We consider the protection of your personal data important

We attach great importance to the protection of privacy and process your personal data with the necessary care. The personal data you provide to us is processed by the operators of this website. The administrators are therefore responsible for the processing of your data. We hereby work in accordance with the provisions of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of 24 May 2016.

Which personal data do we process?

We process the following categories of personal data:

• identification data such as title, surname, first name, address, telephone and mobile number, e-mail

• electronic identification data such as IP addresses, cookies

• national register number and identity card number

• financial and transaction data such as bank account numbers, payments, supplier data

• property information (cadastral data) such as owner data

• personal characteristics such as age, gender, date and place of birth, marital status and nationality

• sound recordings, photos and images.

This information is sent to us:

• because you have provided them to us yourself

• because we collect them when you use our sites

• because we have received them from other sources (other governments or partners).

We also process personal data for statistical research, but this data is pseudonymised. This means that we cannot trace this data to individuals or persons. We can therefore no longer identify you on the basis of this information.

Why do we process your personal data?

We process your personal data on the basis of either:

• your consent

• a contract that we conclude among ourselves

• a legal obligation that we must comply with

We try to achieve various objectives with the processing of personal data:

Newsletters and online communication:
Via newsletters, this website informs you of news about and activities in the context of our operation. You can always object to this free of charge (see below).

Photos and images:
We take photos and films on various occasions / activities (especially forest baths). Our employees do this themselves, or we use professional photographers for this. We use these photos and films for promotional purposes, so to make our operation more known. You can always object to this free of charge (see below).

Functionality of our website:
We want our website to work properly and that you can quickly find your information. That is why we collect data from visitors using analysis software. We also want your visit to our website to be optimal. That is why we work with cookies. You can prevent the use of cookies via the settings of your browser or that you receive certain warnings when installing or removing cookies. Please note: if you do not allow cookies, our site may not work optimally.

How do we process your personal data?

We take all technical and organizational measures to ensure that the processing of your data is secure and we require third parties who treat or process your personal data for us to do the same. Access to your personal data is limited to prevent unauthorized access, modification or misuse and is only permitted for those employees who need your data to perform their job. These employees are obliged to handle the data discreetly and comply with all technical regulations in order to process the data securely.

The data is kept for as long as necessary to be able to offer our services, because we have an interest in it or to comply with our legal obligations.

Do we pass on your personal data to third parties?

We will never share your details with third parties, unless in the following cases:

• it is necessary to achieve the aforementioned objectives (see "Why do we process your personal data?")

• you give us written permission for this

• we are legally obliged to do this

• they are requested in the context of a judicial investigation

Participant lists:
If you participate in these events, we assume that your name, first name and organization may be distributed among the other participants of the event, if that would contribute to the design and success of the event. We do this, for example, at events that are specifically aimed at networking and making contacts.

Photo and footage:
Our employees have access to these media and can use the material in the context of their assignments. This also means that they can publish this material through our website and through social media. In addition, photo and visual material can be provided to other local authorities and partners, but this is done under strict conditions and only for provincial promotion purposes, so to make our activities more known.

Hosting and service providers:
We use a number of applications or programs to process your data. A number of these applications are available at external service providers who specialize in this. Some of those suppliers have also developed the application and are responsible for managing the application for us. We have entered into commitments with these suppliers to ensure that they also handle your personal data carefully and correctly.

What are your rights and how can you exercise them?

As a data subject you have certain rights and as administrators of this website we want to ensure that you can exercise them easily. You must take into account that not all these rights can be invoked just like that. As a government agency, we have a number of legal obligations and fulfill tasks of general interest and public authority, which means that we cannot always respond to requests for access, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, portability and objection to processing. In this sense, exceptions are provided for in the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of 24 May 2016. We will always motivate a refusal on our part.

For certain processing operations, you as a data subject always have the right to withdraw your consent free of charge. This is the case with the newsletters, where you can unsubscribe via a link in a newsletter. Even with invitations to events, you will always be given the option to unsubscribe from future invitations via a link in the message.

For photos and images, you can contact the guide or the photographer at the time and make it known that you do not want to be filmed or photographed. When a photo or film is published on which you are recognizable in the picture and you want to cancel this publication, it is sufficient to ask your question in our contact form . Do not forget to mention which photo or film it is about and where you saw it. We may request additional information for this to determine whether your question is legitimate.

If it is not about newsletters, invitations or photos and images but about other processing activities in which your personal data are used, you can exercise your rights in various ways:

INSIGHT? To view your data: contact us via the contact form .

CORRECTION, ADDITIONAL AND OTHER QUESTIONS? For all other questions, in particular the correction of incorrect data or about the addition of incomplete data: contact us via the contact form .

Please note: in order to answer your question, we need proof of your identity. This can be done by sending a copy or a scan of your identity card. We will only use this copy or scan to determine whether you are actually the data subject whose personal data are being processed, or the parent or guardian in the case of under-16s. As soon as we are both satisfied with the answer to your question, we will destroy the copy or scan.

Processing by our partners

This website has a number of partners (mainly guides) who also help us and provide information. They too must process your personal data in accordance with the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of 24 May 2016.

Where can you go if you are not satisfied with the way we handle your data?

We do our utmost to handle your personal data correctly. If you are not satisfied with our working method, please contact us in the first place. You will find the contact details at the bottom of this page.
