IMEC enters into processing agreements with third party service providers that process personal data on its behalf.

An EU adequacy decision guarantees a level of protection that is essentially equivalent to the protection offered in the European General Data Protection Regulation.

(a) the processing is required in order to provide you with the information that you have requested;
