It's all about putting the products on the website for you to browse and then order, so we can deliver them to you afterwards and answer any questions you may have. This is the basis of the success of Deurlinkenstore.be.

We only transfer your data to other countries if we are sure that they have the appropriate safeguards in place for this data.

The information we collect from you may be transferred to and stored at a destination outside of the European Economic Area (EEA).

Unfortunately, the transmission of information over the Internet is not 100% secure. We will do our best to protect your personal data, however we cannot guarantee the security of data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security measures to minimize unauthorized access.

How do we share the information we collect?

We are aware that you entrust your information to Deurklinkenstore.be and not to another company. However, in order to carry out our activities, we need to work with a number of parties who are experts in their respective fields – after all, we are good at what we do, but we are not equally good at everything! We are very careful with whom we share your information, but it is important that you understand when such information is shared and why. This is explained in this chapter. The exceptional cases where we may share your information include:

• We share your information externally with our main service providers when necessary to run our business. Like any other company, Deurklinkenstore.be depends on a number of third party companies to provide a range of essential services, products and applications that enable us to provide the Services. These include, for example, companies that help us collect and pack orders, make deliveries, support our customers, carry out checks

on fraud protection and credit risk limits, supporting our IT systems, monitoring our security, enabling our marketing, verifying that we are doing what we are supposed to be doing, or making sure that we keep accurate books. After all, we cannot do everything ourselves and our collaboration with experts in various fields enables us to improve our Service to you in the fastest and most efficient way.

Each of the third party companies we work with has been selected by us based on their ability to provide what we need to meet our required specifications, including their ability to process sensitive data (such as your personal data) in a secure and appropriate manner. Each of these third-party companies has a contract with us that clearly sets out our expectations and requirements in dealing with your information and makes them fully responsible for meeting those expectations and requirements. Based solely on this, we may disclose your personal information to such third parties who need specific and personalized access to your information to facilitate our Services to perform, on our behalf, a number of strategic tasks. They may only use this information in accordance with our instructions, not to disclose or use it for any other purpose. We are confident that we can entrust your information to these third party service providers.

• We share your information when we believe it is reasonably necessary to protect Deurklinkenstore.be or our Customers. Unfortunately, Deurklinkenstore.be (like many other companies) can be confronted with attempts at fraudulent or criminal activity, which sometimes requires us to take certain steps to protect both our company and our Customers. We may therefore disclose your information if we have a good faith belief that disclosure is reasonably necessary to (1) detect, investigate, prevent or take action against suspected or actual illegal activity, fraud, security or technical problems or to assist national enforcement authorities; (2) enforce or enforce our terms of use; (3) investigate and defend against third party claims or allegations; (4) protect the security or integrity of our services; or (5) to exercise or protect the rights, property or safety of Deurklinkenstore.be, our Customers or others.
