This privacy statement represents the entire online privacy policy applicable to Belgomilk's online activities. The statement explains the type of information we collect from online users and how we use that information.

Our website is managed in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”), (Regulation (EU) 2016/679), which is a directly binding legislative act. GDPR creates some new rights for individuals and strengthens some of the rights that recently existed under Directive 95/46/EC. Directive 95/46/EC will be repealed with effect from 25 May 2018. This policy has complied with GDPR and is therefore also compliant with Directive 95/46/EC and its national implementations until they are repealed on May 25, 2018.

The privacy policy is under the responsibility of Belgomilk’s legal team, which has overall responsibility for the compliance. Belgomilk must be considered as the data protection controller and will determine the purposes and means of processing personal data submitted and collected online.
