shares your data in order to offer you the best services when fulfilling its tasks.

In some cases, BRICKWORKS VANDE MOORTEL is required by law to share your data with third parties, including:

 

  • Public or supervisory authorities where there is a legal obligation to transfer information
  • Judicial investigative authorities at their express request

BRICKWORKS VANDE MOORTEL also transfers your data to processors of BRICKWORKS VANDE MOORTEL to assist with:

Your personal data may also be disclosed to bailiffs or lawyers with regard to legal proceedings.

In the cases mentioned above, BRICKWORKS VANDE MOORTEL ensures that third parties have only limited access to the personal data necessary to carry out the specific tasks required. BRICKWORKS VANDE MOORTEL will also ensure that third parties commit to use the personal data in a secure and confidential manner and in accordance with the instructions of BRICKWORKS VANDE MOORTEL and its data protection policy.

 

BRICKWORKS VANDE MOORTEL stores your personal data within the EEA. No data is therefore transferred to countries outside the EEA.

 

VI.         How long is your personal data kept for?

 

BRICKWORKS VANDE MOORTEL will not keep your personal data for any longer than is necessary for the achievement of the purposes for which the data is collected.

 

This period is linked to BRICKWORKS VANDE MOORTEL’s legal and tax obligations, together with the legal requirement to keep your data beyond the retention period as evidence or in order to respond to requests for information from the relevant authority.

 

Once the cooperation is ended, BRICKWORKS VANDE MOORTEL may retain your personal data in accordance with the GDPR for a limited period while the necessary steps are taken to delete the personal data securely or to anonymise it.

 

VII.        How is your personal data kept secure?

 

BRICKWORKS VANDE MOORTEL applies strict standards in order to protect the personal data under its control from unauthorised or unlawful processing and from accidental loss, destruction or damage.

 

BRICKWORKS VANDE MOORTEL therefore also takes measures of a technical and organisational nature, including securing office areas, password login, encryption, antivirus, firewalls, access controls, rigorous selection of employees and suppliers, to prevent and detect inappropriate access to, loss or disclosure of your personal data.

 

In the unlikely and unfortunate event that your personal data under the control of BRICKWORKS VANDE MOORTEL is compromised by an information security breach, BRICKWORKS VANDE MOORTEL will immediately act to identify the cause of this breach and take action via adequate remedial measures. If necessary, BRICKWORKS VANDE MOORTEL will notify you of this incident in accordance with the applicable legislation.

 

VIII.      What are your rights regarding the processing of your personal data?

 

Right of access, to rectification, to restriction of processing, to erasure, data portability and of objection

For the above-mentioned purposes, you have:

 

  • A right of access to your personal data held by BRICKWORKS VANDE MOORTEL. This means that you can ask BRICKWORKS VANDE MOORTEL whether it processes your personal data, the purposes for which this data is processed, what categories of data are processed, and to whom it is disclosed.
  • A right to rectification if you discover that your personal data is inaccurate or incomplete.
  • A right to restriction of processing if, for example, you dispute the correctness of your personal data, for a period allowing BRICKWORKS VANDE MOORTEL to check this.
  • A right to erasure of your personal data. Once your contract with BRICKWORKS VANDE MOORTEL has come to an end, you may ask BRICKWORKS VANDE MOORTEL to erase your personal data if it is no longer required in relation to the purposes for which this personal data was collected. You can also request the erasure of personal data processed by BRICKWORKS VANDE MOORTEL based on your consent (unless BRICKWORKS VANDE MOORTEL has another legal basis for the processing) or based on the legitimate interest of BRICKWORKS VANDE MOORTEL (unless there are prevailing compelling legitimate grounds for the processing). BRICKWORKS VANDE MOORTEL may keep this personal data in any case if it is required for evidential purposes in relation to legal action.
  • A right to portability of data which you have supplied to BRICKWORKS VANDE MOORTEL if your personal data is processed based on a contract or based on your consent and this personal data is processed by automated means. Under this right, you may ask BRICKWORKS VANDE MOORTEL to transmit your personal data to yourself or directly to another data controller, insofar as this is technically feasible for BRICKWORKS VANDE MOORTEL.
  • You have the right to object to the processing of your data for the purposes mentioned in Articles IV.3 and IV.4. In the case of IV.3, however, BRICKWORKS VANDE MOORTEL may continue to process the personal data if there are compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms for the establishment, exercise or defence of a legal claim.

 

You may exercise your rights by:

  • posting a written request, which is dated, signed and accompanied by a copy of proof of your identity, to Vande Moortel – Privacy, Scheldekant 7, 9700 Oudenaarde or
  • sending an email to privacy@vandemoortel.be
