Introduction
- We are committed to safeguarding of our website visitors and service users; in this policy we explain how we will handle your personal data
- By using our website and agreeing to this policy, you consent to our use of cookies in accordance with the terms of this policy.
- Who is protected by this policy
This privacy and cookies policy applies to all “personal data” as referred to under the General Data Protection Regulation (2016/679) that we process as the data controller. It applies to the processing of the personal data of our users in connections with our website and services. - What does processing of personal data mean and who is responsible for this
By “processing personal data” it is meant any processing of data that could be used to identify a natural person. The term “processing” is understood in a very broad meaning, and covers, among others aspects, the collection, recording, organizing, saving, updating, modifying, retrieving, consulting, using, distributing or making available of data in any way whatsoever, as well as putting together, combining, archiving, deleting or eventually destroying that data. - EFIM IVZW with registered office at Grensstraat 7, 1831 Diegem, Belgium and registered with the Crossroads Bank for Enterprises under number BE 0458 833 358 is the data controller of the personal data. This means that EFIM determines the purpose and the resources for the processing of your personal data.
- Through our services, you might also use services provided by other parties. EFIM has no control over the information you provide to such third parties, or how this is processed, and EFIM has no responsibility in this respect.
How we use your personal data
- In this Section 2 we have set out:
- the general categories of personal data that we may process;
- the purposes for which we may process personal data; and
- the legal bases of the processing.
- the nature of personal data that is processed.
- We may process data about your use of our website and services (“usage data“). The usage data may include your IP address, geographical location, browser type and version, operating system, referral source, length of visit, page views and website navigation paths, as well as information about the timing, frequency and pattern of your service use. This usage data may be processed for the purposes of analysing the use of the website and services. The legal basis for this processing is consent that we collect via the website – “cookies’ acceptance” confirmation.
- We may process your account/member data (“account data“). The account data may include your name, job description/function, country and email address. The account data may be processed for the purposes of administration and management of relations, operating our website, providing our services, ensuring the security of our website and services, maintaining back-ups of our databases and communicating with you. The legal basis for this processing is consent. We need to know basic information about you in order to provide you with the EFIM’s services you have trusted us to provide and the possible transactions and data treatment these processes involve, as per the agreement EFIM has with you as a legal entity.
- We may process your information included in your personal profile on our website (“profile data“). The profile data may include your name, country, job description, email address and profile picture.

The notification data may be processed for the purposes of sending you the relevant notifications and/or newsletters. The legal basis for this processing is consent.

We permanently assess and monitor all processes involved and ensure that our service providers are equally GDPR compliant with regards to your data treatment.

International transfers of your personal data
- We as an association have the main office in Belgium. The European Commission has made an “adequacy decision” with respect to the data protection laws of each of the EU countries. Transfers to each of these countries will be protected by appropriate safeguards, namely the use of standard data protection clauses adopted or approved by the European Commission.
- You acknowledge that personal data that you submit for publication through our website or services may be available, via the internet, around the world. We cannot prevent the use (or misuse) of such personal data by others. Nevertheless we have made sure that your data is stored in servers situated in the European Union and we clearly identified our service providers who may be processing your data and required a warranty of GDPR compliance with regards to these data treatment processes.
