What information do we collect?
We collect two types of data and information concerning our Users.
The first type includes unidentified information that does not allow for the identification of one or more Users, and which can be made available to us or collected because of the use of the Site (”Non-personal information”). We do not know the identify of Users whose non-personal information has been collected. The non-personal information which has been collected can include your aggregate user information and technical information transmitted by your device, in particular certain information related to software and hardware (e.g. the type of browser and operating system that your device uses, language settings, access time, etc.) to improve the functionality of our Site. We may also collect information concerning your activity on the Site (e.g. page views, online browsing, clicks, actions, etc.).

Data conservation
We store your personal information for as long as necessary to provide our services, and if necessary, to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our policies. Data conservation periods will be determined according to the type of information collected and why they have been collected, taking into account the requirements appicable to the situation and the need to destroy obsolete and unused information as soon as possible. Under the laws and regulations in force, we will store archives containing personal information of customers, documents required for opening an account, communications and any other information required.
We can rectify, fill in or delete any incomplete or incorrect information, at any time and at our sole discretion.
Cookies
Our trusted partners and ourselves use cookies and other technologies in our related services, including when you visit our Site or access our services.
A “cookie” is a little fragment of information that a website attributes to your device when consulting the site. Cookies are very useful and can be used in different ways, in particular allowing you to navigate efficiently from one page to another, authorising the automatic activation of certain features, memorising your preferences and allowing you to interact with our Services with greater speed and ease. Cookies are also used to ensure that the advertisements you see correspond to your interests and are personalised accordingly, as well as to compile statistical data regarding your use of our Services.
The Site uses the following types of cookies:
- “Session cookies” which are kept only temporarily during your navigation session to allow normal use of the system and are deleted from your device when you close the browser.
- “Persistent cookies” which are read only by the Site, which are saved on your computer for a fixed period and are not erased when the browser is closed. These cookies are used when we have to recognise you during repeated visits, for example, to allow us to remember your preferences for the next time you visit the site.
- “Third party cookies” which are implemented by other online services managing content on the page you are visiting, for example, by third party analysis companies that monitor and analyse our web access.
Cookies do not contain any information which would allow you to be identified personally. However, we can associate personal information concerning you that we store to information stored and obtained by cookies. You can delete cookies by following the instructions in your device preferences. However, be aware that if you choose to deactivate cookies, certain functions of our Site may not work properly and your online experience may be limited.
We also use a tool named “Google Analytics” to collect information regarding your use of the Site. Google Analytics collects information such as the frequency of user access to the Site, the pages visited, etc. We use the information collected by Google Analytics only to improve the Site and its services. Google Analytics collects the IP address assigned to you on the day you are visiting the sites, rather than your name or any identifiable information. We do not combine the information collected by Google Analytics to the information which allows you to be identifed personally. Google’s ability to use and share the information collected by Google Analytics concerning your visits to this Site is limited by the conditions of use and Google’s Privacy Policy.
Information collected by third parties
Our policy only concerns the use and disclosure of information we collect from you. As you disclose your information to different parties or websites on the Internet, different rules may apply regarding the use or disclosure of the information. As such, we encourage you to read the conditions of use and Privacy Policy for each third party to which you are voluntarily disclosing your information.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of the societies of which we are not owners and which we do not control, nor to the individuals that we do not use or manage, namely any third party to which we can disclose your information as indicated by this Privacy Policy.
How do we protect your information?
We pay great attention to the implementation and maintenance of the security of the Site and your information. We use standard sector procedures to guarantee the security of the information we collect and store, and to prevent the unauthorised use of this information. We demand that third parties meet similar security requirements, in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Although we implement reasonable measures to protect information, we cannot be held responsible for acts of people who obtain unauthorised access to or misuse our Site, and we do not offer any formal, implicit or other guarantee to prevent such access.
Data transfer outside of the EEA
Please note that some data recipients may be outside the European Economic Area (EEA). In such cases, we will transfer your data to said countries only in a way as approved by the European Commission by providing the adequate level of data protection, or we will establish legal agreements guaranteeing an adequate level of data protection.
Advertisements
We can use third party advertising technology to disseminate advertisements when you access the Site. This technology uses information relating to your use of the Services to disseminae advertisements intended for you (for example, by placing third party cookies on your web browser).
Marketing
We can use your personal information, in particular your name, address, email, telephone number, etc. ourselves or through subcontractors to provide you with promotional content concerning services, which we believe could be of interest to you.
Out of respect for your right to privacy, we include in this promotional content the means of refusing to receive new promotional offers from us. If you choose to unsubscribe, we will delete your email address or phone number from our marketing distribution lists.
Please note that even if you unsubscribe so that you no longer receive marketing emails from us, we can send you other types of important communications by email without you being able to choose to unsubscribe.

In the cases mentioned above, the beneficiary or the company will assume the rights and obligations as described in this Privacy Policy.
