NV – collectively referred to here as ‘KBC’ – respect the privacy
of visitors to their website. The ‘capture’ of personal details via
the KBC website and the use KBC makes of this information is governed
by the Belgian Privacy Act of 8 December 1992.
If you are not a customer of KBC and visit its
website, your personal data will only be processed if you yourself
enter personal details in a form on one of the site’s pages. If you
do so, your details will be processed for the purposes indicated there.
You may always object – in writing and at no charge – to the use of
your personal details for direct marketing purposes (in most cases,
this possibility is provided on the page in question).
If you are a customer of KBC, KBC may use your
personal details for administrative and accounting purposes with regard
to all the services we provide you. This may be for managing accounts,
payments, deposits, lending, credit-monitoring, safe-deposit boxes,
custody services, transactions in financial instruments, asset management,
the distribution and management of insurance contracts, as well as
for commercial purposes in the broadest sense, including direct marketing,
and this with a view to the promotion of both banking and insurance
services. For instance, your personal details may be used to confirm
receipt of an e-mail or to send requested information to you at home.
Personal information may also be used for marketing purposes, such
as offering you appropriate products or services. Moreover, as a customer,
you are entitled to object – in writing and at no charge – to the
use of your personal details for direct marketing purposes. The right
of objection may be exercised at any KBC Bank branch (using a pre-printed
