ACCESS to your personal data

-          service providers to the extent that they are involved in providing the service;

-          third parties providing us with IT services, such as platform providers, hosting services, technical support for our software and applications that may contain data about you, data analysis, and email distribution;

We may also retain your personal data beyond the period strictly necessary to manage your account for the purposes set out in this Policy and within the time limits imposed by applicable regulations.

 

TRANSFER of your personal data OUTSIDE the EU

Your data may be processed outside the European Union. In this case, we take the necessary steps with our service providers to ensure an adequate level of protection for your data, in full compliance with the regulations in force.

 

If the service providers concerned are not members of the Data Privacy Framework with regard to transfers to the United States of America, or are not located in a country with legislation considered to offer adequate protection, they will then have previously signed the “standard contractual clauses” of the European Commission or will be subject to binding internal rules approved by the supervisory authorities regarding the protection of personal data.

 

SECURITY of your personal data

To protect your data, we implement appropriate organizational and technical measures. Generally speaking, we strive to protect personal data, taking into account the sensitivity of the information in question and the potential risks induced by the processing and its implementation. We implement all necessary means to guarantee the confidentiality, integrity, availability, and resilience of your data. We also ensure that your data is stored in information systems that offer an appropriate level of security, to which access is protected, restricted, and recorded.

 

We enter into strict confidentiality agreements with all persons involved in data processing on our behalf. We also ensure that all staff members and all persons involved in data processing comply with all data protection rules and undertake to keep the processed data confidential. If you believe that your personal data is being used inappropriately by third parties, please inform us immediately by email at dpo@psg.fr
