When collecting this information, SBL advises you if some data must compulsorily be given or if they are optional. SBL also informs you about the potential consequences of a lack of response.

Under the principle of data minimization or « Privacy by default », SBL ensures to only collect and process the data strictly needed regarding the purpose for which they are processed.

2. Grounds of the collection

– Ensure the management and monitoring of customers relationships

4. Data recipients

Those recipients are SBL habilitated services, its potential subcontractors, and services in charge of control (statutory auditor notably).

Government agencies, court officers, judicial officers, services responsible for debt collection and our colleagues representing other parties who may be involved in cases can also be recipients of personal data, exclusively to meet SBL legal obligations.

5. Absence of transfers and assignments

Personal data cannot be subject of any transfer, rent, exchange or assignment to the benefit of a third country or an international organization.

6. Data retention period

Personal data are stored for the whole duration of the contractual relation with the customer and for a duration of one (1) year beyond. Data is then archived for evidentiary purposes.

Prospects’ personal data

Personal data regarding prospects are stored for a duration of three (3) years since their collection. This duration is renewed at each positive action taken by the prospect following a targeted solicitation.

7. Data security

SBL insures personal data security by setting up enhanced organizational and technical security measures.

8. Concerned person’s rights exercise

Right to access to data

The concerned persons are allowed to obtain from SBL access to their personal data collected by the firm.

Right to data rectification

The concerned persons are allowed to obtain from SBL, as soon as possible, the rectification of their personal data which would be inexact. They are particularly allowed to obtain that incomplete data would be completed.

Right to data deletion

In the exercise of their right to be forgotten, the concerned persons are allowed to ask for the erasure of their personal data.

SBL is obliged to erase the personal data in the following situations:

– when personal data are not compulsory anymore regarding the aim they were collected for;
– when the consent of the concerned person on which the process is founded has been withdrawn (when there is no other legal ground to the process);
– when there is an opposition to the process by the concerned person (and when there is no legitimate and imperious reason to the process);
– when the data are subject to an illegal process;
– when the data must be delated in order to comply with a legal obligation.

However, the irreversible deletion of the concerned personal data will only be set up once the limitation period for SBL’s professional civil responsability has expired.

Right to limitation of data processing

The concerned persons will be able, in the following situations, to ask SBL for a limitation of their personal data processing, i.e that their data are temporarily made inaccessible:

– when they contest the exactitude of one or several of their personal data;
– when the process is illegal and the concerned person is opposed to the erasure of the data and instead requires the limitation of data processing;
– when the concerned persons need their data for the establishment, the exercise or the defense of legal rights and SBL no longer needs them for processing purposes;
– when the concerned persons have expressed their opposition to the processing operation: in this case, the limitation will be effective until it is known whether the legitimate grounds pursued by SBL prevail over those of the concerned persons.

SBL commits itself to inform the concerned persons before their data are made accessible again.

Right to object processing

The concerned persons are allowed to object, at any time, the process of their personal data.

Right to data portability

The concerned persons are allowed to ask to SBL (i) to retrieve the personal data they provided to it or (ii) to transmit them to another controller, insofar as the processing of these data are carried out by means of automated processes.

If this right is used, the delivery or transmission of the personal data will be in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.

Right to withdraw consent

If data processing is founded on the concerned person’s consent, the latter can withdraw his consent at any time, without prejudice to the legality of processing based on consent given before its withdrawal.
