    • installing, modifying, reinforcing, relocating, commissioning and decommissioning, maintaining house connections to the sewerage grid.
  4. To conduct customer satisfaction surveys related to the services provided by Fluvius pursuant to its statutory obligations and public interest duties.
  5. Fluvius processes your personal data with your consent: for the payment of contributions provided by municipalities and provinces in addition to the payment of REG (rational energy use) contributions in the context of which Fluvius exchanges data with these local authorities with your consent, for the use of cookies on our website (for more info see our Cookie Policy) and to receive our newsletters.    
    With your consent, we will make metering data available to third parties to whom you have given authorisation.
  6. Fluvius processes your personal data in execution of an agreement: when applying for a connection to a grid; when executing an agreement with our suppliers, contractors, etc.

  8. Fluvius processes personal data as part of its recruitment policy. If you submit your application for a vacancy at Fluvius through the website jobs.fluvius.be, we will process your data at your request prior to the possible conclusion of an employment contract. With your consent, we will also send you newsletters about career opportunities at Fluvius and will process your data to create a candidate reserve pool.
  9. Fluvius offers Free WiFi on the land of some municipalities where users can use wireless internet free of charge. The utility companies on whose land Free WiFi is offered and for which Fluvius acts qualify as operators within the meaning of the  Wet van 13 juni 2005 betreffende de elektronische communicatie and therefore have a data retention obligation.    
    Specifically, this means that Fluvius is required to retain data generated or processed within the scope of Free WiFi for one year. Fluvius is obliged to make the data available to various judicial, police and other authorities should they request them. In order to ensure the proper functioning of the Free WiFi network, Fluvius will keep aggregated and anonymised data, such as the duration of use of the Free WiFi network and the amount of data used.
  10. Do you still have a question?
    You can contact Fluvius either by visiting a Customer Office, or by contacting us by phone or using the online (chat) contact form. If you wish, you can choose to share your screen with us (co-browsing). This enables us to help you even more quickly. Therefore, to make sharing your screen possible and smooth, the system stores some data. If you agree to this, a pop-up will appear with a 4-digit PIN, which you provide to us. You can end the sharing of your screen at any time using the 'stop sharing' button. However, this will not affect the actions and data processing that preceded stopping the session.
  11. Fluvius processes data as part of its statutory obligations regarding the reporting of unethical conduct. By making a non-anonymous report, you give Fluvius permission to process your personal data for the purpose of handling this report. Fluvius processes the following categories of (personal) data via the 'whistleblower channel': contact details of the person making the report (if not anonymously), content of the report, data of the person involved about whom the report is made, possibly data of witness(es) and some data of a very limited number of Fluvius employees within the Complaints Committee and the Deontological Unit designated to process such reports.

Processing of personal data in the context of smart electricity and gas meters

As mentioned above under 4.B, Fluvius has statutory obligations regarding data management such as, among other things, the reading of energy meters. The processing of your personal data on the basis of these statutory obligations will take place in the context of the rollout of smart meters in Flanders from 1 July 2019.

Fluvius will not use the personal data it obtains in the performance of its data management duties to offer commercial services: this is a statutory prohibition.

You retain control over the personal data sent from the smart meter. Among other things, this means that you determine the third parties to whom we make this data available. With your consent, Fluvius may transfer your personal data from the smart meter to another individual or to energy market parties such as your energy supplier or an energy service provider

Fluvius also make the personal data from the smart meter available to other parties such as authorities, institutions, legal entities that have a legal basis in law or that need this information to fulfil a mission of public interest. Furthermore, Fluvius will make the personal data available to other energy market parties for the performance of their duties, such as energy suppliers, administrator of a group of energy distributors or sellers, balancing agents, shippers, the transmission grid operator or the natural gas transport company. Fluvius has a legal basis in law for this.

Whenever we transfer your personal data from the smart meter to these individuals or institutions, we will only transfer those data that are strictly necessary for them to perform their respective duties. In the context of energy sharing, the parties issuing and accepting the mandate must also consider the data exchanged as personal data, so that the data are treated in accordance with the provisions of applicable legislation, both at national and EU level, on privacy and data protection, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

You can open the S1 and P1 port of your smart meter through the mijn.fluvius.be portal. After opening the ports, you can connect equipment from a third party, such as an energy service provider, to the ports so they can access the personal data from the smart meter (technical, relational and metering data). You choose whom you give access to this information in this way.

Processing of personal data in the context of smart water meters

Within a large-scale project, De Watergroep, FARYS and Pidpa (hereafter referred to as "water companies") are installing smart water meters in their customers' homes. To do this, they are working together with Fluvius, which means they only need to visit your home once. To carry out this task as efficiently and quickly as possible, all parties involved work with a joint schedule, meaning that both energy and water meters are fitted at the same time.

The smart water meter uses the communication module of the smart electricity meter to transmit meter readings. In this way, Fluvius receives the smart water meter data on behalf of the water companies once a day and transmits it to the respective water companies through the existing communication technology.

The processing of your personal data takes place within the framework of the water companies' statutory obligations. This will require full cooperation with Fluvius, including with regard to data communication from the smart water meter and the fitting of these meters.

The water companies remain responsible for processing their customers' data, just as Fluvius is for its customers. This means customers contact their usual customer services and contact points of the respective companies.

To ensure secure exchange of data, Fluvius sends the data in encrypted form.

The requisite processor agreements are in place between Fluvius and its contractors. A protocol was also concluded between the water companies and Fluvius to lay down the necessary data processing agreements.

The functionality and associated mandate to open the user port (P1) on the smart energy meter remains unchanged.

What personal data do we share with third parties?

Fluvius only shares personal data in accordance with this Privacy Policy in order to guarantee the confidentiality and quality of your personal data.  Fluvius will never sell your personal data.

We share your personal data with third parties as necessary as part of our statutory obligations and public interest duties or those of the third parties receiving the data. Fluvius will always verify that these parties are entitled to receive your personal data before transferring it.

If necessary, we share your personal data with:

  • government agencies such as the Flemish Energy and Climate Agency (VEKA), the Flemish Regulator for the Distribution of Electricity and Natural Gas (VREG), Agentschap Informatie Vlaanderen [Flanders information agency], the Crossroads Bank for Social Security (CBSS), with the Federal Public Service Economy (FPS Economy), local administrations, the Flemish Region, with Public Centres for Social Welfare (PCSW) and within this framework with Local Advisory Committees (LAC), with the Ombudsman's Office for Energy, the Flanders Ombudsman Service; with the Federal Public Service Finance in the context of taxation; the Social Inspection Service; judicial authorities, with police services at the local and federal level, the Flanders Housing Inspectorate, the Flanders Environment Agency, drinking water companies, Famifed, etc.
  • private parties such as participants in the energy market (energy suppliers, intermediaries, the service providers of flexibility, etc.), with performers of energy scans, external partners with whom Fluvius cooperates for the organisation of information sessions – such as energy flash sessions on rational energy use, together with Bond Beter Leefmilieu, Dialoog vzw and/or Ecolife vzw –, with debt mediators as part of the procedure for Collective Debt Settlement, parties to whom you have granted authorisation to receive your metering data.

For details of the sharing of your personal data from the smart meter with third parties, please see the information under point 5 – Processing of personal data in the context of the smart meter.

Although processors do not qualify as third parties, we would like to inform you that Fluvius uses processors with whom we exchange personal data, such as contractors, ICT service providers, communication agencies and partners for conducting customer satisfaction surveys. To this end, we use processor agreements to ensure that the processors that process your personal data on our behalf always do so in compliance with privacy legislation and only for the purposes explained in point 4 above. Fluvius will verify that processors will process personal data in a secure, fair, lawful and proportionate manner.

Fluvius uses processors that process personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA). In accordance with the relevant legislation in force, Fluvius has put in place appropriate safeguards for the transmission of personal data. Indeed, Fluvius has entered into agreements with these (sub-)processors in accordance with the standard data protection provisions as stipulated by the European Commission. If you would like a copy of these agreements, please send a request to Fluvius using the contact information below.

If it is necessary for our day-to-day business operations, Fluvius will also share personal data with parties such as law firms and collection agencies, banks, or insurance companies, and always in compliance with privacy legislation.

We will always ask for your prior consent to transfer data to third parties with the exception of transfers that are necessary for the performance of statutory obligations, duties of public interest, to protect your vital interests, if you already have information in connection with the transfer or if the personal data must remain confidential within the scope of professional confidentiality.

What methods are used to protect the privacy of your personal data

Fluvius takes the necessary technical and organisational measures to protect your privacy.

We take various technical measures to protect the personal data we process from unauthorised access or modification, from disclosure and destruction as well as from loss and theft such as: password protection, data encryption, firewalls, antivirus, logging and monitoring of our systems, access management, keeping ICT software up to date, where required; we also anonymise personal data, etc where possible.

Fluvius takes organisational measures to protect your personal data such as appointing a data protection officer; employing staff who ensure the security of our network, infrastructure and information systems; measures to manage physical access to our offices; our employees have access only to those personal data necessary to perform their duties and are trained to perform their duties with respect for your privacy at all times; we implement privacy legislation in our business processes, procedures and work instructions.

These measures are regularly evaluated and fine-tuned by subjecting them to internal and external audits.

How long do we keep your personal data for?

Fluvius ensures that your personal data are kept for no longer than necessary to fulfil the above-mentioned processing purposes.

Below are some examples of retention periods:

  • metering data are retained for twenty years to serve as evidence in case of rectifications or disputes about them;
  • records of data collected as part of our data retention obligation are kept for one year;
  • financial data are retained for seven years due to accounting and tax obligations;
  • documents related to our business such as contracts or correspondence are retained for ten years.
  • data collected as part of our recruitment policy are retained for three years.
  • data collected when sharing your screen (co-browsing session) will not be retained for more than 24 hours after the most recent session. After that, only the visitor ID is retained so that we can keep a history of interactions performed. Therefore, we cannot identify you in the history after we delete the other data.
     

We will handle your personal data in accordance with this Privacy Policy for as long as we keep them.

What rights do you have with regard to the processing of your personal data?

In accordance with privacy legislation, you have certain rights regarding the processing of your personal data. Below is a preliminary overview of these rights.

The situations in which the law makes provisions for permitting databases to be combined.

Processing to achieve the above objectives requires combinations of databases containing technical, relational and metering data. Fluvius may interlink databases in the following situations:

  • for the management of the distribution grid, Fluvius links technical databases (e.g. type of meter, connection power) with relational databases (e.g. contractual capacity, EAN, address) and metering data (e.g. voltage data). To contact customers regarding planned outages or other contingencies, access register data are used that are made available by access holders
  • in the context of meter management, Fluvius links technical databases (e.g. meter type) with relational databases (address) and metering data (e.g. alarms, recorded metering data or missing values).
  • to provide metering data to the energy market, Fluvius combines technical data (e.g. metering registers, ToU) with relational data from the access register and metering data (e.g. billing relevant volumes).
  • in the context of making informative metering data available, technical and relational data are combined to obtain the consent (mandate) of the grid user.
  • in the context of making technical, relational and metering data available to government agencies in Flanders for their applications in support of their tasks;
  • for the purpose of combating energy fraud, Fluvius may interlink and compare personal data from different sources. These include, on the one hand, the technical, relational and metering data available to Fluvius in the performance of its duties as well as data from:
  • 1° the Flanders Energy Agency: the personal data of the persons who, pursuant to the energy performance regulations in force, are obliged to comply with certain formalities and of the persons who own a production plant and, pursuant to the green power and cogeneration certificate regulations in force, are entitled to the corresponding certificates;
  • 2° access holders (energy suppliers): data on the identification of grid users;
  • 3° the National Register: the national register number and, if necessary, the identification data of natural persons;
  • 4° the Crossroads Bank for Social Security: the identification data of natural persons who are not registered in the National Register;
  • 5° the Crossroads Bank for Enterprises: the identification data of companies.
  • in the context of paying inconvenience compensation, metering data are combined with technical data on the connection and relational data entered by the grid user in a customer management system.
  • as a social supplier, Fluvius collects technical, relational and metering data for the purpose of carrying out its statutory duties in this regard such as the fitting of budget meters, the creation of instalment plans and billing.
  • In order to handle complaints, Fluvius will consult data from various databases. In some cases, complaints will lead to rectification of technical, relational or metering data.
  • Fluvius manages a green power database that contains relational metering data, technical data on the connection and metering data entered by grid users.  These data are linked to technical databases and metering databases.
  • relational data and technical data of the plant or building are processed for processing contribution applications for rational energy use. In some cases, Fluvius also needs to consult other databases to verify compliance with the conditions for granting the contribution, such as checking arrears with the National Social Security Office.
  • for the collection of tax in Flanders, Fluvius processes personal data from an authentic data source such as the Crossroads Bank for Social Security and the National Register. Fluvius obtains the following data from the National Register, which it may also use in subsequent periodic links with the National Register: name, address, place of residence and the National Register number.

Data Sharing Agreements

In accordance with applicable privacy laws, Fluvius is required to sign up to a protocol for any electronic communication of personal data to and from another public entity. A protocol is an agreement between agencies that exchange personal data, that contains agreements regarding the exchange of personal data. These agreements include provisions on the purposes, lawfulness and security of personal data. See the overview of our protocols.

You can find more information about protocols on the website of the Flanders Government.
