8. Your rights
You have many rights as regards the processing of your personal data, including the processing of cookies.
The execution of your rights in our systems and procedures takes place no later than 30 days after we have received your request. If, for some reason, we not meet this deadline, we will inform you before the end of the original period.
8.1 You may access your personal data
You have the right to access information on the personal data that we process about you, the purpose of the processing, from where we obtained the data and who receives the data.
In these cases, you can also learn how long we will retain the data, whether the data is used for automated decision-making purposes and whether we intend to send the data to a country outside the European Union.
We will send you the requested information in writing or electronically.

It may be the case that the data we have from you is not, or no longer, correct. You may request us at any time to have incorrect data rectified or incomplete data completed.
8.3. Right to erasure
If you think that we are processing these cookies wrongfully, you can erase them via your browser.
8.4. Right to restrict the processing of personal data
You may request that we restrict the processing of your personal data, should you suspect that the data is incorrect or that the processing is wrongful.
8.5. Right to object

If you do not agree with our viewpoint, you can contact the Belgian Data Protection Authority. You may also submit any complaints to this authority. The contact details are Rue de la Presse/Drukpersstraat 35, 1000 Brussels, +32 274 48 00/Contact@apd-gba.be

Please always be as specific as possible when you wish to exercise your rights. That will help us to process your request correctly.
To avoid that a person other than yourself exercises your rights, we will wish to verify your identity as best as we can. For this reason, your request must always be accompanied by a document proving that the identity of the requester matches your own identity. You can do this by attaching a photocopy of your identity card to the request. Please be sure to block out your ID card photo, card number and suchlike so as to protect your privacy.
We shall notify you if we believe the document provided constitutes insufficient proof. We reserve the right to defer processing the request until sufficient proof has been provided.
