EUREC E.E.I.G. will use the personal data collected from you for the following purposes:

  • to send you the EUREC Newsletter if you sign up. You can always unsubscribe via the ‘unsubscribe link’ included in every e-mail campaign (sent via Mailchimp) or you may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us at info@eurec.be
  • for internal research into website and product user behavior to improve our website services

When you register to use the website you confirm that you are consenting to EUREC’s use of your personal data for the aforementioned purposes(s) and are granting EUREC E.E.I.G. permission to carry out those actions and/activities.

EUREC E.E.I.G. is committed to ensuring that all personal information collected and processed is appropriate for the stated purpose(s) and shall not constitute an invasion of your privacy. We will not share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes. We may only share your personal data with third party service providers who are contracted by us and we shall ensure that they will hold your personal data securely and shall use it only in order to fulfill the service for which they are contracted (such as EUREC website maintenance etc). When there is no longer a service need, or the contract comes to an end, the third party will dispose of all personal data according to our procedures. We will never share your personal data with third parties until we have received your consent, unless we are required do so by law.

EUREC E.E.I.G. will process your data (i.e. collect, store and use) according to the requirements of the GDPR at all times and shall endeavor to keep your personal data up-to-date, ensuring its accuracy and will not keep it for longer than it is required.

We shall never be intrusive or invasive of your personal privacy and shall not ask you to provide data that is irrelevant or unnecessary and we will enact strict measures and processes to ensure that the risk of unauthorized access or disclosure of your personal data is minimized as much as possible.
