VII – DATA COLLECTED BY THE INTERMEDIARY OF COOKIES

7.1 Definition of cookies and collection of consent

Cookies are computer files containing a number of items of information downloaded from Users’ devices when they visit a website. At each subsequent visit, cookies will be transmitted either to the original website or to any other site that recognises them. Cookies are useful because they allow a site to recognise the User’s device without, however, allowing the user to be identified.

Cookies allow BELIEVE to improve its Sites and offer a better, more personalised service, for example by storing information about User preferences and to recognise Users during their subsequent visits.

Cookies can be configured by Users in their browser and in the window displayed by BELIEVE on the Sites intended for this purpose. Users will have the opportunity to configure cookies, accept those they wish or refuse to manage their preferences, in the configuration window provided for this purpose. However, the modification of certain parameters may have an impact on the proper functioning of the Sites. Users have the option of accepting or refusing cookies or modifying their settings at any time. Acceptance of cookies constitutes consent by the User.

7.2 Cookies used on the Sites

BELIEVE may be required to use the following categories of cookies on the Sites:

  • strictly necessary cookies: These cookies are essential and necessary to allow users to browse the Sites, use Site functionalities, and access secure areas (e.g. accounts). Without these cookies, certain features or Services cannot be provided. These cookies are not used to target Users, advertise, or memorise their browsing on the Internet;
  • performance cookies: These cookies collect information about how Users or simple visitors use the Sites (e.g. which pages are visited most often or whether an error message is displayed on the site). These cookies do not collect information identifying Users as a visitor. All information collected by cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. Cookies are only used to improve the functioning of the website;
  • functional cookies: These cookies remember user settings such as the country from which the site was visited, the language used or the region in which the User is located. This information may then be used to provide an experience better adapted to User choices to make their visits more appropriate. Information collected by these cookies may be made anonymously. Cookies may not be used to trace browsing activity on other sites;
  • targeting or advertising cookies: These cookies collect information about users’ browsing habits in order to make the advertising proposed more relevant to their interests. They are used to limit the number of times an advertisement or advertising campaign is displayed as well as to measure its effectiveness. Cookies are generally placed by a third-party advertising system with the agreement of the website operator. They remember the websites consulted and this information can be shared with third parties such as advertisers. Often, these cookies will be linked to a functionality of the site provided by a third party organisation;
  • cookies of social networks and/or music platforms: These cookies allow Users to share their experience on the Sites on social networks and/or musical platforms. These cookies are not controlled by BELIEVE. The collection of information may be linked to advertising or targeting activities in accordance with the privacy or confidentiality policy specific to each social network.

In the event that Users do not wish information to be collected through cookies, they may, in addition to the configuration options offered by BELIEVE Sites, follow the procedure for objecting to the use of certain cookie files specific to their device. For more information: http://www.allaboutcookies.org/. BELIEVE reminds its Users that in the event of opposition to the use of certain cookie files specific to the User’s connection device by the User, access to certain promotions or functionalities of the Sites or the Services may not be possible.

BELIEVE Sites and Services are not necessarily compatible with signals from browsers and allow for not being traced. These signals are called “ Browser-based do-not-track-signals ”.

VIII – HOSTING-STORAGE AND TRANSFER OF DATA OUTSIDE THE EUROPEAN UNION

BELIEVE Services and Sites are controlled and operated from France. This Privacy Policy is subject to French law. BELIEVE hosts and stores the Data on servers located in the European Union.

Due to BELIEVE’s presence in many countries around the world, certain Data may be collected, transferred, hosted and/or more generally processed outside the User’s country of residence. Data protection and data security requirements differ from place to place and may not offer the same level of protection as those of the country of residence or origin of the Users. However, BELIEVE and its subsidiaries shall take appropriate measures such as controlling transfers on the basis of written agreements to ensure an adequate level of data protection regardless of the location, e.g. using data transfer methods approved by the European Commission (where data protection legislation is considered to be the most effective in the World). We also ask our third party partners to comply with the applicable data transfer obligations with respect to the personal data they receive on our behalf.

BELIEVE may, as specified in point V above, disclose User Data to third party partners in order, in particular, to ensure the maintenance and security of the Sites and Services to offer certain features, or to improve the functioning and appearance of the Sites and Services and to create new features.

We require these third parties to provide adequate confidentiality and security guarantees and to take the necessary physical, organisational and technical measures to protect and secure User Data, in accordance with applicable legislation. Any transfers of data outside the European Union shall be governed by guarantee mechanisms validated by the European Commission or the competent local authorities.

IX – SECURITY MEASURES

BELIEVE shall implement appropriate physical, technical, administrative and organisational security measures in order to protect under optimum conditions, the User Data collected and processed against their loss, theft, misuse, abusive use and against fraudulent access, disclosure, alteration and destruction.

No data transmission on the Internet can be 100% secure but BELIEVE is committed to implementing the security standards recognised in its sector and designed to protect and prevent unauthorised access, disclosure and use of your Personal Data.

These measures include, but are not limited to:

  • storage on secure servers within the European Union;
  • protection, including through data encryption processes such as Secure Sockets Layer (“SSL”) for credit card transactions and other bank payment transactions that require the use by Users of an SSL-enabled browser such as Safari, Netscape Navigator 3.0 (or later version), Chrome, Firefox or Internet Explorer;
  • limited access of employees or third party staff to databases containing the Data;
  • the establishment of contractual obligations for BELIEVE staff handling Data which impose confidentiality requirements they must fulfill.

In addition, Users have the opportunity to create on the Sites or when using the Services an access account or user account containing an identifier and password that only said Users are deemed to know to protect access to their account, to the Sites and Services. In order to further protect their Data, BELIEVE recommends that its Users periodically modify their password and do not disclose their identifiers to third parties under any pretext.

X – USER RIGHTS

Users who reside in France benefit from the protection of the law of 6 January 1978, known as the French Data Protection Act and residents of the European Union/European Economic Area have specific and complementary protection of the other measures implemented by BELIEVE of their Data under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter the “GDPR“) 2016/679.

In this respect, the Users have the following rights:

  • right to Information: Users have the right to obtain clear, transparent and understandable information on how BELIEVE uses their Personal Data in connection with the Sites and the Services and their rights. This is the subject of this Privacy Policy;
  • right of access: Users have the right to access the Personal Data held by BELIEVE about them;
  • right of rectification: Users have the right to have their Personal Data corrected if they are inaccurate or incorrect and/or to complete them;
  • right to erasure / right to forget: Users have the right to request the erasure or deletion of their Personal Data. This right may, however, be limited by BELIEVE by legal grounds or legitimate interest in maintaining said Personal Data. Such a request will result in the termination of the User’s customer/user account and the User will no longer be able to access the Sites or Services;
  • right to object to direct marketing: Users may at any time request to no longer receive communications relating to the offers of Services, Products, news or events of BELIEVE or third party partners. In this case, they may use the hyperlink provided for this purpose in each email or promotional communication received or the STOP SMS which appears in each promotional SMS received. Users may also request to receive non-personalised communications on the Products and Services. BELIEVE will use its best efforts to communicate to each third party partner to which BELIEVE has communicated such User Personal Data, Users’ request for de-registration/ unsubscribing/ withdrawal, unless such communication proves impossible or requires disproportionate efforts. In this case, the Users will be responsible for contacting the third party in question directly in order to request de-registration/ unsubscribing/ withdrawal from receipt of said communications.
  • right to withdraw consent at any time for consent-based data processing: Users may withdraw their consent to the processing of their Personal Data when such processing is based on consent;
  • right to data portability: Users have the right to request copying, transferring their Personal Data to another database. This right applies only to Personal Data provided by Users, and provided that the processing is based on an agreement or consent and made using automated processes. BELIEVE will return to the User, Data in a structured manner and in a legible format.

In order to exercise these rights, or in the event of questions about this Privacy Policy, or Users’ Personal Data, Users must send an email accompanied by an identity document proving the identity of the User and duly signed to the following contact address: dpo@believedigital.comdpo@believedigital.com.

If BELIEVE fails to respond or to respond satisfactorily, any complaint concerning BELIEVE’s use of Personal Data may be addressed directly to the competent supervisory authority which is, for Europe, the CNIL “Commission Nationale de l’Informatique et des Libertés” on its website www.cnil.fr or at the following address:

XI – SECURITY BREACHES

In accordance with articles 33, 34 and 55 of the GDPR, if BELIEVE is the victim of a breach of the security system or is aware of a breach thereof, it is obliged to report it within 72 hours to the competent European local authority when the breach concerns Personal Data.

Users will not be informed of this breach if:

  • BELIEVE has implemented appropriate technical and organisational protection measures and these measures have been applied to the Personal Data affected by such breach, in particular those measures which render the Personal Data incomprehensible for any person who is not entitled to access it, such as encryption;
  • BELIEVE has implemented subsequent measures that ensure that the high risk to the rights and freedoms of Users is no longer likely to occur or;
  • it would require disproportionate efforts. In this case, public communication or similar measures are instead carried out to inform Users as efficiently as possible.

If the breach of Personal Data is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of Users, BELIEVE will notify them of the breach as soon as possible, in clear and simple terms.

The communication shall include at least:

  • a description of the nature of the personal data breach, including (to the extent possible) the categories and approximate number of persons affected by the breach and the categories and approximate number of personal data records concerned;
  • the name and contact details of the contact point from which additional information can be obtained;
  • a description of the likely consequences of the personal data breach; and
  • a description of the measures taken or envisaged by BELIEVE to remedy the breach of Personal Data, including, where appropriate, the measures taken to mitigate its potential adverse effects.
