Why do we process your personal data?
We generally collect your personal data in the course of our activities, when you contact us or request information from us, or when you use our services.
We process your personal data for various purposes. For each purpose, only the data that is relevant to achieving that purpose is processed. Your personal data may be processed for the following purposes:
To establish, perform and manage the contractual relationship with you;
To provide services;
To respond to information requests;
As part of any marketing and promotional activities offered to you, provided that you have given your consent;

For any other purpose to which you have expressly consented.
Your personal data may then be processed on one or more of the following legal bases:
Performance of a contract: Esset must collect certain data in order to respond to your requests. If you choose not to share this data with Esset, this may make the performance of the contract impossible;
Your consent;
Compliance with legal and regulatory obligations (record-keeping obligations, sector-specific regulations, etc.);
Esset’s legitimate interest: Esset has a legitimate interest in interacting with you, responding to your requests and, above all, improving its services, preventing abuse and fraud, and exercising, defending and safeguarding its rights, unless such interests are overridden by your interests or your fundamental rights and freedoms requiring the protection of your personal data.
If the legal basis for processing is your consent, you have the right to withdraw it at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out prior to the withdrawal of consent.
With regard to personal data processed for direct marketing purposes, you may unsubscribe at any time from the newsletter and other commercial communications via the unsubscribe links included in each marketing communication, or by sending us an email at privacy@esset-pm.be.
With whom do we share your data?
Our employees and subcontractors only have access to your data to the extent necessary to perform the services and achieve the purposes pursued (as outlined above). Each of them is bound by a strict duty of confidentiality.
We may share your personal data with certain trusted third parties in accordance with the contractual arrangements in place with them. This includes in particular:
Our advisers and professional auditors, including supervisory authorities;
Service providers to whom we outsource certain services.
Please note that the list above is not exhaustive and that there may be other situations in which we are required to share/transfer your personal data with/to other third parties in order to provide our services as efficiently as possible.
Your data is shared with third parties only to the extent that such information is necessary for the performance of a contract. In such cases, third parties will only disclose the data to other third parties where this is necessary for the performance of the contract or where they are required to do so by law.
How long do we retain your data?
We only retain your personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected.
Esset retains personal data where necessary to assert its rights or defend itself against legal claims, until the end of the applicable retention period or until such claims have been fully resolved.
Once these objectives have been achieved, all personal data is deleted or anonymised.
How is your data secured?
Esset implements appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against destruction, loss, alteration or any unauthorised processing. These protective measures are regularly adapted in line with technological developments and organisational changes.
In this respect, our partners, employees, consultants, workers and subcontractors who have access to personal data are required to maintain the confidentiality of such data.
The personal data collected as part of the services offered on www.esset-pm.be are processed using secure protocols and enable ESSET BELUX to manage the requests received in its IT applications.

Right to erasure: You have the right to obtain the deletion of your personal data, except where Esset is legally required to retain certain data.

Right to data portability: You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and you have the right to request that we transfer this data to another data controller.
Right to withdraw consent: Where processing is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to the withdrawal.
