The data controller is the ASBL Voies d'eau du Hainaut, located at Digue de Cuesmes 29/1, 7000 Mons; it alone determines the purposes and means of processing personal data, as well as the methods of delegation.
This policy describes how the ASBL processes your personal data and what your rights are in this respect.
To carry out its missions, the ASBL is required to process your personal data in accordance with the provisions of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data and the Law of 30 July 2018 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data.
The ASBL treats your personal data in accordance with the following principles:

- Your personal data is collected for specific, explicit and legitimate purposes, and is not further processed in a way that is incompatible with these purposes (purpose limitation).

- Your personal data will be accurate, kept up to date and all reasonable steps will be taken to rectify any inaccuracies where this is required by the purposes and basis of the processing (accuracy).
The following concepts are used in these regulations:

- controller: "the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing operation; where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union law or by the law of a Member State, the controller may be designated or the specific criteria applicable to his designation may be laid down by Union law or by the law of a Member State";
- processor: the natural or legal person, public authority, department or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
Data security and confidentiality
