General information

Collecting and recording of personal data

In principle, you can use this website without providing any personal data. However, certain parts of the website or the use of certain features may only be accessible if you provide certain personal data.

Visitors to this website can also register via this website. By registering on this website, your personal data will automatically be accessible to other Harvestis media, and this data may also be shared with third parties.

The personal data (e.g. surname, first name, address, date of birth, email address, telephone number, etc.) that visitors provide when registering is recorded and processed in Harvestis’s customer database.

In accordance with the Data Protection Act of 8 December 1992, the E-Commerce Act of 11 March 2003 and the Royal Decree of 4 April 2003 on personal data, you have the right at any time to access, amend and have your data deleted.

You warrant that the information you provide is accurate and complete. Providing false identities, incomplete or inaccurate information, or information relating to third parties who have not given their consent, may result in the user being denied access, either temporarily or permanently, to all or part of the Harvestis websites.

Minors

Harvestis ensures that the privacy of minors is protected and encourages parents to take an active interest in their children’s online activities.

Harvestis will not knowingly or intentionally collect personal data from minors.

Harvestis encourages minors who visit a Harvestis website to inform their parents about their online activity and to ask their parents’ opinion before sending any personal data to Harvestis.

Harvestis encourages minors who wish to register to read Harvestis’s privacy policy carefully with their parents before registering on the website.

We recommend that minors use a pseudonym in their email address rather than their real name. We also recommend that minors only provide the information necessary for using Harvestis’s online services.
Minors may view and correct their personal data at any time and object to its use by simply submitting a request to Harvestis using the registration form.

Parental consent is also required when applying for subscriptions, products and services offered by Harvestis via its websites. Subscriptions, products and services are always subject to Harvestis’ terms and conditions.

Use of data for internal purposes

The data may be used to keep the user informed of offers from Harvestis (editorial initiatives, market research, special offers, personalised information and promotional campaigns regarding our products and services, and other matters). Subscribers or users who wish to do so may object to this at any time.

With every email you receive, you have the option to unsubscribe from future electronic communications.

Harvestis will not retain your data for longer than is permitted by law and, in any event, for no longer than is necessary for the purposes set out herein.

Harvestis also stores information in its databases that is necessary to provide certain services, such as online portfolio management. This information is stored to ensure the service runs smoothly. For example, online portfolio monitoring and similar services are only possible once you have entered the relevant information into our databases.

Disclosure of data to third parties

Your details may be passed on to other companies which Harvestis believes may have information of interest to you: surname, first name, street, house number, flat number, postcode, town/city, telephone number. Subscribers or users who do not wish this to happen may object at any time.

Harvestis shall in no circumstances be liable for the use that third parties make of your data. For example, Harvestis’s websites may contain links to third-party websites or advertisements from third-party advertisers through which your personal data is collected. This collection and processing of data is not the responsibility of Harvestis, but falls under the responsibility of the relevant advertiser or the operator of the website in question that you visit.

Access to and correction of data

Subscribers or users may access their registered personal data. This data can be updated at any time via the registration form.

In accordance with the Law on the Protection of Privacy of 8 December 1992 concerning personal data, the E-Commerce Act of 11 March 2003 and the Royal Decree of 4 April 2003, you have the right at any time to access, amend and have that data deleted if you no longer wish to receive information about our activities.

Cookies

When you visit Harvestis’s websites, cookies are placed on your computer; cookies are small pieces of information that are stored on your computer’s hard drive whenever you visit a website. The primary purpose is to make the website easier to use (for example, by ensuring that certain information, such as login details, does not need to be re-entered). Cookies can be blocked from the hard drive in most internet browsers by disabling them; however, the proper functioning of the website can then no longer be guaranteed in all circumstances.

Cookies and log files also enable us to analyse how the website is used. Under no circumstances do we track what information individual users view or print. The aim is to collect statistical information that will enable us to optimise the website and provide information to advertisers.

Harvestis’s websites may use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses ‘cookies’ (small text files stored on your computer) to help the website analyse how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google uses this information to track how you use the website, to compile reports on website activity for website operators, and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google may disclose this information to third parties if Google is legally required to do so, or insofar as such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. Google will not combine your IP address with any other data held by Google. You can refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser. Please note, however, that in that case you may not be able to make full use of all the features of this website. By using this website, you consent to the processing of your information by Google in the manner and for the purposes set out above.
