The employees use automated systems purchased from third parties. In addition to IT suppliers, the board also has contracts for personnel management, legal assistance, etc. These suppliers are processors who process personal data on behalf of the board. To guarantee privacy, a processing agreement has been concluded with these suppliers. These suppliers are bound by the same legal bases and security measures as those that apply to the board.

Zilvermeer and the Antwerp Province group can collaborate with other government bodies. These parties may also exchange personal data. To guarantee privacy, we always make contractual agreements about finality, proportionality, confidentiality and security of the data exchange.

b) Purposes for the processing

The group of the Province of Antwerp collects your personal data for various purposes, for example to conduct correspondence, provide information by means of newsletters or when you fill in a contact or application form on our website or send us an e-mail, then your data will be used. to answer or handle your question. This data is not used for other purposes. The legal basis for processing your personal data (consent of the data subject, necessary for the execution of an agreement, necessary to comply with a legal obligation, necessary for the fulfillment of a task in the public interest) depends on the intended purposes.
