Privacy Policy
The European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into force on May 25th, 2018 and has major implications worldwide. European citizens now have multiple digital rights over their personal details, including the right to be asked to provide consent for the storage of personal details in a database, the right to be asked to provide consent to be contacted, the right to see the personal information stored, the right to be forgotten including having all personal details permanently removed from a database, the right to know with whom this information is shared with (the user must have consented to share this information) and the right to be contacted should a significant data breach occur. All these changes must be prospectively acknowledged by the user and cannot be presumed to have occurred. The proof rests with the websites to be able to demonstrate consent has been obtained previously.
What information do we collect about you?
When accessing our website https://www.ageb.be either individually or through a third party, a hospital authority, a colleague or other, we do not collect your personal information as the site is an open-access journal website (see our Open-access policy), which means that all content is freely available, without having to create a personal account and without charge to the user or his/her institution.
Therefore, as no personal data or email addresses are collected by visiting this site, you will never receive any email from the website ageb.be directly either. Should this happen anyway, which is totally outside of our will, desire or control, please contact AGEB’s Editorial Office (actagastroenterologica@gmail.com).
