6. Who can receive or access your personal data?

Our suppliers and service providers

We can share information about you with service providers, for example, subcontractors and other organisations, to allow them to provide us services or to provide them directly to you on our behalf. These third parties include cloud service providers (e.g., email hosting and management services), ad agencies, administrative services, credit and debit card payment processing services, client satisfactions surveys, or other third parties which provide us with services and help us conduct our activities and operate our website.

When we use external service providers, we only disclose personal data necessary for the service, and we establish a contract requiring them to respect the security and confidentiality of your data and banning them from using it for other purposes that would violate our specific guidelines.

Third parties that provide you products and services via our intermediary

We work closely with various third parties in order to provide you with a selection of products and services that are complementary to the ones we are providing you.

If our intermediary submits a request concerning one or many of these products or services, the said third party can use your data to provide you with information and to meet their obligations arising from contracts between you.

These third-party product providers can share your data with us, and it would be used in accordance with the provisions contained herein. In some cases, they will perform the role of your data controller, and so we highly advise you to read their privacy protection policy.

Other ways in which we may share your data

We can share your personal data:

As part of a sale of part or all of our company and assets to a third party or as part of a restructuring or reorganisation of the company
If we are required to divulge or share personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation, subpoena, court order or government regulation, to detect or report a crime, to implement or apply the modalities of our contracts or to maintain the rights, property, or security of our visitors and clients
In order to respect the relevant terms of use and to protect rights, including our companies’ right to privacy, property, or security
If you have consented to this sharing

However, we always take appropriate measures in these cases to help ensure that your right to privacy is protected.

In this case, we will ensure that the appropriate security and confidentiality measures are taken to ensure that your right to privacy is protected, as stated herein.

We only store your personal data the amount of time during which they are necessary to meet the goal of their processing, and to meet our various legal and regulatory obligations. Barring special cases, this length is indicated at the time when your personal data are collected.
