For which purposes will we use your personal data?

Under data protection law, we can only process your personal information if we have a proper reason for doing so, e.g.:

  • to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations;
  • for the performance of our contract with you or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract;
  • for our legitimate interests; or
  • where you have given consent such as in the case of specific projects where your data is shared for reporting purposes (for example with the European Commission) and for targeted communications

A legitimate interest is when we have a business or commercial reason to use your information, so long as this is not overridden by your own rights and interests.

We do not sell or otherwise disclose personal data we collect about you, except as described in this Privacy Policy or as we disclosed to you at the time the personal data is collected.

The above table does not apply to special category of personal data, which we will only process with your explicit consent.

 

Promotional communications and opt-out

We may use your personal data to send you updates (by email, text message, telephone or post) about our services, including ALL DIGITAL’s activities, programmes and events and to organise such activities, programmes and events.

We will always treat your personal information with the utmost respect and never share it with other organisations for marketing purposes.

You have the right to opt out of receiving promotional communications at any time by:

  • using the ‘unsubscribe’ link in emails/newsletters received via MailChimp;
  • leaving the Unite-IT network via editing the personal settings in the account;
  • writing a personal message to the data protection officer with the request to remove your data from ALL DIGITAL’s databases

 

With whom will we share your personal data?

We might share personal information with:

  • third parties we use to help us run our organisation, e.g. website hosts, third parties related to the employment of our staff, including insurance companies, social security services, payment services, travel services);
  • third parties approved by you, e.g. social media sites you choose to link your account to or third-party payment providers;
  • our banks in relation to our legal statutory obligations under Belgian law.

We only allow our service providers to handle your personal data if we are satisfied they take appropriate measures to protect your personal data. We also impose contractual obligations on service providers relating to ensure they can only use your personal data to provide services to us and to you. We may also share personal information with external auditors, e.g. in relation to accreditation and the audit of our accounts.

We may disclose and exchange information with law enforcement agencies and regulatory bodies to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations. Our Site contains links to third-party websites which are not managed by ALL DIGITAL. Moreover, any personal data you provide on third-party websites is subject to those third-parties’ privacy policies.  We are not responsible for the practices and policies of such third-party websites.

Personal data may be held at our offices and those of our third-party agencies, service providers, representatives and agents as described above.

  • to show that we treated you fairly;
  • to keep records required by law.

We will not retain your personal data for longer than necessary for the purposes set out in this policy.

  • with your and our service providers located outside the EU;
  • if you are based outside the EU;
  • with services providers used to provide services to our members’ legitimate interests

These transfers are subject to appropriate safeguards as outlined in Article 46 GDPR.

Those processing your information will do so only in an authorised manner and are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We also have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security breach. We will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected data security breach where we are legally required to do so.

 

How to complain?
