CHANGES

WHO PROCESSES YOUR PERSONAL DATA?
In most situations we act as the controller of your personal data. This is the case, for example, when you visit our Website, contact us, or apply for a job with us. When we process personal data provided by our customers for the purpose of executing printing or marketing campaigns, we act as processor and follow the instructions of our customers, who remain the controller. Our role as processor is governed by a separate data processing agreement with that customer. We never act as both controller and processor for the same processing activity.
WHAT PERSONAL DATA DO WE PROCESS FROM WHOM, AND FOR WHAT PURPOSES?
The personal data we process depends on our relationship with you. In the sections below we explain, for each category of data subject, the types of personal data we process, for what purposes, and on which legal bases.

Our Website may include links or buttons that let you follow us on social media channels such as LinkedIn or similar platforms.

In such cases, we enter into appropriate data processing agreements with them.
PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA OUTSIDE THE EEA
We are a Belgian company and mainly process personal data within the European Economic Area (EEA). However, your personal data may be transferred outside the EEA through our processors or sub-processors. If such transfers are made to a country that does not have an adequacy decision from the European Commission, we will put in place appropriate safeguards to ensure that your personal data receives an adequate level of protection. These safeguards may include the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses or other legally recognised transfer mechanisms. You may contact us for more information about these safeguards and to obtain a copy where relevant.
HOW DO WE PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL DATA?
We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational measures to process your personal data in line with applicable data protection laws and to protect your personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or access. We also enter into data processing agreements with our processors and sub-processors to ensure they apply adequate safeguards. Within our organization, we enforce confidentiality obligations and access restrictions to protect your personal data.
HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL DATA?
We do not keep personal data longer than necessary for the purposes for which the personal data was collected. We may retain personal data where this is required to comply with legal obligations, to resolve disputes, or to enforce our agreements. We may also retain usage data (such as technical data automatically collected when you use the Website) for internal analysis. Usage data is generally retained for a shorter period, unless it is needed to improve the security or functionality of our Website or we are legally required to retain it for longer. If you would like more information about specific retention periods, please contact us using the details provided above.
