What is meant by personal data?
According to Article 1 of the Belgian Law of 8 December 1992, personal data refers to “any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person”.
This may include, for example, your name, address, telephone number, national registration number, email address, photograph, etc.
Furthermore, personal data does not only concern information relating to a person’s private life, but also data relating to their professional or public life. However, only information relating to a natural person, and not information relating to a legal entity or association, is taken into account.

It is important to note that some of these companies host their data in the United States, but comply with European and Belgian privacy legislation regarding the processing of personal data, based on the ‘Safe Harbor Principles’.
