DATA PROTECTION
Privacy policy
This page explains in simple terms which data may be processed when you use Thierry Maesen’s personal professional website.
Data controller
The controller of any personal data processed in connection with this website is:
Name: Thierry Maesen
Email: contact@thierrymaesen.be
Telephone: +32 498 20 77 30
Nature of the website
This is a personal professional presentation website. It presents Thierry Maesen’s background, skills, projects and possible collaboration opportunities.
The website does not provide user accounts and is not a recruitment platform or an application portal.
Data provided directly
The website currently contains no form that stores personal data directly in a website database.
If you contact Thierry Maesen by email or telephone, the information you choose to provide may be processed in order to answer your request and assess a possible professional opportunity.
This information may include your name, email address, telephone number, organisation, message and information relating to an assignment or employment opportunity.
Purposes of processing
Information provided may be used to:
- answer a contact request;
- discuss an assignment, employment opportunity or collaboration;
- forward relevant information to TeamOne or another agency when this is necessary or appropriate for a professional opportunity;
- follow up on a professional exchange;
- maintain the security and technical operation of the website.
Legal basis
Depending on the circumstances, processing may be based on:
- your request before a possible contract is concluded;
- the preparation or performance of a professional relationship;
- a legal obligation;
- a legitimate interest related to the reasonable management of professional contacts and website security;
- your consent when consent is required.
Technical data and hosting
As with most websites, the hosting server may process certain technical information needed for security, maintenance and delivery of the website.
This information may include an IP address, connection date and time, browser type, operating system, page visited and information about technical errors.
The exact nature, retention period and handling of these logs depend on the configuration of the hosting service.
Cookies and tracking tools
The website currently does not use advertising, newsletters, user accounts or behavioural analytics tools.
No non-essential cookie should be added to the website without prior information and, where required, your consent.
Strictly necessary technical elements used for the operation of the website or hosting service may nevertheless be present.
External links
The website contains links to external services, including GitHub, TeamOne, certificate verification pages and Infomaniak.
When you open an external link, you leave the thierrymaesen.be website. Any processing carried out by those services is governed by their own privacy policies.
Possible recipients
Information provided may be accessible to Thierry Maesen and, when relevant to a professional opportunity, to TeamOne or another agency concerned.
Technical data required for hosting may also be processed by Infomaniak Network SA as part of its hosting services.
Retention period
Data is kept only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was provided, unless a longer period is required by law or justified by a dispute.
The retention period may therefore vary depending on the nature of the exchange, assignment or professional relationship.
Your rights
Subject to the conditions provided by the GDPR, you may request access to your personal data, its correction, deletion or restriction of processing, and you may object to certain processing activities.
Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time for the future.
To exercise a right, please write to:
A reasonable identity check may be required to prevent information from being disclosed to an unauthorised person.
Complaints
If you believe that your rights have not been respected, you may lodge a complaint with the Belgian Data Protection Authority.

This policy may be updated when the operation of the website, the services used or the applicable obligations change.
