Your employer has access to information about your trajectory performance. This is necessary so that you can obtain certain benefits, such as an allowance for journeys made by bike. The employer's privacy statement applies to the use of your personal data.

It is possible that in the future your personal data may be provided to third parties that are not mentioned in this Privacy Statement. In that case We will amend this privacy statement as such and keep you informed of the changes in accordance with section 8. The legal basis for this processing is consent.
We may disclose your personal data when this is necessary to comply with a legal obligation to which We are subject, or to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of another natural person.

5. International transfer (outside the EEA) of your personal data

We will only store or transfer your personal data within the European Economic Area (the "EEA"). The EEA consists of all EU Member States plus Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein. This means that your personal data will be fully protected under the GDPR or according to equivalent legal standards.

  • C. the right to erase (‘right to be forgotten’);
  • D. the right to restriction the processing;
  • E. the right to object;

You will be kept fully informed of progress.

9.1.The right of access

You have the right to confirm whether or not We process your personal data and, where We do so, to access the personal data, along with certain additional information. This additional information includes details of the purpose of the processing, the categories of personal data concerned and the recipients of the personal data. Provided that the rights and freedoms of others are not affected, We will provide you with a copy of your personal data. The first copy will be provided free of charge, but additional copies may be provided for a reasonable fee.

9.2. The right to rectification

You have the right to have inaccurate personal data about you corrected and, taking into account the purposes of the processing, to have incomplete personal data about you completed.

9.3. The right to erasure (‘right to be forgotten’)

In some cases, you have the right to have your personal data erased without undue delay. These circumstances include: the personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed; you withdraw your consent to the processing based on consent; you object to the processing according to certain rules of applicable data protection law; the processing is for direct marketing purposes; and the personal data have been processed unlawfully.

In some cases, you have the right to restrict the processing of your personal data.

We may continue to store your personal data. However, We will only process it by other means: with your consent; to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; to protect the rights of another natural or legal person; or for reasons of important public interest.

9.5.The right to object

You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data for reasons related to your specific situation, but only to the extent that the legal basis for the processing is that the processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by Us or by a third party. If you make such an objection, We will no longer process the personal data unless We can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or that the processing is intended to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

In addition, you have the right to object to our processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes (including profiling for direct marketing purposes). If you object, We will stop processing your personal data for this purpose.

Furthermore, you have the right to object to our processing of your personal data for scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes for reasons related to your specific situation, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.

9.6.The right to data portability

Insofar as the legal basis for our processing of your personal data is based on:

  • (a) consent; or
  • (b) that the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or for taking action at your request before you enter into a contract, and that such processing is carried out automatically, you have the right to receive your personal data from Us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. However, this right does not apply where it would compromise the rights and freedoms of others.

9.7.The right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

If you believe that our processing of your personal data violates data protection legislation (GDPR), you have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. In Belgium, the supervisory authority is the Data Protection Authority (DPA).
