This statement describes how your personal data is collected and processed on this website and in the execution of orders by NV Confiserie Thijs in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (effective 25/05/2018).

If you enter into an agreement with us, NV Confiserie Thijs may become aware of personal data relating to the client's customers, its staff, suppliers and appointees (non-exhaustive list).

In the context of carrying out the assignments awarded to NV Confiserie Thijs by its clients, it cannot be ruled out that NV Confiserie Thijs may become aware of sensitive personal data that may be processed by NV Confiserie Thijs:

• data relating to persons under the age of 16

When you fill in the contact form, you give NV Confiserie Thijs your explicit consent by ticking the box at the bottom of the contact form. If you email NV Confiserie Thijs, you also give it your consent to process your data.

If you entrust assignments to NV Confiserie Thijs, you give permission for all personal data that it comes into contact with in the performance of its assignments to be taken into account. This permission must be given explicitly. If you do not give NV Confiserie Thijs this permission, it will be able to take the personal data into account on the basis of the performance of the agreement or its legitimate interest.

For the processing of sensitive data in the context of performing its services, NV Confiserie Thijs requires your explicit consent or you, as the client, guarantee that you have the consent of the data subject and that he can communicate this consent to the client on paper or on another medium.

Our website does not intend to collect sensitive data about website visitors who are younger than 16 years of age, unless they have permission from their parents or guardian. However, we cannot check whether a visitor is older than 16. We therefore advise parents to be involved in their children's online activities in order to prevent data about children from being collected without parental consent.

The data subject can also withdraw their consent at any time. To do so, send an email to info@confiserie-thijs.be.

4. Purposes

5. Transfer to third parties

The personal data originating from the client will only be transferred to processors for the purposes listed in point 4. Under no circumstances will your data be transferred to third parties for commercial purposes.

NV Confiserie Thijs attaches the utmost importance to your personal data. If it engages processors who may also come into contact with your personal data, it will ensure that the processors do not use the personal data for purposes other than those listed in point 4. It will make agreements with these parties about how they should treat the personal data and what level of protection they must apply. If you would like to be informed about the processors, you can send us an email at info@confiserie-thijs.be.

6. Storage

NV Confiserie Thijs stores your data for an unlimited period of time if it concerns personal data that it acquires via the website www.confiserie-thijs.be or via email, and for the duration of the agreement if it concerns personal data that it processes in the context of its assignments. NV Confiserie Thijs strives to inform you as well as possible about its services.

NV Confiserie Thijs will offer the greatest guarantee to comply with your rights as described in point 8. The data subject will be asked at regular intervals to confirm the accuracy of the data.

7. Level of protection

NV Confiserie Thijs guarantees an appropriate level of protection at an organisational and technical level. We do this by securing your data appropriately and also requiring this level of security from our processors. Security is ensured at a minimum by using a password to protect sensitive data.

8. Rights of the data subject

The purpose of this privacy statement is to adequately inform you about your rights. You always have the right to object to the processing of your data. If you wish to view, correct, transfer or restrict the processing of your data, this is of course also possible. Under certain conditions, your data may be deleted. Your request to this effect should be sent to info@confiserie-thijs.be.

To ensure that the request for access has been made by you, we ask you to send a copy of your ID with the request. In this copy, black out your passport photo, the MRZ (machine readable zone, the strip with numbers at the bottom of the ID), the ID card/passport number and the National Registration Number. This is to protect your privacy.
