9. Users' rights to Personal Data
It is possible for the User, by simple written request, to access the Personal Data concerning him or her, to request their modification or rectification, or to demand that they no longer appear in the Company's database.
Under the right of access, the User is entitled, in accordance with Article 15 of the RGPD, to question the Company with a view to obtaining: (i) communication of the Personal Data concerning him or her in an accessible form; (ii) confirmation that his or her Personal Data is or is no longer being processed; (ii) communication of the purposes of the processing, the categories of Personal Data processed and the recipients to whom his or her Personal Data is communicated; and (iv) the period of retention of his or her Personal Data or the criteria used to determine this period.
In accordance with Article 16 of the RGPD, the right of rectification gives the User the right to require the Company to rectify, complete or update his Personal Data where it is inaccurate, incomplete, equivocal or out of date.
Under the conditions set out in Article 17 of the RGPD, the User has a right to erasure of his Personal Data, enabling him to request the Company to erase his Personal Data as soon as possible, in particular when it is no longer necessary with regard to the purposes for which it is collected.
The User also has the right to limit the processing of his Personal Data in the cases listed in Article 18 of the RGPD. He may thus request that his Personal Data be kept solely for the purposes of:
- Verifying the accuracy of the Personal Data he/she disputes ;
- To serve him in the context of establishing, exercising or defending his legal rights and this despite the fact that the Company no longer has any use for it ;
- Verify whether the legitimate reasons pursued by the Company prevail over his own in the event that he objects to processing based on the Company's legitimate interest;
- Fulfill his request to limit the use of his data, rather than to erase it, in the event that the processing of his data is unlawful.
The User has the right to withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not call into question the lawfulness of processing already carried out, based on consent given prior to such withdrawal.
In the circumstances provided for in Article 20 of the RGPD, the User has a right to the portability of his Personal Data, enabling him to recover from the Company the Personal Data he has provided, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, for the purposes of transmitting it to another data controller.
In accordance with Article 21 of the RGPD, the User has the right to object, at any time, to the processing of his/her Personal Data for commercial prospecting purposes.
In accordance with Article 85 of Law 78-17 of January 6, 1978 on Data Processing, Data Files and Individual Liberties, the User has the possibility of defining particular directives relating to the retention, deletion and communication of his post-mortem Personal Data. These specific directives will only concern processing carried out by the Company and will be limited to this scope.
In order to exercise their rights of access, rectification, deletion, limitation, withdrawal of consent, portability and opposition referred to above, Users simply need to send their request:
- By e-mail to: customerservice@goutalparis.com; and/or
- By post to the following address CEVA LOGISTICS, Parc Logistique du Pont de Normandie P.L.P.N. 2, Port 5051 - BP 112, 76051 Le Havre, France.
The Company will provide the person exercising one of these rights with information on the measures taken, as soon as possible and in any event within one (1) month of receipt of the request. This period may be extended by two (2) months, depending on the complexity and number of requests. The Company may verify the person's identity before acting on the request.
If the Company does not act on the request, it will inform the person as soon as possible, and at the latest within one (1) month of receipt of the request, of the reasons for its inaction and of the possibility of lodging a complaint with a supervisory authority and of taking legal action.
These rights are exercised free of charge. However, in the event of a manifestly unfounded or excessive request, the Company reserves the right to: (i) demand payment of a fee to cover administrative costs; or (ii) refuse to comply with such requests.
10. Recourse in the event of violation of Personal Data
In the event of a breach of its Personal Data likely to give rise to a risk to its rights and freedoms, the Company will notify the CNIL of the breach as soon as possible, and, if possible, no later than seventy-two (72) hours after becoming aware of it. The Company will also inform the User, as soon as possible in accordance with the provisions of Article 34 of the RGPD.
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, Users who consider that the processing of their Personal Data constitutes a breach of the provisions of the legislation in force may lodge a complaint with a competent supervisory authority such as the Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés (CNIL).
