If this is necessary to conclude or fulfil a contractual agreement or if you have provided your consent, we may transfer your data to third parties (e.g. to process your order). Should data be passed on to service providers and/or affiliated companies in the processing of an order, these enterprises are also obligated to adhere to data protection regulations applicable in Belgium and to abide by our instructions.
Data transfers to third countries are performed in the operation of IT systems and only to the extent that a) such transfer is in principle permissible and b) the special preconditions for transfer to a third country are present, in particular the importer of the data guarantees an appropriate level of data protection in accordance with the EU standard contractual clauses for the transfer of personal data to processors in third countries. The provisions of General Data Protection Regulation serve as the foundations.
