Section VII- What are your rights regarding you personal data and how to exercice them ?
Introduction
You have rights concerning the use of your personal data. These rights vary depending on the lawful basis used to justify the processing of your personal data and certain data processing purposes.
When you exercise a right (e.g. the right of access, deletion, rectification, etc.), we may require you to attach a document to prove your identity if we have any reasonable doubt about it, for example to avoid identity theft and protect you against the risk of fraud.
Your rights may be exercised free of charge, except where the requests are repetitive or excessive, in which case we are entitled to charge a reasonable fee based on our administrative costs.
Right to be informed about the use of your personal data.
You have the right to receive clear information about the use of your personal data and the exercise of your rights.
Right of access and obtain a copy of your personal data.
You may obtain a copy of your personal data, as well as the following information:
whether or not we process your personal data and which data; why your personal data is processed;
the recipients it is disclosed to, and how we obtained your personal data; the data retention period or the criteria that determines this period.
This right is subject to exceptions and respecting the rights and freedoms of third parties (for example: we cannot provide you with information on other people).
You may make your request through the various communication channels we provide.
Right to rectification of your personal data.
Where your personal data is incomplete, inaccurate or simply no longer up to date, you have the right to request its rectification. This right allows us to avoid processing or distributing inaccurate information about you.
Right to deletion/erasure of your personal data.
You may request the erasure of your personal data when it is no longer necessary for the purposes it was processed for. However, we may refuse to do this if we are required to continue processing your personal data, such as when we need it to meet our legal obligations or for evidentiary purposes.
Right to define directives regarding the fate of your data after your death (French residents only).
You have the right to define directives relating to the storage, erasure and communication of your personal data after your death. These directives can be general or specific. General guidelines need to be registered with a trusted third party. Specific directives need to be sent directly to us.
Right to restrict the processing of your personal data.
You have the right to request a limitation on the processing of your personal data (i.e. “blocked”, “locked”) in certain specific cases. In this case, we must refrain from carrying out any further processing whatsoever of the personal data in question, for the time necessary to exercise your right.
Unless such notification proves impossible or requires disproportionate effort, we will notify each recipient to whom the personal data has been disclosed.
Right to object to the processing of your personal data.
You have a right to object to the processing of your personal data in certain cases.
You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data when it is based on our legitimate interest. It is worth noting that this right is not a right to the outright and permanent removal of all your personal data or the account linked to you. We may refuse this request if there are legitimate and compelling reasons or if the processing of personal data is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes. This right mainly applies to the processing of your personal data for the purpose of advertising (e.g. to stop receiving canvassing, online newsletters, etc.). You have the right to object to profiling, a right which always applies when profiling is related to direct marketing.
The right not to be the subject of a decision based entirely on automated processing, including profiling.
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based entirely on automated processing, including profiling, which has a legal impact on you or significantly affects you. In this case, you have the right:
to be informed that an entirely automated decision has been taken against you; to request to be informed of the logic and criteria used to make the decision; to challenge the decision and express your point of view; to request human intervention to review the decision.
Profiling is permitted, however, if you have given your consent or if it is necessary for the performance of a contract, the fulfilment of a legal obligation, to protect your vital interest, the public interest, the exercise of public authority or the legitimate interest of the data controller or a third party. You may always refuse profiling for prospecting purposes.
Right to withdraw your consent at any time.
When the processing of your personal data is based on your consent, you may withdraw your consent to the processing of your data by ourselves or our processors at any time.
You may make your request through the various communication channels we provide. You may also change your mind through the same channels.
Right to data portability.
When we process your personal data via automated processes and on the basis of your consent or the existence of a contract, you have the right to receive the data you have provided to us free of charge (in a structured, commonly used and machinereadable format) and, as applicable, to transfer it to another data controller.
However, this right to data portability is not general. It only concerns data collected with your consent or in the context of a contract. The right to portability concerns information that you have actively and knowingly provided (e.g. by completing an online registration form) but also data collected through the use of our service or product. However, it does not apply to data derived or inferred from the information you have provided.
If it is technically impossible to directly transfer the data to another data controller, we will provide you with a copy of your personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.
Exercice of such Rights.
The aforementioned rights may be exercised by contacting SoftAtHome’s Data Protection Officer at the postal address “Délégué à la protection des données (DPO), SoftAtHome, 9-11 rue du débarcadère, 92700 Colombes – France” or at the email address dpo@softathome.com
