5. Rights of data subjects

5.1 Statement of Rights

In accordance with the Applicable Regulations, Data Subjects have the following rights regarding their personal data:

  • The right to request confirmation that data concerning them is being processed, to obtain information about the characteristics of these Processing, to access this data, and request a copy (right of access and copy);
  • The right to have any data concerning them that is inaccurate or outdated corrected or completed (right of rectification);
  • The right to withdraw their consent at any time, provided that the Processing concerned is exclusively based on this legal basis (right to withdraw consent);
  • The right to object to the Processing of their personal data for reasons related to their particular situation and to obtain erasure, in which case we will comply with this request unless the Processing is justified by compelling legitimate grounds (right to object for legitimate reasons and right to erasure);
  • The right to obtain temporary limitation of Processing in the event of a request for rectification or objection for legitimate reasons, during the time we analyze the request, which in practice means that personal data will be retained but not processed (right to restriction);
  • The right to data portability, which means the right to receive, in a commonly used format, the personal data they have provided to us when the Processing is automated and based on consent or the performance of a contract;
  • The right to establish directives regarding the Processing of their data after their death and to request us to keep, erase, or communicate their data to a specifically designated third party, with the understanding that once we become aware of a Data Subject’s death and in the absence of instructions from them, we undertake to delete their personal data unless its retention is necessary for evidentiary purposes or to comply with a legal obligation (post-mortem right).

5.2 Exercise of Rights

When a Data Subject wishes to exercise any of the aforementioned rights, they can contact us via the contact form on the contact page. The request from the Data Subject must come exclusively from them (unless a duly authorized third party) and be as clear and comprehensive as possible to allow us to respond within the timeframes, ranging from one to three months, depending on the complexity of the request. We may request the Data Subject to clarify their request if it is not sufficiently precise, if the right they wish to exercise is not easily identifiable, or if they cannot establish their identity. In such cases, we may ask for additional information, including proof of identity, which will be deleted as soon as their identity is verified. Furthermore, we are not obligated to respond to a Data Subject’s request if it is manifestly unfounded or excessive, particularly if they make repetitive or excessively complex requests that would disrupt our activities.

6. Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to preserve the confidentiality and security of the personal data we process and to prevent their destruction, loss, alteration, or unauthorized disclosure. For example, the following measures have been implemented and are documented in a security assurance plan:

  • Hosting of personal data on servers located within the European Union in a member country;
  • Training of our staff who handle Data Subjects’ data;
  • User authentication mechanisms with personal and secure access through strong, confidential, and regularly updated identifiers and passwords;
  • Authorization management procedures (definition and review of authorization profiles based on the user profiles of the information system, deletion of obsolete access);
  • Access tracking mechanisms, login logging, incident management, and, where applicable, encryption of certain personal data;
  • Regular implementation of internal audits and, where applicable, differentiated penetration tests to control and assess the effectiveness of the security measures in place;
  • Physical security of premises (access codes, keys, and badges) and workstations (automatic session locking, antivirus, and firewalls). When we use Processors, i.e., service providers to whom we have delegated all or part of a Processing and who process the personal data of Data Subjects in accordance with our instructions, we undertake to require security guarantees equivalent to those we implement to protect their personal data and reserve the right to conduct an audit of them to ensure compliance with their obligations. In the event of a Data Breach, we undertake to notify the French Data Protection Authority (CNIL) in accordance with the Applicable Regulations and, if the Data Breach poses a high risk to Data Subjects, to inform and provide them with the necessary information and recommendations.

7. Updating of this policy

We may modify, supplement, or update this policy at any time to take into account legal, regulatory, and/or jurisprudential developments, changes in the characteristics of Processing, or the implementation of new Processing.
