As part of its activities, PYRENEX offers an e-commerce service accessible from the website www.pyrenex.com (the "Site"). As a result, PYRENEX collects personal data. The collection of this data is done via the Site or by telephone.

The purpose of this section is to provide clear, simple and complete information to the persons concerned ("you" or "your") about how PYRENEX ("PYRENEX", "we" or "our"), as data controller, collects and uses personal data about you and the means available to you to control such use and exercise your rights therein.

We respect your privacy and PYRENEX is committed to ensuring the highest level of protection regarding your personal data. Thus, PYRENEX makes sure to adopt and comply with a data processing policy compliant with the regulations currently in force. As such, PYRENEX fully respects the applicable European law regarding the protection of personal data, and in particular the European General Data Protection Regulation No. 2016/679 of 27th April 2016 (known as "GDPR") and French legislation applicable on the basis of the GDPR.

3. WHY IS YOUR PERSONAL DATA COLLECTED, WHAT ARE THE LEGAL BASES AND FOR HOW LONG IS THIS INFORMATION STORED?

3.1 Why is your personal data collected?

Your personal data is collected for specific, explicit and legitimate purposes.

Depending on the case, your personal data may be used for:

-          The management of your customer account, your shopping basket, your orders, your deliveries,

-          The payment of your orders,

-          To provide tools that allow sharing on social media.

PYRENEX may also use your personal data for administrative purposes or for any other purpose imposed by applicable law.

3.2 What are the legal bases?

Your personal data is processed by PYRENEX only in cases allowed by the applicable regulations, and in particular under the following conditions:

  • When you have expressed free, specific, informed and unambiguous consent regarding the processing of your personal data (eg subscription to our newsletter and the opening of your customer account),
  • When undertaking contractual or pre-contractual measures at your request (eg: placing your orders, delivery and payment of products, invoicing, execution of any other current or future service in relation to the use of the Site),
  • With respect to PYRENEX's legal and regulatory compliance (for example keepng invoices on record, fight against fraud),
  • When the legitimate interests of PYRENEX justify the treatment of such information (eg: manage and improve the Client/Customer relationship, promote our products and services, including the promotion of services adapted to your geographical location, the implementation of computer security measures).

Information in accordance with the applicable law is provided in each case.

3.3 For how long do we keep your data?

Most of your personal data is kept for as long as you are an "active" customer of the Site and have not asked PYRENEX to delete such information. In any case, your personal data will not be kept for more than 3 years after your last activity on the Site (which may be, for example, your last purchase or the last time you logged into your account) or your last visit if you are simply visiting the Site.

Your personal data will then be archived, with restricted access, for an additional duration strictly defined (legal obligations or for probative purposes) and authorised by law (payment, unresolved litigation, guarantee period...) or for anonyumous statistical information. Once the archive period is over, your personal data will be deleted.

However, there are special cases where the data retention period may be shorter. In this respect cookies will be stored on your device for 13 months after they have been placed. Similarly, your IP addresses relating to your consultations on the Site are retained (after being anonymised) for a period not exceeding 13 months. Finally, with regard to the data relating to your debit/credit cards, these are in principle suppressed once the transaction is completed, that is to say as soon as you have finalised a purchase. However, we may postpone the deletion of this data until you have received the product you ordered from us, plus, if applicable, the withdrawal period that you may have been offered.

In the case of a payment by a debit/credit card, the card number and expiry date may be retained as proof in case of an eventual dispute of the transaction. This data is stored in intermediary archives, for the duration 13 months after the card has been debited. This period may be extended to 15 months to take into account the use of deferred debit/credit cards. This data can only be used only in case of a transactional dispute.

The data relating to debit/credit cards can be kept longer subject to obtaining your express consent once you've been informed of the reason (for example facilitating payments made by regular customers). In other words personal data will be kept for the duration necessary to fulfill the purpose for which this data was collected. Your consent is confirmed when you check the relevant box.

Data on the CVV visual cryptogram on the back of your debit/credit card will not be stored. All card-related data is deleted once your debit/credit card expires.

4. WHO RECEIVES YOUR PERSONAL DATA?

The personal data collected is intended for PYRENEX, who is responsible for data processing and more specifically to the following internal departments: Marketing, Sales Administration, Customer Service, Accounting and Logistics.

This data may also be transmitted to our suppliers or subcontractors who contribute to the processing of orders placed on the Site, such as the companies responsible for the execution of orders, their payment, their delivery, our service providers and Site and database management companies. All of these third parties are subject to non-disclosure agreements.

Your data will not be transmitted to third parties for advertising and prospecting. Similarly, PYRENEX will not sell or rent any information or personal data about you without your express and prior agreement.

In addition, PYRENEX may have to transmit your data to the police authorities in the context of legal requisitions concerning the fight against fraud or to customs services for deliveries abroad.

Data (in particular relating to your identification) may also shared with third parties when you use the social media links/buttons that feature on the Site. This use is governed by the conditions of use of the social networks concerned, which we advise you to consult.

5. HOW IS YOUR PERSONAL DATA KEPT SAFE?

Your personal data is protected by technical and organisational measures compliant with French and European legal and regulatory requirements designed to ensure its security and confidentiality.

PYRENEX uses protection technologies that include encryption systems, individual authentication, firewalls and "fail2ban" attack detection software. We also regularly update our server software, antivirus systems and daily backup procedures.

Any payments made on the Site are made via secure payment systems. This confidential payment data is encrypted using an SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protocol and directly transmitted to the corresponding institution.

PYRENEX ensures, under written commitments and signed contracts, that its service providers or subcontractors provide the necessary guarantees and implement sufficient security measures to ensure the protection of the personal data that they process and to do so in accordance with the requirements laid down by the regulations in force on the protection of personal data.

Although PYRENEX takes reasonable measures to protect your personal data, no transmission or storage technology is completely foolproof.

In accordance with applicable regulations, in the event of proven violation of your personal data that could create a high risk for your rights and freedoms, PYRENEX undertakes to communicate this violation to the competent supervisory authority and, where required by the said regulations, to the persons concerned (individually or in general as the case may be).

Without prejudice to the above, it is your responsibility to exercise caution to prevent unauthorised access to your personal data and your devices (computer, smartphone, tablet...).

In addition, the Site offers links to third party websites that may interest you. PYRENEX has no control over the content of these third party sites or how these third parties protect the personal data they may collect. Consequently, PYRENEX declines any responsibility regarding the processing by these third parties of your personal data that is not subject to our privacy policy. It is your responsibility to inform yourself about these third party privacy policies.

6. WHAT ARE YOUR RIGHTS REGARDING YOUR PERSONAL DATA AND HOW TO EXERCISE THEM?

6.1. Your Rights

Subject to the limits set by the regulations in force, you have the following rights in respect of your personal data:

6.1.1 Right of access

You are entitled to obtain confirmation from us that your personal data is being processed or not and, where applicable, to request access to such personal data, including, without limitation, the nature of the personal data concerned, the purposes of the processing and the recipients. This right is not absolute, however, as we must take into account the rights and freedoms of others.

In this respect, you can request to receive an electronic copy (for any additional copy, PYRENEX is entitled to demand the eventual payment of reasonable fees based on the administrative costs incurred).

Before responding to your request, we are required by current regulations to verify your identity. We may also be required to ask you to provide us with more information in order to respond to your request.

If you have a customer account, you can directly access the data contained in your online account, the history of your transactions, as well as your subscription choices regarding our newsletter and commercial correspondence.

6.1.2 Right to rectification

You can ask for personal data to be corrected and limit its use while this data is being corrected. You also have the right, depending on the purposes of the processing, to request that your incomplete personal data be completed. If this is the case we are likely to ask you for supporting documents.

If you can not access your account or if the data you want to correct can not be corrected via access to your account, contact us via the means provided in Article 6.2.

6.1.3 Right of objection

When the collection and processing of your personal data is based on your consent (such as the creation of your customer account, the subscription to our newsletter, receiving commerical correspondence, the use of cookies on the Site), you have the right at any time to withdraw your consent.

For example, you can exercise this right by changing your newsletter subscription options, withdrawing your consent for the use of cookies or by removing information requested when opening your account.

If you delete data that is mandatory in order to create your account or access our services, you will no longer be able to benefit from the services linked to your account or place an order on the Site.

However, we will be entitled to refuse your request in the event that we demonstrate that there are legitimate and compelling reasons for the processing of your personal data that prevail over the interests and rights and freedoms of the data subject, or for the establishment, exercise or defense of rights in court. In accordance with the regulations in force, the withdrawal of your consent is only valid for the future and cannot therefore call into question the lawfulness of data processing carried out before this withdrawal.

6.1.4 Right not to be the subject of a decision based exclusively on automated processing

Subject to certain limitations, you have the right to object to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, producing legal effects that affect it or significantly affecting it.

6.1.5     Right to Data Deletion / Right to be Forgotten

You can also request the deletion of your personal data in the following cases:

  • The data is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed,
  • You want to withdraw your consent with regard to the processing of your personal data by us and there is no other legal basis for this data processing,
  • You believe and can establish that your personal data has been subject to unlawful processing,
  • Your personal data must be deleted to comply a legal obligation.

You may alternatively, within the limits provided by law, request the restriction of processing of your personal data.

Please note that notwithstanding the exercise of your right to deletion or limitation, we may retain certain personal data about you when required by law or when we have a legitimate reason to do so (for example, you have a pending order that has not yet been delivered, you have made purchases and we are legally obliged to keep some of your data for accounting purposes) for the fiscal year or for defending legal rights (this would be the case if we consider that you have violated our General Conditions of Use and Sale).

6.1.6 Right to limit the processing of your personal data

The applicable regulations state that this right may be invoked in certain cases, in particular the following:

  • When you dispute the accuracy of your personal data,
  • When you consider and can establish that the processing of your personal data is illegal but that you oppose the deletion of personal data and instead require the restriction of its use,
  • When PYRENEX no longer needs your personal data, but you still need it for the purposes of ascertaining, exercising or defending legal rights,
  • When you oppose the treatment of data that is based on the legitimate interest of the controller, during verification as to whether the legitimate grounds pursued by the controller will prevail over your own.

6.1.7 Right to personal data portability

You may, within the limits provided by law, ask PYRENEX:

  • on the one hand, to recover, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, the personal data that you have communicated to us and
  • on the other hand, to transmit this personal data to another controller without PYRENEX being able to oppose it.

6.1.8 The right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

If despite the efforts of PYRENEX to protect the confidentiality of your personal data, you believe that your rights have not been respected, you may file a complaint with a supervisory authority.

A list of supervisory authorities is available on the European Commission website available on: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection_en.

For France, it is the CNIL (https://www.cnil.fr/fr).

6.1.9 Right to decide the fate of your personal data after death

Finally, you have the right to decide the fate of your personal post-mortem data by adopting general or specific guidelines. PYRENEX undertakes to respect these guidelines. In the absence of guidelines, PYRENEX recognises that your heirs have the possibility of exercising certain rights, in particular the right of access and the right of opposition to proceed, in particular to close the deceased Customer's account and to oppose the treatment of the latter's personal data.

6.2. How to exercise your rights

For any question relating to our privacy policy and / or to exercise your rights as described in article 6.1, you can contact PYRENEX by email or by post, by sending a letter specifying the right (s) that you wish to enforce accompanied by a copy of proof of identity to the following email address: eshop@pyrenex.fr or PYRENEX - Service de gestion des données personnelles – 75 rue de Papin, zone industrielle de Péré, 40500 Saint-Sever – France.

PYRENEX undertakes to respond as soon as possible, and in any event, within one month from the receipt of your request.

If necessary, this period may be extended by two months, given the complexity and the number of requests addressed to PYRENEX. In this case, you will be informed of this extension and the reasons for the postponement.

If your application is submitted electronically, we will also reply to you electronically where possible, unless you specifically request otherwise.

If we do not respond to your request, we will give you the reasons why and you will then have the opportunity to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (in France the CNIL) and / or to launch a judicial appeal.

7. IS YOUR PERSONAL DATA TRANSFERRED OUTSIDE THE EUROPEAN UNION? WHAT ARE THE GUARANTEES?

We normally keep your personal data in the European Union. However, it is possible that the data that we collect when you use the Site or our services are transferred outside the European Union to countries whose personal data protection legislation differs from that applicable within the European Union.

This is especially the case with regard to the data transmitted to our service providers or subcontractors located outside the European Union who we use to deliver our products to you when your delivery address is located in a country that is not part of the European Union. When our subcontractor is located in a country whose legislation has not been based on an adequacy finding on the part of the European Commission, we make sure that the transfer of your personal data is supervised by the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission that ensure a sufficient level of protection of privacy and the fundamental rights of persons or equivalent guarantees or, for the United States, that our subcontractor adheres to security principles (Privacy Shield).

8. HOW IS YOUR PERSONAL DATA USED WITH RESPECT TO SOCIAL NETWORKS?

The Site uses third-party computer applications that allow you to share content from our site with other people or to inform these other people of your opinion or your opinion about content of our Site. This is particularly the case of the "Share" and "Like" buttons from social networks (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, etc.).

Your use of social networks to interact with PYRENEX is likely to result in data exchanges between PYRENEX and these social networks.

Practically and by way of example, if you are connected to the social network Facebook on your computer and you visit a Site page, Facebook is likely to collect this information. Similarly, if you click on the "Instagram" button on a Site page, Instagram will collect this information.

If you do not want the social network to link information collected through the Site to your user account, you must disconnect from the social network before visiting the Site.

In any event, we advise you to consult the privacy policies of these social networks to learn about the personal data they can collect through these plug-ins and the purposes for collecting your data, including for advertising purposes. You will be able to configure access and data confidentiality directly on the social networks.

Finally, we inform you that we may collect certain information and personal data about you related to your activity on PYRENEX's social media pages for advertising purposes (especially targeted advertising) and to improve our commercial relationship. This information and personal data thus collected are governed by this privacy policy.
