3. Registration and Identification

Any client wishing to use ActaMaps, must register by creating a personal user account linked to a company account. The client bears full responsibility for the contents and accuracy of this data sent by him to ActaMaps, and is also responsible for ensuring that this data does not infringe any rights of third parties.


4. Purposes of Processing Your Personal Data

SDP NV only uses the data collected for the purposes for which it was obtained. The information is necessary, to allow SDP NV to respect its obligations.


SDP NV processes your personal data, because you use the services of ActaMaps and/or, because you yourself have provided this information.


If you use the services of ActaMaps as a client, the following personal data is processed:


  • first name and surname
  • address details
  • telephone number
  • Email address
  • IP address
  • Other personal/company data which you yourself have actively provided; for instance, by creating a profile using the ActaMaps service.


The above data will be used for one of the purposes shown below:


  • To be able to identify oneself and use a secure log-in.
  • To be able to use the ActaMaps website/web application and the general service.
  • To be able to perform an ActaMaps search, and inform you of its progress.
  • To store account and business-specific settings to personalise the ActaMaps service.
  • To be able to provide a history of previous ActaMaps searches linked to the company account.
  • To be able to provide a history of previous purchases of ActaMaps credits linked to the company account.
  • To process your online purchases of credits.
  • To improve the ActaMaps website/web application and the general service.

5. Manner of Storing Your Data

Your data is stored in the form of an electronic file.


SDP N.V. stores personal data no longer than strictly necessary for achieving the aim of collection.


6. Access of Third Parties to your Personal Data

SDP N.V. does not sell personal data to third parties. Your personal data may be shared with related companies of the SDP N.V. group, if this is necessary in the context of our services, and for achieving predetermined aims. SDP N.V. guarantees that these recipients will take the necessary technical and organisational measures for protection of the personal data.


SDP N.V. only provides personal data to processors recruited in order to implement the agreement. Thus, for example, we use a third party (Mollie) to process online purchases of credits.


Furthermore, we will never divulge to other parties the data provided by you, unless this is required by law.


7. What are your rights?

  • You have the right to give or withdraw your consent for the processing and exchange of your data. If you consent to providing your data today, you can always withdraw this consent later. In such case, SDP NV will explain to you how your data is erased. However, it is possible that not all data (must/can) be erased, in particular data which (can be/) is used, for instance, in order to take legal action.
  • You have the right to be informed of the purposes for which your data is processed, and who has access to your data. If you exercise this right, the person in charge within SDP NV will tell you who is involved in processing/handling your dossier, and who has access to your dossier.
  • You have the right to ask which of your information was registered, and – if necessary, if certain information is incorrect – to adapt that information.
  • You have the right to receive (certain) information processed and stored concerning you, in a portable, machine-readable format, and to have the personal data sent to a different company.

  • send an email to: gdpr@sdp.be


8. Exceptions

Your right to be informed does not apply if you already hold this information (or can be reasonably expected to hold it), or if providing that information proves impossible or would require disproportionate effort, in particular, in the event of processing for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes.


Your right to adapt and/or erase your data does not apply if a legal obligation makes it compulsory to store this data, or if the data is necessary for exercising the right to freedom of expression.
