About this privacy statement

The ZORALCS-study cares about your privacy and therefore only processes data required for our services and the operation of the website. This privacy statement applies to the use of the ZORALCS-study website and the services linked to it. This privacy statement describes what data we collect about you, how it is used, and under what circumstances, if any, it may be shared with third parties. If you have any questions about this privacy statement you can contact us at info@zoralcs.be.

Personal data we process

The ZORALCS-study processes your personal data because you use our service and/or because you provide it to us yourself by, for example, using the contact form on the website. Below is an overview of the personal data we process through the website.

  • Name and first name
  • Telephone number / mobile phone number
  • Emailadres

Other and/or sensitive personal data we process

Our website does not intend to collect data on website visitors who are under 16 years of age. Unless they have parental or guardian consent. However, we cannot verify whether a visitor is older than 16. We therefore advise parents to be involved in their children’s online activities to avoid collecting data on children without parental consent. If you are convinced that we have collected personal data on a minor without such consent, please contact us and we will delete this information.

For what purpose and on what basis we process personal data

Personal data are processed on the basis of. [(a) consent], [(b) necessary for the performance of a contract], [(f) (necessary for the fulfilment of our legitimate interest to conduct business)] of the General Data Protection Regulation. Insofar as the processing of personal data takes place on the basis of Article 6.1. a) (consent), the customer always has the right to withdraw the consent given.

The ZORALCS-study collects and processes personal data for:

  • Answering queries.
  • Contacting or emailing people when necessary to carry out our services.

The ZORALCS-study also processes personal data when we are legally obliged to do so, such as data needed for our tax return.

Browsing the website provides a visitor with all necessary information without asking for or storing personal data. Nevertheless, if this is requested (e.g. via a contact form), the information obtained (see section: Personal data we process) is used solely for communication and to ensure optimal service. Under no circumstances will this data be used for commercial purposes, unless you explicitly give us permission to do so.

Automated decision-making

The ZORALCS study does not make decisions about matters that could (significantly) affect individuals on the basis of automated processing.

Automatically collected data

Data collected automatically by our website are processed with the aim of further improving our services. These data (e.g. your IP address, web browser and operating system) are not personal data.

Retention periods of personal data

Applicable legal obligations (including accounting) require us to retain invoices containing your personal data. We will therefore retain this data for as long as the applicable term runs. We will retain your data for as long as you are a participant. This means that we will retain your participant profile until you indicate that you no longer wish to use our services.

Sharing personal data with third parties

The ZORALCS-study only provides personal data to third parties if this is necessary for the performance of our agreement with you or to comply with a legal obligation. The ZORALCS-study guarantees that these recipients will take the necessary technical and organisational measures to protect the personal data.

Webhosting

We purchase web hosting and e-mail services from COMBELL. COMBELL processes personal data on our behalf and does not use your data for its own purposes. However, this party may collect metadata on the use of the services. This is not personal data. COMBELL has taken appropriate technical and organisational measures to prevent the loss and unauthorised use of your personal data. COMBELL is obligated to maintain confidentiality as stipulated in the agreement.

COMBELL has access to your data to provide us with (technical) support, they will never use your data for any other purpose. Based on the agreement we have with them, COMBELL is obliged to implement appropriate security measures. These security measures consist of the application of SSL encryption and a strong password policy. Data is backed up regularly to prevent loss of data.

Email

We use the services of COMBELL for our regular business e-mail traffic. This party has taken appropriate technical and organisational measures to prevent abuse, loss and corruption of your and our data as much as possible. However, COMBELL does not have access to our mailbox and we treat all our e-mail traffic as confidential.

Viewing, adjusting or deleting data

You have the right to inspect, correct or delete your personal data. In addition, you have the right to withdraw your possible consent to data processing or object to the processing of your personal data by the ZORALCS-study and you have the right to data portability. This means you can make a request to send the personal data we hold about you, in a computer file, either to you or another organisation of your choice.

You can send a request to view, correct, delete, data transfer of your personal data or a request to withdraw your consent or object to the processing of your personal data to info@zoralcs.be. To ensure that the request for inspection is made by you, we ask you to send a copy of your proof of identity alongside the request. In this copy, black out your passport photo, MRZ (machine readable zone, the strip of numbers at the bottom of the passport), passport number and Citizen Service Number (BSN). This is to protect your privacy. We will respond to your request as soon as possible, but certainly within four weeks.

The participant has the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection authority: Printing Press Street 35, 1000 Brussels – www.gegevensbeschermingsautoriteit.be

Right to portability

You always have the right to have the data that we process (or have processed) that relates to your person or can be traced back to that person, carried out by another party. You can submit a request to this effect to us. You will then receive a response to your request within 30 days. If your request is granted, we will send you, at the e-mail address known to us, copies or transcripts of all data about you that we have processed or have processed on our behalf by other processors or third parties. In all likelihood, we will no longer be able to continue providing services in such a case, as the secure interconnection of data files can then no longer be guaranteed.
