13. Security measures in the event of subcontracting

When a processing operation is to be carried out on behalf of a controller, FEELIN only uses processors who provide sufficient guarantees that appropriate technical and organizational measures will be implemented to ensure that the processing operation meets the requirements of this Policy and guarantees the protection of your rights.

The subcontractor does not recruit another subcontractor without the prior, written, specific or general, from FEELIN. In the case of a general written authorization, the subcontractor shall inform FEELIN of any planned changes regarding the addition or replacement of other subcontractors, thereby giving FEELIN the opportunity to object to such changes.

Processing by a processor is governed by a contract or other ad hoc legal act, which binds the processor to FEELIN, defines the purpose and duration of the processing, the nature and purpose of the processing, the type of Personal data and the categories of persons concerned, and FEELIN obligations and rights.

This contract or other legal act provides, in particular, that the subcontractor:

(a) processes Personal data only on FEELIN documented instructions, including transfers of Personal data to a third country or international organization, unless it is required to do so under Union law or the law of the Member State to which the processor is subject; in this case, the processor shall inform FEELIN of this legal obligation before processing, unless the law concerned prohibits such information on important grounds of public interest;

(b) ensure that persons authorized to process Personal data undertake to respect confidentiality or are subject to an appropriate legal obligation of confidentiality;

(d) complies with the conditions referred to in the preceding paragraphs for recruiting another subcontractor;

(e) take into account the nature of the processing operation, and shall assist FEELIN, through appropriate technical and organizational measures, to the greatest extent possible, in fulfilling its obligation to comply with requests submitted by the data subjects in order to exercise their rights;

(f) assist FEELIN in ensuring compliance with the obligations laid down, considering the nature of the processing and the information available to the data processor;

g) at FEELIN’ option, deletes all Personal data or returns them to the controller at the end of the processing service and destroys existing copies, unless Union law or the law of the Member State requires the retention of the Personal data; and,

(h) make available to FEELIN all information necessary to demonstrate compliance with the obligations under this Article and to enable audits, including inspections, to be carried out by FEELIN or another auditor it has appointed, and to contribute to such audits.

To this end, the subcontractor shall immediately inform FEELIN in writing if, in its opinion, an instruction constitutes a breach of this Policy or other provisions of Union law or of the law of the Member States relating to data protection.

When a FEELIN processor recruits another processor to carry out specific processing activities on behalf of FEELIN, the same data protection obligations as those attached to the contract or other legal act between the controller and the processor, are imposed on such other processor by contract or by another legal act under Union law or the law of a Member State, in particular as regards providing sufficient guarantees as to the implementation of appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure that the processing operation complies with the requirements of this policy.

When this other subcontractor does not fulfil its data protection obligations, the original subcontractor remains fully liable.

14. What are your privacy rights and how can you exercise them?

14.1. Overview of your privacy rights

The following section explains your rights. The various rights are not absolute and each is subject to certain exceptions or qualifications. We will grant your request only to the extent that it follows from our assessment of your request that we are allowed and required to do so under data protection laws.

14.2. Exercise of your rights

How can I exercise my privacy rights?

You can send us an email to the following address [hello@feelin.be].

In order to exercise your right of access and to prevent any unlawful publication of your Personal data, we must verify your identity. In case of doubt or inaccuracy, we will first ask you for additional information (preferably a copy of the front of your identity card).

Are there any fees?

You may exercise your rights of confidentiality free of charge, unless your request is manifestly unfounded or exaggerated, in particular because of its repetitive nature. In this case, we have the right and choice – in accordance with privacy legislation – (i) to charge you reasonable compensation (taking into account the administrative costs of providing the requested information or communication and the costs of taking the requested action), or (ii) to refuse to comply with your request.

In what format will I receive a response?

If you submit your request electronically, the information is transmitted electronically if possible, unless your request specifies otherwise. In any case, we will provide you with a concise, transparent, understandable and easily accessible answer.

When will I receive a reply?

We will respond to your request as soon as possible, and in any case within one month of receiving your request. Depending on the complexity and number of requests, this period may be extended by two months if necessary. In the event of an extension of the deadline, we will inform you within one month of receipt of the request.

We will always inform you, in our reply, about the possibility of lodging a complaint with the supervisory authority and appealing to the judge.
