YUSO attaches great importance to your privacy and protects your personal data by applying the General Data Protection Regulation (European Regulation 2016/679 on the protection of personal data, hereinafter: “GDPR”), as well as the legislation concerning electronic communications and other applicable legal provisions.

identified. The section below informs you which specific personal data are processed by us, for what purposes and on the basis of which legal basis.
When you place an order on our web shop, your first name, last name, telephone number, billing and/or delivery address and payment details are being processed.
We use this account information to finalize the payment, to deliver your order and to keep you informed on the status of your order.
The processing of your account details in the context of an order processing on the web shop is necessary for the performance of the purchase agreement.
When filling in the contact form on the website, you enter the following personal data: first name, last name, e-mail address and your question or message. If you contact us directly (by e-mail, telephone or letter), our customer service department will process your contact details and the content of the correspondence.
We only use this information to respond as appropriately as possible to your question or complaint. Telephone calls to our customer service department are not recorded or stored. In addition, we may use your e-mail address to send out surveys to improve our service.

Your contact details are kept in our customer system to inform you about our actions, promotions, benefits and events. In addition, we communicate some of our marketing actions through our own website, third-party websites and different social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and LinkedIn. We may create target groups based on e-mail addresses, mobile phone numbers or visitors of our website, and approach them with personalized ads through these channels.
We send these communications if you have given us your consent to do so. You will also receive certain information as an existing customer of YUSO, if we notice that you are interested in or benefit from our services or products. In doing so, we base ourselves on the legitimate interest of YUSO.
If you participate in an YUSO event, we usually register your first name, last name and e-mail address. During most events there is also a photographer walking around to capture the atmosphere and take photos of all those present, which we can post on our social media afterwards. At certain events you can also pose for the photobooth and register your e-mail address to receive your photos in your mailbox.
Your contact details will be processed so that we can register you for the event and send you related information. Photos can be published on our social media channels to put the event in the spotlight.
Your registration for the event is based on your consent. For the subsequent sending of the photos of the photobooth your prior consent is required as well. The publication of photos on social media is based on legitimate interest of YUSO for online visibility. You can always withdraw your consent in accordance with point 5 of this Privacy Statement or request your photo to be removed by sending a link or reference from the photo to info@yuso.brussels.

We restrict the transfer of your personal data to countries outside the European Economic Area (European Union + Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein).

YUSO uses your personal data for specific purposes and only collects the personal data necessary to achieve those purposes.
We want to be as transparent and clear as possible about the activities for which we collect and use your personal data. In accordance with the GDPR, we herewith enumerate the various rights you have with regard to your personal data.
Right to be informed
YUSO strives to be transparent by providing the necessary information about the processing of your personal data, via this Privacy Statement or via specific notifications at the time of its collection.
Right to access
You have the right at any time and free of charge to access your personal data and to request a copy of the personal data that YUSO holds about you.
Right to rectification
If the personal data that YUSO stores about you are incorrect or incomplete, you have the right to ask us to correct or complete it. You are responsible for the accuracy of the data when you provide it yourself. This allows you to update your account details in your personal account online at any time.
Right to erasure
In certain cases, you have the right to request the deletion of your personal data. We will delete your personal data without undue delay if we have no legal reason or legitimate reason to continue its processing.
Right to restriction of processing
In certain cases, you have the right to ask us to limit the processing of your personal data. This means that we may store the data, but may not process it further.
Right to data portability
This right only applies to the personal data you have provided to us on the basis of consent or in the context of the performance of an agreement. YUSO will transfer your personal data in a structured and accessible format to you and/or directly to another institution or person of your choice.
Right to object
You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data if the processing takes place on the ground of the
legitimate interest of YUSO or on the ground of the public interest. We will stop processing unless we can prove that there are compelling legitimate grounds for the processing or for the exercise of legal claims. You can also object in the case of direct marketing, so the personal data will no longer be processed for these purposes.
Right to withdraw your consent
For the processing of your personal data collected by YUSO with your consent, you can withdraw your consent at any time. For example, you can unsubscribe from the newsletters, our marketing communications or events. You can also fill in the online contact form with the request to withdraw a certain consent or send an email to info@yuso.brussels. Please note, however, it may take some time to process your request and that in the meantime there is a chance that you will still receive the communication. Also bear in mind that the withdrawal of your consent does not apply to processing previously carried out by YUSO.
How can you exercise these rights?
You can exercise these rights by sending an e-mail to info@yuso.brussels or by sending a letter to the head office at Avenue de Messidor 105, 1180 Brussels, Belgium. To ensure that the request originates from you, you can only send a request by e-mail from the e-mail address that is known to us or registered with us, or by sending a letter provided that you enclose proof of identity.
If you believe that YUSO does not process your personal data lawfully and according to the legal requirements, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority (Belgian data protection authority).
YUSO has taken technical and organizational security measures to prevent the destruction, loss, falsification, alteration,
unauthorized access or disclosure of personal data to third parties and any other unauthorized processing of these data.
Under no circumstances can YUSO be held liable for any direct or indirect damage resulting from the erroneous or unlawful use of personal data by a third party.
