4. Processing and transfer of personal data – How is my data used?

  • Your consent: When you consent to the processing of your personal data, Be Greator may therefore process it.

  • Pursuit of a legitimate interest: processing may be necessary for a legitimate interest.

For example, business prospecting is considered a legitimate interest.

The company may collect and process personal data for certain specific purposes. The company will ensure that only necessary and relevant personal data is processed.

Consent can be collected, for example, through a 'ticking' of a box. This box is a request for consent for us to process your personal data.

Where we have obtained your consent, we may process your personal data in different situations and for different purposes:

  • To ensure that we respond to your enquiries: when you contact us about our Website, web app or any other product, we use the data we have collected from an event or email alert you have subscribed to to respond to you;
  • In order to send you emails based on the notifications you wish to receive: you can subscribe and unsubscribe via the 'notification centre' in your settings. This allows you to manage the information we send according to your interests;
  • To contact you to evaluate our services, for example as part of a satisfaction survey;
  • To personalise our services and contacts so thaat you have a better understanding of our services. For example, based on your profile and interests, we use your data to provide you with more personalised services.

5.1.1 Notification Center

As mentioned above, Be Greator attaches great importance to respecting your privacy. To this end, we have provided you with a notification center accessible via our web site (in the form of a round tab at the bottom left of the screen). This center should allow you to control the information we send you. Via this interface, you will have the possibility to choose the processing that we can carry out on your personal data. You will have direct control over your personal data that will allow you to update it.

5.1.2 Withdrawal of consent

You are of course free to withdraw your consent regarding our various services. This withdrawal will be done via the notification center as simply as when you provided it. Another possibility is to withdraw your consent via the 'unsubscribe' link that is below our communications.

5.2 In the context of our legitimate interests

The concept of legitimate interest is specific to each company according to its activities and needs. Nevertheless, a fair balance must be struck between those interests and the rights and freedoms.

As one of our company's goals is to support consultants in their learning and development journey, we have developed partnerships with training centers to offer training to our community. Therefore, and in order to continue to offer these trainings through our web platform and other sources of information, we must ensure the visibility of our partners. This visibility takes many forms and includes advertising insertions in our email alerts and on our platform.

5.2.1 Withdrawal of consent

The GDPR requires that when we process your personal data, we balance your rights and interests with our legitimate interests. It is important that you understand why we believe we can process your personal data based on our legitimate interests. For this, we would like to inform you about the different criteria we use to believe that we can process your personal data based on our legitimate interests. The purposes for which we process your data based on our legitimate interests are:

  • Identifying and managing users on our Website;
  • Personalizing our services according to your profile and interests;
  • Prospecting and prospect management;
  • The elaboration of studies, models (risk, marketing and others) and statistics, by favoring anonymisation and/or pseudonymisation techniques;
  • The preservation of the security of goods and persons, the fight against fraud or attempted intrusion, abuse or other offences;
  • Training our staff by using real-life situations for illustration purposes (using data anonymisation techniques where possible);
  • Analysis of your previous searches to better tailor our service offerings to your preferences and interests;
  • To improve the quality of service for people who have an account on our website or who have subscribed to an alert and who are not bound by a contract;
  • Keeping a list of consultants who no longer wish to be contacted;
  • Improving existing services and the user experience of our Website;
  • To manage your requests related to the application of your rights;
  • To recognise, exercise, defend and preserve our rights.

5.2.2 Future treatment and compatibility with current treatment

In the event that we carry out processing for purposes not already set out in this policy, we may use your personal data for as long as those purposes are compatible with the purposes for which we originally collected the data. In doing so, we will take into account, among other things, any relationship between the original purposes, the subsequent purposes and the context in which the data was collected (our relationship, the nature of the data and the consequences for you). If we consider that the purposes are not compatible with the original purposes, we will contact you before processing the data for the new purposes so that you can consent to it or not.

6 Profiling and automated processing

In order to ensure a better user experience, we may use profiling techniques in order to be able to associate personal data with different preferences. Profiling consists of any form of automated processing of personal data consisting in the use of such data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, to analyse or predict elements relating to professional performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, the location or movements of that natural person. In cases where we may use your personal data to carry out profiling, no decision with legal effects or significant impact will be taken based on such processing. If you believe that you are the subject of a decision based solely on an automated process, you can therefore object to this as indicated below.

7 Recommendations

Through our Website, your relations have the possibility to share our content with you. For example, via our Website, your acquaintances may share with you a job description if they think you might be interested. In this case, they provide us with some of your personal data (including your email address, for example) so that we can send you the information. For this purpose, we keep this data in our database so that we can contact you if your acquaintances request it. If you are already in our database, we will add this information to your customer profile. If you are not on our database, we will simply keep the information you have provided.

8 Retention time for personal data – How long do we keep your data?

We take care not to keep your personal data longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected. Specifically, there are several situations in which we may determine how long we keep your personal data:

  • If you are registered on our Website and our email alerts: we keep your personal data for the duration of your registration in order to offer you the best possible service and to inform you of news related to our services;
  • You have unsubscribed from our Website and/or e-mail alerts: in this case, we keep your data for three years from the date of your unsubscription.

At the end of the retention period, we will make every effort to ensure that the personal data is made unavailable and inaccessible.

9 Changes to the Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to make changes to our privacy policy at any time. Should this occur, you will be notified in advance by posting a notice on our home page of the Website. To this end, it is your responsibility to check this page regularly to stay informed of the steps we are taking to respect your right to privacy.

YOUR RIGHTS AND PROCEDURES UNDER THE GDPR

What are your rights under the GDPR in terms of personal data protection?

Various rights are enshrined under the Regulation and must be respected. You therefore benefit from various prerogatives, such as:

  • The right to withdraw your consent: your consent may be withdrawn at any time. This will not affect the lawfulness of the processing based on this consent that will have been given before the withdrawal.
  • The right of access to your data: you have the right to request confirmation as to whether or not your personal data is being processed and to request details of the data being processed, our purposes and the recipients of your data. You may also request a copy of any personal data we process about you.
  • The right to rectify your data: you have the right to request that inaccurate or incomplete data be corrected or completed at any time.
  • The right to erasure ('right to be forgotten'): you can obtain the erasure of your personal data for various reasons :
    • The data may no longer be necessary for the purpose of the processing;
    • You may decide to withdraw your consent to the processing of your data, even though we base this processing solely on the legal basis of your consent;
    • You can object to the processing;
    • We have processed your personal data unlawfully;
    • In the event that the data we hold is incomplete, inaccurate or out of date;
    • We need to erase your personal data to comply with a legal obligation (under EU or Member State law) to which we are subject.
  • Please note that some services may no longer be accessible or can no longer be provided if you request the deletion of certain personal data that is required.
  • The right to restriction of processing: you have the right to object to the processing of your data at any time, unless there are legitimate grounds for the processing which override your own (for example, in the exercise of a right or our legal defence).
  • The right to data portability: in the context of processing on the basis of a contract or your consent and the processing is automated, you can ask us to transfer all or part of your personal data.
  • The right to restriction of processing: in certain cases, you may also ask us to restrict the processing of your personal data. The situations in which you can ask us to limit the processing of your personal data are as follows:
    • If you dispute the accuracy of personal data when we can verify the accuracy of that data;
    • If we process your personal data unlawfully and you prefer that we restrict this processing rather than the erasure of your personal data.
  • Of course, if the restriction of processing is no longer applicable, we will inform you.
  • The right to object: as mentioned above, we ask for your consent to send you commercial information, advertisements or personalised proposals (through direct marketing or e-mail alerts). You therefore have the right, if you do not wish or no longer wish us to send you such communications, to object to the processing of your personal data for these purposes.
  • The right not to be subject to automated processing, including profiling: you have the right not to be subject to a decision that has legal effects or significantly impacts you, based on a fully automated decision (without any human intervention). Note that such decisions are possible if they are necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and us or if you have explicitly consented to them. In addition, if the law allows us to do so, we may take to process your data in an automated way. However, at Be Greator we make every effort to ensure that no such decisions are made. If you feel that you have been the subject of such a decision, please contact us so that we can get back to you with an explanation.

How to exercise your rights?

If you so wish, you have the right to lodge a complaint or appeal on account of the way in which your personal data is processed with the competent Data Protection Authority of the country of the European Union in which you reside, work or in which you consider that a violation of your rights has occurred. You can therefore exercise your rights to protection of personal data and respect for the right to privacy by contacting us at leila@begreator.com or by contacting the competent entity in this respect.

In order to assist you in asserting your rights, we may ask you to verify your request with additional information (to the extent that we cannot identify you with the information we have). For example, we may ask you for a copy of your identity card for this purpose.

We undertake to reply as soon as possible, and at the latest within one month of your request. However, we may have to extend this period to two months if your request appears to be complex and we are faced with an excess of requests. If such a situation occurs, we will inform you of the reasons for our delay.

As this Privacy and Cookie Policy is administered, interpreted and enforced in accordance with Belgian law, the latter applies exclusively to any potential and future disputes. The court designated as competent will therefore be the court of Be Greator's registered office for any type of disagreement that may arise from the interpretation or execution of this privacy policy.
