Your personal data may also be processed indirectly in connection with trade fairs or social networks (e.g. Linkedin).

On the other hand, when you voluntarily publish content on the pages we publish on social networks, you acknowledge that you are entirely responsible for any personal information you may transmit, whatever the nature and origin of the information provided.

What personal data do we process and for how long?

We have summarized the categories of personal data and their respective retention periods below:

●     Professional identification data (e.g. surname, first name, position, company, etc.) and contact details (e.g. e-mail address and business telephone number, etc.) are kept for the duration of the service, plus the statutory limitation periods, which are generally 5 years.

●     When there is confusion between the name of your structure and your personal name (e.g.: auto-entrepreneur, VSE, etc.), economic and financial data (e.g.: bank account number, verification code, etc.) kept for the time necessary for the transaction and the management of invoicing and payments, plus the statutory limitation periods, which are generally 5 to 10 years.

●     Email address, kept for a maximum of 3 years from the last contact we had with you as part of our email prospecting campaigns, and kept until the end of your newsletter subscription to receive our newsletter.

●     Geolocation data kept for a maximum of 2 months.

●     Connection data (e.g. logs, IP address, etc.) stored for 1 year.

●     Cookies are generally stored for a maximum of 13 months.

Once the applicable retention periods have expired, the deletion of your personal data is irreversible and we will no longer be able to communicate it to you. At most, we can only keep anonymous data for statistical purposes.

Please also note that in the event of litigation, we are obliged to retain all personal data concerning you for the duration of the case, even after the expiry of the retention periods described above.

What rights do you have to control the use of your personal data?

The applicable data protection regulations grant you specific rights which you can exercise, at any time and free of charge, to control the use we make of your data.

●     Right to rectify personal data that is incorrect, outdated or incomplete.

●     The right to request the deletion ("right to be forgotten") of personal data that is not essential to the proper functioning of our services.

Requests cannot come from anyone other than you. We may therefore ask you to provide proof of identity if there is any doubt about the identity of the person making the request.

We will respond to your request as quickly as possible, subject to a maximum of three months from receipt if the request is technically complex or if we receive many requests at the same time.

Please note that we can always refuse to respond to any excessive or unfounded request, particularly if it is repetitive.
