Privacy and Cookie Policy Belgian Horse Trading

On 25 May 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) enters into force. This European law is also referred to in the Netherlands by the abbreviation AVG (Algemene Verordening Gegevensverwerking). 

This legislation stipulates new and stricter regulations for the storage and use of personal data. It applies to both commercial and non-commercial organisations. Every company or self-employed person must ensure that the storage and use of data regarding customers, suppliers, employees, etc. complies with the new statutory provisions. 

Belgian Horse Trading attaches great importance to the protection of personal data and identifiable information that you provide to us. 

The Basic Data Protection Regulation ultimately builds on what we already do, namely ensure your personal data has additional security and transparency.

Since you have used our services in the past, you are currently registered as a contact person in our database.

We consider it important to inform you of the way in which we use your personal data and to provide you with a choice about how that data is used. As we have done in the past, we want to make the terms of our legitimate use of your personal data fully transparent and give you the ability to control our use of your personal data.

We want to get to know you better so that we can offer you better service. However, the decision about whether you want to make use of this service is up to you. If you do not want us to send you any personal offers, information or other promotional communications, you can let us know at any time by contacting us.

We therefore recommend that you read this policy carefully.
