This notice covers personal data processed in connection with visits to this website, contact requests submitted through it, and related pre-contractual business-to-business communications.

• Identity and professional contact data — such as name, role, company or organisation, business email address, telephone number and country.
• Enquiry and correspondence data — the content of your message, your area of interest and any subsequent correspondence.
• Technical and security data — such as IP address, browser and device information, timestamps, referring page and security logs.
• Business-development context — information about the potential assignment, project stage or commercial relationship.
• Voluntarily supplied information — any further information you choose to provide.

Please do not submit confidential technical information, special-category personal data or personal data that is not necessary for your request through the general contact form.

• Responding to enquiries and assessing potential assignments — steps taken at your request prior to entering into a contract (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR) and our legitimate interests in evaluating business opportunities (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).
• Operating, securing and troubleshooting the website — our legitimate interests in a reliable and secure website (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) and, where applicable, compliance with legal obligations (Article 6(1)(c) GDPR).
• Maintaining proportionate business-to-business relationships and relevant follow-up — our legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR), and your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) where consent is legally required.
• Establishing, exercising or defending legal claims and meeting legal duties — compliance with legal obligations (Article 6(1)(c) GDPR) and our legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Personal data may be accessible to:

• authorised Inventus personnel on a need-to-know basis;
• Lovable, as provider of website hosting and website form services;
• Combell, as email provider;
• security and infrastructure providers supporting the reliable and secure operation of the website;
• professional advisers, such as legal or accounting advisers, where necessary.

Processors act on documented instructions and under appropriate contractual confidentiality and security obligations. Personal data is not sold and is not used for third-party advertising.

Where a provider processes personal data outside the European Economic Area, Inventus relies on an applicable lawful transfer mechanism — such as an adequacy decision or the European Commission's standard contractual clauses — together with appropriate additional safeguards where required.

Personal data is kept only for as long as necessary to answer your enquiry, to assess a possible engagement, to comply with legal duties and to preserve evidence for the applicable limitation periods.

If a business relationship begins, contractual, project and accounting retention rules apply to the data concerned. The current website configuration creates no analytics records and no marketing-consent records.

Inventus applies appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, alteration or disclosure. These include encrypted transmission, access control on a need-to-know basis, restricted administrative access, security logging and periodic review of the measures in place.

Subject to the conditions of the GDPR, you have the right to request access to your personal data, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing and data portability, and the right to object to processing.

• Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
• You have the right to object at any time to processing for direct marketing purposes.
• You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to processing based on our legitimate interests.

Requests can be sent to legal@inventusindustries.com. Inventus may ask for information reasonably needed to verify your identity.

This website does not carry out automated decision-making, including profiling, that produces legal effects concerning visitors or similarly significantly affects them.

If you consider that your personal data is not processed in accordance with data-protection law, you may lodge a complaint with the Belgian Data Protection Authority (Gegevensbeschermingsautoriteit / Autorité de protection des données), Drukpersstraat 35, 1000 Brussels, Belgium. We appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns first at legal@inventusindustries.com.

This notice may be updated to reflect changes to the website, to our services or to legal requirements. The date shown at the top of this page indicates when it was last revised.
