Privacy Policy
1. Preamble:
The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to inform Users about how their Personal Data are collected on the Site, how they are processed by the Data Controller and finally the rights that Users have with regard to this processing as defined below.
2. Definitions
The following terms, whether used in the singular or plural in this Privacy Policy, shall have the meaning given to them in the GT&CU or shall have the following meaning:
3. The legal bases for processing
In accordance with the Personal Data Regulation, the processing operations set out in this Privacy Policy are justified on a specific legal basis.
3.1. The Data Subject has given consent to the processing of their personal data for one or more specific purposes.
The Site has required that the User give their specific consent in order to carry out specific processing that is clearly explained upon obtaining the said consent.
For Professionals, this consent to receiving commercial and promotional communications is given when the Pro Access is created. Professionals may unsubscribe through an unsubscribe link in any communication sent by the Data Controller.
3.2. The processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the User is a party or in order to take steps at the request of the User prior to entering into a contract.
In order to use the Site and benefit from its services, in particular the benefit of Pro Access for Professionals, the Data Subject has accepted at least the GT&CU. These documents establish a formal contractual relationship between the Data Subject and the Data Controller and form in particular the legal basis on which the Data Controller collects and processes the Data Subject’s Personal Data.
These Data are required to perform a certain number of processing operations in the course of the contractual relationship between the Data Subject and the Data Controller, the purposes of which are detailed in paragraph 4 – The purposes of the processing.
3.3. The processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the Data Controller is subject.
The processing of Personal Data may also be necessary to comply with a legal obligation to which the Data Controller is subject, for example, the storage of Site access logs, in accordance with Decree No. 2021-1362 of 20 October 2021 on storing data that enable any person who has contributed to the creation of online content to be identified, adopted pursuant to Article 6(II) of Act No. 2004-575 of 21 June 2004 on trust in the digital economy enabling any person who has contributed to the creation of online content to be identified.
Compliance with the legal obligations incumbent on the Data Controller by the health vigilance provisions set down in particular in the French Public Health Code may also be used as the legal basis for the processing of Personal Data.
3.4. The processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the Data Controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the User which require protection of personal data, in particular where the User is a child under the age of 15.
The Data Controller may have a legitimate interest justifying the processing of the User’s Personal Data, such as processing the subject of a contact made by a User.
In this case, the Data Controller ensures that the processing in question is indeed required to fulfil its legitimate interest and assesses the consequences of this processing on the User, in particular taking into account the nature of the Personal Data processed and the way in which they are processed.
The Data Controller ensures that it takes account of the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the User by allowing the User, at any time, to object to all or part of the processing described in this Privacy Policy, and to exercise their Specific Rights, under the conditions set down in paragraph 9 – Exercising Users’ Specific Rights.
