You have several rights under the regulations on the protection of personal data:
The right to object to the processing of your personal data, subject to providing reasons relating to your particular situation, and the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data in certain cases provided for by the regulations. Where applicable, we will no longer process this personal data, unless we have legitimate and compelling reasons to do so that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or if such processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims..
Right to object to any commercial prospecting : you may at any time request to no longer receive our communications relating to our offers, news and events. This right can be exercised in particular via the unsubscribe link in each prospecting email.

A right to information : you have the right to obtain clear, transparent and understandable information about how we use your personal data and your rights. This Policy is an example of this.

Right to rectification : you have the right to have your personal data rectified if it is inaccurate or incomplete, despite our efforts to keep it up to date, which will enable us to comply with our obligation to keep your data up to date.
A right to data portability, i.e., under certain conditions, the right to receive the personal data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used computer format and to have it transmitted to a third party, if technically possible.

Right to restriction: you have the right to exercise this right if (i) you wish to contest the accuracy of your personal data or (ii) you need the data processed by us to exercise or defend your legal rights and you wish to protect yourself from any possible deletion by us (for example, in the event that the legal retention period has expired, we no longer have any operational need to retain this data, etc.).. We inform you that you automatically have this right when you have objected to processing based on our legitimate interest on grounds relating to your particular situation, while we verify whether the legitimate grounds on which we base this processing override your interests, rights or freedoms. .
Where applicable, you have the right to define general or specific guidelines for certain processing operations, for the storage, erasure and communication of your personal data after your death. You may modify or delete these guidelines at any time. You can send us these specific guidelines by writing to the address below.
