12. Children’s privacy protection

The company does not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 15, as the site is not intended for such children. Moreover, in accordance with Article 8 of European regulation 2016/679 with regard to the processing of personal data, “the processing of the personal data of a child shall be lawful where the child is at least 16 years old”, with the latter’s consent. Thus, in the event of recruitment of a minor who is at least 16 years old, the processing of the latter's personal data by the company does not require that “consent is given or authorised by the holder of parental responsibility over the child”.

13. What measures are taken to ensure your data is secure?

In an endeavour to guarantee the security of your data, the company takes all relevant, appropriate precautions and measures, whether physical, logical, technical, functional, administrative or organisational, in relation to the level of knowledge, costs involved and the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing, as well as the risks - the extent of likelihood and severity of which varies - for the rights and liberty of private individuals, to preserve the security and confidentiality of data and guarantee a level of security commensurate with the risk and, in particular, to prevent it being distorted, damaged or being accessed by unauthorised third parties.

Due to the difficulties inherent in conducting an activity on the Internet and the risks that you are aware of, resulting from the electronic transmission of data, the company cannot, however, be held to achieve a performance obligation.
Should difficulties arise, the company will make every effort to contain the risks and take all appropriate measures, as per its legal and regulatory obligations (corrective action, information to the national authority in charge of personal data protection and, if applicable, to the people concerned, etc.).

Should all or part of the processing of personal data be outsourced, the company contractually requires security guarantees from its subcontractors as well as confidentiality guarantees if they are likely to have access to the personal data (appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect this data).

14. What happens to your data on third-party Internet sites?

Links present on the site may direct you to third party sites, outside of the company’s site.

In this respect, you attention is drawn to the fact that the personal data protection policies of these sites may differ from the company’s policy.

In all cases, it is therefore advisable to read the personal data protection policy of each of the sites concerned.

In any event, the company cannot be held liable if data processed via one of these sites were to contravene applicable legal and regulatory provisions.

15. What should you do to be informed of updates to this policy?

The personal data protection policy is liable to be modified or adjusted at any time.

In the event of modification or adjustment, the new policy will be onlined on the site in the dedicated section. Moreover, all personal data collection forms on our site contain a link to this policy.
