2. COLLECTED (PERSONAL) DATA
BCCA stores the data disclosed by users. The (personal) data collected are: first and last name, date of birth, place of birth, position/profession, telephone number, address and e-mail address. Furthermore, BCCA also stores data concerning its users’ clients and those disclosed by its users for the purpose of the provision of services by BCCA. Such data may be personal (name, address, telephone number, etc) or not (for instance hours during which the client is available).
3. DATA INCLUDED IN REPORTS OR OTHER DOCUMENTS
BCCA reserves the right to process the data and results of a report, certificate or any other analysis carried out for or at the request of a client of BCCA as a part of a general database or of another data system.
4. LEGAL BASIS
To the extend that the user has entered into an agreement with BCCA or intends to enter into an agreement with BCCA (e.g, because the user needs to be a qualified airtightness tester or ventilation reporter), the user acknowledges and accepts that the processing of his (personal) data is necessary for entering into and/or performing such an agreement. To the extend that the user is not someone who entered into or intends to enter into an agreement on his own with BCCA (e.g. because the user is a co-worker of a client of BCCA), the user will be asked for his express consent for the processing of his personal data by BCCA in accordance with this privacy policy. In this case, the user has the right to withdraw consent at any time. The user is also aware that he must provide his personal data to BCCA in order to use BCCA’s applications and websites, and that he will gain no access to such applications and websites if such data are not provided.
5. NEWSLETTER
BCCA stores the e-mail addresses disclosed by the user. Upon prior permission from the user, BCCA may send newsletters to the user. However, the user may always indicate that he no longer wishes to receive such messages. The authorisation to send such messages is explicitly requested when the user enters his e-mail address for the first time. Moreover, each e-mail contains the possibility for the user to exercise his right to object. If a user has registered several e-mail addresses, he may exercise his right to object for each of these addresses.

9. RIGHTS OF THE USER
9.1 The user has a right of perusal and correction with regard to his (personal) data that are being processed in the BCCA files and applications.

Upon explicit request from the user, BCCA shall delete all the user's personal data, except when such data are necessary for the performance of the agreement mentioned above, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. If BCCA intends to erase the user's personal data and the user does not want all his personal data to be erased, he may request that BCCA keep, but no longer process, his personal data.
