Privacy policy
KPN Group Belgium complies with Belgian and EU legislation with regard to protection of personal data and privacy; this website and other websites owned by KPN Group Belgium are therefore designed and managed in accordance with said legislation.
1. Gathered data and use
When you visit the Website without registering (by login or other method) at a secure location, KPN Group Belgium does not gather personal data. However, KPN Group Belgium may register certain information (such as IP address) for statistical or administrative purposes, or for improving the Website, without this enabling personal data to be revealed or individual visitors to be identified. KPN Group Belgium registers in its database the personal data that you send when registering at a secure location on the Website. By registering, you grant KPN Group Belgium permission to gather, register and make use of your personal data in accordance with these provisions. Your data are not only used to manage your file (orders, deliveries, invoicing, etc.), but may also be used for commercial and promotional purposes (including direct marketing), amongst others via e-mail, for all BASE products, services and actions. You have the opportunity, when registering and with each communication you receive via SMS, MMS or electronic mail, to opt out of receiving future electronic promotional communications.
The data gathered may be sent to KPN Group Belgium suppliers or to other companies in the group to which BASE belongs.
2. Cookies
KPN Group Belgium uses cookies. These are information files installed automatically on the hard disk of your computer when you visit the Website and which enable better use of the Website. This enables you to benefit from personalisation of the Website (cookies enable you in particular to save your language preference and to avoid having to re-enter your information when accessing the Website, and enables KPN Group Belgium to analyse how the Website is used). KPN Group Belgium also gathers non-personalised statistical information in this way in order to optimise the Website and Services.
Automatic installation of cookies can be prevented by changing your browser settings; however, KPN Group Belgium draws your attention to the fact that preventing cookies may affect the Website's performance.
