1. Why do we have this privacy statement?

Each person who visits the Website (the “Visitor”) and also anyone who uses our services (the “Customer”) almost unavoidably gives out certain items of personal data. This personal data makes up information that allows us to identify you as a natural person, regardless of whether we actually do so. You are identifiable as soon as it is possible to create a direct or indirect link between one or more items of personal data and you as a natural person. The Visitor and the Customer will also be jointly referred to as the “Data Subject.”

We use and process your personal data in accordance with the GDPR and other relevant legal provisions. Any reference in this Privacy Statement to the GDPR is a reference to the EU Regulation of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (General Data Protection Regulation).

Each Data Subject is informed of the processing activities that Intergem may perform on their personal data through this Privacy Statement. Intergem retains the right to amend this Privacy Statement at all times. Every substantial amendment will be communicated in a clear manner to the Data Subject. We recommend that the Data Subject consults this document on a regular basis.

2. Who processes your personal data?

2.1. Controller

Intergem determines which personal data is collected from the Data Subject, and also the purpose and means of processing this personal data. Consequently, Intergem is a “Controller” within the meaning of the GDPR.

Intergem has taken appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect the personal data of its Visitors and Customers. Intergem uses a variety of effective protection technologies and procedures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, use or disclosure. Intergem ensures that the personal data provided is kept securely in a controlled environment.

2.2. Processor(s)

Intergem uses carefully selected “Processors” for the processing of the personal data of Visitors and Customers. A Processor is a natural person or legal entity who processes that personal data at the request of, or on behalf of, the Controller. The Processor is under the obligation to safeguard the security and confidentiality of the personal data. The Processor will always act in accordance with the instructions from the Controller.

Intergem uses the following categories of “Processors”:

  • Companies that we have engaged for the purposes of marketing;
  • Companies that we have engaged for the purposes of technical IT support and hosting;

  • Companies that we have engaged for analytical purposes

Intergem has made the necessary contractual agreements with the aforementioned Processors with a view to the optimal protection of the personal data of the Data Subjects to ensure that they apply the same high standards as those applied by Intergem.

Personal Data may only be transmitted to a Processor outside the European Economic Area (EEA) in countries where the Belgian Data Protection Authority has established that the same appropriate level of protection is provided, or where this is not the case, where Intergem has entered into the necessary contractual agreements with this Processor, with due regard to the standard provisions imposed by the Data Protection Authority in Belgium.
