The registration and use of the application BrightAnalytics implies the collection and processing of personal data. The concept of personal data consists of data that permit us to identify a natural person, either directly or indirectly and regardless whether this is done.
The applicable privacy legislation, and more particular the Belgian law of 8 december 1992 on the protection of privacy (Privacy Act), considers strict conditions on to the collection and processing of personal data. This privacy statement constitutes an implementation of the information obligations of article 9 Privacy Act.
We assume that each Licensee is aware of and explicitly accepts the application of this Privacy Statement upon his use of the Application and our services.
Our Privacy Policy may be subject to future adjustments and changes, which will be made clear via the Privacy Statement. It is up to the Licensee to take account of this document. Every substantial change will always be clearly communicated.
The Privacy Act draws a distinction between a ‘data controller’ and a ‘data processor’. The distinction is fairly important in order to avoid some ambiguity about responsibilities.
The data controller is every natural person and/or legal entity that determines the purposes and the means (legal and technical) of the processing of personal data. This determination can be done alone or jointly with others. We determine two data controllers:
BRIGHTANALYTICS BV (Referred to as “BRIGHTANALYTICS”)
Bruggesteenweg 311A / 2.2
8830 HOOGLEDE
Belgium
Enterprise number BTW BE-0555.899.773.
Tel.: +32 (0)51 43 74 70
Email: hello@brightanalytics.eu
BRIGHTANALYTICS bears only a responsibility as data controller with regard to the personal data that is discussed in article 2 of the privacy statement.
THE LICENSEE: The Licensee is eligible as a Data Controller in accordance with the privacy act because he (indirectly) processes personal data of his clients and third parties by means of our Application. The Licensee determines the data that will be processed via our Application and this data may include third party personal data. The Licensee is, consequently, responsible for the lawful processing of the personal data.
The co-existence of several data controllers does not prevent the exclusive responsibility of only one data controller for an accountable deficiency. In this case, the responsible data controller is obliged to indemnify the other data controller(s) against all claims of third parties that may be set because of a violation of the law on protection of personal data and/or other legislation concerning the processing of personal data which is not attributable to this data controller.
The data processor is a natural person or legal entities that processes the personal data on behalf of the data controller. The persons who, under the direct authority of the party responsible for the processing, are authorized to process the data do not fall within this category.
The data controller has carefully selected these data processors. The selected processors offer notably all the adequate guarantees with regard to technical and organizational security measures regarding the processing of your personal data. They also satisfy all the other requirements of Article 16, §1 Privacy Act.
The controller is not responsible for any loss or corruption of personal data, identity theft, data theft, viruses or Trojans, SQL injections or other attacks on computer systems or online cloud portals. The processors have gained professional expertise in their domain and decide therefore in an autonomous manner over the most technically appropriate application to process the data. The data controller is not expected to have the same expertise and speciality.
BRIGHTANALYTICS is only designated as a data processor for the data processing under the responsibility of the Licensee as the data controller via our Application.
