III – INFORMATION ON DATA TRANSFERS
Did you know? Your data can be transferred outside the European Union. Don't worry, these transfers are carried out with the greatest care. Let us explain…
Why do we transfer your data?
The main reason for transferring your data outside the European Union is the location of our subcontractors.
In fact, with a view to providing you with high-quality services, we decided to outsource some of our operations to specialised service providers who have genuine expertise in their fields (for example: accommodation). And some of these service providers are established outside the European Union.
How are these data transfers monitored?
We always select our subcontractors with the greatest care, no matter what countries they are established in. This is especially the case for how your data is secured. These subcontractors act solely on DECATHLON's instructions and at no time use your data for anything other than performing the services that we entrust them with. In each case, a contract is signed between DECATHLON and the selected subcontractors.
When our service providers are established outside the European Union, we make it a matter of pride to prioritise their selection from countries whose legal framework provides a satisfactory level of security.
The list of these countries is available here:
https://www.dataprotectionauthority.be/citizen
When that's not possible, we supervise the transfers through adequate legal mechanisms, for instance by signing additional contract clauses specially intended for this kind of transfer.
How do you know if your data is being transferred?
If you wish to know whether your data is transferred, go to the section "Transfer outside the EU" in the description of the relevant processing.
IV – YOUR RIGHTS
The fact that you are entrusting us with your data does not mean you are losing control of them – quite the opposite! Please read the following explanation….
You have a number of rights. Some are applicable to all processing of the data concerning you, while others depend on the type of processing carried out and, more specifically, the legal basis on which it is based (contract, legal obligation, consent, legitimate interest, etc.).
You will find a brief description of these rights below, along with the ways in which they are implemented.
To find out about the specific rights related to the data processing that concerns you, consult the section "your rights" in the description of the relevant processing in our privacy policy.
Right of access:
This right allows you to ask us questions about the nature of the data processing that concerns you (type of data, origin of collection, etc.). It also allows you to ask us for a copy of all the information we have about you. This right is applicable regardless of the legal basis for the processing that concerns you.
Right of rectification:
There are many reasons you might want to update your data: moving house, getting married, new sport, and so on. That is exactly what the right of rectification is for. This right is applicable regardless of the legal basis for the processing that concerns you.
Right to object:
This is the right to say "no!", more specifically the right to not appear in data processing or to no longer appear there. This right is applicable when the processing is based on DECATHLON's "legitimate interest", as long as this interest is not "compelling".
Right of deletion:
This is the right to be forgotten... and that's absolutely understandable. DECATHLON has no reason to keep your data beyond what is required. All data concerning you will therefore be automatically erased at the end of the retention period indicated at the time your data was collected. When your data is the subject of processing based on your consent or on DECATHLON's legitimate (non-compelling) interest, you can obtain the advance deletion of your data. How? All you have to do is express your wish to proceed with the withdrawal of your consent, or exercise your right to object to the processing.
Right of portability:
This right enables you to request to obtain the data concerning you, when it is subject to processing based on your consent or a contractual relation. How does this differ from the right of access? We have an obligation to transfer the data in a format that can technically be used by you or by another entity than DECATHLON.
Right of limitation:
This right is complementary to some of the other rights mentioned before. Actually, it allows you to "pause" your data, for instance after a rectification request. In case of doubt about the legality of one of our processing methods, this right would allow you to ask our teams to stop processing your data, but without erasing them. And finally, if you wish to have your rights established, exercised or defended in court, this right enables you to request to "freeze" your data. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact us!
You can exercise your rights by contacting us at one of the following addresses:
By e-mail: just send a message to :dpo.belgium@decathlon.be
By post: DECATHLON BE – personal data protection – 1, Avenue Jules Bordet, 1140 EVERE
To make sure your request is handled as efficiently as possible, don't forget to:
state the type of processing concerned by your request
state the right(s) you wish to exercise
communicate any information that will allow us to make sure the person issuing the request is actually the person concerned by the processing (number of Decathlon card, number of latest order, contact details, etc.).
If, in spite of our best efforts, you consider that your rights have not been respected, note that you can contact the Belgian Data Protection Authority through: https://www.dataprotectionauthority.be/citizen
