PRIVACY AND PERSONAL DATA PROTECTION POLICY

This privacy policy was updated on 27 November 2019.

This privacy policy applies to both websites of the ASD Group (hereafter “the ASD Group”):

The ASD Group gives the assurance that the collection and processing of your personal data, carried out from the Group websites, will be performed in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 of 27 April 2016 (hereafter “GDPR”) and the law No. 78-17 of 6 January 1978 (PDF file) known as the Information Technology and Liberties Act.

The ASD Group undertakes to protect your privacy by implementing adequate measures to ensure the protection of your personal data. Through this privacy policy, the ASD Group provides you with information about how your personal data is collected and protected by our Group.

If we ask you to provide certain information that allows you to be personally identified when you use the websites of the ASD Group or any other ASD Group service, we assure you that it will be used only in accordance with this privacy policy.

This privacy policy may be updated. For that reason we suggest you view its content regularly.

1. What is personal data?

Within the meaning of article 4 of the GDPR, the term “personal data”, means “any information related to an identified or identifiable natural person”; an “identifiable natural person” is considered to be a natural person that can be identified, directly or indirectly, particularly via reference to an identifier, such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or one or more specific elements related to their physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural or social identity.”

On our websites, this data may in particular be contact data, data about the identity of the person, invoicing data or even technical data associated with browsing (e.g.: IP address).

2. What is the identity of the data controller?

Your data is collected by the ASD Group acting in the name and on behalf of:

The ASD Group collects, views, uses, changes, stores, transmits and erases your personal data in the context of its commercial and contractual activities.

The ASD Group ensures it collects only the personal data required to fulfil the purposes of the processing implemented. The ASD Group undertakes to collect no more data than is necessary.

6. What are the purposes and the types of use for the data collected?

We do not sell, rent or transfer your personal data to third parties outside of the ASD Group without your prior and express consent.

We undertake to communicate your data only to third parties that have a need to know it and particularly:

  • To service providers and subcontractors (e.g.: website host, etc.);
  • To the administrations responsible for receiving social security and tax declarations from the customer who has contractually mandated us to make them;
  • To the responsible authorities in case of dispute, for the defence of our rights;

We inform you that the data collected is processed to allow processing to be carried out in relation to:

  • Contractual management (the management of contracts and customer accounts, orders and their deliveries, invoicing and debt recovery.); 
  • Customer relationship management (monitoring the customer relationship such as by performing satisfaction surveys, making new commercial offers to customers.);

7. Where is the collected data sent?

The collected data may be sent to all companies within the ASD Group, sometimes based outside of the European Union.

If use is made of subcontractors, the ASD Group undertakes to take the measures required to attempt to choose subcontractors that will comply with and guarantee an adequate level of protection for your data.

8. How do we ensure the security and confidentiality of your personal data?

The ASD Group uses its best endeavours to take all technical and organisational measures to ensure the protection, confidentiality and security of your personal data which has been sent by any internet user, in compliance with applicable legal provisions.

9. For how long is your data retained?

Your personal data is retained for a length of time in keeping with the purposes of the processing and in accordance with applicable legislation and regulations.
