Focus on profiling to customise our content :
We may customise the display of content on our website, send you newsletters or push notifications to your mobile phone tailored to your interests.
We only perform this customisation based on the information we have collected directly from you during your purchases (and only this information), and based on your browsing behaviour on our website or our mobile application, once you have accepted cookies.
This information also allows us to better tailor our advertising campaigns on third-party sites (e.g. social networks) to your areas of interest.
The data used for this profiling is based on:
- A history of up to 5 years of your customer account details;
- A browsing history of up to 12 months on our website and/or mobile application.
1. Are there any specific measures for children ?
Although the family dimension of our activities is at the heart of our concerns, we do not process any data specifically relating to children.
When our services are being used by persons under the age of 13, we recommend that they be accompanied by an adult. The consent of parents or legal guardians may be obtained when their personal data are collected, if necessary.
2. Where are your data stored ?
All your personal data is stored exclusively on servers in the European Union or in countries offering an "adequate" level of protection (e.g. the United Kingdom, Switzerland).
Although hosted in the European Union, this data may be accessible from third countries when we use technical service providers (e.g. AWS, Adobe, Microsoft, Google) located abroad (e.g. United Kingdom, United States, Israel). Access from these countries is considered data transfer but is necessary for the proper operation and maintenance of the IT tools they provide. These service providers have real expertise that justifies their involvement.
We make every effort with these service providers to ensure that your data are protected in accordance with European regulations. These service providers only act within the framework of our instructions. Contracts are systematically signed with the latter, and transfers of personal data are governed by enhanced contractual clauses specifically designed for this purpose (standard contractual clauses - SCCs - published by the European Commission) where the laws of the country in question do not offer protection equivalent to the GDPR (so-called “adequate” countries). If necessary, additional technical or legal measures are put in place.
3. How are your data secured ?
The security of your personal data is a central concern for the companies in the Compagnie des Alpes group, which pool their resources to ensure that you benefit from an appropriate level of security that is up to date with the state of the art.
In order to preserve the confidentiality and security of your personal data, and notably to protect them against unlawful or accidental destruction, accidental loss or alteration, or unauthorised disclosure or access, the Compagnie des Alpes Group takes appropriate technical and organisational measures, and imposes the same level of requirements on its subcontractors. These measures are adapted according to the sensitivity of the data processed and the risk level.
The Compagnie Group has put in place procedures to detect, analyse, and monitor security incidents and any suspected breach of your personal data, and to be able to block access to the data at any time. Procedures for managing personal authorisations have also been put in place to ensure that access to data is as restricted as possible.
Despite our efforts, vulnerabilities may still be present in our systems. If you think that you have detected a vulnerability, please contact us using this form , while respecting the principles described there.
4. What are your rights over your data ?
You have a number of rights in relation to your personal data held by us:
- The right to object: You no longer wish to receive our commercial communications, object to a decision related to your profiling, or withdraw consent
- The right to rectify your data: change of home or e-mail address? Let us know by keeping your details up to date!!
- The right to access your data: you may request a copy of all your personal data held by us, in an understandable format.
- The right to erase your data: You wish to delete your entire customer account and erase all of your personal data in our possession. We will comply with your request, with the exception of accounting and tax records relating to your transactions, as well as those required for the creation of our evidence files (in the event of any legal proceedings), which must be retained.
- The right to freeze the use of your data: if you are faced with a litigious situation and wish to prevent the deletion of your data, your data will be retained without being used.
- The right to take your data: You wish to recover some of your data. You are then free to store them elsewhere or to transfer them easily from one system to another, so that they can be reused for other purposes.
You will find all of our contact details below for the exercise of these rights.
