However, AEXIS may share your data with service providers that it engages to administer the website or to perform services on behalf of AEXIS. These service providers may therefore have access to your personal data and may use it only to the extent necessary to carry out their assigned tasks.

With regard to your data, AEXIS will act in accordance with European legislation on the protection of personal data.

What are your rights and how can you exercise them?

All visitors to the Website have the right to access, copy, modify, correct and delete their data, free of charge.

What measures does AEXIS take to protect your personal data?

AEXIS uses conventional techniques in line with current technological developments to protect information shared by visitors against loss, misuse, alteration or destruction.

AEXIS has implemented several measures to safeguard your personal data, including:

- Secure corporate environment: AEXIS stores your data in secure corporate environments that are only accessible to AEXIS employees, agents and contractors on a strict need-to-know basis. AEXIS also complies with generally accepted industry standards in this regard. - Encryption of payment data: AEXIS uses industry-standard encryption to protect sensitive financial information, including credit card details transmitted via the Internet (for example when making a payment in an AEXIS online store). - Prior authentication for account access: AEXIS verifies the identity of registered users (login and password) before granting access to their account or allowing modifications. This aims to prevent access by unauthorised persons.

Please note that these safeguards do not apply to personal data shared in public areas, such as community websites.

To the extent possible, AEXIS takes all reasonable measures to ensure the confidentiality of the personal data shared by consumers. Nevertheless, each visitor must acknowledge that transmitting personal data via the Internet is never entirely risk-free. The visitor therefore acknowledges that any potential direct or indirect damage resulting from the unlawful or abusive use of personal data by unauthorised third parties cannot be attributed to AEXIS, nor can AEXIS be held liable for such damage, unless such damage has been undeniably and primarily caused by intentional misconduct or gross negligence on the part of AEXIS.

What options do you have if something goes wrong with the protection of your personal data?

In the event of a security incident affecting your personal data, AEXIS will notify the affected parties as well as the competent supervisory authority within a maximum period of 72 hours, in accordance with the GDPR.

AEXIS undertakes to take all reasonable steps to swiftly remedy the situation, limit any potential impact and continuously improve its security measures in order to prevent future incidents.

As a user, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection authority of your country:

- Belgium: Data Protection Authority — https://www.autoriteprotectiondonnees.be/

- France: Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés (CNIL) — https://www.cnil.fr/

- Netherlands: Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens — https://autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl/

You may also contact AEXIS with any questions or requests relating to your personal data.

Applicable law and disputes

This Privacy Policy is governed by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as well as by the applicable national legislation in the countries in which AEXIS operates (Belgium, France and the Netherlands).

- For AEXIS Belgium: courts of Brussels. - For AEXIS France: competent courts of Paris. - For AEXIS Netherlands: competent courts of The Hague.

An amicable settlement will be sought prior to any legal proceedings.
