    Purpose

     

    Legal standing

     

    1.  To manage your Website user registration

     We process your data because this is necessary on the terms regulating the use of our Website. In other words, for you to be able to register as a user on our Website, we need to process your personal data, since we would otherwise be unable to manage your registration

     

    2.    Development, performance and making of the purchase or services contract

     We process your data because their processing is necessary for us to make the purchase or services contract with you.

    Certain processing of data related to the purchase process is activated only because you request or authorise it, as is the case of the storage of payment (card) data for future purchases. In these cases, our processing of your data is supported by your own consent.

     

    3.    Customer Support

     We consider that we have lawful interest in answering the requests or consultations raised by you through the contact channel. We understand that the processing of these data is also beneficial to you to the extent that it enables us to assist you adequately and answer to the consultations raised. 

    When you get in touch with us, in particular, for the management of incidents related to your order or the product/service acquired through our Website, the processing of your data is necessary to make the purchase contract.

    When your consultation is related to the exercise of your rights on which we inform you below, or to claims on our products or services, we are legally permitted to process your data for compliance with our legal obligations.

     

    4.    Marketing

     We are legally permitted to process your data for marketing purposes due to the consent that you give us, for example when you accept receiving customized information.

    Time for which the data are kept

    We will process your data for the time necessary to manage the purchase of the products or services that you acquired, including potential returns, complaints or claims related to the purchase of the product or service in question.

    3.    Customer Support

    We will process your data for the time necessary to meet your request or application.

     

    4.    Marketing

    We will process your data until you unsubscribe or cancel your subscription to the newsletter.

     

     

    Notwithstanding the fact that we will process your data for the time strictly necessary to achieve the purpose in question, we will subsequently keep them duly stored and protected for the time during which liability may arise for their processing, in compliance with legislation in force from time to time. Once each of the potential actions is time-barred we will proceed to delete the personal data.

     

    6. DO WE SHARE YOUR DATA WITH THIRD PARTIES?

    To achieve the purposes mentioned in this Privacy Policy, we must afford access to your personal data to third parties that provide us with support in the services that we offer your, i.e.:

    • To request us access to the data we have available on you;
    • To request us to rectify the data that we have available;
    • To request us the erasure of your personal data to the extent that they are no longer necessary for the purpose for which we need to keep processing them, as we have explained above, or when we are no longer legally permitted to process them.
    • To request us to cancel or limit the processing of your personal data, which entails that in certain cases you can request us to temporally suspend the processing of the data or that we keep them longer than necessary when you may need it.

    If you have given us your consent to process your data for any purpose, you also have the right to withdraw such consent at any time.

    When we are legally permitted to process your data due to your consent or to make the contract, as explained in section 3, you will also have the right to request the portability of your personal data. This means that you will have the right to receive the personal data that you made available to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-legible format, to be able to transmit them to another entity directly without impediments on our part.

    Finally, where the processing of your data is based on our lawful interest, you will also have the right to object to the processing of your data. 

    You may exercise your rights by contacting Authentage, either by e-mail to info@authentage.be, or by mail to 2110 ANTWERP (Belgium), Stokerijstraat 67.
