2) User Submitted Data
Passive Web Traffic Data
The process of viewing pages on this site represents a two-way communication between a user’s web browser and this site’s web server. When pages are requested your browser will send certain standard information, which is used by our servers to respond to your request. Much of this information is logged as part of the standard web serving practice and may be used to analyze the website’s use, optimize the functionality and debug potential problems. Passive information typically logged by this site includes:
- IP address
- URL of page requested
- Referring URL of page linking to requested page
- Time of page request
- Information about requesting computer including operating system and browser version
- Success status of page request
- Language preference of requesting browser
- Cookies (further details in Cookies section)
Passive Web Traffic Data collected by CEPA is not used to specifically identify individuals and is not shared with 3rd parties. This data will be retained as needed to maintain site functionality or for a maximum of one year.
User Submitted Data
This site contains various forms and pages, which may ask users to submit information including personally identifiable information. Examples of these pages include, but are not limited to contact pages and careers pages.
Personally Identifiable Information collected through these pages will be used solely for the purpose for which it was offered. Information submitted as part of the career seeking process will be retained and shared only with parties within CEPA or outsourced agents working on our behalf or as part of the career and recruitment process.
Personal Information submitted at this site will be processed in Belgium and any submission of personal information on this site represents your consent for such data to be stored and processed in Belgium.
