2. Purpose of the processing

We use your data to improve the service you expect from us or to answer the question you raised.

If you have indicated by thicking the relevant box that you would like to be kept informed of these things, your data will be used in the context of our direct marketing activities, for instance to be able to send you our newsletter and/or to announce our actions, promotions or events.

We also use your data to manage our client and prospects database.

The information you provide us when registering for a brewery visit or event will only be used for that particular organisation and execution of such brewery visit or event. If the same or a similar event will be organised again on a later date, we will use your contact information in order to inform you about is so you do not need to miss it.

The Website uses cookies that we use to improve our internet service, among other things. More information on the use of cookies can be found below under Section 10.

4. With whom we share your data

We never sell your information to third parties for commercial or other purposes. The basic premise is that your data will only be used within Lindemans. Certain personal data will, however, be shared with third-party service providers who will process it, such as our promotional and marketing agencies and our IT, accountancy, auditing and legal service providers and insurers. The data may also be shared with:

- third parties for the purposes for which you have given specific permission; and

- third parties who provide services to you on our instructions (like subcontractors who assist us in our service provision to you, third parties who provide printing services and/or for the printing of personalised publicity, gift vouchers or other correspondence, postal and courier services for the delivery of the prizes won, the gift vouchers and, if applicable, other goods purchased), insofar as they have confirmed to us that they comply with the GDPR; and

- third parties whereby this sharing is imposed on us by law or other regulations, pursuant to a lawsuit or by a government/administration or pursuant to a judicial or arbitration award.

Finally, we are entitled to share the data if we believe that it is necessary or desirable to provide information about you in order to prevent physical damage or financial loss or in connection with an investigation into alleged or actual fraud or illegal activities.

5. Retention periods

In principle, all personal data are only retained for as long as necessary for the intended purpose. Our retention periods for this data depend on the purpose of your request. Please bear in mind that a longer retention period may be necessary because of a law or other regulations, pursuant to a lawsuit or government request or pursuant to a judicial or arbitration award. Your data is retained for our direct marketing activities until you let us know that you are no longer interested, and there is no other reason to keep it and use it. All electronic communication with you include an unsubscribe link. The personal data that you provide with a specific action, promotion or brewery visit in mind will be removed after the relevant event has ended, unless there is another ground for further processing (for instance, we will continue to use your e-mail address after the end of the competition in which you participated so that we can provide you with the newsletter for which you have subscribed).

6. Your rights

You have the right to access, rectify or change your personal data at any time. We would like to draw your attention to the fact that you are the only one who is responsible for the accuracy of the data you provide to Lindemans.

You can also ask us to limit the use of your data if the legal requirements are met. In that case, we will continue to store your data, but we will restrict the use of it.

You also have the right to be forgotten. We will delete the personal data without undue delay in the cases stipulated in the GDPR.

You also have the right to object to the processing of your data if you believe that there are serious and justified reasons for this. You are not entitled to object if this processing is necessary for the fulfilment of contractual obligations. As far as processing for direct marketing purposes is concerned, you can object at any time without justifying your decision.

You can obtain or have transferred the personal data that you gave us.

You can exercise your rights free of charge by sending your request to the e-mail address or postal address mentioned in Section 12, with a copy of your identity card as attachment for verification purposes.
