Privacy statement

This statement aims to transparently and clearly inform you about how we process your personal data. With “personal data” we mean any information that enables your identification, directly or indirectly. The “processing” of your personal data covers each process or a combination of processes related to your personal data such as, among others, but not limited to, compiling, storing, using, updating or erasing.

This statement in particular concerns the processing of your personal data that we compile through several forms on our website, which is made available to us by the person who imparts his personal data (customer/supplier/member of staff/…) and/or through documents that are made available to us and/or through publicly consultable sources such as the Central Enterprise Databank, the National Register, websites. We also compile data through the use of cookies and similar technologies. If you want more information about this use, we will invite you to consult our Cookie Policy.

We are Bjorn Desmadryl (NP), with a head office in 8501 Heule, Kortrijksestraat 103A, BE 0668.613.080, bjorn@thebrewsociety.be, tel. +32 56 13 04 05

The categories of personal data that can be processed include, among others, the surname, name (or, if applicable, first names), address information (such as street name, number, PO box number, postcode, town/village/city, country, etc.), contact details (e.g. e-mail address, telephone number, fax number, mobile number, fax number, etc.), gender, date of birth, National Register number, identity card number, place of birth, delivery address, account number, job category/position and Central Enterprise Databank and/or VAT number.

We only process -among others- the data, mainly your contact details, you impart to us via these forms in order to be able to meet your requests. In each of our forms we clarify the data you are obliged to fill in, in order to process your request. You are consequently free to decide whether or not you wish to impart your data with us if this is not indicated as obligatory.

If the personal data provided to us was not imparted with explicit consent then this is required for the realisation of the agreement we are involved in and/or for fulfilling legal duties we and/or our customer and/or our supplier and/or our member of staff must meet. All supplied personal data which we find out and process as part of our assignment, shall be used exclusively for professional purposes and is processed in a lawful, proper and transparent way.

In general, we try to avoid sending your personal data to third parties. We therefore only send your personal data to third parties if this is necessary to be able to meet your requests and to inform parties that have to be updated on this personal data in order to properly realise the agreement we are involved in and/or if the law obliges this. If we impart your personal data to a third processor, we limit the access of this third party to data they require in order to fulfil their task. Furthermore, we demand from each of our processors that they respect the Personal Data Protection Act at all times. In addition, we ensure that the necessary measures are taken (e.g. by imposing certain contractual obligations) to guarantee a suitable level of protection of your personal data, if our subcontractor processes your data in a country that does not offer the same level of protection as the European Union.

We do not store your personal data for longer than is necessary for the purposes we compile your personal data for, provided that there is no statutory obligation that obliges us to store your data for longer. The personal data is stored for at least the statutory criteria for keeping accounts. The storing of personal data is done with protection that is appropriate and common for a company of our size in our sector.

You can submit any complaints about how we treat your personal data to our controller:

3. The communication to the data subject referred to in paragraph 1 shall not be required if any of the following conditions are met: a) the controller has implemented appropriate technical and organisational protection measures, and those measures were applied to the personal data affected by the personal data breach, in particular those that render the personal data unintelligible to any person who is not authorised to access it, such as encryption; b) the controller has taken subsequent measures which ensure that the high risk to the rights and freedoms of data subjects referred to in paragraph 1 is no longer likely to materialise; c) it would involve disproportionate effort. In such a case, there shall instead be a public communication or similar measure whereby the data subjects are informed in an equally effective manner.

4. If the controller has not already communicated the personal data breach to the data subject, the supervisory authority, having considered the likelihood of the personal data breach resulting in a high risk, may require it to do so or may decide that any of the conditions referred to in paragraph 3 are met.”
