You may provide or withdraw your consent by using our consent mechanism tool available in our cookie banner and/or by clicking here on “manage your consent”.

The period for which a cookie will remain on your device will depend on the period of validity of the cookie in question as described in the table below.

You have certain rights regarding the information we hold about you.

You have the following rights: to be informed, to access, to rectify, to object, to data portability, to erase (the “right to be forgotten”), to restrict processing, and to withdraw your consent (for the latter right, see Section 4.2 above).

As regards the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling and, where appropriate, useful information concerning the underlying logic, as well as the importance and the expected consequences of this processing for you, Maison Delvaux confirms that there is no automated decision-making based on the personal data collected.

All these rights are also detailed in Section 9, “Your Rights”, of our Privacy Policy. We will try to comply with your request as soon as practically possible and always within the deadlines provided by the GDPR.

If you have questions about your rights, or complaints about the way in which Maison Delvaux processes your personal data, please send them to us first using the information in Section 8, "Contact details”, of this Policy.
