Environmental

We encourage our employees to respect the environment and to consider the impact of their email usage on the environment. We ask them not to print emails and attachments unnecessarily and to use digital communication where possible instead of paper documents. We also recommend sending emails only to relevant recipients and avoiding unnecessary emails in order to reduce energy consumption and the ecological footprint.

Virus or Security

Democo Group and the affiliates have taken all reasonable measures to secure email transmissions and prevent viruses. Computer viruses can be transmitted via email. The recipient should check their email and any attachments for the presence of viruses. Democo Group and its affiliates accept no liability for any damage caused by any virus transmitted by emails sent from our company addresses. Email transmission cannot be guaranteed to be secure or error-free, as information could be intercepted, corrupted, lost, destroyed, arrive late or incomplete, or contain viruses. The sender, therefore, does not accept liability for any errors or omissions in the contents of this message which arise as a result of email transmission.

Privacy

Any personal information in emails sent from our company addresses must and shall be handled in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the privacy policy and notice. We process personal data in accordance with our Data Protection Notice which can be found on our website. For more information, please contact gdpr@democo.be

Non-binding

Emails sent from our company addresses are for discussion purposes only and cannot be used to create a binding contract. Any e-mail from a company, member of Democo Group, that entails a commitment will under no circumstances be able to have any binding effect, in disadvantage of any company, member of Democo Group, if the commitment was not explicitly confirmed by means of a letter signed by a duly authorized person empowered to represent and bind the company concerned.

Right to Disconnect

Our employees have the right to a healthy balance between work and personal life. Therefore, it is not mandatory to respond to emails outside of regular working hours. We encourage our employees to turn off their emails or use automatic out-of-office notifications during vacation periods or other absences. We also ask our employees to be respectful of each other's personal time and not to expect immediate responses to emails outside of working hours.
