3/ HOW LONG IS MY PERSONAL DATA STORED? 

We store this Personal Data only for as long as is necessary for the purpose for which we process it and in any event for the period necessary to comply with a legal or regulatory requirement.

Personal data used to send you information

Your Personal Data will be kept for as long as your subscription is live. You can bring this to an end at any time by unsubscribing, using the link in the email sending you necessary documentation. In any event, if you do not make contact for three years, your Personal Data will be erased.

Personal data used to send marketing offers

Your Personal Data will be kept for as long as you agree to receive our marketing offers. You can refuse these at any time by unsubscribing, using the link in the email sending you a commercial offer. In any event, if you do not make contact for three years, your Personal Data will be erased. 

Personal Data used in connection with a commercial, contractual or investment relationship 

We store this Personal Data only for as long as is necessary for the purpose for which we process them, that is throughout our contractual relationship, and in any event for the period necessary to comply with a legal or regulatory requirement.

When the processing of your Personal Data involves a transfer to third countries outside the European Union/EEA, the transfer is to countries listed by the European Commission as providing sufficient protection for data and/or is covered by appropriate guarantees based on standard contract clauses published by the European Commission and/or recognised certification.

In this case, we put in place a precise and strict policy that complies with the applicable European regulations. In addition, adequate Security Measures are put in place to ensure the protection of personal data being transferred out of the European Union.

The Group’s companies 

We may share your Personal Data with companies in the Group. For further information on the companies in the Group, please go to https://www.la-francaise.com/en/regulatory-information.

Service Providers 

As part of the conduct of our business, we may transfer your Personal Data to service providers outside the Group who act as sub-contractors. These service providers use Personal Data with a view to allowing us to provide the Products and Services, to provide access to the Website or to assist us in the framework of business management. 

For instance, these service providers may be IT partners, logistical and marketing partners, our host or service providers who assist us in data management, distribution of emails, analysis of information but also property managers, asset administrators, real-estate agencies, banks, investment advisors, tax advisors, auditors, lawyers or other external professional advisors.

We disclose to our service providers only the Personal Data they need to provide their services and we work with them to ensure that your Personal Data are respected and protected.

We may also transfer your Personal Data to companies for which we deliver services but only in order to fulfil our contractual obligations to them and in compliance with relevant legislation.

We never disclose any personal Data to these companies for their own marketing or commercial needs. However, we may disclose your Personal Data to our commercial partners only in order to provide you with our Products and Services or other products and services which may be of interest to you.

Legal Obligations

We may need to disclose personal data in response to a request from a regulatory authority, such as the tax authorities or CNIL (the French data protection authority), etc., and/or a court (in response to a judgement, a court order or injunction) on request or if the law requires us to do so, or in order to protect our interests, our property and/or our security and/or those of a third party. 

We may also share Personal Data with companies assisting in the fight against fraud and investigating fraud.

We may also disclose your Personal Data as part of the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing, with the implementation of monitoring of contracts and/or transactions which could lead to the drawing up of a suspicious activity report or the freezing of assets.

Others 

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Privacy and Cookies Policy or with your prior permission, we will not sell, market or lend Personal Data to other companies in the normal course of business.

However, in the event of any restructuring of the Group’s companies (acquisition, merger or partial transfer of assets or other activity of this sort) your Personal Data may be disclosed to another company, but the disclosure will then be subject to the Privacy and Cookies Policy in force.
 

6/ ARE OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES INTENDED FOR CHILDREN?

8/ HOW LINKS FROM THE WEBSITE TO SITES OTHER THAN THOSE OF THE GROUP CAN AFFECT YOU? 

Each Website may include various hypertext links towards other Group Websites.

Moreover, each Website may contain hypertext links leading to other websites and applications exploited by companies who are not part of the Group. The only purpose of these links is to make browsing easier for you and to provide you with the fullest possible information. We have no control over these websites and applications. They are separate from the Group and have their own privacy policies. Consequently, the Group cannot be held liable under any circumstances, in particular in relation to the accuracy, relevance, availability or reliability of information and products and services offered on these websites, their respect for copyright, or the legality or decency of material contained on these third-party websites and applications accessible from our website. We encourage you to review the terms and conditions and privacy policies of any third-party websites and applications before using them. You should note that our Confidentiality and Cookies Policy ceases to apply when you leave our website.

Moreover, the Group is not responsible for hypertext links to its own website which may be included in third party websites, even if the Group has authorised the third-party publisher of the website to place such a link.

Finally, the Group generally prohibits anyone from placing a hyperlink to one or more pages of its website without its express prior consent.

9/ HOW CAN I REFUSE/UNSUBSCRIBE FROM EMAILS AND SMS?

If you no longer wish to receive emails from the Group informing you of events, new Products or Services, similar Products or Services, or containing other marketing communications, you only have to click on the “unsubscribe” link at the foot of every email and follow the steps set out there. 

If you no longer wish to receive SMS messages, you can text “STOP” to the number shown if this option is available. Otherwise, you should contact your usual adviser.

10/ WHEN BROWSING ON A WEBSITE, HOW CAN I ACCESS, UPDATE OR DELETE THE INFORMATION IN “MY ACCOUNT” AND/OR “MY EXTRANET”?

You can log in to “Your Account” or “My Extranet” when the Website allows you to do so. After you have logged in, you can change your profile and update your Personal Data. It is your responsibility to protect your log in details (particularly your username and passwords) and, as set out in the General Terms and Conditions, you are responsible for any activity on the Website using your log in details.

Under the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the protection of Personal Data and privacy, you have a right to access, rectify, object to or erase your Personal Data or limit its processing, as well as a right to its portability, unless provided otherwise by law. 

These rights are not absolute and each of these rights is subject to certain conditions in accordance with French law (in particular the French Data Protection Act No. 78-17 of 6 January 1978, as amended, but also any legislation applicable to the Group's banking and finance), the recommendations of the CNIL and the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 of 27 April 2016 (“GDPR”)

Similarly, if we have collected and processed your Personal Data with your consent, you have a right to withdraw your consent at any time. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the legality of processing based on the consent undertaken before it was withdrawn.
