1. Which personal data is processed, and why?
With 'personal data', we mean any information on an identified or identifiable private individual. This means information, such as details, sound, images, relating to a person, for example a name, address, or location that makes it possible to directly or indirectly identify a private individual. Anonymized data cannot identify a private individual and, therefore, does not constitute personal data. You can easily edit your data via your account settings. Here, you can also manage your email and newsletter preferences. Bakeronline can use this data for purposes in line with this Privacy Policy and the Cookie Policy.
With 'processing', we mean any processing of data. Some examples: collecting, recording, deriving, saving, structuring, storing, consulting, viewing, sharing, sending, clearing, deleting, or archiving.
The registered merchant with whom you place your order or who you contact can process your personal data in the capacity of controller for the following purposes:
1) Processing orders from the clients to the Customer, based on the contractual relationship or associated previous steps.
Personal identification details (last name, first name, email address, phone number, delivery address) order details (order time, order content, order type, order origin, payment method, amount) and financial identification details (account holder, cart number, payment method and bank account number) are being processed in order to prepare the order at the right moment and deliver it to the right individual and, if applicable, to correctly refund the warranty linked to a product. In case of problems relating to the order, these details can be used to contact you, but only in the context of customer service.
2) Answering to requests from the clients to the Customer, based on the contractual relationship or associated previous steps.
If you contact the registered merchant directly via the contact details provided on his page, your personal identification details (last name, first name, email address and phone number) are being processed, based on the contractual relationship or associated previous steps, in order to provide an answer to your request.
3) Marketing from the Customer to its clients, based on legitimate interests.
The registered merchants with whom you interacted in the past can inform you about their products and services and those of their partners by mail or phone, based on legitimate interests.
The registered merchants at whom you placed an order can inform you about their products and services by email, based on legitimate interests. In case of email campaigns sent via the newsletter feature on our Services, you can unsubscribe via your account settings.
The legitimate interests are that it is important for the registered merchants to be able to inform their (potential) clients about products and services that might interest them. This kind of processing can include profiling. Profiling does not impact you, except that it can lead to a better customer experience and personalized offers, which are advantages for you. However, you are not obliged to give your personal data for this purpose. You can object to this (see further). In case of email campaigns sent via the newsletter feature on our Services, you can unsubscribe via your account settings.

If (a part of) the processing would not be necessary to deliver on the purposes above, your explicit consent will be asked.

If you fill in a Bakeronline contact form, your personal identification details (last name, first name, email address and phone number) are being processed, based on the contractual relationship or associated previous steps, in order to provide an answer to your request.

2. Who receives my personal data, other than Bakeronline and the registered merchant?
1) Sub-processors
Bakeronline acts as a processor on behalf of the registered merchant who wishes to use our Services to serve his (potential) clients as agreed upon via a data processing agreement between the registered merchant and Bakeronline.
Furthermore, Bakeronline relies upon external (sub)-processors. This means, among other things, we temporarily transfer data to third parties for certain tasks or research queries, if we don't have the means to perform these ourselves, for example hosting website, mail platform, helpdesk tools, cash connections or payment processing. If we do this, we always ensure your data is processed in a confidential manner and used in a secure manner. We always stipulate this in an agreement entered into with these processors.
2) Other
Your personal data can also be transferred to governments, supervisors and other third parties as part of certain legal requirements, in the event we suspect and/or try to detect certain criminal offences, as part of the enforcement of intellectual property rights of third parties, in the event we are of the opinion you have breached the terms and conditions of use of our Services, or in the event we wish to enforce our Privacy Policy.
In the event of a merger, acquisition, sale, joint venture and/or in the event of any other change of control within Bakeronline, Bakeronline reserves the right to transfer the personal data processed by Bakeronline (without the need of consent by any end user or registered merchant) to any third party 'as part of such a merger, acquisition, sale, joint venture and/or any other change of control'.
3. How long will my data be stored?
Bakeronline will only store your personal data for the minimum period required to fulfil the purposes included in this Privacy Policy, unless to resolve any disputes or if a longer storage period is required by law. Non-personal information can be stored without any limitations in time, for statistical purposes. After the minimum period, your data will be anonymized and stored for statistical purposes. Anonymized data cannot be traced back to an individual, which means that it is not classifiable as personal data.
Closing a Bakeronline-account is possible based on one of the following reasons:
1) The user requests to delete his account. In this case, the user will be asked to confirm his request. After this confirmation, the account will be deleted within 30 days, giving the user to opportunity to reconsider.
2) In case of inactivity: after 18 months of inactivity, the user will receive a warning that his account will be deleted. If the user does not react in any way, within 1 month after the warning, the account and all the linked personal data will be deleted.
3) In case of fraud.
4. How is my data secured and stored?
Bakeronline acknowledges that the protection of personal data is a part of data protection. Therefore, Bakeronline takes the appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized processing or unauthorized access in order to prevent misuse.
With any transfer of personal data to a processor outside of the EEA, the registered merchant and Bakeronline will perform such transfer in accordance with this Privacy Policy, and Bakeronline will comply with the applicable law and regulations regarding data protection in order to sufficiently ensure guarantees.
5. What are cookies and how do we apply them?

6. What rights do I have?

Right of limitation of processing:
In the cases provided for in Belgian and European privacy legislation. When the processing within our Services is limited, your personal data (except for storage) will only be processed with your authorization or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another private individual or legal entity or for reasons of public interest. After obtaining this processing limitation, we will always notify you before the processing limitation is lifted.
Right of transmission of the data:
You have the right to receive the personal data provided by you in a conventional, structured and machine-readable form and you have the right to transmit these personal data to a different controller, where the processing is based on a legally based authorization or contractual relationship.
Right of revoking one’s authorization:
If the processing of personal data is based on an authorisation basis, you, as a user, have the right to retract your authorisation at any given time. You can do so by cancelling your account.
Right of objection:
You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data only if the processing is based on public interest or a legitimate interest. You also have the right to object to the processing of your personal data for marketing purposes. This is currently possible by opting out for the desired merchant via the account settings. You also have the right to file a complaint with the data protection authority.
7. How can I exercise my rights?
You can exercise your rights by sending an email to the responsible party of processing your personal data, being the controller. In order to prevent each and every unauthorized disclosure of your personal data, it is compulsory to send your request from the email address linked to your account.
The controller shall have at least one month to respond to your request. This period shall commence when the controller has received your request and has determined and received all of the necessary information to respond to your request.
The controller shall provide the requested information free of charge. In the event requests are unfounded or disproportionate, in particular due to their repetitive character, the controller may charge a reasonable compensation or refuse the request.
For the sake of completeness, we would like to inform you that you have the right to file a complaint with the data protection authority (for Belgium: https://www.dataprotectionauthority.be/) in the event the controller does not respond to or refuses your request or if the controller’s response does not meet your expectations.
