Within the framework of any services and activities offered by Caviar, it may be necessary for Caviar to take photos, images and/or audiovisual recordings on which the customer or involved natural persons are (partially) visible or recognizable. You are aware of the fact that (processing of) such photos, images and/or audiovisual recordings are therefore necessary for certain activities and/or requested services. In that regard, in the context of the confirmation of the service, you give your consent to the recording and use of these images (by means of contract of explicit approval or any other legal basis of processing as set forth below). Of course, we never misuse this information and only use it to help you by being able to improve our services, and this always in accordance with applicable law.

Legal basis and purposes of processing

Processing in the context of to be concluded or current agreements is the most important legal basis for data processing by Caviar and its members.

If necessary, your additional, explicit and specific consent for the processing of your personal data will be requested in accordance with the GDPR. A given consent can in principle be withdrawn free of charge and electronically, unless of course there is another legal ground for the processing.

In this context Caviar notes that Caviar or its members can also process your data from a ‘legitimate interest’ ground. For example, Caviar can inform you about new, interesting offers (in your established/potential relationship with Caviar). Caviar will, as in the past, of course always do this within reasonable limits and never in an aggressive or undesired way.

If you communicate a testimonial to Caviar with regard to the services it offers/offered and the use thereof, you give permission, and Caviar has the right, without obligation, to communicate this testimonial and publish it on the website and platform of Caviar, which may also include certain personal data such as your name, your zip code, your professional activity.

If you have any questions about this, you can always contact us via our contact points as provided in this privacy policy.

Source of personal data

Caviar obtains the personal data they process, in the first place, of the natural persons themselves (directly). Of course we never abuse this data and only use it in such a way in order to optimize our services towards you.

Duration of processing

Caviar does not retain the personal data it processes for longer than necessary for the purposes of the processing. This shall on a regularly basis be reviewed and evaluated by Caviar.

In principle, Caviar does not retain the personal data for more than five (5) years from the moment the data was obtained. If necessary, for instance in case of legal proceedings or (contractual) obligations, it is possible that the personal data must of course be kept longer.

Caviar does not retain personal data from its employees longer than five (5) years after the termination of the employment contract / service agreement, except in the case of legal proceedings, in which case the data can be processed up to three (3) years after the final settlement.

Any sensitive data will only be kept for the duration necessary for the performance of the contract concerned or as long as it is necessary to maintain it in one way or another to allow Caviar to show that it has executed the agreement in a correct manner.

Caviar keeps the personal data they process up to date and corrects them where necessary.

Security of personal data

Caviar guarantees the integrity, security and confidentiality of the personal data, both technically and organizationally. Caviar stores important/sensitive personal data on its own secure servers or on secure third-party servers.

Processing by / transfer to external partners.

In first place, Caviar processes the personal data itself (both internally and externally for information and communication purposes).

Caviar and its group members only pass on data to third parties if this is necessary. Only the data that are strictly necessary are, of course, communicated. Caviar also transfers personal data to external partners, but this only to the extent that this is necessary for the performance of its activities and task as aforementioned. Caviar and its members can also share data if necessary. The necessary agreements will always be concluded with these partners, suppliers or other appointees, and contractual provisions will limit the use and processing of your personal data and guarantee adequate protection of your personal data.

The transfer of personal data to foreign parties outside the EU can prove absolutely necessary for concluded agreements in the context of its execution, and you also give permission for this processing (including within the general or specific terms and conditions concluded with Caviar). This is also within the interest of the customer.

You acknowledge that Caviar has offices in Los Angeles (USA), London (UK), Brussels (Belgium) and Paris (France), and that with regard to the requested services, data might have to be exchanged between offices.

If Caviar transfers personal data to someone outside the EU who is not on a list of ‘safe countries’ (in the context of the GDPR), then it will enforce the appropriate security guarantees to the extent possible.

Caviar ensures, to a maximum extent, that the external partners who process personal data or who are (co-) responsible for data processing, comply with the provisions of the GDPR. To this end, the aim is to conclude as many ‘processing agreements’ as possible with its main partners.

Caviar guarantees that you, as an involved natural person, can exercise the rights that the GDPR grants you (information, access, copy, improvement, rectification and right ‘to be forgotten’, restriction of and objection to processing, transferability of data).
