Personal data processing is subject to European Regulation 2016/676 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of individuals with regard to processing personal data and on the free movement of such data, as well as the law of 30 July 2018 on the protection of individuals with regard to processing personal data.

This privacy policy applies to all services provided by Waer Waters and generally to all the activities we perform.

We process your personal data for various purposes. During each handling, we only process the personal data that is necessary to achieve the intended purpose.

Directly from you:

In view of the nature of the service, Waer Waters can only offer you services if certain personal data is shared with us. The personal data we collect always comes exclusively from you.

When you visit Waer Waters, we may ask for your ID card. Using automatic ID card scanning, we can collect only personal data for which no PIN or other authentication is required, i.e., your name and address details.

If you do not wish to have your identity card scanned during your visit, this is no problem for us. One of our employees can enter your personal data manually. However, our employee will verify the information that you provide (your identity) with that on the identity card.

When you send an email to us, we may keep those messages and ask for some of your personal data, which is necessary for the situation. This allows us to process your questions and respond to your requests.

During your visit to Waer Waters, some of your personal data will be linked to an RFID wristband. Upon arrival, you will receive an RFID wristband that allows you to choose and operate a locker, order food and drink in the facilities of Waer Waters, and to get access to the wellness or fitness area according to your wishes. The gates and turnstiles are equipped with an RFID reader. They check the wristband for validity before opening, and show us if you are in our wellness facilities, a restaurant or the fitness room.

Everything you use during your visit to Waer Waters is scanned onto your RFID wristband during your visit. When you leave Waer Waters, your RFID band will be scanned and your bill made up.

After your visit to Waer Waters, the RFID wristband is disconnected from your personal data so that it can be linked to a new visitor.

We may also collect information regarding your use of our website. We use cookies for this purpose. Since cookies are also personal data, this privacy policy should be read in conjunction with our cookie policy.

Via camera surveillance:

Camera surveillance is used at Waer Waters. Waer Waters does this to ensure the safety of its visitors.

Our camera surveillance is clearly indicated by visible stickers in and on the facilities.

In the event of an incident, the camera images may be made available to police and judicial authorities, within the legal framework, in order to support reporting of a criminal offence. The camera images will not be shared with third parties unless there is a legal or other type of obligation to do so.

If you click on these buttons, your personal data will be processed by the relevant social network. This privacy statement does not apply to processing of your personal data by these social networks. To learn more about how these social networks handle your personal data, please refer to the privacy policies of each of these social networks.

Waer Waters processes your personal data for the following purposes:

 

5.7.THE LEGAL BASIS OF THE DATA PROCESSING

Waer Waters bases its actions in regard to processing your personal data on the following legal grounds:

Permission: When we ask for your permission to process your personal data and you give it to us. You may withdraw this permission at any time. This withdrawal shall apply only to the period after withdrawal and shall not affect the legality of any processing that took place up to the date of withdrawal.

Execution of an Agreement: If processing your personal data by Waer Waters is necessary in order to perform our services.

Legal obligation: If processing your personal data is necessary to comply with a legal obligation that Waer Waters is subject to.

Legitimate interests: Processing is necessary for the protection of Waer Waters' legitimate interests.

 

5.8.SECURITY AND RETENTION PERIOD

Waer Waters takes appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized processing.

Personal data: Waer Waters does not retain personal data for longer than is necessary for the purpose for which it was provided. This means that Waer Waters does not retain your data for longer than is necessary to provide the service(s) concerned to you. The personal data will be automatically deleted from our system after a maximum period of 5 years of inactivity. The foregoing shall not apply if Waer Waters is required, on grounds of a legal obligation, to retain data for longer.

Camera images; Access to the camera images is only permitted for authorized persons. Camera images are stored for up to 30 days before they are automatically deleted unless an incident has occurred. In this case, the images will be deleted when they are no longer required in connection with the incident.

 

5.9.PROVIDING INFORMATION TO THIRD PARTIES

We do not pass on or sell your personal data to others, unless this is necessary for the provision of the service, required by law, or we have your written consent.

We always conclude a data processing agreement with organizations that process your personal data on behalf of Waer Waters, e.g., the company that makes our website. This ensures that they also treat your personal data in a secure and confidential manner.

 

5.10.YOUR RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO YOUR PERSONAL DATA

You have the right to an understandable and transparent explanation of how we handle your personal data. In this connection, you have the following rights.

Right to correction: You have the right to correct your personal data if it is incorrect or out of date and/or to have it restated if it is incomplete.

Right to object: You have the right to object to the fact that your personal data will be processed if that processing is based on a public collective interest or the legitimate interest of the processor of your personal data.

Right to restrict processing: You have the right to request a restriction on processing your personal data. By limiting the processing of your personal data, your personal data can still be retained, but its use is limited.
