We use the term ‘privacy breach’ to describe a situation in which personal data is accidentally or unlawfully deleted, lost, changed or shared.
Report a privacy breach
If you suspect something of this nature has happened to your data, you can report it.
You can also report a privacy breach at a Telenet Shop (Dutch) or via the Customer Service (Dutch).
First and foremost, we do everything we can to protect your data. To this end, we follow international standards and guidelines. With every new development or procedure, protection of your data is a top priority.
Our employees, partners and suppliers must all adhere to strict security protocols. Our employees also regularly take part in various internal training courses, and we screen our suppliers for compliance with our rules.
Section 4 of our privacy policy explains in detail how we protect your data.
You can also take steps to protect your data. Here are some tips:
- Use secure passwords that cannot be easily guessed.
- Do not share your passwords with others.
- Has there been a change to your household, such as a divorce? Unfortunately, such changes are occasionally accompanied by problems. In that case, it is best to reset both your Telenet account and your Wi-Fi. Also be sure to notify us if you move. This ensures that no mail containing your details ends up in the wrong hands.
- Secure your devices and networks.
- Have you noticed that something is wrong? Contact us as soon as possible so we can investigate the problem.
We take every report of a breach seriously. First of all, our specialized privacy team investigates the circumstances. Then they do what needs to be done to resolve the problem as soon as possible.
They also make suggestions for improvement of our processes, procedures and systems. This is how we prevent similar situations from happening again.
If appropriate, we also notify the Belgian Data Protection Authority (DPA) within 72 hours. Finally, we inform all concerned about the steps taken.
Yes, absolutely. In some cases we also have data of people who are not Telenet customers. For example, if you ever took part in a competition. Do you think that these data have been misused? Even then, you can report a privacy breach via the link above.
When someone tries to get hold of your data, we call it phishing. Unfortunately, this is becoming increasingly common. We have a lot more information on this. Read all about phishing and what you should do (Dutch).
