Our website respects your privacy and seeks to protect your personal data. The Privacy Policy explains how we collect and use your personal data (under certain circumstances). It also mentions the procedures followed to ensure the privacy of your information. Finally, this policy sets out the options available to you regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data. By visiting the website directly or through another website, you agree to the practices described in this policy. Protecting your data is very important to us. Therefore, your name and other information relating to you are used in accordance with the manner set out in the Privacy Policy. We will collect information when necessary or if it is directly relevant to our dealings with you. We will retain your data in accordance with the law or for use for the purposes for which it was collected. You can browse the site without having to provide any personal data. Your personal identity remains anonymous throughout your visit to the site and is not disclosed unless you have a special electronic account on the site that you access using a username and password.
We may need to collect your information if you wish to register a purchase order for a commodity from our site. We collect, store, and process your data necessary to follow up on your purchase from our site to secure any potential claims that may appear later, and to provide you with the services available to us. We may collect personal information including, but not limited to, name, gender, date of birth, email address, postal address, delivery address (if different), telephone number, payment details, and payment card details. We use the information you provide to enable us to process your orders and to provide you with services and information displayed on our site and which you request. Furthermore, we will use the information you provide in managing your account with us, to verify financial transactions you conduct online, audits of downloading data from the site, identifying site visitors, developing site page designs and/or contents, and customizing them for users. We carry out various research related to demographics and send useful or requested information to the user, for example, information about products and services, provided you do not object to being contacted regarding this. Communication is via email to provide you with some details about other products and services if you wish, and if you prefer not to receive any promotional and marketing communications, please opt out of this option at any time. We may give your name and address to a third party for the purpose of delivering your purchase order to you (for example, a delivery agent or supplier). We may be able to store details regarding your current order on our site, but we cannot retrieve them directly for security reasons. By logging into your account on the site, you can view the information and details of your purchases that you have ordered or will soon submit. You can also manage your address details. You should also undertake to deal with total confidentiality when accessing your personal data, so do not make it available to an unauthorized third party. We do not assume any responsibility resulting from the misuse of passwords unless this misuse arises from an error on our part.
Other uses of your personal information We may use your personal information in opinion polls and marketing research, based on your desire, for statistical purposes while ensuring total confidentiality, and you have the right to withdraw at any time. We do not send any answers to any third party. Your email address is not disclosed unless you wish to participate in competitions. We keep poll answers in a place completely separate from your private email. We may send information about us, or about the site or our other sites, or about our products, sales, sales offers, newsletters, and other things related to our group's affiliates or partners. If you do not wish to obtain this additional information (or any part of it), please click on the "Unsubscribe" link found in any email sent to you, and we will stop sending this information to you within seven working days (every day except Saturdays, Sundays, and national and religious holidays) of receiving your notification. We will contact you to inquire about information if it is unclear. We may use some data, while maintaining complete privacy and confidentiality on the site, for other purposes including verifying the locations of users and monitoring their visit to the site or the links contained in the email when they subscribe to receive it, and to provide that anonymous data, which does not allow your actual personal identity to be determined, to a third party such as publishers, for example. However, that data will not lead to your identification (as it is non-identifying).
Competitions In relation to any competition, we use the data to notify winners and to announce our offers. You can find more details about the participation conditions for each competition separately.
Third Parties and Website Links We may transfer your information to other companies in our group or to our agents and contractors to assist us in related transactions in accordance with the terms of the Privacy Policy. We may, for example, resort to a third party to assist us in delivering products to you, receiving payments from you, using them for statistics and marketing research purposes, or to assist the customer service team. We may need to exchange information with a third party for the purpose of fraud protection and credit risk reduction. In the event that our company or part of it is sold, we may have to transfer our databases that include your personal information. Other than as stipulated in the Privacy Policy, we will not sell your personal data or disclose it to a third party without obtaining prior consent from you unless it is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, or if we are required to do so by law. The site may contain third-party advertisements or links leading to other sites or frames of other sites. We inform you that we are not responsible for the privacy policy of any third party or the content of those policies applied on other sites, and we are not responsible towards any third party to whom we transfer your data in accordance with the Privacy Policy.
Accepting cookies is not considered a basic requirement for visiting the site. However, we point out that the "cart" functions on the site cannot be used and any item cannot be ordered without activating cookies. Cookies are small text files that allow our server to identify your computer as a unique user when visiting certain pages of the site. Your browser stores these files on your computer's hard drive. Cookies can be used to discover the Internet Protocol (IP) address, which saves you time when you are on the site or want to visit it. We use cookies to ensure your comfort when browsing this site (to remember, for example, your identity when you want to modify your shopping cart without having to re-enter your email address) and not for the purpose of obtaining or using other information about you (for example, for targeted marketing purposes). You can set your browser so that it does not accept cookies, but this would limit your use of the site. We ask you to be sure that our recourse to cookies does not contain any personal or private information, is free of viruses, and this site uses Google Analytics, a service provided by Google to analyze web pages. To analyze how users use the site, Google Analytics relies on cookies, which are text files placed on your computer. Google will transfer the information generated by the cookies about your use of this site (including your IP address) to servers in the United States where it will be stored. Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the site, prepare reports for site operators about its activity, and provide other services related to site activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to a third party if required to do so by law or if a third party processes the information on behalf of Google. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data it holds. You can refuse the use of cookies by choosing the appropriate settings on your browser, but we ask you to take into account that you will then not be able to benefit from the full functionality of the site. By using this site, you agree to Google using your data in the manner and for the purposes detailed above.
We use appropriate security techniques and procedures to prevent any unauthorized or illegal access to your information or its loss or destruction. When we collect data through the site, we store your personal information on a database within a secure electronic server. We use firewall systems on our servers. When we collect payment card details electronically, we protect them through the use of encryption, such as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). It is therefore difficult for any hacker to decrypt your information since we cannot guarantee 100% protection. We strongly advise you not to send all credit card or debit card details when you communicate with us electronically and without encryption. We put direct physical, electronic, and procedural guarantees on the process of collecting, storing, and disclosing your information. Our security procedures require us to sometimes ask you for proof of identity before we disclose your personal information to you. It is your responsibility to protect your password and your computer from any unauthorized use.
