To request information, you will need to fill in a form. When you do so, we ask for some personal data, such as your email address and name. These data are securely stored. Additionally, we collect your personal data as soon as you contact us, for example by sending an email.

We collect data about how you use the Schoenaerts & Partners website through cookies, specifically:

- Log file data, such as an IP address, pages opened, mouse clicks, the date and time of your request, your browser, and so forth. These data allow us to recognize you and can tell us how you use our website, for example which articles or videos you have read or watched, and whether you have read or watched until the end.

- Device data, such as IP address, brand, type, and operating system of your device, and so on. This gives us a rough indication of your location.

It may also concern certain data related to your behavior on social networking sites, such as likes. These are only data that you publicly share on social networks and only insofar as your personal settings on those social networks allow this. If you do not want such information to be shared, we recommend that you adjust your settings on the respective social networks.

## What do we use personal data for?

We generally use personal data to deliver and maintain Schoenaerts & Partners services. For example, this allows us to notify you of changes or planned maintenance on your site or the Schoenaerts & Partners website, or to properly process your feedback on our services.

We use personal data to understand which Schoenaerts & Partners services and Schoenaerts & Partners content are interesting and useful for our users.

The Schoenaerts & Partners website contains social media “buttons” from social networks such as Facebook and LinkedIn. These allow you to share information on these platforms. These buttons are implemented and managed by the social networks themselves. Schoenaerts & Partners has no control over the applications these companies make with these buttons. We recommend that you review the terms of use and privacy policies of these social networks. This privacy policy only governs the use of data collected by Schoenaerts & Partners.

Under certain circumstances, we may have to share your data with or provide it to authorities. This may be to comply with the law or a judicial decision, to detect and address fraud or security issues, or to protect the rights of Schoenaerts & Partners.

You can view the personal data that Schoenaerts & Partners processes about you at any time and request correction or deletion of inaccurate or incomplete data. You can contact Schoenaerts & Partners using the contact details at the top of this document. When exercising your rights, we ask you to be as specific as possible so that we can handle your request properly and accurately. Please note that we must verify your identity to exercise your rights to prevent unauthorized persons from exercising them on your behalf.

Schoenaerts & Partners considers it important that your data are handled securely. Therefore, we use various security technologies and measures to protect your data appropriately against unauthorized access, use, loss, or disclosure. Unfortunately, exchanging information via the internet is never 100% secure. Although we do our utmost to safeguard the security of your data, we cannot guarantee this absolutely.

Schoenaerts & Partners will update this privacy statement in some cases due to changed services, customer feedback, or changes in privacy legislation.
