Data sharing with partners (quotation requests)
For quotation requests, your data is shared only with a strictly defined group of affiliated companies so you can receive relevant offers. A maximum of five affiliated companies may obtain your personal contact details (name, email address, phone number, and full address). These partners are contractually bound to use your data solely to prepare and discuss quotations.
Confidentiality obligations
Cheqie.be ensures that employees who process personal data are bound by a confidentiality obligation that continues after termination of employment or contracts.
Requests from supervisory authorities
If cheqie.be (as Processor) receives a request or order from a Belgian or foreign supervisory authority to provide (access to) personal data, cheqie.be will promptly inform the Controller/user unless legally prohibited. Cheqie.be will consider reasonable requests from the user and provide necessary cooperation.
Other disclosures
Cheqie.be may disclose personal data:
where required by law or in the context of (future) legal proceedings and to safeguard our rights;
in case cheqie.be or substantially all of its assets are acquired (personal data held by cheqie.be may be part of the transferred assets);
to external processors (e.g., email service providers) under strict contractual obligations. Such processors may not use your data for their own purposes and must delete it once the assignment is completed.
Data retention
Cheqie.be retains personal data no longer than necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, taking into account legal retention obligations and potential disputes.
Upon contract termination: after processing services end and agreements terminate, and depending on the user’s choice, all personal data will be deleted or returned to the user and existing copies deleted, unless EU or Belgian law requires further storage.

Security
