Personal data is defined as any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.

The personal data we collect is grouped mainly in two sections: Business Contacts and Employees and Recruitment Applicants.The data is collected and used for the purposes as listed hereunder for each section:

We may also use your personal data to fulfil our obligations as set out by the applicable law.

Employees and Recruitment Applicants:

We collect personal data from our internal staff as an integral part of administering, managing, and promoting our business activities.

Candidates applying online for a role advertised on the VS Consulting careers website must confirm they have read and accepted our privacy policy. The data collected from the candidate is used to select and recruit the right person for current and future vacancies.

The different categories of personal data:

  • Contact data: in the event you make use of the contact form, you will be asked to provide the following information: name, address, e-mail address, and any personal data that you choose to put in the designated blank field (please do not provide us with any sensitive information, such as health information, information pertaining to criminal convictions, or credit card/account numbers). This is information that is provided directly by you.
  • Usage data: We collect personal data regarding your activities on our website: IP address, device ID and type, referral source, language settings, browser type, operating system, geographical location, length of visit, page views, or information about the timing, frequency and pattern of your service use. This information may be aggregated and used to help us provide more useful information regarding the use of our website. In the event the usage data is completely anonymized (and can therefore not be traced back to you as an individual), this will not be considered personal data for the purpose of this Privacy Policy. This is personal data that is automatically collected through your use of the website.

The legal basis for the processing of your personal data can be legitimate interest (optimization of the website experience, security, fraud detection), the execution of a contract (should you engage with us in connection with a contract for the execution of one or more services). In the event the legal basis for the processing of your personal data is consent, you will, at all times, have the right to withdraw your consent. This will, however, not affect the lawfulness of any processing done prior to the withdrawal of consent.

In the event you withdraw your consent or you object to our use of your personal data, and such objection is successful, we will remove your personal data from our databases.

Please note that we will retain the personal data necessary to ensure your preferences are respected in the future.

The foregoing will, however, not prevent us from retaining any personal data if this is necessary to comply with our legal obligations, in order to file a legal claim or defend ourselves against a legal claim, or for evidential purposes.

The right to rectification

If the personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to have this information rectified or, taking into account the purposes of the processing, completed.

The right to restrict processing;

You have the right to restrict the processing of your personal data (meaning that the personal data may only be stored by us and may only be used for limited purposes), if:

  • You contest the accuracy of the personal data (and only for as long as it takes to verify that accuracy);
  • The processing is unlawful, and you request restriction (as opposed to exercising the right to erasure);
  • We no longer need the personal data for the purposes of our processing, but you require personal data for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims; or,
  • You have objected to processing, pending the verification of that objection.

In addition to our right to store your personal data, we may still otherwise process it but only with your consent, for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest.

The right to object to processing

You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data on grounds relating to your particular situation, but only to the extent that the legal basis for the processing is that the processing is necessary for:

  • The performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of any official authority vested in us;
  • The purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party.

If you make such an objection, we will cease to process the personal information unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing is for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes (including profiling for direct marketing purposes). If you make such an objection, we will cease to process your personal data for this purpose.

The right to complain to a supervisory authority

If you consider that our processing of your personal information infringes data protection laws, you have a legal right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority responsible for data protection. You may do so in the EU member state of your habitual residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement. In Belgium, you can submit a complaint to the Data Protection Authority:
