1. Collection of information

We collect information when you connect to our site, when you request a price quote or information, or when you place an order. The information collected includes the name of your company/legal entity or your name in the case of a natural person. For a company, the name of our contact(s), their email address(es) and telephone number(s) are also recorded. The information necessary for billing will also remain in our possession. Payments made online are made in a secure manner and we do not need to know the banking information provided for payment, which remains the responsibility of the bank or of PayPal. If you have provided us with your bank account details (RIB or IBAN), they are kept in a secure manner in accordance with the standards of the GDPR.

When you connect to our website, we automatically receive and record information from your computer and browser, notably your IP address, your word-processing software, versions of the software and type of equipment (PC, MAC, tablet and mobile etc.).

All the information that we gather is used only for internal purposes and will never be sold, exchanged, transferred or turned over to any other company for any reason whatsoever, except in the case of an official request from the competent authorities in such matters who must conduct legal investigations on unlawful activities, presumed fraud or situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations against our conditions of use, or when the law requires that we provide this information. This does not include trusted third parties that help us to operate our website, implement or modify our management programme or conduct our affairs, as long as these parties agree to treat this information as confidential. Your information is never transferred or processed outside of the European Union. We do not send any newsletters.

We are implementing a variety of security measures to maintain the security of your personal information, based on recommendations from the GDPR text, with which we are in compliance. We use state-of-the-art encryption to protect sensitive information that is communicated online. We also protect your information offline. Only employees and service providers who need to do specific work (for example billing or customer service) have access to identifiable personal information. The computers and servers used to store identifiable personal information are kept in a secure environment.
