How do we protect your personal data?

Since 4.ST considers your privacy as important, we make every effort to protect your personal data adequately. We have taken all appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against a possible data breach or access by unauthorised persons.

Who has access to your personal data and do we internationally transfer your personal data?

INTERNAL TO 4.ST

Within our organization, only authorized employees and the persons we designate have access to your personal data. Only those persons who need access for the proper performance of their duties or for the needs of the service are granted this access.

EXTERNAL TO 4.ST

Outside the situations described in this privacy policy, your personal data will not be transferred to third parties without your prior consent. Only if we are legally obliged to do so or if this has been agreed upon in our agreement, your personal data can be transferred to third parties. In such case, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to ensure your personal data is processed and secured correctly. For certain processes however, we rely on processors. With these parties, we enter into a data processing agreement to ensure your personal data is processed in a secure and confidential manner. Other third parties, like e.g. external auditors, law offices, banks, insurance companies, data controllers themselves, may also process your personal data for specific goals. Under no circumstances, your personal data will be sold or rented.

INTERNATIONAL

Certain personal data can, within our own operations such as international management, be passed on internationally. When this happens, we ensure the necessary guarantees are in place, such as "Standard Contractual Clauses", to make sure that your personal data is processed and secured correctly.

Which are your rights?

If you share data with 4.ST, you as a data subject have a number of rights with regard to your personal data. These are described below.

Right

Description

Right of information

This privacy policy is designed to inform you about our privacy practices.

Right of access

You can always send a request to 4.ST to get an overview of all we process about you or to obtain a print-out of this in a readable format. When you request this information, 4.ST will provide it with all necessary information such as: the processing, the retention period, the legal basis for processing and the recipients. To ensure that the request for access has been made by you, we may ask you to send a copy of your ID with the request. Make your passport photo, MRZ (machine readable zone, the strip with numbers at the bottom of the passport), passport number and national register number unreadable in this copy. This is to protect your privacy.

This information will be sent to you within one month.

Right of rectification

You have the right to rectify any personal data from you that we process if you know or suspect that such data is incorrect. 4.ST will rectify such data as soon as possible.

Right to erasure

If you no longer wish 4.ST to process your personal data, you can request (by email to ) to remove this data from our files / databases.

However, this is not an absolute right and you should be aware that other legislation may limit this right. E.g. you cannot request deletion of data on which a legally defined retention period has been set and this retention period has not yet been reached.

You can have all personal data that we process from you on the basis of "consent" removed immediately when you withdraw your consent. This can be done by simple request by e-mail to .

However, if disputes are ongoing, for example a lawsuit or other discussion that may have legal consequences, our interest in retaining this data is more important than your right to erasure. We cannot delete data while such activities are in progress.

Right of restriction of processing

If you do not agree with one or more of the processing activities that 4.ST does with your data, you can invoke a restriction on that specific processing activity. This can be done with a simple question by e-mail to .

Right to object

You have the right to object to any processing of your personal data for which we believe we have a legitimate interest. The processing of relevant personal data is stopped, unless we put forward compelling legitimate grounds for this processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms or if these personal data are related to the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Right of data portability

If you want to move to another similar service, you can ask 4.ST (by e-mail to ) to supply the data you have provided in a digital format so that you can communicate it to a similar organization. This only applies for personal data processed using consent or on the basis of a contract.

Right to lodge a complaint

If you consider that our processing of your personal data infringes the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Belgium Authority: Gegevensbeschermingsautoriteit (GBA), Drukpersstraat 35, 1000 Brussels.

Who do you contact in case of questions regarding this privacy policy?
