• Some processing may be carried out in the legitimate interest of the company. In some cases, the processing of personal data is not required by a legal requirement, by our contract or by consent. We nevertheless believe that we have an interest in processing personal data that overrides individual privacy rights.
  • We naturally collect general and statistical data (e.g. IP address, assumed place of consultation, time and day of consultation, which pages were visited) on the use of our services and the Website, for example to detect and prevent fraud, errors, bugs, and/or criminal behaviour, but also to optimise the use of our Website and to generate aggregate and statistical data about our Website.
    We make sure that this data has the least possible impact on your privacy and take all necessary measures to protect it.

We wish to protect your privacy as much as possible. In that context, we want to limit the sharing of your data with third parties to a minimum.

There are contractual agreements within the company that provide a limited access to personal data to those persons who are authorized to do so because of their position. In addition, we have strict internal guidelines regarding the security and confidentiality of data, including your personal data.

We can share your data with the following third parties:

• Competent authorities when required to do so by law as a result of legal or court proceedings;
• For national security, law enforcement or other issues of public importance;
• If reasonably necessary to enforce our terms and conditions to protect our business or visitors;
• Third party service providers acting as “processors” on behalf of our company; in this case, the company will always ensure that it has the necessary (contractual) safeguards in place to ensure that the service provider has put in place appropriate privacy measures (including any transfer of data to countries outside the European Economic Area);
• At your request, for example when you use products or services that require us to share data with third parties;
• Companies within our corporate group, when this is necessary for the performance of the contract (e.g. customer management) or to fulfil your specific request;
• In the event of a reorganisation, merger or sale, we may transfer any personal data we collect to the relevant third party.

If we do transfer your data to countries outside the European Economic Area, we will always make sure to provide appropriate safeguards.

The Website may provide links to third party websites or (social media) platforms. Please note that when you click on these links, the general terms and conditions, privacy provisions and other contractual provisions of those third parties will apply. We recommend that you read them carefully. We do not take any responsibility in this respect and you enter / use this website and / or platforms at your own risk.

During a visit to the Website, cookies or other tracking tools may be placed on your device. A cookie is a text file that is placed by a website server in your computer’s browser or on your mobile device when you consult a website.

Our Cookie Policy gives a more detailed explanation about our use of cookies (e.g. which cookies are used, their purposes, how to remove them, etc.) and can be viewed via this link.

We take the security of your personal data very seriously. We secure your personal data during transmission and “at rest”. If your personal data is held on company premises, we use computer systems with limited access in locations with physical security measures.

If you want to adjust your data, you can always contact us (see also article 7 of this Privacy Policy).

We will retain your personal data for the period necessary to fulfil the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Data for which you have given your consent, as well as those that are processed based on the legitimate interests of our company, will be deleted periodically, taking into account the specific circumstances and the applicable limitation periods.

The privacy legislation determines a number of legal rights that you can exercise as an individual, under certain circumstances and under certain conditions. More specifically, it concerns the following rights:

• right of access
• right to rectification
• right to erasure
• right to object to processing
• right to data portability.
• right to restriction of processing
• right not to be subject to automatic decisions, such as profiling
• right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority

Our company and its employees take all questions regarding privacy seriously, and we will deal with them promptly. In order to streamline this process, we ask you to email us at privacy@novellashealthcare.com when you request to exercise your rights. You may also contact us in any other way. We do reserve the right to check the identity of the requester at all times.

In certain cases, we may refuse requests that are, for example, very unclear or suspicious, jeopardise the privacy of others, are extremely impractical, etc. We will always act in line with the rules of the game. In doing so, we always act in line with the prevailing legislation…

For those cases where we process your personal data based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw the consent at any time, without prejudice to the lawfulness of the processing based on the consent before the withdrawal.

You always have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority at any time. In Belgium, this is the Data Protection Authority (Drukpersstraat 35, 1000 Brussel; T: +32 (0)2 274 48 00; E: contact@apd-gba.be W:  www.dataprotectionauthority.be/citizen). Of course, we always prefer to try to find a solution first!

The data you provide must be accurate and complete. If this is not the case, the company reserves the right to take the measures it deems appropriate. Furthermore, you expressly confirm that you have obtained all necessary rights and consents to provide us with the information you send us, and you indemnify us against any damage and/or liability arising from failure to comply with this obligation.

If you have any further questions, please contact us using the contact details at the top of this Privacy Policy.
