Article 2. How does VIREO handle the User’s personal data ?

2.1. For what purposes and on what legal basis are personal data processed ?

By providing VIREO with his/her personal data, the User expressly authorises VIREO to process (collection, recording, organisation, structuring, conservation, adaptation, modification, extraction, consultation, use, communication by transmission, dissemination or other form of making available, alignment or interconnection, limitation, erasure, destruction) said data for the purpose(s) below.

VIREO first of all uses the personal information collected to fulfil its contractual obligations towards the User and this, in particular, in order to :

  • save the data in the User’s electronic folder ; 
  • answer questions, requests for information and/or advice by intermediaries ; 
  • ensure the follow-up and management of the User’s file ;
  • allow the transmission of User data to the various service providers according to his requests ; 
  • allow the transmission of the User’s connection and navigation data for the purpose of managing his file ;
  • to transmit to the User any electronic communications and invitations ; 
  • to anonymise the data in order to use it for statistical purposes.

On the basis of its legitimate interest, VIREO may process the personal data thus collected in order to :

  • manage its User base and have a global vision of its Users (e.g. by establishing statistics in order to know who they are and get to know them better, pursue its legitimate development interests, meet their expectations as well as possible, …) ;
  • to ensure the proper technical operation of VIREO’s installations ;
  • to prevent abuse, fraud and offences ;
  • to protect the company’s assets ;

  • to constitute evidence ;
  • ensure the invoicing of services and proper monitoring by VIREO’s accounting department.

2.2. Does VIREO use the personal data collected to make automated decisions ?

VIREO does not use the data for profiling purposes or to make automated decisions. Should VIREO decide to do so in the future, it will inform the User in advance, explaining the logic behind such a decision and the importance and expected consequences of this particular processing.

Article 3. Why is it necessary for the User to communicate his/her personal data ?

If the User refuses to provide VIREO with the data requested as part of the services offered through the applications put online on the Platform, VIREO may be unable to perform the services offered.

Article 4. Where and how are personal data transferred ?

4.1. Who has access to personal data and to whom are they transferred ?

Apart from the data processing carried out by VIREO, the User may give access to his/her data to VIREO’s business partners within the framework of the proper execution and continuity of the service. These partners (intermediaries / subcontractors) are for example (non-exhaustive list) :

In order to protect the User’s privacy, the persons who are authorized to access the User’s data are determined precisely according to their tasks.

Apart from authorized persons, VIREO does not pass non-anonymised personal data to third parties. However, in order to achieve the purposes detailed above (cf. point 2.1.), VIREO may be required to communicate certain information to authorized third parties such as :

  • subcontractors of IT services ;
  • certain authorities and regulators in order to comply with its legal obligations ; 
  • lawyers in the event of litigation.

4.2. How are personal data transferred and secured ?

VIREO implements an effective security policy in terms of computer data protection. In order to guarantee optimal security of its Platform, this security policy is only accessible under certain conditions.

Article 5. How long is personal data kept ? 

VIREO keeps the personal data thus collected for as long as :

  • necessary for the achievement of the purposes detailed above ;
