Infrabel wishes to make your experience of the website and apps as informative and relevant as possible. To achieve this, we use cookies, with the intention both of protecting your privacy and providing you with a user-friendly online environment. If you would like to know more about how we use cookies, please read our Cookie Policy.

Social media

We may process Personal Data obtained from social media platforms (including Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram and/or Twitter) if something is Infrabel-related or addressed to Infrabel in order to (i) provide an initial response to questions or complaints, (ii) monitor our online reputation, (iii) integrate testimonials about Infrabel and our services which you publish into our internal and external communications and (iv) improve our services and identify opportunities on which Infrabel can focus.

Some of our web pages on these social media allow users to post their own material. Please remember that all material posted on our social media is accessible for – and therefore can be seen by – the public. You should therefore exercise caution with regard to disclosing certain personal information such as financial or address details through these platforms. We are not responsible for any action taken by third parties if you post personal information on any of our pages on these social media, for example Facebook or Instagram. We also refer to the privacy policies and cookie policies of the platforms you use.

In addition, our website may also contain integrated elements from third parties (plug-ins). These include videos stored and published by another party, but whose link we share, and which are distributed on, in or through our website. In addition, content from our website may be shared on social media via buttons ("share" and "like").

If you use these functions via these integrated elements, the actions taken on our website will be passed on to the company operating the relevant social media. The use of these integrated elements and the data collected during your browsing are exclusively subject to the general terms and conditions and the privacy policies of the social media concerned. It is therefore important that, if you decide to make use of this function, you first consult the privacy policies of these parties on their own websites in order to know exactly what data is processed and how it is subsequently used.  We do not receive personal data from these third parties, but we do receive anonymous statistical information, which enables us to improve our own services.

The list below describes the categories of data we process for these purposes, where your data comes from, the legal basis for this processing activity and with whom we may share the data.

Categories of data processed: Any Personal Data relevant to the purposes described above that you decide to share with us or that you publish on social media; anonymised statistics

Legal basis for processing: It is in Infrabel's legitimate interest as a company to process the Personal Data which you have chosen to communicate to us or which you have made publicly available via social media platforms, in order to improve our services, identify business opportunities and reinforce our internal and external communication, on the understanding that we always ensure in this regard that your interests are also safeguarded.
