I Agree - Privacy Statement

Whenever you collect personal data from a natural person you have to inform the person about who you are, the purpose of the processing, recipients of the data, how long you are keeping the data,... One way to inform people is in a privacy statement.

There are two different cases to inform people about data processing:

  • if personal data is collected directly from the concerned person
  • if personal data is not collected directly from the concerned person but received by someone else.

In the second case - if you receive the data not directly from the concerned person - you have to inform the person before you process the data for the first time, but at least within a month.

Here we will give you some information about how to update your privacy statement i.e. for your website. However, for other activities you have to inform the people as well about your data processing and the according information like purpose, contact details, ...
