Contact email address: info@cover3d.com

2. The data referred to

The categories of personal data concerning you that are processed by COVER GROUP are:

  • Your identification data (surname, first name) and the data you give us to process your customers’ data;
  • Your contact details (postal address and email address if applicable) and those that you communicate to us about your customers;
  • Your telephone contact details (telephone, mobile phone) and those that you provide us with from your customers;
  • Photographs, videos and digital format that you voluntarily provide us with;
  • Your photographs, videos and any other information communicated by our Partners.

3. The processing of your personal data

COVER GROUP attaches particular importance to the respect of your privacy and the protection of your data, which is why this Privacy Policy informs you about the way in which we treat your data.

We are aware and attentive to your right to be informed about the way in which your data is processed and the information that may identify you (surname, first name, address(es), date of birth, telephone number(s), email address(es), etc.) that you are likely to provide to COVER GROUP.

Your data will only be kept in the context of the performance of your contract, in the cases and according to the methods described below.

This “Privacy Policy” explains how we use and process your data, as well as the measures put in place to preserve its confidentiality and security.

The only data to which we have access is that which you provide to us voluntarily.

When we ask you to provide personal data, you may refuse to do so. However, most of our products do require some personal data because they enable us to offer you a service. If you choose not to provide the required data that enables us to offer you a product or feature, you will not be able to use the product or feature in question.

We also combine data that we collect in different contexts (for example, from your use of COVER GROUP products) or that we obtain from third parties in order to improve our services and thus provide you with consistent and personalised IT services while respecting legitimate purposes.

When you download the Software and applications of COVER GROUP, COVER GROUP collects your personal and non-personal data in order to allow later an automatic update of the version of your Software.

By accepting the update of the Software and applications, you consent to COVER GROUP processing your data to allow the continuity and improvement of COVER GROUP’s services.

Your data is collected and processed in accordance with Belgian and international legislation, mainly the European Regulation of 27 April 2016 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data – hereinafter referred to as the “GDPR” – and the Belgian Law of 30 July 2018 on the protection of privacy with regard to the processing of personal data.

4. The processing of personal data of third parties

When you transmit your customers’ personal data to us, we store them in our application to enable you to access, use or process them for the duration of the services provided by COVER GROUP.

In this case, COVER GROUP acts as your subcontractor since the processing of your customers’ personal data is carried out on your behalf.

COVER GROUP does not check the way in which you collect personal data and does not have access to the data that you register on the platform, except in the event that a technical problem (connection problem, unavailability of data, etc.) occurs.

COVER GROUP reminds you that in this case, you are the data controller and that you must therefore imperatively respect your obligations linked to the GDPR and inform your customers of the fact that you are calling on COVER GROUP to store and record their personal data (see COVER’s obligations concerning sub-contracting below).
