This Privacy & Cookie policy applies to the processing of personal data obtained by Televic and its subdivisions, either via the Confero website, or via other ways such as face to face meetings, exhibitions, marketing campaigns, orders.

2. Who is responsible for the processing of your personal data?

Televic and its divisions are the data controllers. This means that Televic and its divisions determine for what purposes and with what means your personal data will be processed. That also means that these parties are responsible for the processing of your personal data.

3. For which purposes and on which legal grounds do we collect and process your data?

We will use and process your personal data lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner.

  • For commercial (direct marketing, sales…) purposes to communicate about our company, products and services. In that case, we only keep and use the data for which the contact has given his consent. It is also possible that we send direct marketing emails to existing clients to inform that about our products and services, or similar products or services, based on legitimate interest. Alternatively, certain data may be held and used for other reasons of legitimate interest. For example, we maintain the data of the unsubscribes to ensure that we will not contact you any longer.
  • For the recruitment of future employees, internships and/or thesis students. For these processing purposes, Televic relies on the necessity for the execution of a (future) contract and on its legitimate interest.

That information will be stored to respond to your request for information or to perform the described activity;
  • Information you provide to us as part of a job application will be stored and processed by us for that purpose and will be processed with the utmost care;
