GDPR NOTICE

Effective as of 31st of August 2022

 

Our website is directed mainly at United States of America, Australian, South African and Canadian residents. However, this GDPR notice (“Notice”) may apply to you if you are a European Union citizen, or if the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) otherwise applies to your data as processed by us. This Notice is a supplement to the  Privacy Policy for the gm-media.digital website (“Privacy Policy”), as provided by GM Media S.A.S. (“GM Media”). Capitalized terms not defined in this Notice shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Privacy Policy. This Notice may be modified at any time, and the date of the most recent modifications will appear on this page. In the event of any conflict between the Privacy Policy and this Notice, the terms of this Notice will prevail with respect to data that is subject to the GDPR.

If the GDPR applies to your data as processed by us, you have the following rights:

  1. to request accessto your PI. This enables you to receive a copy of the PI we hold about you and our full list of third parties who process your data, and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
  2. to request confirmationas to whether or not your PI is being processed.
  3. to request the correction of your PI that you consider to be inaccurate. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected. However, we may need to verify your identity and the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
  4. to request erasure of your PI. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove PI, for example: i) where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it; ii) where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below); iii) where we may have processed your information unlawfully; iv) where we are required to erase your PI to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons and our need to keep appropriate archives for our business operations. These reasons will be notified to you at the time of your request.
  5. to object to processing of your PI. This enables you to object to the processing of your PI if you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. In some cases, we may have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which can override your right to object.
  6. to request restriction of processing of your PI. This gives you the option to ask us to suspend the processing of your PI in the following scenarios: i) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; ii) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; iii) where you need us to hold the data, even if we no longer require it e.g. to establish or defend legal claims; or iv) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate ground to use it.
  7. to request transfer of your PI. If you request us to do so, we will provide to you, or a third party of your choice, your PI in a commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use, or where we have used the information to perform a contract with you.
  8. to withdraw consent to the processing of your data. If you request us to do so, we will no longer process your data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, you may not be able to make full use of our Website.
  9. to not have a decision made about you based solely on automated processing.

If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above or request details about the specific legal basis we are relying on to process your PI, please email us at using the Subject Access Request Form.

We will respond to you within 30 days of receipt of your request. Occasionally it may take us longer than 30 days if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your PI (or to exercise your other legal rights). This is a security measure to ensure that your PI is not disclosed to any person who does not have the right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information, in relation to your request, to speed up our response.

You will not have to pay a fee to access your PI (or to exercise any of your other legal rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee (or refuse to comply) if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive.

You have the right to make a complaint at any time to the “Commission Nationale Informatique & Libertés” (“CNIL”), the French supervisory authority for data protection issues ( www.cnil.fr/en/home ). We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the CNIL determine the appropriate retention period for PI, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the PI, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your PI, the purposes for which we process your PI and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

In some circumstances we may anonymize your PI (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for compliance, governance, legal and/or regulatory purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.
