is to provide information about which personal data (hereinafter also “data”) the CONTROLLER, as the data controller, processes when visiting websites operated by the CONTROLLER and when contacting potential customers. Furthermore, the Principles specify the purposes and duration for which the CONTROLLER processes personal data in accordance with applicable legislation, to whom and why the data may be transferred, and also information about the rights of individuals in connection with the processing of their personal data.

These Principles are effective from 1 January 2022 and are issued in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data (“Regulation” or “GDPR”) to fulfill the information obligation of the CONTROLLER as a personal data controller under Article 13 of the GDPR. These Principles apply to the processing of personal data of the CONTROLLER’s customers, users of the CONTROLLER’s services, persons interested in the CONTROLLER’s services, and visitors to websites operated by the CONTROLLER, always to the extent of personal data protection under GDPR corresponding to their relationship with the CONTROLLER. Below you will find an overview of the main principles of personal data protection and other processed data.

1. WHO PROCESSES YOUR DATA?

2. WHAT IS PERSONAL DATA?

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person to whom the personal data relates. A person is considered identified or identifiable if they can be directly or indirectly identified, especially based on a number, code, or one or more elements specific to their physical, physiological, psychological, economic, cultural, or social identity. Handling such data may be restricted due to the right to privacy, and personal data protection is governed by GDPR.

 

3. WHICH PERSONAL DATA DO WE PROCESS?

We only process personal data that you provide in connection with your interest in our services. 3.1. Basic personal identification and address data. These data are necessary for the conclusion and fulfillment of the contract. 3.2. Other data processed based on your consent, which we obtain from you through your use of our services: a) IP address b) Cookies (in case of online services) c) Records of behavior on websites operated by the CONTROLLER obtained from cookies if cookies are enabled in the web browser. These records are processed to improve the operation of websites operated by the CONTROLLER and for online advertising d) Possibly another online identifier.

 

4. WHY DO WE PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA?

a) Fulfillment of legal tax obligations (compliance with legal obligations) under Article 6 GDPR. b) Marketing purposes (customer consents).

 

5. PROVISION OF PERSONAL DATA

Providing personal data necessary for contract fulfillment, compliance with legal obligations of the CONTROLLER, and protection of the CONTROLLER’s legitimate interests is mandatory. Without providing personal data for these purposes, it would not be possible to fulfill the CONTROLLER’s obligations towards customers. We do not need consent to process personal data for these purposes. We use the legal basis of contract performance for processing personal data. Personal data for these activities are processed to the extent necessary to fulfill these activities and for the duration necessary to achieve them or for the period directly stipulated by legal regulations. 5.1. Processing of personal data for marketing purposes for subjects who have given consent to marketing communication via electronic contact is carried out by the CONTROLLER with their consent for the period specified in the consent. The data provided by the subject for marketing communication and sending information about products, news, and special offers of the CONTROLLER are processed. If this consent is given via websites operated by the CONTROLLER, cookie data placed on the websites where the consent was given are also processed, but only if the subject has cookies enabled in their web browser. Unsubscribing from receiving information about news and special offers can be done via email at daniel.van.wauwe@gmail.com 5.2. Processing of cookies from websites operated by the CONTROLLER: if the subject has cookies enabled in their web browser, we process records of behavior from cookies placed on websites operated by the CONTROLLER to ensure better website operation, perform analysis and measurement to determine how our services are used, and for the CONTROLLER’s online advertising purposes.

 

6. WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are small amounts of data that our servers send to your computer and that allow better use of our servers and customization of their content to your needs. Almost every website in the world uses cookies. Cookies increase the user-friendliness of repeatedly visited websites and are therefore useful to you. If you use the same computer and the same web browser to visit our website, cookies help your computer remember visited pages and your website settings. Through our websites, cookies from advertising system operators running on our sites may also be stored on your computer. As part of remarketing, our company also uses Google systems. Remarketing data is used solely to segment visitors to deliver more relevant advertising messages. Segments are created based on several general patterns of visitor behavior. Standard web browsers (Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Google Chrome, etc.) support cookie management. In browser settings, you can manually delete, block, or completely disable cookies, or block/allow them only for specific websites. For more detailed information, please use your browser’s help section. If your browser has cookies enabled, we assume you agree to the use of standard cookies by our servers. We do not use cookies for any purposes other than purely technical ones, we do not link data obtained through them with any other data, and we work with cookies in a way that does not allow identification of specific individuals. There are temporary and permanent cookies. Temporary cookies are stored on your computer only until the browser is closed. They allow information to be retained when moving from one website to another and eliminate the need to re-enter certain data. Permanent cookies help identify your computer when you revisit our website but do not allow personal identification. Permanent cookies allow us to tailor our website to your interests, but we cannot personally identify you, and the relevant data is stored completely anonymously and not linked to any other data.

 

7. WHO WILL HAVE ACCESS TO YOUR PERSONAL DATA?

When fulfilling our obligations under contracts, we may use professional and specialized services of other entities. If these suppliers process personal data provided by the CONTROLLER, they act as personal data processors and process personal data only within the CONTROLLER’s instructions and may not use them otherwise. We carefully select our partners to whom we entrust your data and who are capable of ensuring such technical and organizational security of your data that unauthorized or accidental access to your data or other misuse cannot occur. Protecting your data is our priority. All our partners are bound by confidentiality obligations and may not use the provided data for any purposes other than those for which we made them available.

 

8. HOW LONG DO WE PROCESS YOUR DATA?

We will process your data for the entire duration of your use of our services (i.e., the duration of the contractual relationship between us) and subsequently, based on your consent, for an additional 24 months unless you withdraw your consent. However, we would like to point out that personal data necessary for the proper provision of the services you ordered or for fulfilling all our obligations, whether arising from the contract between us or from generally binding legal regulations, must be processed regardless of your consent for the period stipulated by legal regulations or in accordance with them even after any withdrawal of your consent.

 

9. CAN WE PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT?

Yes, we can process your personal data without your consent, but only for the purpose of: a) Providing the service (fulfillment of the contract between you and the CONTROLLER); b) Fulfilling legal obligations arising from generally binding legal regulations; c) Processing necessary for our legitimate interests (e.g., direct marketing, ensuring website security). The possibility and legality of such processing arise directly from applicable legislation, and your consent is not required.

 

10. ON WHAT BASIS CAN WE PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA?

As previously stated, we may process your personal data based on your consent, but also, for example, based on our legitimate interest or for the performance of a contract concluded between us, to the extent of personal data necessary for such performance. Last but not least, a reason allowing us to process your personal data without your consent is the fulfillment of legal obligations imposed on us by law. The specific purposes for which we process your personal data are listed above.

 

11. HOW IS MY PERSONAL DATA SECURED?

All personal data you provide to us is secured using standard procedures and technologies. However, it is objectively not possible to guarantee complete security of your personal data. Therefore, it is also not possible to ensure 100% that the personal data provided cannot be accessed, copied, published, altered, or destroyed by a third party breaching all security measures, including those of the service provider WIX.com.. Nevertheless, we assure you that we regularly check whether the CONTROLLER’s security contains any vulnerabilities or has been exposed to attacks, and we use security measures that, as far as possible, prevent unauthorized access to your personal data and that, considering the current state of technology, provide sufficient protection. The adopted security measures are regularly updated. To better secure your personal data, access to this data is protected by a password, and sensitive data is encrypted during transmission between your browser and our website. However, without your help and responsible behavior, we cannot fully ensure the security of your data. Therefore, please help us protect your data by keeping your unique passwords and access credentials confidential and by following basic security principles. Please always keep in mind that emails may not be encrypted. Therefore, we strongly recommend not using such forms of communication when providing confidential information.

 

12. HOW AND WHEN CAN YOU WITHDRAW YOUR CONSENT TO PERSONAL DATA PROCESSING?

You may withdraw your voluntarily given consent to the processing of personal data at any time free of charge by sending an email to: daniel.van.wauwe@gmail.com. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the possibility to continue processing your personal data based on the consent given before its withdrawal. Withdrawal of consent also does not affect the processing of personal data that we process on a legal basis other than consent (i.e., especially if processing is necessary for the performance of a contract, legal obligation, or other reasons stated in applicable legislation).

 

13. AM I REQUIRED TO PROVIDE MY PERSONAL DATA? WHAT IF I DO NOT PROVIDE IT?

You provide your personal data voluntarily (however, for some services, providing certain personal data is required to access the service, i.e., if you do not provide it, you will not be able to use the service). Processing your personal data, often only in anonymized form without being able to identify you as a specific user, allows us to provide our products and continuously improve and develop new ones. If you do not give us your consent or later withdraw it, it may happen that we will no longer be able to provide some of our products or services to you in full. However, you are of course not obliged to use our free services.

​

14. WHAT RIGHTS DO YOU HAVE IN RELATION TO PERSONAL DATA PROTECTION?

In relation to your personal data, you have in particular the following rights: a) Right to information b) Right of access to personal data c) Right to correct or supplement inaccurate personal data d) Right to erasure of personal data (“right to be forgotten”) in certain cases e) Right to restriction of processing f) Right to notification of correction, erasure, or restriction of processing g) Right to data portability h) Right to object or lodge a complaint against processing in certain cases i) Right to withdraw consent to personal data processing at any time j) Right to be informed of a personal data breach in certain cases k) Other rights set out in the Personal Data Protection Act and in GDPR upon its entry into force

 

15. WHAT DOES IT MEAN THAT YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT?

If you no longer wish to receive commercial communications or other information about new products in our portfolio, you have the right to object to the further processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes. If you do so, we will no longer process your data for this purpose, and you will no longer receive commercial communications or newsletters from us. More detailed information about this right is provided in Article 21 of the GDPR.

 

16. HOW CAN YOU CONTACT US?

If you have any questions regarding personal data protection or wish to withdraw your consent to further processing of your personal data, please use the email: daniel.van.wauwe@gmail.com. In this context, we may ask you to appropriately verify your identity so that we can confirm your identity. This is a preventive security measure to prevent unauthorized persons from accessing your personal data. To improve service quality and maintain records of our legal obligations, all communication with you is monitored.
