Thank you for visiting the Website of IFSgenevievebazin.com and reading our privacy policy (hereinafter referred to as the Policy).

By browsing our website or using our systems or services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy and consent to the processing of your personal data and information in accordance with this Policy, where applicable.

  1. Objectives of the Privacy Policy : 

Respect for privacy and the protection of personal information are essential to us, which is why, through this Policy, we intend to protect it in accordance with applicable laws.

To ensure this protection, IFSgenevievebazin.com will only collect, process and share personally identifiable information with the consent of the individual, unless permitted or required by law, in which case your consent will not be required. 

The purpose of the Policy is to inform users of why and how IFSgenevievebazin.com, or anyone acting on its behalf, will collect and use their personal information. It is intended to be in plain language to ensure informed consent from users.  

For the purposes of this Policy, “personal information” means any information about an identifiable individual or information that allows an individual to be identified. Wherever possible, we will anonymize, pseudonymize and/or aggregate such information so that it no longer identifies an individual.

2. Effective date 

This Policy applies from 11/04/2024. 

This Policy replaces the Privacy Policy as of 11/04/2024.

3. Consent procedures 

We are committed to obtaining consent before collecting personal information from an individual. Consent may be express or implied and may be provided directly by the individual or by his or her authorized representative.

We prefer to obtain express consent, whether verbally, electronically or in writing. However, implied consent may be reasonably inferred from a person’s action or inaction. For example, providing a name and address to receive a publication, or a name and telephone number to obtain an answer to a question, is considered implied consent to the collection of information containing personal information. In determining the appropriate type of consent, we take into account the sensitivity of the personal information involved, the purposes for which it is collected and the reasonable expectations of a similarly situated individual. 

If we want to use personal information for a new purpose, we will describe the intended use and ask for consent again.

It is not always possible, particularly in the case of government requests, to obtain consent for the collection, use or disclosure of personal information. We will never disclose such information other than in accordance with this Policy, except as required or permitted by law.

7. Processing Methods Used

IFSgenevievebazin.com places the utmost importance on the security of your personal information and is committed to processing it according to industry standards and norms, solely for the purposes for which they are collected as described in this policy or in a specific notice for this purpose. However, absolute safeguarding of this information is impossible given the inherent security limitations of transmission via the Internet. Therefore, the information transmitted to us is ultimately at the user’s own risk.

8. Terms of Access and Control of Personal Information

IFSgenevievebazin.com ensures that all personal information in its possession is as accurate, current, and complete as necessary for the purposes for which it is used.

You have the right to request access to your personal information for verification purposes and to request correction if it is inaccurate. If you believe your personal information is inaccurate or if you wish to access your personal information, you can make a request using the contact information provided at the end of this Policy.

To the best of our ability, we will provide you with timely access to your personal information. However, for security reasons, we may need to verify your identity.

Additionally, there may be circumstances where we cannot provide you with access to your personal information. For example, when access could lead to the disclosure of another person’s personal information and that person refuses to consent to the disclosure, or when legal restrictions apply. If such a situation arises, we will notify you of the reason why we cannot provide you with access to your personal information.

If your request concerns data appearing on third-party web pages or platforms, please contact those third parties directly.

9. Sharing and Reasons for Sharing Personal Information with Third Parties

We do not share your personal information with companies, organizations, or individuals outside of IFSgenevievebazin.com, except for our authorized providers and partners who need access to the information for the purposes outlined in this policy and within its limits, as well as in the following cases:

● With your consen

● For storage in cloud servers, in which case personal information may transit through third-party jurisdictions. Note that we only retain the services of reputable companies with privacy policies.

● For external processing needs: We transmit personal information to other trusted companies or individuals who process it on our behalf, according to our instructions, in accordance with this privacy policy, with a degree of data security at least equivalent to ours, and in compliance with any other appropriate security and confidentiality measures.

In particular, we use third-party providers’ services to aggregate, clean, and analyze data in the cultural sector so that they can enhance these data and develop tools for the benefit of the public or sector actors. To do this, these providers process the provided information as follows:

The data is first prepared and then categorized for use

From the prepared data, the provider creates aggregate statistics containing general and non-personal information, sometimes combined with data from similar sources. These aggregated data are then used to establish aggregate statistics such as origin analyses (mainly via postal codes), as well as seasonal or pricing analyses (such as shopping basket type).

These data are then enriched using two different processes. The first is enrichment through the use of publicly available third-party data, such as socio-demographic data issued by the Census via postal code. The second process is called inference enrichment. Inference enrichment consists, for example, in the case of purchasing a ticket at the “under 25 years old” rate, in inferring that the individual concerned is under 25 years old.

● For legal reasons: We transmit personal information outside of our company if access to it is necessary to comply with applicable laws and regulations.

IFSgenevievebazin.com undertakes not to sell or rent your personal information to a third party.
