If you do not agree with processing based on legitimate interests, you may object to such processing, on grounds relating to your particular situation, by telling us exactly what processing you object to and why.

You have rights with regard to an automated decision
As a matter of principle, you have the right not to be subject to a fully automated decision based on profiling or otherwise that has legal effect or significantly affects you. We may, however, automate this type of decision if it is necessary for the conclusion/performance of a contract with us, authorised by regulation or if you have given your consent.
In any event, you have the right to contest the decision, express your point of view and request the intervention of a human being to review the decision.
Right to withdraw your consent
If you have given your consent to the processing of your personal data, you may withdraw that consent at any time.

In Belgium, this is the Data Protection Authority (Data Protection Authority – Rue de la Presse 35, 1000 Brussels – e-mail: contact@apd-gba.be)

We do not sell, rent, exchange, share or make available your personal data to third parties.
