The person will also be informed of the purpose of the processing, as well as the time frame during which the data will be retained.
When establishing a new policy and setting up new systems for processing personal data, ALTEN Belgium will take ‘privacy by design’ and ‘privacy by default settings’ as starting points.

ALTEN Belgium will safeguard the proper security of the personal data it manages.

Retention period for personal data
ALTEN Belgium will not retain the personal data it processes for longer than necessary for the purpose of the data processing.
