The Board collects your personal data in several ways:
1. The data you have supplied yourself
The Board first of all processes the data you have supplied yourself:
- as part of our public-interest tasks and the exercise of public authority: these are, inter alia, personal data that you provide to us (in any way whatsoever, including through the business portals) as part of the public supervision we exercise on auditors.
This also includes data you have supplied as a whistleblower, such as your contact details and other data (unless you have chosen to make an anonymous report and cannot in fact be identified); - by filling in the contact form on the Board website: these are data such as your title, first name, surname, email address, telephone number, whether or not you are a resident of Belgium, and the additional data in your question, comment, complaint or other message. In the contact form for professionals, these data may (if applicable) also be the name of your company and your registration number.
- as the case may be, by subscribing to a newsletter: these are data such as your email address, your first name and surname.
- by participating in a Board consultation: these are data on your identification, your role and other personal data that may be sent as part of a consultation (open or limited), organized by the Board, mainly on legislative projects.
- by entering into a contract with the Board: these are personal data relating to you as a natural person such as your name and email address, as well as any other data you provide in the pre-contractual or contractual stage.
- by visiting the Board: these are data you need to fill in on the visitor registration sheet such as your name, your company, your number plate, and the images recorded by the security cameras in our building and car park.
2. Data obtained from a third party
The Board also processes personal data obtained from a third party:
- as part of our public-interest tasks and the exercise of public authority: these are, among others, your personal data that have been provided to us (in any way whatsoever, including through the business portals) by a third party (such as the natural or legal person under our supervision with which you work or have a role, other national or foreign authorities, whistleblowers, or someone who lodges a complaint or asks us a question) as part of the public supervision we exercise on auditors.
- as part of a contract between the contracting party for which you work and the Board: this is your name, your email address and other data such as, in certain cases, references to your previous work, which are provided to us by the contracting party for which you work as part of the pre-contractual measures or the provision of services to the Board.
