iPurple guarantees the right of correction and deletion of personal data to the user.

In accordance with Article 16 of the Regulation, incorrect, inaccurate or irrelevant data may be corrected or erased at any time. The User shall first make the necessary changes himself/herself from his/her user/other account, unless they cannot be made autonomously, in which case the request can be made to iPurple.

In accordance with Article 19 of the Regulation, the Data Controller shall notify each recipient to whom the personal data have been communicated of any rectification of the personal data, unless such communication proves impossible or requires disproportionate efforts. The Controller shall provide the data subject with information about these recipients if the data subject so requests.

c. Right of erasure

The User has the right to obtain the deletion of his/her personal data as soon as possible in the cases listed in article 17 of the Regulations.

Where the Controller has made the personal data public and is required to erase them pursuant to the previous paragraph, the Controller, taking into account the available technologies and the costs of implementation, shall take reasonable measures, including technical measures, to inform the other controllers processing such personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure by those controllers of any link to such personal data, or any copy or reproduction thereof.

The two preceding paragraphs shall not apply to the extent that such processing is necessary:

- for the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information;
- to comply with a legal obligation which requires the processing to be carried out in accordance with Union law or the law of the Member State to which the controller is subject, or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
- the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

In accordance with Article 19 of the Regulation, the Controller shall notify each recipient to whom the personal data have been disclosed of any erasure of personal data or any restriction on the processing operation carried out, unless such notification proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. The controller shall provide the data subject with information about such recipients if the data subject so requests.

Users have the right to transmit such data to another controller without iPurple obstructing it in the cases provided for in the Rules.

Where the User exercises its right to data portability pursuant to the previous paragraph, the User has the right to have personal data transmitted directly from one data controller to another, where this is technically possible.

The exercise of the right of data portability shall be without prejudice to the right of erasure. This right shall not apply to processing necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

The right of data portability shall not prejudice the rights and freedoms of third parties.

f. Right of opposition and automated individual decision-making

The User has at any time the right to object to the processing of his/her personal data due to his/her particular situation, including the automation of the data carried out by iPurple. In accordance with article 21 of the Regulations, iPurple will no longer process personal data, unless there are legitimate and compelling reasons for the processing that prevail over the interests and rights and freedoms of the User, or for the ascertainment, exercise or defence of legal rights.

Where personal data is processed for canvassing purposes, the User has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning him/her for such canvassing purposes, including profiling insofar as it is related to such canvassing.

Where the data subject objects to the processing for canvassing purposes, the personal data shall no longer be processed for such purposes.

9. Cookies

The Site uses cookies to distinguish the Users of the Site. This helps to provide Users with a better browsing experience and an improvement of the Site and its content. The objectives and modalities of cookies are contained in this article.

a. General principles

A "Cookie" is a file that is temporarily or permanently deposited on the User's hard disk when consulting the Website, with a view to later connection. Thanks to cookies, the server recognises the User's computer.

Cookies can also be installed by third parties with whom iPurple collaborates.

Some of the cookies used by iPurple are necessary for the proper functioning of the Website, while others make it possible to improve the User's experience.

The User can personalize or disable cookies by setting up his browser.

By using the Website, the User expressly agrees with the management of cookies as described in this article.

b. Type of cookies and purposes

Different types of cookies are used by iPurple on the Site:

- Technical cookies: they are necessary for the operation of the Website, allow the communication of the data entered and are intended to facilitate the navigation of the User;

- Cookies for statistical and audience measurements: these cookies allow the recognition of the User and are used to count the number of Users of the Website over a certain period of time. Since they also indicate browsing behaviour, they are an effective means of improving the User's browsing by displaying proposals and offers that may be of interest to him/her. They also allow iPurple to identify possible bugs on the Website and to correct them.

- Functional cookies: these cookies facilitate the use of the Website by retaining certain choices introduced (for example, user name or language);

- Tracking cookies: iPurple uses tracking cookies via Google Analytics, AdWords, Bing, Facebook, Twitter services, to measure the interaction of Users with the content of the Website and to produce anonymous statistics. These statistics allow iPurple to improve the Website. Google supports the explanation of these cookies at the following address: http://www.google.nl/intl/en_uk/policies/privacy/.

c. Cookie Retention Time

Cookies are kept for the time necessary to achieve the intended purpose. The cookies that may be stored on the User's hard drive and their retention period are as follows: 20 days

d. Cookie management

If the User does not want the Website to place cookies on his hard disk, he can easily manage or delete them by modifying the parameters of his browser. Browser programming also allows the User to receive a notice or notification as soon as a Website uses cookies and thus decide whether to accept or reject them.

If the User deactivates certain cookies, he/she accepts that the Website may not function optimally. Certain parts of the Website may therefore not be usable, or may only be partially usable.

If the User wishes to manage and/or delete certain cookies in this way, he or she can do so by using the following link(s):

10. Limitation of liability of the Data Controller

The website may contain links to other websites owned by third parties not related to iPurple. The content of these sites and their compliance with the Law and Regulations is not the responsibility of iPurple.

The holder of parental authority must give his express consent for a minor under 16 years old to disclose personal information or data on the website. iPurple strongly advises persons exercising parental authority over minors to promote a responsible and secure use of the Internet. The Data Controller cannot be held responsible for having collected and processed information and personal data of minors under 16 years of age whose consent is not effectively covered by that of their legal parents or for incorrect data - in particular regarding age - entered by minors. Under no circumstances will personal data be processed by the Data Controller if the User specifies that he/she is under 16 years of age.

iPurple is not responsible for the loss, corruption or theft of personal data caused in particular by the presence of viruses or as a result of computer attacks.

11. Security

The Data Controller implements organisational and technical measures to guarantee an appropriate level of security for the processing and collection of data. These security measures depend on the costs of implementation in relation to the nature, context and purposes of the processing of personal data.

The Data Controller uses standard encryption technologies within the IT sector when transferring or collecting data on the Site.

12. Modification of the Privacy Policy

iPurple reserves the right to modify this Privacy Policy in order to comply with legal obligations in this regard. The user is therefore invited to regularly consult the Privacy Policy in order to be aware of the modifications and adaptations. Any such modification will be posted on the Site or sent by email for enforceability purposes.

13. Applicable law and jurisdiction

This Privacy Policy is governed exclusively by Belgian law. Any dispute will be brought before the courts of the judicial district of the registered office of iPurple.
