We understand that your trust in us is the most valuable asset the company PAYIT COMM V (hereinafter “VEEPIE”, “PAYIT”, “we” or “us”) has. Your privacy is therefore of the utmost importance to us.

  • Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by PAYIT or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child

Disclosing personal data to third parties

PAYIT will not disclose your personal data to third parties, except where necessary as part of the contract and its optimization (such as but not limited to the provision of services by external service providers to PAYIT, payment processing, database management). Under this, your personal data may be disclosed to software suppliers, external IT consultants, data centers and/or cloud partners, financial institutions, insurance companies, other companies within the group, other external service providers (security firms, photographers, translation agencies, partner newsletters, other marketing partners).

Where it is necessary for PAYIT to disclose your personal data to third parties on these grounds, the third party concerned is required to use your personal data in accordance with the provisions of this Privacy Policy.

Notwithstanding the above, it is however possible that PAYIT discloses your personal data:

  • To the competent authorities (i) where PAYIT is obliged to do so by law or in the context of actual or prospective legal proceedings and (ii) to protect and defend PAYIT's rights.
  • Where PAYIT or the majority of its assets are acquired by a third party, in which case your personal data collected by PAYIT will be part of the assets transferred.

In all other cases, PAYIT will not sell, rent or pass on your personal data to third parties, unless it (i) has obtained your consent and (ii) has set up a data processing agreement with the relevant third party, which includes the necessary guarantees regarding confidentiality and processing your data in compliance with privacy requirements.

Cross-border processing of personal data

Any transfer of personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA) to someone resident or registered in a country not covered by an adequacy decision issued by the European Commission will be governed by the provisions under a data transfer agreement, which will either (i) include the standard contractual clauses as set out in the 'Decision of the European Commission of February 5, 2010 (Decision 2010/87/EC)', or (ii) provide appropriate safeguards through any other mechanism under the Privacy Legislation or any other regulations regarding the processing of personal data.

Storing personal data

Except where a longer retention period is required or justified (i) by law or (ii) for compliance with other regulations, PAYIT will only store your personal data for as long as is necessary to achieve and complete the purposes defined in this Privacy Statement under “III. Use of personal data” above.

Your rights

You have the following rights in relation to processing your personal data:

  • Right of access to your personal data;
  • Right to have inaccurate personal data rectified, or completed if it is incomplete;
  • Right to erasure of your personal data ('right to be forgotten') (PAYIT would like to point out here that certain services can no longer be provided if you delete certain necessary personal data or ask for it to be deleted);
  • Right to restrict processing of your personal data;
  • Right to portability of your personal data;
  • Right to object to processing your personal data.

If you wish to exercise your rights to privacy, please contact info@payit.be or complete the form for exercising your rights to privacy and send it to PAYIT by email or post. You can technically exercise these rights free of charge using the form mentioned above.

If you no longer wish to be sent newsletters or information about PAYIT's services, you can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” button, included at the bottom of every email from PAYIT.

Protecting your personal data

PAYIT is obliged to take appropriate and reasonable physical, technical and organizational security measures with a view to preventing (i) unauthorized or unlawful access to your personal data, as well as (ii) loss, misuse or alteration of your personal data.

PAYIT will store any personal data it has collected on-site. Backups are made by a third party (located within the EER).

Despite (i) PAYIT's security policy, (ii) the checks it carries out and (iii) the actions it adopts in this context, no level of security can be guaranteed to be infallible. No method of transmission or sharing over the internet nor any means of electronic storage is 100% secure, so PAYIT cannot guarantee absolute security in this regard.
