LCL Data Centers (hereinafter ‘we’, ‘us’ and ‘our’) understands the importance of the privacy of its customers and users of its website visitors and the protection of their personal data. This policy sets out how we handle and process your personal data.
LCL plc., with its registered office at Kouterveldstraat 13, 1831 Diegem - Belgium, KBO (Crossroads Bank for Enterprises) number 0457.116.458 manages this website. We act as the data controller when we process our customers’ and website users’ personal data.
We believe it is important to create and maintain an environment where our customers can be confident that their data will not be misused. We comply with the regulations applicable to data protection such as the Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (also referred to as the General Data Protection Regulation, hereinafter “GDPR”) and the Belgian Data Protection Act. The aforementioned regulations concern the protection of personal data and provide you with rights over the said personal data.
The objective of this policy is to indicate what personal data we collect, how we use your data after you have visited our website and to assure you that we process your data appropriately.
This privacy policy and the terms and conditions of use apply when you visit our website. The application of terms and conditions other than those set out herein is explicitly prohibited unless we have provided express permission in writing in advance. In the latter case, this policy applies alongside the specific agreement. The use of this website, the platform and the content contained therein is only permitted subject to compliance with this policy. The use of this website, the platform and the content contained therein is only permitted subject to compliance with the full text of this policy.
It is not necessary to provide personal data to use most of our website.
We collect and process the following categories of personal data for the purposes stated below:
Additional or optional data are provided by filling out forms on our website or when we contact you (by telephone, email or at trade fairs or events).
We also collect and process data obtained via our website or the devices you use. The collected data may be:

We process the aforementioned personal data based on various processing reasons, as listed in Articles 6.1 (a), (b), (c) and (f) of the GDPR.
Processing of your personal data is required in order to meet contractual obligations for the purposes of delivering products or services in accordance with our agreements. Where personal data is processed (for example to create invoices or communicate with you) in the execution of the agreement, we will store the data for 5 years after the end of our commercial relationship in accordance with the applicable limitation period.
In some cases, it can be a legal requirement to process personal data and to share it with third parties such as government entities for the purposes of government business or anti-money laundering legislation.
In these cases, we have a legitimate interest to process your personal data and to contact you to be able to perform our operations or provide you with information on our products, services, promotions and/or events. Your personal data is retained for up to 5 years after the termination of our commercial relationship.
If you are not a current customer, we will request your permission to provide you with information on our events, products and services for promotional purposes. In this case, we will retain your personal data for one year after the last contact.
We can share your personal data with:
Based on our legitimate interest, we may also share your personal data with third parties that assist us with our products and services. Some examples of third-party activities include the hosting of web servers, data analysis, marketing support providers and customer service. These companies have access to your personal data but only when this is required to perform their activities. They are not permitted to use your data for any other purposes.
Your personal data may not be sold or leased to third parties.
We may publish your personal data to enforce our policy, to comply with our legal obligations or in the interest of safety, in the public interest or for the purposes of legal enforcement in any country where we have entities or subsidiaries. We may follow up a request from a law enforcement agency, regulatory authority or government agency. We may also publish data for the purposes of current or scheduled court cases or to protect our property, safety, people or other rights and interests.
Should LCL be sold or merges with another company, your data will be accessible to the advisor of the potential buyer and transferred to the new company owners. In that case, we will take the appropriate measures to guarantee the integrity and confidentiality of your personal data. The use of your personal data will always be subject to this policy.
We may transfer your personal data to third parties in third countries (outside the European Economic Area (EEA)), i.e. Hubspot, our marketing platform, is headquartered in the United States of America. However, the cloud servers on which the data is stored are located in the EU (Germany). The said transfer of data outside the EEA is legal if the recipient of the data resides in a country with a level of protection deemed adequate by the European Commission. Some of these countries may not have enacted equivalent data protection legislation to protect the use of your personal data. In such cases, we have researched whether appropriate preventive measures similar to those implemented within the EU are possible. In specific cases, we will request your prior consent to the transfer of your personal data outside the EEA. Please follow the procedure set out in Rights of the data subject for further information on data transfer.

When data is exported from Hubspot's secure cloud environment, it is only stored locally on a PC, no Google Docs or the like.
Only LCL employees and some permanent external marketing employees have access, according to the processing agreement.
In general, LCL takes measures as also stated in Annex A of ISO27K: physical and environmental security, as well as access control (logical security), so all already described in our SOA (Statement of Applicability) in the context of ISO27001.
