Processing purposes and legal basis
Customer data
Within the context of our services and our activities, we collect and process the identity and contact details of our customers and clients, their staff, employees, workers and other useful contacts. The purposes for these processing operations are the execution of agreements with our customers, customer management, accounting and ‘direct marketing’ activities, such as the sending of promotional or commercial information. The legal grounds are the execution of the agreement, the fulfilment of legal and regulatory obligations (such as, for example, the 30bis declaration of work) and/or our legitimate interest.
Data from suppliers/service providers and subcontractors
We collect and process the identity and contact details of our suppliers/service providers and subcontractors, as well as their (sub-)subcontractor(s), their personnel, employees, workers and other useful contacts. The purposes of these processing operations are the implementation of this agreement, the management of the suppliers/service providers/subcontractors, the accounting and the ‘direct marketing’ activities, such as the sending of promotional or commercial information. The legal grounds are the execution of the agreement, the fulfilment of legal and regulatory obligations (such as the mandatory electronic attendance registration, the 30bis declaration of work, the attendance list or other obligations in the case of public procurement, etc.) and/or our legitimate interest (such as for direct marketing). The E-ID data or the Limosa number are also processed for the electronic attendance registration, where applicable. In the case of direct marketing activities by e-mail (such as a newsletter or an invitation to events), permission will always be requested and can also be withdrawn at any time.
Data of personnel
We process the personal data of our staff within the context of our personnel policy and the payroll administration. In view of its specific nature, this processing is more extensively regulated in a Data Protection Policy for Employees.

The legal basis is our legitimate interest or, in some cases, the implementation of an agreement.

However, we cannot really check whether a visitor is older than 16. We encourage parents to become involved in the online activities of their children, in order to prevent data about children being collected without parental consent.
