• The legal basis is the performance of a contract or your explicit, prior consent.

• Professional and/or training data:

You are not obliged to disclose your personal data, but understand that the provision of certain services becomes impossible if you refuse the processing.

Personal data may also be used for direct marketing purposes (e.g. promotions and marketing campaigns with regard to our services).

Direct marketing related to GRITT’s services may be sent to existing customers of GRITT and affiliated companies based on our legitimate interests to ensure the proper operation and growth of our business. These legitimate interests must not and will not in any case outweigh your privacy interests.

Before sending direct marketing (e.g. promotions and marketing campaigns within the scope of our services) to candidates, temporary employees and prospects, explicit consent will always be requested.

This consent may be withdrawn at any time, without justification and without charge: see Articles 5 and 10 concerning the withdrawal of your consent.

3.3 Transfer to third parties:

3.3.1 Transfer to third party service providers

GRITT may disclose your personal data to third party service providers which provide technical and operational support and to third party service providers in general (e.g. lawyers, auditors, etc.) to the extent that this is necessary for the provision of professional services and/or if it is required to do so by law or court order.

GRITT shall not sell, rent, distribute or otherwise make your personal data commercially available to third parties, except as described above.

3.3.2 Intra-group data transfers

GRITT is part of the House of HR group, which includes several companies active in the field of staffing and human resources. More information on the House of HR Group and its affiliated companies is available here:
https://www.houseofhr.com/companies.

GRITT may share the personal data it processes with other companies within the House of HR Group within the context of intra-group cooperation and/or intra-group services to improve, facilitate and simplify the activities and services of GRITT and the House of HR Group (e.g. ICT services, accounting, analyses and statistics, debtor management, direct marketing, etc.).

In certain cases, GRITT may act as a joint data controller with other companies of the House of HR Group for the processing of your personal data. This means that they will then jointly determine the purpose of and means for processing your personal data. In this case, they are jointly responsible for compliance with applicable data protection legislation. However, GRITT remains your main contact, including for exercising your rights in relation to your personal data (for more information on exercising your rights, see Article 5).

3.4 Transfer to third countries:

GRITT may transfer your personal data outside the European Economic Area to process the data in accordance with this Privacy Policy. In the event that data is transferred outside the European Economic Area to a country that does not offer an adequate level of protection, it guarantees that it will take all measures to protect your personal data, including the implementation of contractual provisions that offer sufficient guarantees in terms of data protection for the data to be transferred internationally.

3.5 Legal requirements:

In rare cases, GRITT may need to disclose your personal data in response to a court order or to comply with other mandatory laws or regulations. GRITT will make reasonable efforts to inform you in advance, unless this is subject to legal restrictions.

Article 4 – Duration of processing

Personal data will be retained and processed by us for a period of time necessary to fulfil the purposes of the processing as set out in Article 3 and to maintain the contractual relationship between GRITT and you:

• Photos and videos: for the duration of the requested provision of services.

In any case, the specified personal data shall be kept in accordance with the specific legal regulations as well as the limitation periods that oblige us to keep your personal data for a longer period, e.g. to defend ourselves against a claim in court.

Article 5 – Your rights

You have the right to request access to, limitation of, rectification or deletion of your personal data at any time. You have the right to withdraw your consent, to object to the processing of personal data or to request the transfer of such data.

You can exercise your rights by contacting us (contact details can be found in Article 10). We may always ask you to prove your identity to prevent anyone from gaining unauthorised access to your data.

GRITT is not always obliged to respond to your request to exercise your rights – your rights apply only in the cases and to the extent provided for by law.

You also have the right to complain to a supervisory authority. For Belgium, this is the Data Protection Authority, Drukpersstraat 35, 1000 Brussels, tel. +32(0)2 274 48 00 or fax +32(0)2 274 48 35, contact@adp-gba.be, https://www.gegevensbeschermingsautoriteit.be/contact.

Article 6 – Security and confidentiality

We have developed technically and organisationally appropriate security measures to avoid the destruction, loss, falsification, alteration, unauthorised access or accidental disclosure to third parties of personal data, as well as any other unauthorised processing of such data.

To process your personal data, we provide access to your personal data to our employees.

We guarantee a similar level of protection by making contractual obligations – similar to this Privacy Policy – enforceable vis-a-vis our employees and appointees. In concrete terms, this means that our employees and appointees are bound by confidentiality and that only those who are necessary for the performance of their position have access to your personal data.
