ECO-DOMAINE LA FONTAINE is responsible for the personal data collected on its website and/or stored in its database.

Our Data Protection Officer (DPO), Stéphane BERTRAND, can be contacted via this form.

The purpose of this privacy policy is to describe the measures implemented by ECO-DOMAINE LA FONTAINE to comply with the regulation and protect the privacy of individuals whose data is processed.

1. How is your data collected?

1.1 Data Collection Through Online Forms

Accessing, using, downloading, purchasing, or subscribing to certain services or products involves the collection of personal data regarding the prospective customer, customer, or user. When filling out forms, individuals provide information about themselves. These forms always specify:

the name of the data controller,
the purposes associated with the data collection,
if the collection of such information is necessary for subscribing to the relevant service or purchasing the intended product,
any other intended uses and the legal basis for the data collection,
a reference to the relevant sections of this policy regarding how individuals may exercise their rights, the DPO’s contact information, the rules regarding data retention periods, the procedures for filing a complaint with the supervisory authority, etc.

1.2 Data Collection Through Cookies

The term “cookies” is to be understood in a broad sense and refers to all trackers that are placed and/or read when visiting a website, reading an email, or installing or using software or a mobile app.

Cookies are used, among other things, to simplify navigation on websites (automatic authentication, personalization of certain information) or to personalize the advertisements that appear as users browse.

Some cookies are set directly by ECO-DOMAINE LA FONTAINE when you browse its website. Website users may opt out of the use of these cookies at any time by adjusting their browser settings.

In accordance with applicable legal provisions, before placing or reading a cookie on a user’s computer, ECO-DOMAINE LA FONTAINE:

informs website users about the purpose of cookies,
obtains their consent when required,
tells users how to opt out.

Cookies that are strictly necessary to provide a service expressly requested by the user do not require prior consent. All other cookies require prior notification and a request for consent.

1.3 Fundraising by Phone

ECO-DOMAINE LA FONTAINE may collect personal data by telephone as part of its customer relations. Whenever possible, telephone contact is confirmed by email, allowing the data subject to keep a written record of the conversation and to exercise their rights at any time.

1.4 Indirect Collection

ECO-DOMAINE LA FONTAINE may obtain personal data from third parties (e.g., corporate clubs, networks, customers). In such cases, ECO-DOMAINE LA FONTAINE:

establishes contact with that third party in accordance with the provisions of the regulation,
notifies individuals of the transfer of their data under the conditions set forth in the regulation,
specifies the source of the data in its files to ensure traceability,
informs the individuals concerned about how to exercise their rights.

2. What personal data do we collect?

In accordance with applicable law, ECO-DOMAINE LA FONTAINE adheres to the principle of data minimization and collects only the data strictly necessary to achieve the intended purpose.

The personal data that may be requested, depending on the nature of the services or products provided, are as follows:

your first and last name,
your email and mailing addresses,
your position,
your landline and cell phone numbers.

We collect personal data directly from the information you provide when you fill out an online form or register on our website, by phone, or by email.

Information related to your use of the website may also be collected via cookies (such as your IP address, browser type, and operating system, as well as the pages and information you view while using our website).

3. On what legal grounds do we collect your data?

ECO-DOMAINE LA FONTAINE collects personal data based on:

3.1 Consent of the Data Subject

Note: In France, the CNIL recognizes two exceptions to the requirement for prior consent regarding electronic marketing:

In business-to-business (B2B) communications: the prior consent of the data subject is not required for commercial communications sent to a work email address, provided that such communications are related to the data subject’s profession.
Prior consent is also not required for any solicitation sent to a data subject regarding services or products similar to those the data subject has already purchased from the same organization.

3.2 Performance of Obligations Under a Contract

The collection of personal data from our customers and users is necessary to fulfill the terms of the contract and to ensure the provision of the service subscribed to or the product purchased by the individual concerned.

3.3 The legitimate interest of the data controller

Under certain circumstances, the very nature of the service provided by ECO-DOMAINE LA FONTAINE requires the collection of personal data from its customers and users and the transfer of this information to designated third parties (e.g., subcontractors). Such processing, which is based on the legitimate interests of the data controller, is considered a reasonable expectation on the part of the data subject.

3.4 A legal obligation requiring processing

The regulatory framework governing a business activity may require certain data processing and transfers; for example, for billing products or services, training activities (attendance sheets), etc.

4. Why do we collect personal data?

The purpose of collecting personal data is as follows:

process and fulfill your orders,
manage your account,
to provide you with information about the products and services you are looking for or that we believe may be useful to you,
invite you to events that might interest you.

You have the right to object to this processing if you wish by contacting the DPO using this form. Please note that if you object to this processing, it may affect our ability to carry out the tasks mentioned above, which are performed in your best interest.

We may process your personal data for up to 2 years from the date of your last interaction with us.

5. How do we protect your data, and how long do we keep it?

ECO-DOMAINE LA FONTAINE takes all necessary precautions to ensure the security and confidentiality of personal data, and in particular to prevent it from being distorted, damaged, or accessed by unauthorized third parties.

The recommendations of the National Commission on Information Technology and Civil Liberties are taken into account in ECO-DOMAINE LA FONTAINE's security management.

We will not retain your personal data for longer than is necessary for the purpose for which it was provided. In accordance with the law, we will retain data related to your account and transactions for 3 years from the end of our contract.

Prospect data is deleted after two years if there has been no response to any solicitation.

Candidates' resumes are retained for a period of 2 years.

No personal information about the website user is published without the user’s knowledge, exchanged, transferred, assigned, or sold in any form to third parties. Only in the event of a takeover of ECO-DOMAINE LA FONTAINE and its rights would the transmission of such information to the potential acquirer be permitted; the acquirer would, in turn, be bound by the same obligation to protect and modify the data with respect to the website user.

6. Which third parties have access to the personal data collected?

ECO-DOMAINE LA FONTAINE may transfer the personal data it collects to its service providers, subcontractors, and suppliers in order to have them perform services on its behalf.

In the event that personal data is transferred to a third party for the purpose of subcontracting, ECO-DOMAINE LA FONTAINE complies with the requirements set forth in applicable law, including notifying the data subjects of such a transfer.

ECO-DOMAINE LA FONTAINE ensures that appropriate contractual provisions between it and the relevant third party guarantee that the latter:

will use personal data only for the specified purpose and in accordance with the objectives set forth in this policy,
and will have taken appropriate security measures to prevent unauthorized or unlawful processing of personal data, as well as accidental loss, destruction, or damage to such personal data.

7. How can you exercise your data rights?

All requests must be submitted to the DPO using this form for:

to be informed about how your personal data is processed,
change your privacy settings at any time—for example, settings related to direct marketing—and request that your personal data be processed or not,
exercise your rights of access, objection, correction, and deletion,
exercise your right to be forgotten,
request data portability.

The General Data Protection Regulation gives you the right to file a complaint with the Data Protection Commissioner (CNIL).

8. Is data transferred outside the EU?

If ECO-DOMAINE LA FONTAINE transfers personal data to a third party located outside the European Union, measures are taken to ensure that such data will be subject to the same level of protection as that required by the European Union with regard to data protection.

As such, ECO-DOMAINE LA FONTAINE will ensure that data processing is carried out in accordance with this policy and is governed by the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses, which guarantee an adequate level of protection for individuals’ privacy and fundamental rights.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy
