The end user receives only the final reports and never the anonymous data, which are also destroyed at the end of the analysis.

 

3.4.Are personal data passed on, shared with or sold to third parties?

At Orange Belgium we keep your personal data confidential and share them only with external recipients in the way we have described in this section.

Orange Belgium will not sell the personal data of its customers to commercial partners.

Orange Belgium has outsourced some of the call centre, invoicing services and IT activities. Moreover, Orange Belgium calls upon independent commercial agents authorised by Orange Belgium for customer data management and customer advising.

These partners have access to the personal data in Orange Belgium´s possession, but this access is limited to the scope of application of those outsourced activities and is monitored by Orange Belgium. Some of the call centre and IT activities were outsourced to partners who are established outside of Europe. The personal data are always protected and processed in accordance with the standards defined by Orange Belgium. Orange Belgium has made the necessary agreements with these partners in order to also be able to effectively guarantee that the measures are being complied with.

If the customer gave his consent to publish his telephone number(s) in the telephone directory, then some identification data are shared with the provider of this directory. The customer can have his number deleted from the telephone directory via his customer zone or by calling the customer service department. It can take a certain time before the fulfilment of his request becomes apparent.

Within the context of a (judicial) investigation, Orange Belgium is obliged by law to communicate identification data and consumption data at the request of judicial authorities and security services.

Orange Belgium will not contact the individual customers (end users) who use a B2B tariff plan. Any contact will take place via the customer´s fleet manager and other contact persons (a person involved in the telco contract administration).

Anonymous and aggregated data for mobile and data traffic are used for analysing the traffic on the Orange Belgium network and for optimising the Orange Belgium network and the services.

5. How are my personal data protected?

Orange Belgium has implemented security measures (appropriate technical and organisational measures) that are adapted to the sensitivity level of the personal data as protection against malicious break-in, loss, adaptation or disclosure to third parties who have not received consent for this. These security measures are evaluated at least once a year and adjusted where necessary.

Access to the information systems of Orange Belgium is reserved for persons who require such access for their work.

Orange Belgium teaches its employees to protect the personal data that they get to see for their work and obliges them to comply with the applicable rules and ethical standards of the company.

Orange Belgium performs controls and audits in order to verify that these rules are being correctly followed.

6. How long are the data retained?

Orange Belgium keeps the data of its customers for no longer than necessary in view of the purpose for which they were collected.

If Orange Belgium is unable to do this for technical reasons, we make sure that appropriate measures are taken in order to prevent further use of the relevant personal data.

Hereby account must also be taken of the fact that, under the law, certain data must be preserved for a particular period.

11. What about the Device Manager applications of Orange Belgium?

11.1.General

The Device Manager application is one that is offered by Orange Belgium as part of the Device Manager services which are purchased by a B2B customer. The Device Manager application works together with the Device Manager server that is used by the B2B customer to manage the mobile devices.

The application is installed on the mobile device (smartphone/tablet) of the user (employee of the B2B customer) and the Device Manager service gives the Fleet Manager of the B2B customer the possibility of managing the mobile device. With the Device Manager service the user can also himself perform management actions on the mobile device, via the user portal.

The purpose of this section is therefore to inform the user about the collection of their personal data by Device Manager and the ways they are used by the application.

As part of the Device Manager services Orange Belgium acts as subcontractor. For any other question concerning the use of his personal data and/or request to exercise rights relating to the processing of his personal data, the User will therefore have to directly contact the B2B customer, which acts as controller.

11.2.What personal data does Orange Belgium process and what are they used for?

Your personal data are only used for the use of the Device Manager application. They are not used for commercial canvassing purposes.

The application processes the following data:

  • Identification

When the application is started, you must enter your mobile number. This number is stored in the application in order to identify you to the Device Manager server whenever you are connected with the application.

Device Manager also recognises the operating system and model of your smartphone or tablet and sends this information to the Device Manager server.

 

  • Contacts and Calendar

The application has access to these data, but only in order to delete them, when you or your business manager send the "Delete data" order from the Device Manager portal.

The app does not read the content of your address book and agenda.

 

  • Access to the device

The application can download, install or remove applications on your mobile device by order of the fleet manager.

The application can also erase the data on the memory card, if you or the fleet manager of your company send the "Delete data" order from the Device Manager portal.

 

  • Data stored by the Device Manager server

The Device Manager server can read the following information, so that your organisation can remotely manage your mobile device. It is the fleet manager who defines and manages this list of data.

  • IMEI number of the mobile phone
  • uses data network: name of WiFi network or 4G / H + / 3G / EDGE mobile network
  • list with configured data connections
  • list with installed applications
  • list with configured e-mail accounts
  • roaming status (mobile connected to a network abroad)

This information is stored on the server and can be viewed via the web portal by the fleet manager of your company.

In the case of termination of the Device Manager service on the device, your user account is deleted and the data that are stored on the server are erased.

If the device is managed in Android Enterprise / Managed Professional Space mode, Device Manager can only see the applications that are installed in the professional space.

 

  • Location data

The Device Manager server can request the geographical position of your device when you log in on the user portal of the Device Manager.

The geographical position of the device can also be consulted by the fleet manager of your company from the Device Manager portal, in the following cases:

  • if the device is exclusively for professional use (i.e. managed in Android Enterprise / Fully managed device mode), and only after it is blocked in "Lost Mode";
  • if a "professional profile" is activated on the device (managed in Android Enterprise / Managed Professional Space mode);
  • or if the device is managed in the "without Android Enterprise" mode, and you have allowed the location from the user portal of the Manager Portal.

 

In all of these cases you are informed by e-mail that the device is localised from the Manager Portal.
