In accordance with article 16 of the Regulation, incorrect, inaccurate or irrelevant data may be rectified or erased at any time. The User first makes the necessary changes himself or herself from his or her user account, unless these changes cannot be made independently, in which case the request can be directed to Erbe Gin.

In accordance with article 19 of the Regulation, the Controller shall notify any rectification of personal data carried out to each recipient to whom the personal data have been disclosed, unless such rectification proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort. The Controller shall inform the data subject about those recipients if the data subject so requests.

Where the Controller has made the personal data public and is obliged pursuant to the previous paragraph to erase these personal data, the Controller, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other controllers who are processing such personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data.

  • for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;
  • for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing by Union or Member State law to which the Controller is subject or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the Controller;

In exercising his or her right to data portability pursuant to the previous paragraph, the User shall have the right to have personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible.

The exercise of the right to data portability shall be without prejudice to the right to erase data. That right shall not apply to processing necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the Controller.

The right to data portability shall not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of third parties.

f. Right to object and automated individual decision-making

The User shall have the right to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, at any time to the processing of his/her personal data, including the automation of data by Erbe Gin.

Where personal data are processed for prospecting purposes, the User shall have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning him or her for such prospecting purposes, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such prospecting.

Where the data subject objects to processing for prospecting purposes, the personal data shall no longer be processed for such purposes.

a. General principles

A “cookie” is a file that is temporarily or permanently placed on the User’s device when the latter consults the Site, for the purpose of a subsequent connection. Thanks to cookies, the server recognises the User’s device.

Cookies can also be installed by third parties with whom Erbe Gin cooperates.

10. Limitation of the Controller’s liability

The Site may contain links to other third-party websites that are not linked to Erbe Gin. The content of these sites and compliance with the Regulation and the Law are not the responsibility of Erbe Gin.

The person exercising parental authority over a minor under 16 years of age must give his or her express consent to the minor to disclose personal information or data through the Site.

The Controller shall take appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure an adequate level of protection for the processing and collection of data.

Erbe Gin reserves the right to amend this Privacy Policy in order to comply with the legal requirements in this regard.

13. Governing law and competent court

This Privacy Policy shall be governed exclusively by Belgian law. Any dispute arising shall be brought before the courts of the judicial district of the registered office of Erbe Gin.
