2.1 Comments on Articles

Visitors may choose to leave comments on news articles published on BCNLBE & BCGlobal Blog & News.

This information is used for comment moderation, spam prevention, website security, and community management purposes.

Comments are reviewed by our moderators before publication. Approved comments may be displayed publicly on the website together with the name provided by the commenter. Email addresses are never displayed publicly and are not shared with third parties, except where required by law.

2.2 Special Categories of Personal Data and Minors

This Blog & News Fanpage is not intended to collect personal data from visitors under the age of 16, unless they have obtained permission from a parent or legal guardian.

However, we are unable to verify the age of our visitors. We therefore encourage parents and guardians to be actively involved in the online activities of their children. This helps prevent personal data from being collected without parental or guardian consent.

If you believe that we have collected personal data from a minor without the required consent, please contact us at info@body-combat.nl. We will investigate the matter and, where appropriate, remove the information as soon as reasonably possible.

3. Purpose and Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data

We process personal data on the basis of our legitimate interests (such as website management and visitor analytics) or your explicit consent (such as the use of non-essential cookies and the submission of forms through our website).

We process personal data for the following purposes:

• To handle and respond to inquiries: This includes processing and managing feedback, questions, suggestions, event submissions, and other communications submitted through our forms and contact channels.
• To analyze website usage: We use privacy-friendly, anonymous website analytics to better understand how visitors use our website and to improve the user experience. We use Koko Analytics, a privacy-focused analytics solution that does not rely on invasive tracking technologies.
• To display embedded media and content: Certain website features, including embedded Les Mills video trailers, technique education videos, and other related content, require limited technical processing to ensure that media is displayed correctly and functions as intended.

We only process personal data to the extent necessary to achieve these purposes and always strive to protect the privacy of our visitors.

4. Data Retention Period

We do not retain your personal data for longer than is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected.

• Form Submissions: Information submitted through Contact Form 7 and stored in our database via Contact Form Entries, as well as submissions made through the Compliments & Suggestions Form feature, Blog & News Feedback Form, and the Contact Form on our Contact Page, will be retained for a maximum period of one (1) year after the matter has been processed. This retention period is necessary for administrative purposes, follow-up communication, and quality assurance.
• Cookie Data: Information collected through cookies is stored for specific periods depending on the type and purpose of the cookie. Cookie lifetimes may range from the duration of your browsing session up to a maximum of two (2) years, including certain cookies used by Bynder/CloudFront through the Les Mills Marketing Studio.
• Article Comments: Comments submitted on news articles may be retained for as long as the related article remains published on the website, unless the commenter requests removal or applicable legal obligations require otherwise.

Once the applicable retention period has expired, personal data will be securely deleted, anonymized, or otherwise disposed of in accordance with applicable data protection requirements.
