Privacy Policy

Who we are

Who is responsible for your data

This website is published by 26lights SPRL, with offices in Brussels and Paris. 26lights is the controller of the personal data collected through it.

For any question about your data, or to exercise your rights, write to info@26lights.com.

What we collect

The data you choose to send us

We only collect what you give us yourself. We do not sell it, and we do not use it for anything other than the purposes below.

Through this website

The contact form: your name, your company, your email address and your message.

The event registration and waitlist forms: your first and last name, your email address, your company and phone number if you give them, the events you are interested in and your message.

Booking a call: Calendly handles the booking and shares with us your name, your email address and the answers you give.

The emails you send us directly.

Why

What we use it for

To answer your request and, if you wish, discuss working together: this is needed to take the steps you ask for before a possible contract, and it is our legitimate interest to answer the people who contact us.

To organize the events you register for and send you the practical information about them: on the basis of your registration.

To measure the audience of the site and run our campaigns on LinkedIn and Meta: only with your consent, given in the cookie banner (see Cookies below).

Who sees it

The people and providers involved

Your messages and registrations reach the 26lights team by email. A few providers help us run the site and only process the data on our behalf.

Some of them are based in the United States. Those transfers rely on the safeguards the GDPR provides, such as the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission.

Our providers

FormSubmit, which delivers the website forms to our mailbox.

Calendly, for booking calls.

Vercel, which hosts the website.

Google (Analytics and Tag Manager), Hotjar, LinkedIn and Meta, only if you accept the corresponding cookies.

How long

How long we keep it

Messages and form submissions are kept for as long as we need them to follow up on your request, and at most three years after our last contact with you.

Audience measurement data is kept for 14 months at most.

Cookies and similar technologies

Nothing beyond what the site needs to work is stored on your device until you choose. Your choice itself is kept in your browser's local storage for six months, so the banner does not come back on every page.

You can accept, refuse or change your choice at any time with the Cookie settings link at the bottom of every page. Refusing changes nothing in how the site works.

Two purposes, each accepted or refused on its own

Audience measurement (Google Analytics, Hotjar): how many people visit, which pages they read, how they found us.

Marketing (LinkedIn, Meta): to measure our campaigns and show our content to people who visited the site.

Your rights

What you can ask us

Under the GDPR you can ask to access, correct or delete your data, to restrict or object to its use, and to receive it in a portable format. Where we rely on your consent, you can withdraw it at any time. Write to info@26lights.com: we answer within one month.

If you think your data is not handled properly, you can also lodge a complaint with the Belgian Data Protection Authority (dataprotectionauthority.be), or with the authority of the country where you live, such as the CNIL in France.

Changes

When this policy changes

We update this policy when the site or our providers change. The date at the top of the page shows the latest version.
