  1. Data transfer to third parties

Certain personal data collected by us will be passed on to and possibly processed by third-party service providers such as our IT supplier, accountant, auditor, customers (such as Proximus, Telenet) as well as by the government (e.g. in the case of the 30bis declaration of works, electronic attendance registration or tenders for public contracts).

The employees, managers and/or representatives of the service providers or institutions mentioned above and the specialised service providers appointed by them must respect the confidential nature of your personal data and may only use the data for the purposes for which it was provided.

If necessary, your personal data may be transferred to other third parties. This could be the case, for example, if we were to undergo a partial or comprehensive reorganisation, if our operations were transferred or if we were declared bankrupt. Personal data may also need to be transferred pursuant to a court order or to comply with a particular legal obligation. In that case, we will make reasonable efforts to inform you in advance of the transfer to other third parties. However, you must be aware and understand that in certain circumstances this may not always be technically or commercially feasible or that legal restrictions may apply.

 

We will not sell your personal data or make it available commercially to direct marketing agencies or similar service providers, under any circumstances whatsoever, except with your prior consent.

Jacops NV cannot be held liable under any circumstances whatsoever for any direct or indirect damage resulting from erroneous or unlawful use of the personal data by a third party.

 

  1. Third-party access

For the purpose of processing your personal data, we grant access to your personal data to our employees, associates and appointees. We guarantee a similar level of protection by imposing binding contractual obligations on these employees, associates and appointees, which are similar to this Data Protection Notice.
