In these cases, we rely on the legal basis of consent. This consent is always requested by House of Talents and its entities at the moment (and location on the website) where they wish to collect the data based on consent. If your personal data is provided to us by a third party in connection with an event (for example, because you were listed as a potential sponsor by a participant in one of our competitions), we will verify as soon as possible whether you have given your prior consent.

You can object to a given consent at any time without any reason. You can contact us for this purpose via GDPR@houseoftalents.be.

C. Transfer to third parties

We do not provide or sell personal data to third parties without your consent.

Exceptions to this rule are the exchange between House of Talents' affiliated or associated companies based on the legitimate interest of House of Talents. It is also possible that personal data is transferred in the context of the performance of your agreement with House of Talents, as well as in case of a legal provision or court order. Finally, it may also be that House of Talents transfers personal data in the context of a merger or acquisition. In such a case, however, everything is done to minimize and secure this transfer as much as possible.

House of Talents may also engage third parties who perform or help facilitate certain processing of personal data mentioned in this privacy policy under its supervision. These third parties always act under the responsibility of House of Talents and may not carry out any personal data processing of their own. These parties are also always bound by a specific processing agreement.

D. Security of your personal data

House of Talents guarantees a high-quality level of data security by taking all necessary and reasonable technical and organizational measures. We strive to regularly evaluate and adjust these measures if necessary. House of Talents therefore accepts no liability for any direct or indirect damage resulting from the unlawful processing of your personal data by a third party.

E. Retention period

House of Talents will retain and process your personal data for a period necessary for the performance of the agreement and in line with the purposes of the processing described above.

A suitable profile is a dynamic concept, as you, as a talent or client, grow and open up a new range of functions.

Your personal data is therefore retained as follows: for the duration of the services in accordance with the purposes described above, there is an active retention period, and as soon as there is no more contact, for a passive retention period of 5 years.
