Whenever https://patrickcontat.com/ processes Personal Data, https://patrickcontat.com/ takes all reasonable measures to ensure the accuracy and relevance of the Personal Data in relation to the purposes for which it processes them.

  • to improve browsing on the Website: connection and usage data

  • to conduct optional satisfaction surveys on https://patrickcontat.com/: email address

  • to conduct communication campaigns (SMS, email): phone number, email address

https://patrickcontat.com/ does not sell your personal data, which is therefore used only out of necessity or for statistical and analytical purposes.

  • right of access (Article 15 GDPR) and rectification (Article 16 GDPR), updating and completion of Users’ data

As soon as https://patrickcontat.com/ becomes aware of a User’s death and in the absence of instructions from the User, https://patrickcontat.com/ undertakes to destroy their data, unless retention is necessary for evidentiary purposes or to comply with a legal obligation.

If the User wishes to know how https://patrickcontat.com/ uses their Personal Data, requests rectification, or objects to processing, the User may contact https://patrickcontat.com/ in writing at:

Patrick Contat — DPO, Patrick Contat

https://patrickcontat.com/ refrains from processing, hosting, or transferring Information collected about its Clients to a country outside the European Union or recognized as “not adequate” by the European Commission without first informing the Client. However, https://patrickcontat.com/ remains free to choose its technical and commercial processors provided they offer sufficient guarantees with regard to GDPR requirements (No. 2016-679).

https://patrickcontat.com/ undertakes to take all necessary precautions to preserve the security of Information and in particular to prevent it from being communicated to unauthorized persons. However, if an incident affecting the integrity or confidentiality of Client Information is brought to the attention of https://patrickcontat.com/, it must inform the Client as soon as possible and communicate the corrective measures taken. Furthermore, https://patrickcontat.com/does not collect any “sensitive data”.

The User’s Personal Data may be processed by subsidiaries of https://patrickcontat.com/ and by processors (service providers), exclusively to achieve the purposes of this policy.

Within the limits of their respective responsibilities and for the purposes recalled above, the main persons likely to have access to Users’ data of https://patrickcontat.com/ are primarily the agents of our customer service department.

https://patrickcontat.com/ also collects information that helps improve the user experience and provide contextual advice:
last name, first name, postal address, email, Company.

This data is retained for a maximum period of 9 months after the end of the contractual relationship.

Despite all efforts, no method of transmission over the Internet and no electronic storage method is completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee absolute security. If we become aware of a security breach, we would notify the affected users so that they can take appropriate measures. Our incident notification procedures take into account our legal obligations, whether at national or European level. We undertake to fully inform our clients of any issues relating to the security of their account and to provide them with all necessary information to help them comply with their own regulatory reporting obligations.

No personal information of the user of the website https://patrickcontat.com/ is published without the user’s knowledge, exchanged, transferred, assigned, or sold on any medium whatsoever to third parties. Only in the event of the acquisition of https://patrickcontat.com/ and its rights could such information be transferred to a potential purchaser, who would in turn be bound by the same obligation to retain and modify the data vis-à-vis the user of the website https://patrickcontat.com/.
