However, when you use the website in an interactive manner, by registering for the newsletters, completing the contact form, leaving a reaction, writing a review, etc., we do process the data entered by you. More specifically, these data are your surname, first name, address, telephone number and e-mail address.

Moreover, by submitting your personal data, you state that you unconditionally agree to the processing of the personal data submitted by you.

Recipients or categories of recipients of the data

The personal data processed may be disclosed to the following recipients, depending on the purposes of the processing:

  • the user himself
  • the controllers within our company who are responsible for the user file

The personal data processed will not be disclosed to third parties, unless this is necessary for website and marketing purposes, or with a view to the performance of this order, compliance with a legal obligation, a justified interest, a vital interest, etc.

In the aforementioned cases certain personal data may be exchanged with the following categories of recipients, without limitation:

  • Our sales staff

Sometimes we also need to use certain (technical) services, ranging from web hosting, the organisation of mailing campaigns, the use of specific software, cloud computing, ICT support, and so on. As a result of this, third parties may have access to your personal data. However, to protect your rights, we have drawn up separate data processing agreements for each of these service providers.

In principle, personal data cannot be submitted to third parties outside the European Economic Area. In case we do submit personal data to such third parties, we only do so to countries that offer an equivalent level of data protection.

The data are not stored any longer than necessary in order for us to provide an optimal service, including after sales services.
