We will keep all personal data we collect through our interactions with you via our website, social media, telephone, fax, e-mail and other digital communication channels for as long as necessary to communicate with you, but also to maintain a historical archive of our to keep up with communication.

7. WHAT DO WE DO TO KEEP YOUR PERSONAL DATA SECURE? 

As explained before, the security and confidentiality of all data we process is very important to us. That is why we have taken measures to ensure that all processed personal data is kept secure. These steps include, among other things, limiting the processing to the personal data that are necessary for achieving the purposes that we have communicated to you. We have also taken technical and organizational measures to secure our infrastructure, systems, applications, building and processes. 

8. WHAT RIGHTS DO YOU HAVE REGARDING YOUR PERSONAL DATA? 

When we collect and use your personal data, you enjoy a number of rights that you can exercise as described below. 

You have the right to access your personal data, which means that you can ask us to provide you with information about the personal data we hold about you. You can even request a copy of your personal data. However, keep in mind that you must indicate for which processing activities you wish to have access to your personal data. 

If you repeatedly submit the same request and clearly cause inconvenience, we may refuse these successive requests or charge you an administrative fee to cover the costs. We can also refuse or only partially grant you the right to access your personal data, if such access could disproportionately harm the rights and freedoms of others, including those of Tintrio. 

You have the right to request that we correct your personal data if you can demonstrate that the personal data we process about you is incorrect, incomplete or outdated. Please indicate in which context we use your personal data (for example to send you newsletters or to respond to a request), so that we can assess your request quickly and accurately. 

If we ask for your permission to collect and use your personal data, for example to send you newsletters, you have the right to withdraw this previously given permission. 

You can request that we delete your personal data if this personal data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which we collected it, if its collection was unlawful or if you have successfully exercised your right to withdraw your consent or if you right to object to the processing of your personal data. Where any of these circumstances apply, we will delete your personal data immediately, unless legal obligations or administrative or court orders prohibit us from deleting your personal data. 

You can ask us to restrict the processing of your personal data: 

• during the time that we assess your request for correction of your personal data; 
• during the time that we assess your objection to the processing of your personal data; 
• where such processing was unlawful, but you prefer restriction to erasure; 
• when we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the establishment, exercise or defense of a legal claim. 

Where we have collected your personal data based on your consent or because it was necessary for the performance or performance of an agreement with you, you have the right to obtain a copy from us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. However, this right only applies to personal data that you have provided to us.

If you would like to exercise any of these rights, we ask that you send us an email. You can reach us at info@tintrio.be.

You can be assured that we will not interpret an e-mail from you, with which you indicate that you wish to exercise a right, as your consent to the processing of your personal data that goes beyond what is necessary for the processing of your request. 

A request must clearly indicate and specify which right you wish to exercise. Always indicate in which context we have obtained your personal data, so that we can handle your request quickly and carefully. Your application must also be dated and signed. 

We will immediately notify you of the receipt of this request. If the application proves to be justified, we will inform you as soon as possible and no later than thirty (30) days after receipt of the application. 

Should you have a complaint about the processing of your personal data by Tintrio, you can always contact us via the e-mail address mentioned above. 

If you are not satisfied with our answer, you can submit a complaint to the competent data protection authority, i.e. the Belgian Data Protection Authority (Gegevensbeschermingsautoriteit) at the following addresses:
