PROTECTION OF CHILDREN’S PERSONAL DATA
The BEL Group considers that parents must be informed of the relationship that the company and its brands establish with their children. The BEL Group therefore undertakes to request the e-mail address of the parents/guardians of Internet users under the age of 15 years in order to send them a copy of the registration e-mail sent to their children.
At any time, on simple request, parents/guardians can have access to the registered personal data concerning their child and ask if they wish to be removed from our databases by contacting the consumer service. Likewise, parents/guardians may exercise all the rights that their child has under the applicable regulations on personal data law by contacting the consumer service in the manner provided for in Article 12 of this Policy.
