Cookie Types

We differentiate 4 types of cookies

• Necessary cookies
  Necessary cookies help make our website usable by enabling basic functions like page navigation and access to secure areas of the website. While you can decline them, The website cannot function properly without these cookies.
• Preferences cookies
  Preference cookies enable our website to remember information that changes the way the website behaves or looks, like your preferred language or the region that you are in. They may include cookies from 3rd party providers whose content we show or reference on our site. Those cookies are outside of our control and these providers may change their terms and policies at any time.
• Statistics cookies
  Statistic cookies help our company to understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting statistical information pseudonymously. That means that eg. your IP address is scrambled in such a way that it will always be the same upon each subsequent visit to our site, so that Google can process the visit as a return visit. This helps with basic statistics, but also is a factor in how well we rank in future searches. Many returning visitors means that you like our site and that is a ranking element.
  Due to the ECJ striking down the  EU-US Privacy Shield agreement, this leaves us with a open gap. The resulting implications and actions to take are not yet clear. However, when agreeing to statistics cookies, you agree that your data may be processed in the United States under less strict privacy laws and that your data will be exposed to all associated risks. Such risks include the US government being able to investigate you, simply for being a non-US citizen due to provision 702 of the FISA act, which they are able to do anyway, with or without the cookie. Also, the laws in the United States are less strict with regards to selling information to third parties.
• Marketing cookies
  Marketing cookies are used to track you across websites. The intention is to display ads that are relevant and engaging for you and thereby more valuable for publishers and third party advertisers. At this point we do not allow ads to display on our site, so no third-party trackers are defined on our site. We may add a 1st party (us) tracker to our site at any time.

Managing cookies

You are not required to accept any cookies . Our cookies toolbar allows you to fine tune which cookies you accespt or want to revoke consent for. The resulting experience may however be affected by your decision not to accept cookies.

Eg. not accepting or revoking consent for the “Necessary” category cookies will result in your inability to log into the site, even if you have previously accepted the cookies and paid for service.

Not accepting or revoking consent for “Preference” category cookies may impede on your ability to watch instructional videos on our site, even if you have previously accepted the cookies and paid for service.

Not accepting or revoking consent for ‘Statistical” category cookies will result in us not seeing where visitors stay longer or shorter on our site. While the immediate experience will not degrade for you, it may impede us in better understanding where we need to improve our service, thereby denying you a potentially improved experience in the future.

Not accepting or revoking consent for “Marketing” category cookies may result in you seeing irrelevant ads, if we make the decision to allow carefully selected partners to offer their services through our site.

Removing cookies from your device

You can delete all cookies that are already on your device by clearing the browsing history of your browser. This will remove all cookies from all websites you have visited.

Be aware though that you may also lose some saved information (e.g. saved login details, site preferences).

Managing site-specific cookies

For more detailed control over site-specific cookies, check the privacy and cookie settings in your preferred browser

Blocking cookies

You can set most modern browsers to prevent any cookies being placed on your device, but you may then have to manually adjust some preferences every time you visit a site/page. And some services and functionalities may not work properly at all (e.g. profile logging-in).

Gert Taeymans BV processes personal information in compliance with this privacy statement. For further information, questions or comments on our privacy policy, please contact Gert Taeymans at https://gerttaeymans.consulting/gdpr-contact.

Purposes of the processing

Gert Taeymans BV collects and processes customers’ personal data for customer and order management (customer administration, order / delivery follow-up, invoicing, solvency follow-up, profiling and the sending of marketing and personalised advertising).

Legal foundation for the processing

Personal data is processed based on several provisions of Article 6.1.

(a)  consent, which you can revoke at any time,

(b) required for the implementation of an agreement between you and Gert Taeymans BV, eg. when you enter into a contract with us,

(c)  required to satisfy a legal obligation

(f)  (required for the protection of our legitimate interest in entrepreneurship)] of the General Data Protection Regulation. An actual data item may be subject to multiple provisions.

[Insofar as the processing of personal data takes place based on Article 6.1. a) (consent), customers always have the right to withdraw the given consent.]

Transfer to third parties

If required to achieve the set purposes, your personal data will be shared with other companies within the European Economic Area, which are linked directly or indirectly with Gert Taeymans BV or with any other partner of Gert Taeymans BV

Gert Taeymans BV guarantees that these recipients will take the necessary technical and organisational measures for the protection of personal data.

Third party categories that are subject to this provision are:

    Accounting
    Hosting
    Software Engineering (when you order websites or custom development with us)
    Social Media (only as part of Social Media Marketing contracted services by you)

Due to the ECJ striking down the  EU-US Privacy Shield agreement, this leaves us with a open gap. The resulting implications and actions to take are not yet clear. You must be aware that one can argue that any data transfer from the EU towards the US is now in breach of the law. Other argue that necessary transfers are still allowed, whithout however defining, as far as we know, what "necessary" actually means. Gert taeymans BV is investigating what this exactly means fo you, our user, and us as a company. This website runs on servers within the EU. We also closely follow the opinions by the scholars and our regulator.

Retention period

Personal data processed for customer management will be stored for the time necessary to satisfy legal requirements (in terms of bookkeeping, among others).

Right to inspection, improvement, deletion, limitation, objection and transferability of personal data

You have at all times the right to inspect your personal data and can have it improved should it be incorrect or incomplete, have it removed, limit its processing an object to the processing of their personal data based on Article 6.1 (f), including profiling based on said provisions. Any personal data however that is needed for the legal processing of your order cannot be removed after you placed an order, as we need to keep it for legal purposes.

Furthermore, you are entitled to obtain a copy of your personal data and to have said personal data forwarded to another company.

In order to exercise the aforementioned rights, you are requested to send an e-mail the following address: dataprivacy@gerttaeymans.com.

Direct marketing

You are entitled to object free of charge to the processing of any processing of their personal data aimed at direct marketing.

Complaint

You have the right to file a complaint with the Belgian Privacy Protection Commission (35 Rue de la Presse, 1000 Brussels - contact@adp-gba.be - 02/ 274 48 00 or 02/ 274 48 35).

You must have something to manage before you can handle it, which means you need to measure what you want to manage.

• Learn ways to measure IT performance objectively. Create reports that show off your successes.
• Just asking for increases is not a good strategy. Use data to show that the demand for your services is increasing.
• Support your budget story with a clear understanding of the business needs and a fitting IT roadmap.
• Manage your key stakeholders to improve business satisfaction with IT services.

GDPR, Are You really ready?

But these fines, that is when you have material breaches...

They will never come after me. I'm too small.

And besides, I have my privacy policy and cookie notice in place

Frameworks are a collection of best practices. Sometimes regulation dictates what processes you need to address, or that you have to implement them.

• Implementing anything is not a cookie-cutter affair. Of course, the regulations are what they are, but how you implement them is a company-specific matter.
• Even in highly-regulated industries, where implementation is mandatory, tone of voice matters!
• At Gert Taeymans BV, we leverage the culture of your company to achieve success. As consultants, yes, we are separate from you, but we aim to blend in and become part of your organization's fabric.
• We understand very clearly that we are there to support you and guide you. The implementation will only work through your company's culture.
• When we bring something new, instead of improving a process, we will act as a culture-add to your company. We always consider what is already there and your way of working and adapting the frameworks to fit within your organisation.

Do like your top peers. Leverage best-practices before learning them the hard way.

• We provide you with the best practices and tools to get your projects or features done faster and cheaper.
• Use Info-tech's contract and review program to save tens of thousands yearly.
• Make better purchasing decisions through data-driven software reviews.
• Achieve delivery success through our comprehensive PPM and Projects and technology coverage.

5. Non-Disclosure of Confidential Information

In these Terms of Use, "Confidential Information" means information of a commercially sensitive or proprietary character that is marked as confidential or that a reasonable person would understand to be confidential. The "Disclosing Party" is the party disclosing Confidential Information, and the "Receiving Party" is the party receiving Confidential Information. However, Confidential Information does not include information that:

The contractual term of membership is generally one (1) to three (3) years in length and is agreed to by the parties in writing. Workshops purchased as part of membership expire without refund or credit at the end of the membership period covered by the purchase. Workshops purchased outside membership expire without refund or credit one (1) year after purchase. TY may terminate a User's access at any time if the User or the entity paying for the User's access violates the terms of use or subscription or any other agreement with TY.

8. Changes

TY strives to innovate. TY may update, upgrade or otherwise change or discontinue content, features, or other aspects of its Services. TY will not make changes that cumulatively degrade the quality of a paid subscription to the Services. TY also reserves the right to change the terms and conditions applicable to your use of the Services unless TY has otherwise agreed in a service agreement. Use of the Services after such changes shall be deemed to be acceptance by the User of such changes. These terms were last revised on June 8, 2022.

TY does not provide legal, accounting, or other professional advice, nor should any advice from TY be construed as such. We encourage you to seek professional advice whenever necessary.

TY expressly excludes and disclaims all express or implied conditions, representations, and warranties, including, without limitation, any implied warranties or conditions of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, to the extent allowable by law.

Although TY takes reasonable steps to screen Services for infection by viruses, worms, Trojan horses, or other code manifesting contaminating or destructive properties before making the Services available, TY cannot guarantee that any Service will be free of infection.

User assumes sole responsibility for the selection of the Services to achieve its intended results. The opinions expressed in the Services are subject to change without notice.

TY does not endorse third-party products or services. TY assesses and analyzes the effectiveness and appropriateness of information technology in the context of a general business environment only unless specifically hired by a User to assess in the context of their own environment.

10. Limitation of Liability

In no event is TY liable for any special, indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive, or other damages however caused, whether in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, operation of law, or otherwise (including without limitation damages for lost profits, business interruption or loss arising out of the use of or inability to use the Services, or any information provided in the Services, or claims attributable to errors, omissions or other inaccuracies in the Service or interpretations thereof), even if TY has been advised of the possibility of such damages. TY's total liability shall in no event exceed the amount paid by the User for the Service in question.

The User acknowledges that TY has set its prices and sold the Services to it in reliance on the limitations of liability and disclaimers of warranties and damages set forth herein and that the same form a fundamental and essential basis of the bargain between the parties. They shall apply even if the contract between the User and TY is found to have failed in its fundamental or essential purpose or has been fundamentally breached.

Frequently asked questions

• Does this work for less than 25 employees?

  Resilience is not size-dependent. That said, if you are supplying critical services to financial services firms, you may not have a choice. In that case, be prepared to up your game. Call TY in this case. We can help you fulfill third-party requirements, such as the DORA regulation.

  In other cases, if you plan to grow your company beyond 25 employees, then yes. Start with the basics through. Make sure you have a good understanding of your current challenges. 

  If you are just starting out and want to ensure that your company's processes are correct right out of the gate, it's better to give me a call so that we can start you off in the right direction without spending too much.

• I'm a small business owner, can I do all this by myself?

  See also the above question about company size and target clients. If you have fewer than 25 employees and you are not supplying critical services to financial institutions, then maybe some of our guides are not for you. We can still help you organize your resilience, but it may be more cost-effective to use only our TY Advisor services.

  Once you grow beyond 25 employees, you will benefit from our processes. Just implement what you need. How do you know what you need? You probably already have an inkling of what is lacking in your organization. If you are unsure, please get in touch with us.

  In short, the answer is yes, and TY can help you. Once you know what you are looking for, that guide will allow you to handle it yourself. If you need help selecting the right guide, please get in touch with us.
