We will never sell or rent your personal information to third parties without your explicit consent.
We will only share your information with service providers under contract who help with parts of our business and technical operations (for example, cloud storage, data analytics and IT maintenance).These entities are bound by contractual obligations to keep personal information confidential and can use it only for the purposes for which we disclose the information to them.

ARTICLE 7 – PERSONAL DATA TRANSFERS
Personal data that we collect from you may be stored and processed in, and transferred to, countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA). For example, this could happen if one of our service providers is located in a country outside the EEA. These countries may not have data protection laws equivalent to those in force in the EEA.
If we transfer personal data outside the EEA this way, we will take the necessary steps to ensure that your personal data continues to be protected in compliance with the applicable laws and regulations, notably by only transferring your personal data to businesses established in countries recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of protection for your personal data or to organizations with whom we have entered into contractual arrangements to ensure an appropriate protection of your personal data, including the European Commission standard contractual clauses or that commit themselves to applying a code of conduct or a certification mechanism validated by the competent European authorities.

We maintain administrative, technical, personnel, physical, electronic and procedural safeguards in connection with the collection, storage and disclosure of your personal information and secure all connections with industry standard transport layer security.
No matter how hard we try, no method of transmission over the Internet and no method of electronic storage is completely secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security. If we become aware of a security breach, we will notify the Users concerned so that they can take appropriate action.
In the event that the integrity and confidentiality of your data is compromised, the data Controller undertakes to comply with the procedures established under the French Data Protection Act of 6 January 1978 and the GDPR.
