Security and confidentiality
Only duly authorised persons have access to personal data that is relevant for the performance of their assignment. Those persons may only use the data if and insofar as required for the performance of their assignment. They are bound to observe strict professional discretion and to comply with all technical requirements designed to safeguard the confidentiality of the personal data and the security of the systems that contain this data.
Pantarein Publishing takes the protection of your data very seriously and implements suitable measures to prevent misuse, loss, unauthorised access, unwanted disclosure and unauthorised alteration of the same. Sigmaplan.be uses a reliable SSL certificate to ensure that your personal data does not fall into the wrong hands.
If you have the impression that your data is not secure or that there are indications of misuse, or if you wish to have more information about the security of personal data collected by Pantarein Publishing, please contact Pantarein Publishing via info@sigmaplan.be.
But you can also help protect your own data ... Pantarein Publishing has little or no influence on specific aspects of (technical) data processing. This applies, for example, to communication via the internet or mobile phones (for example, smartphones), where adequate security cannot be offered. If (cyber) criminals - hackers for example - are active, Pantarein Publishing cannot always be expected to (continue to) succeed in effectively keeping them out. Sometimes Pantarein Publishing has absolutely no control over certain situations, such as when someone manages to get your identification data by installing something on your computer (for example a spyware) or by creating a fake website (‘phishing’). You are therefore requested to also take into account that specific channels are less secure than others, when delivering data to Pantarein Publishing or when asking Pantarein Publishing to provide you with certain data.
You can also actively take measures to prevent possible misuse or at least to make this difficult, for example by:
- installing and updating antivirus software
- not leaving your device unattended
- keeping your passwords strictly confidential and creating strong passwords: among other things, not using obvious terms or numbers, by combining adequate numbers and letters together ...
- by being alert against any unusual elements, such as an unusual website address, strange requests (for example a request for client data via e-mail) ...
Also keep in mind that some means of communication (such as e-mail) are operated by external suppliers. If Pantarein Publishing and you exchange messages using these means of communication, these messages may possibly be intercepted.
