Het GeheugenPaleis VZW,
located at Koningsstraat 33, PO Box 5, 3970 Leopoldsburg, Belgium,
is responsible for the processing of personal data as set out in this privacy statement.
Kasper Bormans is the Data Protection Officer at Het GeheugenPaleis.
He can be contacted at privacy@memorypalace.be.
Het Geheugenpaleis VZW processes your personal data because you use our services and/or because you provide this data to us yourself. Below is an overview of the personal data we may process:
Our website and/or service does not intend to collect data about website visitors under the age of 16, unless they have parental or guardian consent. However, we cannot verify whether a visitor is over 16. We therefore advise parents to be involved in their children’s online activities to prevent data about children from being collected without parental consent. If you believe that we have collected personal data about a minor without such consent, please contact us at privacy@memorypalace.be, and we will delete this information.
The Geheugenpaleis VZW processes your personal data for the following purposes:
Het Geheugenpaleis VZW does not make decisions based on automated processing on matters that may have (significant) consequences for individuals. This refers to decisions taken by computer programmes or systems without human intervention (for example, by an employee of Het Geheugenpaleis VZW).
The Geheugenpaleis VZW does not retain your personal data for longer than is strictly necessary to fulfil the purposes for which your data is collected. We apply the following retention periods to the following (categories) of personal data:
Contact details (first name and surname, email address)
> Retention period: 2 years, renewed upon mutual contact
> Reason: to execute or provide information about our services
Computer data (IP address, web browser and device type)
> Retention period: 2 years
> Reason: to optimise our website and services
Het Geheugenpaleis VZW does not sell your data to third parties and will only disclose it if this is necessary for the performance of our agreement with you or to comply with a legal obligation. We enter into a data processing agreement with companies that process your data on our behalf to ensure the same level of security and confidentiality for your data. Het Geheugenpaleis VZW remains responsible for this data processing.
Het Geheugenpaleis VZW uses functional and analytical cookies. A cookie is a small text file that is stored in the browser of your computer, tablet or smartphone when you first visit this website. Het Geheugenpaleis VZW uses cookies with a purely technical function, which ensure that the website works properly and that, for example, your preferred settings are remembered.
An overview of our strictly necessary cookies, which are required for our website to function correctly:
wp-wpml_current_language
> Domain: .memorypalace.be
> Lifespan: 1 day
> Reason: This cookie stores the language code (e.g. ‘nl’ or ‘en’) of the current visitor. This enables the website to remember which language the pages should be displayed in when the visitor clicks through to another page. It also ensures that dynamic features (such as AJAX filters or forms) load in the correct language, even if your website uses page caching.
An overview of our analytical cookies, which are used to measure the use of our website anonymously:
VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE
> Domain: .youtube.com
> Lifespan: 180 days
> Reason: YouTube uses this cookie to estimate the visitor’s internet bandwidth. Based on this, the video player determines whether the video should be played in HD, 4K or a lower resolution. In addition, Google uses the unique ID in this cookie to remember the user’s viewing history and interests. This is used to display personalised video recommendations and targeted adverts on YouTube and other Google platforms.
YSC (YouTube Session Cookie)
> Domain: .youtube.com
> Lifetime: Session (this cookie is automatically deleted as soon as the visitor closes the tab or browser).
> Reason: This cookie tracks unique statistics on video views during the current website visit. It records which parts of the embedded video have been viewed and how often the play/pause button has been clicked. This ensures that interaction with the video player runs smoothly and that YouTube can detect fraud (such as the artificial inflation of views by bots).
GPS
> Domain: .youtube.com
> Lifespan: 30 minutes
> Reason: The abbreviation stands for Global Positioning System. When a website visitor opens the page via a mobile browser (such as Safari on an iPhone or Chrome on Android), this cookie records a unique ID. YouTube uses this to attempt to determine the mobile user’s geographical location. Google uses this location data to provide locally relevant adverts and recommendations.
When you first visited our website, we already informed you about these cookies and asked for your consent to place them.
