The purpose of this Charter is to inform visitors to the website hosted at https://www.la-terrasse.be (hereinafter referred to as the “website”) of the way in which data is collected and processed by the data controller.
This Charter is part of the controller’s desire to act in full transparency, in compliance with the law of 8 December 1992 on the protection of privacy with regard to the processing of personal data and Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (hereinafter referred to as the “General Data Protection Regulation”).
The data controller pays particular attention to the protection of the privacy of its users and therefore undertakes to take reasonable precautions to protect the personal data collected against loss, theft, disclosure or unauthorised use.
If the user wishes to react to any of the practices described below, he/she may contact the data controller at the postal address or the email address specified in the “contact details” section of this Charter.
