privacy statement
Even though you’re not always fully aware, as a User of our webshop one always discloses certain ‘personal data’. Personal data are those bits of information that allow us to identify you as an individual, regardless of the question whether we actually perform such processing. This will be the case as soon as one can make a direct or indirect link between one or more pieces of data and an individual.
The collection and processing of personal data is subject to strict conditions, enforced by the law. The most important law applicable is the Belgian law of 8 December 1992 for the protection of the privacy (privacy act). We attach great importance to the protection of your privacy and want to be very clear and transparent about possible processing. By consequence we have written this Privacy Statement.
