Privacy Policy

Participants can register for the event via this website. If their application meets the eligibility criteria and if places are available for the event, they will be invited to register for the event. The event is organized in two parts: the main event, a full-day cybersecurity experience, and a follow-up event organized 6 to 12 weeks later.

We collect personal identification information from Users when Users register on the site. Users may be asked for their first and last name, email address, phone number, profession, employer information, province of residence and year of birth. This information allows CSC to process applications for registration for the event.

We may use email addresses to send Users information and updates about their participation in the event. This does not constitute direct marketing, but is an integral part of the event. Email addresses may also be used to respond to questions, requests and other inquiries.

In collaboration with the Catholic University of Leuven (KUL), CSC is conducting a study on the impact of awareness initiatives, such as this event, on the cybersecurity resilience of Belgian small and medium-sized enterprises. Furthermore, since this event is funded by federal and European grants, CSC is required to report on the socio-economic profile of the participants. For this purpose, we may use the collected information to define the socio-economic profiles of participants; however, this information will be anonymized.

CSC retains participants' personal data until no later than March 31, 2027, the deadline for submitting final reports to the Belgian Federal Government and the European Commission. As noted above, reported data will be anonymized. After this date, your personal data will be deleted from our systems.

Users may find advertisements or other content on our site that link to the websites and services of our partners, suppliers, advertisers, sponsors, licensors and other third parties. We do not control the content or links that appear on these sites and are not responsible for the practices employed by websites linked to or from our site.

CSC has the discretion to update this privacy policy at any time. We encourage Users to periodically review this privacy policy and to be aware of changes.

By using this site, you signify your acceptance of this policy. If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use our site. Your continued use of the site following any changes to this policy will be considered acceptance of those changes.

You have the right to: - Request access to your personal data (also known as a "data subject access request").

This allows you to correct incomplete or inaccurate data, although we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide. - Request deletion of your personal data. This allows you to ask us to delete or remove personal data when there is no good reason for us to continue processing it. - Object to the processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest. Furthermore, you have the right to file a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority if the processing of your personal data violates applicable law.
