NOTICE TO CUSTOMERS REGARDING PRIVACY AND DATA PROTECTION 

EXKI S.A., of which the registered office is located at 1000 Brussels, Stéphanie Plaza, 54 avenue Louise, and business number is 0472.429.986, acting as data controller, handles and uses personal data relating to its customers (hereafter referred to as « Customers »), in accordance with applicable data protection regulations, in particular the European Regulation 2016/679 of 27 April 2016 known as the General Data Protection Regulation (hereafter referred to as the « GDPR »).

This notice regarding privacy and data protection aims to explain why and how EXKi collects personal data on its Customers (hereafter referred to as « Customer Data »), how it protects the data and for how long it is stored. This notice is served without prejudice to any specific provisions contained in other documents.  

1 Why does EXKI process Customer Data?

EXKI stores and processes Customer Data, electronically or otherwise, for administrative, marketing and customer management purposes, including but not limited to: handling and responding to all communications or to requests or enquiries from Customers (including via the website) or following an initial contact with EXKi; processing information on actual or potential online sales of EXKi products and/or services and sending account statements and invoices to Customers; providing Customers with information letters or other marketing communications; conducting customer surveys or marketing research to improve EXKi products and/or services; and resolving conflicts. 

2 What are the legal grounds for the processing of Customer Data? 

Customer Data is processed on the basis of one or more of the following legal grounds: 

• Concluding and managing the execution of a sales contract or other contract with a Customer, including the invoicing process,

• Compliance with all applicable legal requirements (for example, regarding tax administration, etc.),

• Furthering the legitimate interests of EXKi and/or a third party that EXKi believes will also benefit the Customers, including but not limited to, direct marketing or data analysis,

• Obtaining Customer consent (for example, to respond to a customer satisfaction survey). The Customer may withdraw their consent at any time, although such a withdrawal will not affect the legality of the processing that has taken place before the withdrawal of consent.  

3 What categories of Customer Data are processed? 

Customer Data comprises all personal information related to an identified or identifiable legal person. 

For the above-mentioned purposes, the processing of personal data may include the following categories:

• Personal identification data, such as name and address, 

• Electronic identification data, such as email address and telephone number, 

• Personal details, such as date of birth, language, nationality and gender,

• Consumer behaviours (order volumes, sales history, etc.),

• Event participation (including family members),

• Survey data.

4 From where is the Customer Data collected? 

When a Customer contacts EXKi, the initial data is generally collected from the Customer directly or indirectly following their visit to our website (for example, via cookies). EXKi may also contact a Customer for promotional purposes when the initial data has not been obtained directly from them but from other people who have transmitted the data to EXKi.  As part of their relationship with EXKI, the Customer will provide EXKi with additional information (for example, information required for the purchase order). If the Customer does not provide EXKi with the information required by law or contract, EXKi has the right to refuse to accept any requests or orders made by the Customer. Equally, if the Customer does not provide other information, they will not be able to benefit from any associated advantages. For example, if a Customer does not wish to share their email address with EXKi, they will not receive any electronic information letters from EXKi.

EXKI may also receive Customer related information from other customers, suppliers or, more generally, from other people with whom the Customer has exchanged data regarding their relationship with EXKi.

5 Who has access to Customer Data? 

For the above-mentioned purposes, personal data may be disclosed to, and even processed by: 

• The Customers themselves,

• EXKi employees who need to know relevant personal data, 

• Individuals and legal entities who are in direct contact with EXKi, such as subsidiaries or franchisees,

• Public authorities in accordance with relevant regulations, such as tax authorities, 

• Service providers (for example, for website maintenance, assistance with marketing campaigns, etc.) and other professional advisors to EXKi who need to know the information.

6 Is the Customer Data transferred outside of the country of residence?

This data is generally stored in Belgium, but we may transfer certain Customer Data abroad but always in connection with the management of our activities. In the event of the transfer of data outside the European Union, EXKi will have put in place the relevant guarantees in accordance with the GDPR. 

7 For how long is the Customer Data stored? 

Customer Data is stored no longer than necessary for the above-mentioned purposes. 

Data that is transferred relating to customer feedback or enquiries is stored for 1 month after we have responded.

Data that is transferred indirectly by our system is stored for 1 month after the visit to the website. 

Data that is transferred relating to online ordering via our website is stored for 12 months.

Other Customer Data is stored when EXKi has a legal responsibility for which the use of Customer Data is appropriate, in accordance with the applicable retention periods and legal requirements for data retention.  

8 How is Customer Data protected? 

EXKI makes every possible effort to store and protect Customer Data against loss, disclosure or unauthorized access. 

9 What are the rights of the individual and who can they contact? 

Individuals whose personal data is collected and processed as Customer Data have the right to contact EXKi at any time, as long as they have sufficient proof of identity, if they wish to:

• Access, amend or delete their personal data, 

• Restrict or oppose the processing of their personal data (for example, for direct marketing purposes),

• Receive the data they have supplied in a structured, currently used format that is readable by machine, and transfer it to another data controller, providing it has been processed with their consent and/or for the execution of a contract,

• Receive additional information on the guarantees in the event of international transfer of data, 

• Lodge a complaint with the Belgian Data Protection Authority or other EU data protection authority, if they believe that EXKi has not acted in accordance with applicable data protection regulations.  

Should you require further information on these rights, please contact EXKI:

• By email (privacy@EXKi.com), or 

• By post (EXKi SA, Stéphanie Plaza, 54 avenue Louise, 1000 Brussels)
