4. Settings for configuring and deleting cookies 

There are several ways to configure and manage cookies. You can either disable Bio Minerals cookies or third party cookies using your browser settings, or you can use our cookie settings tool to manage your preferences (accept/deny) cookies.

4.1 Cookie settings may vary from one browser to another. 

Chrome: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647?hl=fr;

Internet Explorer https://support.microsoft.com/fr-fr/help/17442/windows-internet-explorer-delete-manage-cookies and https://support.microsoft.com/fr-be/help/17442/windows-internet-explorer-delete-manage-cookies#ie=ie-11-win-7 ;

4.2 The tool for setting cookies

You may also deactivate and withdraw your consent for cookies deposited Bio Minerals using our cookie management tool. The length of time that the cookie will remain on your device will depend on the length of time that the relevant cookie is valid as described above in section 3. 

5. Your rights

You have certain rights regarding the data we hold about you. 

The rights available to you are the following: right to be informed, access, rectification, opposition, portability, deletion (the "right to forget"), limitation of processing, and to withdraw your consent (for the latter right, see section 4.2 above). 

Concerning the existence of automated decision making, including profiling and, if applicable, useful information concerning the underlying logic, as well as the importance and the expected consequences of this processing for you, Bio Minerals confirms that there is no automated decision making based on the personal data collected. 

All these rights are also detailed in section 7 of our Privacy Policy

If you have any questions about your rights or complaints about the manner in which Bio Minerals processes your personal data, please address them to us in advance via Section 8 of this Policy. You always have the right to make a complaint to the relevant regulatory authority. For Belgium this is: the Data Protection Authority, Rue de la Presse 35, 1000 Brussels, Belgium, +32 (0)2 274 48 00, contact(at)apd-gba.be.

6. Conservation period of the collected data 

The length of time the data collected through the various cookies will be retained may vary depending on whether the cookie is placed by Bio Minerals or by third parties. We are not responsible for the retention period of third party cookies.

Your data collected by Bio Minerals will not be retained beyond the time strictly necessary for the purposes set forth in this Policy and in any case for a maximum of twenty-five (25) months. Beyond that, it will be deleted when the retention periods expire, unless a longer retention period is permitted or imposed by a legal or regulatory requirement, or unless it is subject to a process of anonymization of the data to make it impossible to "re-identify" individuals. These anonymised data, no longer being personal data, can thus be kept freely and enhanced, in particular by the production of statistics.

7. Updating our Policy 

By accepting all cookies and/or managing your preferences in our consent management platform, you acknowledge that you have read the terms of this Policy and agree to our use of cookies as set out above (unless expressly stated otherwise).

We may change this Policy from time to time. Any changes we make to our Policy in the future will be posted on this page. Please check this page frequently for updates or changes to this Policy. Your continued use of this Website following the posting of changes to the Policy will mean that you accept those changes. This Policy was last updated on 28 January 2020.

8. How can you contact us? 

If you have any questions or comments regarding this Policy, you may address them in writing to the following e-mail address:[email protected].
