This privacy policy clarifies how we generally process your personal data at The Ecological Entrepreneur. For example, when you visit one of our websites or webshop:<\/p>

www.theecologicalentrepreneur.eu<\/a>
www.theecologicalentrepreneur.be<\/a>

This privacy policy also applies when you apply for vacancies or when you use our services in general and we are the data controller with respect to the processing of your personal data. However, when performing our services, we generally act as processors for our clients. How we handle personal data in that case is described in the processor agreement we enter and depends on our client’s instructions. If you, as a data subject, have any questions about the processing of your personal data in that context, you can contact the controller, being our customer.<\/p>

Please note, if our website directs you to another website, please be aware that different terms and conditions or a different privacy policy may apply.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Each processing activity of personal data is based on a specific legal basis. The legal basis on which our processing activities are based are clearly stated in the overview above, but we think it is important to explain each of these concepts in more detail:<\/p>

Execution of the agreement<\/strong><\/p><\/td>

This legal basis means that we process your personal data to offer you, our services.<\/p><\/td><\/tr>

Legitimate interest (of the controller or a third party)<\/strong><\/p><\/td>

This legal basis involves balancing our processing of your personal data against its impact on your privacy. We always strive to maintain the right balance in this regard. The interests we pursue are:<\/p>

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Making the best possible recruitment decisions;<\/p>

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Business development in general;<\/p>

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Providing the best customer service.<\/p><\/td><\/tr>

Permission<\/strong><\/p><\/td>

This legal basis is only used when you explicitly consent (e.g., via opt-in) to the use of your personal data for specific purposes.<\/p><\/td><\/tr>

Legal obligation<\/strong><\/p><\/td>

This legal basis means that our processing of your personal data is based on a legal obligation imposed on us.<\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

We always aim to process as little personal data as necessary for the purpose we are pursuing. For example, the personal data we request are often essential for us to be able to assist you or provide the services you have requested. Without processing such personal data, we would often be unable to respond to your request.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
