The KMSKA also processes data in order to be able to execute an agreement. This is the case, for instance, when you visit our library, take part in an activity, subscribe to a publication or if you are a supplier or a service provider.

In certain cases, the KMSKA processes data based on a legitimate interest on the KMSKA’s part in maintaining relationships with existing and potential stakeholders and in the context of fund-raising.

The KMSKA is sometimes required to process your data in order to comply with a legal obligation.

What are your rights?

You have the right to inspect and correct your personal data.

If you have given your explicit consent to the processing of your personal data, you may withdraw this consent at any time without prejudice to the lawfulness of any processing based on that consent prior to its withdrawal.

You have the right in certain cases to limit the processing of your personal data, including when its accuracy is disputed, when this is necessary in the context of a legal dispute, or pending our response to a request to delete your data.

You may object at any time to the use of your data for direct marketing purposes or purposes based on our legitimate interest.

You have the right to delete your data (‘right to be forgotten’) in the following cases:

  • The personal data is no longer needed for the intended purpose
  • You have withdrawn your consent for the processing of your data and there is no other legal basis for processing
  • You have lawfully exercised your right of objection
  • Your data has been unlawfully processed
  • The KMSKA is required to delete your data to comply with a legal obligation

You have the right to obtain the data you have provided, from the KMSKA in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable form. You yourself may transfer this data to another data controller or have us transfer it for you unless this is not technically possible.

To exercise any of the above rights, you may e-mail info@kmska.be at any time.

If, in spite of everything, you believe that your data is not being processed correctly, you have the right to file a complaint with the Data Protection Authority, Drukpersstraat 35, 1000 Brussels.
