Right of deletion

In accordance with the provisions of articles 38 and following of the law 78-17 of January 6, 1978 relating to data processing, files and freedoms, any user has a right of access, rectification and opposition to personal data concerning him/her, by making a written and signed request, accompanied by a copy of the identity document with the signature of the holder of the document, specifying the address to which the reply should be sent.

Transfer of personal data

No personal information of the user of the site is published without the user’s knowledge, exchanged, transferred, assigned or sold on any medium to third parties.

Only the assumption of the purchase of the site and its rights would allow the transmission of the said information to the eventual purchaser who would in turn be bound by the same obligation of conservation and modification of the data with respect to the user of the site.

Database

The databases are protected by the provisions of the law of 1 July 1998 transposing Directive 96/9 of 11 March 1996 on the legal protection of databases.

The site cannot be held responsible for any fraudulent use of users’ access codes and passwords.

The user undertakes to inform the site of any fraudulent use of access codes and passwords as soon as he/she becomes aware of it.

Use of web beacons and analysis services

The web pages on our site may contain electronic images known as web beacons (also known as web beacons or scripts) that we use to place cookies and count users who visit our site. We also include web beacons in our promotional emails or newsletters to determine whether you open and enjoy them, and so that you can unsubscribe and request that your information be deleted.

Finally, our site contains web beacons or similar technologies from third-party analytics providers, which help us to compile aggregate statistics about the effectiveness of promotional campaigns or other operations.
