Service providers – We rely on carefully selected third parties to assist us in providing the website and its related services. Your personal data is transferred to these service providers to the extent necessary to fulfil the purposes mentioned above.

When we use third-party cookies, plugins or similar technologies, your personal data will be shared with these third parties as well. Please see the sections above for each category of cookies where this may happen.

Transfer to third countries - Your personal data are transferred to countries outside the European Economic Area. We have put in place the necessary appropriate safeguards and additional measures as required by the data protection laws of the European Union, especially by putting in place the necessary agreements based on the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses.

Right of access - You have the right to request access to all the personal data that we have processed in relation to you. In order for us to grant this request, you must explain which personal data you wish to access. We reserve the right to charge an administrative fee for several consecutive requests. We also reserve the right to refuse requests that are manifestly unfounded or excessive.

Right of rectification - You have the right to request the rectification, free of charge, of personal data which are inaccurate. If a request for rectification is made, it must be accompanied by proof of the inaccuracy of the data for which rectification is requested.

Right to erasure - You have the right to request the erasure of your personal data if (a) you withdraw your consent and no other legal ground for processing remains; (b) we are obliged by law to erase them; (c) you have successfully exercised your right to object; (d) they are no longer necessary in view of the purposes described above or (e) the processing is unlawful. However, you should note that we will assess a request for deletion against:

a) our overriding interests or those of a third party, insofar as permitted by law;

b) legal or regulatory obligations or governmental or judicial orders.

Instead of deletion, you may also ask us to restrict the processing of your personal data if and when (a) you contest the accuracy of such data, (b) the processing is unlawful, or (c) the data is no longer needed for the purposes described above, but you need it to defend yourself in legal proceedings.

How to exercise your rights - If you wish to make a request to exercise one or more of the rights mentioned above, please send an e-mail to privacy@reynaers.com for all matters relating to data subjects' rights. An e-mail requesting the exercise of a right shall not be construed as consenting to the processing of your personal data insofar as such processing goes beyond what is necessary in order to process your request.

That request must clearly state and specify which right you wish to exercise and the reasons for doing so, if required by law. It must also be dated and signed, and be accompanied by a digitally scanned copy of your valid identity card proving your identity. We ask this in order to prevent unauthorised persons from abusing your rights.
