This privacy statement applies when you visit our websites or have contact with our sales and promotional staff. By visiting our websites or having contact with our sales and promotional staff, you give us permission to collect and use personal data as described in this privacy statement.

What is personal data?

The General Data Protection Regulation defines personal data as “any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person; an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.”

When this Privacy Policy refers to personal data, it refers to this definition from the Regulation.

In principle, no special categories of personal data are processed (unless, for example, the performance of the employment contract requires this). Processing of special categories of personal data means: the processing of personal data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership, and processing of genetic data, biometric data for the purpose of uniquely identifying a person, or data concerning health, or data concerning a person’s sex life or sexual orientation.

What data do we collect?

We collect your data to be able to perform, improve and inform you about our services, our activities, our promotions or products and services you have purchased. You provide some of this data directly to us, for example through forms on our website, with your business card, with your orders or in your email correspondence with us.

Or we obtain part of the data by recording how you interact with our products and services, or we obtain this data through cookies on our websites.

We distinguish different types of personal data. They allow us to present and offer our products and services:

1. User data: this allows us to identify you or contact you. For example: your name, your address, your phone number(s), your language preference, your email addresses, your participation in our actions, your use of our website;

2. Traffic data: we need this technical data to ensure our electronic communication runs smoothly, such as your IP address;

3. Sensitive data: we do not process sensitive data.

1. To handle your requests about our products and services. When you visit our websites or have contact with our sales and promotional staff to collect or request information about our products and services or when you sign up for our newsletter, for example, we need your address details. We use all information we receive about you to provide you with the requested information, in the way you indicate.

2. To offer you the best service. We keep your data to improve our customer service. If we want to properly set up, maintain and support our products and services, we need that data.

We use external processors. This includes that we temporarily pass on data to third parties for certain tasks if we do not have the means for this ourselves. If we do so, we will always ensure that your data is treated confidentially and used in a safe manner. We always record this contractually with the processors. For example, a processor may never use your data on its own initiative and your data must be deleted as soon as a processor has completed its assignment.

We may transfer your personal data to our possible successors and affiliated companies such as subsidiaries and sister companies, for the same purposes as mentioned in this privacy statement.

For some aspects of our products and services, we work with third parties or engage subcontractors. The transfer of your data only happens for the same purposes as with MRS itself. We ensure that they, just like us, manage your data safely and respectfully.

In some cases, we use anonymous, aggregated data for commercial purposes or for external reporting. This data can never be traced back to a specific individual.

If we would give personal data to third parties in other ways, this happens with explicit communication, in which explanation is given about the third party, the purposes of the transfer and processing.

Where legally required, we ask for your express consent, to comply with a court order or the order of a competent authority or in other cases permitted or required by law, or to respond to an emergency situation, or to otherwise protect the rights, property and safety of third parties, visitors to the website.

Should a data breach occur with adverse consequences for your personal data, you will be personally notified in the circumstances provided by law.

You have the right to access your data. You can ask us whether we process personal data about you; what we process them for; which categories of data we process; with which categories of third parties we share your personal data; what the origin is of the processed data and what logic we use if we would automatically process certain personal data.

You can exercise your right of access in writing, to the attention of MRS BV, Kleine Grippe 20, 2630 Aartselaar or by email to info@styleathome.be. We have 30 days to respond to your request.

You also have the right to have incomplete, incorrect, inappropriate or outdated personal data deleted or changed. For this you can always contact us via email or by post. We will then adjust this information within the legally prescribed time limits if necessary.

Please note that we sometimes, depending on your request, may no longer be able to offer you certain services. We also cannot always delete all requested data, for example because we are legally obliged to keep data for a certain period.
