5. Right of access, rectification and opposition
If you are registered as a user, by means of your login and your password, you have the possibility to consult your personal data yourself and, where applicable, to change it. You can click on “My account”. You will then have the opportunity to update your personal data.
Subject to a dated and signed written request sent to the data processing manager at the address referred to in the section contact data of this privacy policy, the user may, after providing proof of their identity (enclosing a copy of their identity document), obtain, free of charge, a written communication or a copy of the personal data which has been collected relating to them.
The data processing manager may require the payment of reasonable costs based on the administrative costs for any additional copy requested by the user.
When the user makes this request by electronic means, the information is provided in an electronic form in current use, unless the user requests it to be provided otherwise.
The copy of the user’s data will be communicated to them no later than in the month after receipt of the request.
If despite our efforts to ensure the date is accurate and up-to-date, erroneous information has been registered, we will correct them at your request.
Refusing the processing of your data is possible when you have this right. This is only the case when processing is not required to comply with an obligation to which the data processing manager is subject by or under an act, a decree or order, and when you have serious and legitimate reasons to refuse as regards your particular situation (in a situation where your data has been the subject of unlawful processing, for example).
6. Right to erasure
You have the right to request the removal and deletion of your personal data when there is no sufficient reason for its continued processing or when you reject the processing and there is no legitimate imperative reason to justify this processing.
Data protection managers may refuse to delete the data for specific reasons, such as those of complying with a legal obligation.
7. Security and confidentiality
To ensure the security and confidentiality of personal data that we collect online, we use networks protected by standard devices such as firewalls, passwords, secure and encrypted access.
When processing your personal data, we take all reasonable measures to protect it against any loss, misuse, unauthorised access (encryption of stored data), disclosure, alteration or destruction.
La Septième Tasse has implemented security measures to prevent the loss of data, to preserve the integrity of the data and to control access to the data. These measures comply with the regulations on the protection of personal data.
The security measures we have implemented are subject to constant improvement and take into account technological development.
8. Duration of conservation
Your personal data will not be kept for a period exceeding that necessary to achieve the purpose of the processing, unless the conservation of the data is imposed by law, decree or order (for example, accounting and tax obligations).
The data be deleted from our database immediately it is no longer required for the purpose of the processing for which the duration of conservation applies, and if you have duly exercised your right to delete the data.
9. Internet tags
We may collect and process information about your visit to our website, such as the pages visited, the preceding website visited and searches carried out. This information will allow us to improve the content of the site, and to compile statistics on individuals using our site for the purposes of studying the internal market.
The European Commission’s current document makes a real distinction between “useful”, cookies, which are non-intrusive in respect of private life, and cookies related to advertising. The document explains that technical cookies, or audience measurement or analytical cookies will be tolerated without the need for consent. This will not be the case for third party cookies, which are clearly covered by the new rules, which must function with the explicit consent of the internet user for each such action carried out.
Cookies are mentioned only once in the GDPR, as the regulation is intended to be as general as possible. Nevertheless, they are also in the proposal for the development of the e-privacy directive, which must be updated and should be applied in association with European regulations (within a period of 6 months to 2 years after 25 May 2018).
What we current know:
- Cookies vital to the operation of the site will always be tolerated
- Some analytical cookies will be tolerated if they correspond to the activity of the site and do not interfere with the visitor
- Advertising cookies could be prohibited
Our web site uses cookies in order to make navigation more useful and reliable. Some of these cookies are essential to the operation of the website, others make it possible to improve the user experience.
Most web browsers are configured to automatically accept cookies. If the user wishes to personalise the management of these cookies, they must modify their browser parameters. Users can find additional information on this subject under the section “Cookie management” in this document.
By visiting and using our website, the user expressly agrees to how we manage cookies.
10. User responsibility
Although La Septième Tasse makes all possible efforts to protect your privacy, effective protection is of course only possible if you also take the measures necessary to preserve your privacy.
Regarding the use of services provided by La Septième Tasse, you are required to:
- duly ensure the privacy of any user data (such as a user name or a password), so that this data remains accessible only to you.
- choose a secure password. This means that it must consist of at least 8 characters combining both letters and other characters, placed in an order that cannot be easily discovered.
- transmit valid and usable contact information in order that you can be contacted in a reasonable period and in a reasonably confidential manner.
- maintain the security of your workstation (up-to-date antivirus software)
11. Links to other sites
This data protection policy applies only to our site, and not to websites held by third parties. We sometimes provide links to other websites which we feel may be of interest to our visitors. In this case, we ensure that these sites fulfil the strictest criteria. However, given the nature of the internet, we cannot guarantee the rules relating to confidentiality and protection of personal data for the websites to which we provide an access link and cannot be held responsible for the content of sites other than ours.
12. In the case of data leak
La Septième Tasse will notify the customer in full detail if a data leak with a potential impact for the customer occurred within its organisation and for which La Septième Tasse is accountable, no later than 2 working days after La Septième Tasse has become aware of such.
La Septième Tasse will communicate to the customer, on its own initiative, all available information about the data leak, including the nature and the scope of the personal data and the planned security measures.
Nevertheless even in case of a data leak, La Septième Tasse has been proactive by heavily encrypting all end user data, thus rendering unusable the stolen data.
14. In the context of our activities relating to in-store backups
In the context of our backup activities, we implement all reasonable measures in order to assure our customers that their personal data processed by us is limited only to personal data that can reasonably be considered necessary for the purposes provided for in our privacy policy (including the delivery of services on their behalf). The personal data of our customers is processed only during the time required for the intended purposes and for which we have a valid legal basis (their explicit request for data backup) and during which it is our legitimate interest to proceed with the processing of this data for the purposes of carrying out our activity and the execution of our obligations derived from the contract). In addition, we will retain the personal data for a period of one month, after which the data will be destroyed, except in the case of a written instruction on the part of the customer confirming immediate destruction.
