The notion of personal data (“Personal Data“) refers to all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. An “identifiable” person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identification number or to one or more factors specific to them.

Please note that if your country’s legislation requires so, this Policy may be supplemented by local specifications that we keenly invite you to review on our Media.

  1. PURPOSES OF PERSONAL DATA COLLECTION

We principally use your Personal Data for the purposes of managing our client/prospects relationship, and especially responding to your requests or by regularly sending you news and information on our products, our brands, our initiatives and/or our Media that might arouse your interest.

We also use your Personal Data to improve your digital experience on our Media: understanding you interests in our Media and its contents, managing your online account, validating your enrolments to our initiatives, processing your payments, ensuring that our Media is presented in the most effective manner for you and for your computer, protecting you against potential fraudulent transactions.

 

  1. NON-DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL DATA

 We will not sell, share, or otherwise distribute your Personal Data to third parties except as provided in this Policy. We may disclose your Personal Data to other DAROME affiliates that agree to treat it in accordance with this Policy. Personal Data may also be transferred to third parties who act for or on our behalf, for further processing in accordance with the purpose(s) for which the data were originally collected or may otherwise be lawfully processed, such as services delivery, evaluating the usefulness of this website, marketing, data management or technical support. These third parties have contracted with us to only use Personal Data for the agreed upon purpose, and not to sell your Personal Data to third parties, and not to disclose it to third parties except as may be required by law, as permitted by us or as stated in this Policy.

Personal Data collected from you may also be transferred to a third party in the event that the business of this site or a part of it and the customer data connected with it is sold, assigned or transferred, in which case we would require the buyer, assignee or transferee to treat Personal Data in accordance with this Policy. Also, Personal Data may be disclosed to a third party if we are required to do so because of an applicable law, court order or governmental regulation, or if such disclosure is otherwise necessary in support of any criminal or other legal investigation or proceeding here or abroad.

 

  1. SECURITY AND CONFIDENTIALITY

To ensure the security and confidentiality of Personal Data that we collect on our Media, we use data networks protected, inter alia, by industry standard firewall and password protection. In the course of handling your Personal Data, we take measures reasonably designed to protect that information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction.

 

  1. STORAGE OF PERSONAL DATA

Your information is stored either in our databases or in the databases of our service providers.

In some cases, and mainly for technical reasons, those databases may be stored on servers located outside of the country from which you originally entered the data.

 

  1. DATA TRANSFER ABROAD

Mainly because of the international dimension of DAROME Group, and in order to optimize services quality, communication of information referred to above may involve transfer of Personal Data outside your country and/or to countries located outside the European Economic Area, whose legislations on protection of Personal Data differ from those of the European Union.

In such a case, rigorous and relevant measures, physical, organizational, procedural, technical and related to staff, ensure the safety and the confidentiality of Personal Data.
