This notice identifies the publisher of ibcsc.be and sets out the legal framework for publishing and operating the website.
Last updated · 18 August 2026
The publisher is the Institut Belge de Cybersécurité Citoyenne, abbreviated IBCSC, a Belgian nonprofit association. Its registered office is Rue André Lafaille 6, box 012, 6031 Monceau-sur-Sambre, Belgium. The official website is https://ibcsc.be.
Editorial responsibility lies with the governing body of the association. Requests concerning a publication, correction or exercise of a right may be sent to info@ibcsc.be or to the registered office.
IBCSC self-hosts the website on private infrastructure that it administers and acts as the person responsible for its technical operation. Detailed information that could compromise system security is not made public, but may be supplied to competent authorities where required by law.
The website presents the Institute’s activities, publishes prevention and referral information, and provides contact, reporting and listing services. Unless expressly stated otherwise, content is informational and educational. It is not individual legal advice, professional consultation, an emergency or police service, or operational incident response.
IBCSC takes reasonable care when preparing content and corrects reported errors. As digital threats, technology and law evolve rapidly, the Institute cannot guarantee that all information remains exhaustive or suitable for a specific situation. Material information should be checked with the relevant authority, professional or provider.
Access may be interrupted for maintenance, updates, a security incident or circumstances beyond the publisher’s control. IBCSC applies reasonable availability and security measures without guaranteeing uninterrupted or error-free operation. Nothing in this notice excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
The website structure, visual identity, original texts, illustrations, logos and resources are protected by applicable intellectual-property law. Unless a specific licence applies, short quotations are permitted within the legal quotation exception when the author, title and source link are clearly stated. Substantial reproduction, adaptation, systematic extraction or commercial exploitation requires prior written permission.
Job offers, profiles, service listings, hardware listings, messages and images are supplied under the author’s responsibility. Publication is not an endorsement, certification or guarantee by IBCSC. Detailed rules on user content, moderation and removal appear in the Terms of use.
The website may link to public services, nonprofits, companies or other third-party sites for convenience. IBCSC does not continuously control their content, availability, security or data practices. Users visit external sites at their own risk and should review their terms and privacy policies.
Errors, potentially illegal content, infringement of rights or vulnerabilities affecting an IBCSC service may be reported to info@ibcsc.be or through the appropriate form. A report should identify the content or system precisely, including its URL, and explain the grounds for the request. The responsible-disclosure policy does not authorise intrusive testing or access without permission.
Personal-data processing is described in the Privacy policy. Use of the strictly necessary session cookie and local preference storage is explained in the Cookie policy. Those documents form part of the website’s legal framework.
The website is operated from Belgium. This notice is governed by Belgian law, subject to any mandatory rules protecting the user. Questions should first be sent to info@ibcsc.be so that an appropriate solution can be sought. Jurisdiction is determined under the applicable legal rules.
IBCSC may amend this notice to reflect legal, organisational or technical changes. The version published on this page is the current version and its update date appears above.
