As such, the Company undertakes to respect your personal data, that are collected and processed during your use of the Site. In this regard, the Company complies with European and French legislation on the protection of personal data, namely Regulation EU 2016/679, known as the "GDPR" and the amended French Data Protection Act of 6 January 1978, no. 78-17, known as "Informatique et Libertés".
This data protection policy applies to all services offered by ADN Group to which you subscribe (excluding services provided and operated by third parties, in which case the privacy policy of those third parties applies and should be consulted).
1 - Purposes of processing and legal bases
Your personal data may be processed via the Site for the following purposes:
- To enable the performance of the service;
- To inform the Client, with their express and prior consent, of any other operations that may be carried out, such as subscription to a newsletter;
- To conduct studies and research anonymously for the purpose of improving the online training service.
The Company's contact form on the Site is intended for the relevant departments of the Company, to inform you about the Company's activity, to enable the Company to make a quotation proposal on the basis of the information collected, and to process your request/message. Client data is retained for as long as necessary for the management of the commercial relationship. Prospect data of non-clients may be kept for up to three years from their collection or the last contact from the prospect, unless agreed otherwise for a longer period.
The Site sets cookies, provided you consent. This consent is formalised by clicking on the "Accept" button on the banner that appears when you visit the Site. Details regarding the data collected via these cookies, their collection purposes, recipients, retention periods, and a reminder of your rights are available in our Site Cookie Policy.
2 - Recipients
The personal data we collect, as well as those we may subsequently collect, are intended for us as the data controller.
2.1 Data transferred to third parties
We ensure that only authorised persons have access to this data. Our subcontractors/service providers may receive this data in order to perform the services we entrust them with. We only pass on to these third parties the data they need to perform their services or tasks, and we require them not to use your data for any other purpose.
When these third parties act as processors under current regulations, they only act according to our instructions and are contractually obliged to maintain the same level of security and confidentiality for your data as we do, in accordance with the GDPR.
2.2 Data transferred to authorities and/or public bodies
In accordance with current regulations, data may be transmitted to competent authorities upon request, specifically to public bodies, legal representatives, ministerial officers, organisations responsible for debt recovery, exclusively to fulfil legal obligations, as well as in the event of the search for perpetrators of offences committed on the internet.
3 - Data retention period
Your data will not be retained beyond the period strictly necessary for the purposes described in this privacy policy, in line with GDPR requirements.
In this respect, we retain your data:
- For learners, ADN Group undertakes to delete data provided three years after their last registration.
- For newsletters, data is kept until you withdraw your consent or, if not, three years from your last contact with us.
- For cookies and other technologies, the retention period is 13 months.
Your data is deleted when retention periods expire. However, your data may be archived beyond these periods for the applicable legal limitation periods and for the purpose of investigation, identification, and prosecution of criminal offences, solely to make your data available to the judicial authority if required.
Archiving means that your data will no longer be accessible online but will be extracted and stored securely and separately.
All data is stored within the territory.
4 - Your data is protected
We take the protection, integrity, and confidentiality of your data very seriously. Accordingly, we implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to prevent unauthorised access or modification, disclosure, loss, or destruction of your data.
However, despite our efforts, no security measure can protect against all risks of misappropriation or hacking, for which, as data controller, we cannot be held liable. It is important that you keep your login details confidential to prevent unlawful use of your account.
