Each online service limits data collection to what is strictly necessary (data minimisation).

We are required by law to establish a "legal basis for processing", i.e. to inform you of the basis on which we are authorised to use your data. The legal basis for each purpose is either obtaining your consent for the use of your personal data, the need to use your personal data to execute a contract involving you, a legal obligation or if the use of your personal data is necessary for our legitimate interests (in which case, we will explain to you what those interests are).

Personal data retention period

We are required by law to retain your personal data only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it is collected. The length of time your personal data is retained will be determined by several criteria, including the reasons why we use the data, the amount and sensitivity of the information, the potential risk of fraudulent use or disclosure of the information, and our legal and regulatory obligations.

 

Sharing of personal data

We may disclose your personal data to third parties, in the following cases in particular:

•  We use third parties to carry out activities on our behalf that involve the processing of personal data. For example, we may use service providers to fulfil orders, deliver packages, SMS and emails, analyse data to help us develop, provide and improve our services, and make payments. These third parties have access to the personal data necessary for the performance of their tasks, but may not use this data for any other purpose.
•  We may disclose personal data to third parties if we are required to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with a legal obligation (including in connection with a court order), or to execute or enforce any agreement we have with you or as applicable to you (including agreements between us or with one or more of our subsidiaries), or to protect our rights, property or safety or that of our customers, employees or other third parties.
• We may share anonymous or aggregated data (such as aggregate statistics or other anonymous data) with third parties.

Personal data protection

Your personal data is neither sold nor leased to third parties.
We undertake to keep personal data confidential and not to disclose it in any form whatsoever, except for the purposes of fulfilling orders and the processing purposes described above, in accordance with a legal or regulatory provision, to respond to requests for communications from judicial and/or administrative authorities, to assert our rights or those of our partners and third parties with your prior consent or request.

We use services provided by specialist companies, including our subcontractors; you can obtain the list of these companies by contacting our DPO. When these companies use servers outside the EU, we have taken care to sign personal data protection contracts with them and, in particular, the European Commission's standard clauses to govern the transfer of personal data. This is the case, for example, with Sarbacane software, which we use for marketing operations.

In all cases, we ensure that the persons authorised to process your personal data (staff, partners, subcontractors, etc.) undertake to respect the confidentiality of personal data or are subject to an appropriate legal confidentiality obligation.

Transmission of data via the Internet is not completely secure. This is a common risk on the Internet and is not specific to our services. We are unable to guarantee the security of your data (including your personal information) transmitted to our services. Any transmission is at your own risk.
It is important to protect yourself against unauthorised access to your password and computer hardware. Be sure to log out and close your browser when you have finished your session. This will help prevent third parties from accessing your personal information if you share your computer hardware or use a device in a public space such as a library or Internet café.
