- improving the Website and the User’s browsing experience through connection and usage statistics;
- conducting optional customer satisfaction surveys using the User’s email address;
- carrying out marketing communications by email and/or SMS using the User’s telephone number and email address.
The Website does not sell Users’ personal data.
Such data are processed solely where necessary for the provision of services or for statistical and analytical purposes.
7.3 Right of Access, Rectification, Erasure and Objection
In accordance with the applicable European data protection legislation, Users of the Website benefit from the following rights:
the right of access (Article 15 GDPR) and the right to rectification (Article 16 GDPR), including the right to update and complete their personal data;
the right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”) or restriction of processing of personal data (Article 17 GDPR), where such data are inaccurate, incomplete, ambiguous, outdated, unlawfully collected, unlawfully processed, unlawfully disclosed, or unlawfully retained;

Users wishing to know how the company uses their personal data, request correction or deletion of their personal data, or object to its processing may contact the company in writing at:

7.4 Non-disclosure of Personal Data
The company undertakes not to process, host, or transfer personal data collected from its customers to any country outside the European Union, or to any country that has not been recognised by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of protection, without first informing the Customer.
Nevertheless, the company remains free to choose its technical and commercial service providers, provided that they offer sufficient guarantees of compliance with the requirements of the GDPR.

The company does not collect or process any special categories of personal data (sensitive personal data).
Users’ personal data may be processed by the company’s subsidiaries and authorised service providers (data processors) solely for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
Within the limits of their respective responsibilities and only for the purposes set out above, the persons most likely to have access to Users’ personal data are members of the company’s customer service team.
8 – Security Incident Notification
Although every reasonable effort is made to protect personal data, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure.
Accordingly, the company cannot guarantee absolute security.
Should the company become aware of a security breach affecting Users’ personal data, it will notify the affected Users as soon as reasonably practicable so that they may take any appropriate protective measures.
The company’s incident notification procedures comply with its legal obligations under both French and European legislation.
The company undertakes to keep its customers fully informed regarding any issue affecting the security of their accounts and to provide all information necessary to enable them to comply with their own regulatory reporting obligations.
No personal information concerning Users of the Website is published without their knowledge, exchanged, transferred, assigned, or sold to third parties.
The only circumstance in which such information may be transferred is in the event of the acquisition of the company and its rights, in which case the purchaser would in turn be bound by the same obligations regarding the protection, confidentiality, and modification of Users’ personal data.
