If you provide someone else’s personal data, you must ensure that you are entitled to disclose that data and that we may collect, use and disclose that data for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy without us having to take any further steps required by data protection legislation.

4. Why we collect your personal data and how we use it

We collect and use your personal data based on one or several of the following legal bases:

• we have a legitimate interest in processing and this legitimate interest is not overruled by your interests, basic rights or freedom (for example to prevent fraud via your means of payment);

Depending on the context, we may use your personal data to:

5. Communications (newsletters, invitations etc.)

With your prior express consent (generally obtained by ticking a specific box on a form), Lancier you send you information pertaining to offers, services, products and events.

We count on your consent to process the personal data you supply for this purpose. Consequently, if you no longer wish to receive said information, you may retract your consent at all times (see below “Your rights regarding your personal data”).

We may ask you to confirm or update your communication preferences if you ask us to provide other products and/or services in the future, or in the event of modifications in legislation, regulations or our corporate structure.

6. Duration of record-keeping regarding your personal data

Your personal data is kept on filefor as long as necessary given the purposes for which it was collected, to comply with legal and regulatory obligations and to establish, exercise or defend legal rights.

In order to determine the most appropriate record-keeping times for your personal data, we have specifically factored in the quantity, nature and degree of sensitivity of your personal data, the reasons for collecting your personal data, the service you deserve and expect from us and applicable legal requirements. For example:

• Prospects (potential clients): your data is kept on file for three years starting on the date of your latest interaction with us, then deleted or filed in compliance with legal record-keeping obligations;
• Clients: your data is kept on file throughout the duration of our business relationship and for ten years, then deleted or filed in compliance with legal record-keeping obligations;
• Cookies used on digital platforms: they are stored for up to 13 months starting from the date they were installed on your device.

7. How we disclose and transfer your personal data

We may disclose your personal data only to the parties designated below and for the following reasons:

• We disclose your personal data to Lancier employees who need to access your personal data and have been duly authorised to process them for the above mentioned purposes and have undertaken to maintain confidentiality.
• We may be required to disclose your personal data to Lancier departments in charge of customer relations, retail sales, e-commerce, communication, legal matters, finance, internal audits, IT management and security, for the purposes mentioned in this Confidentiality Policy. It may be a matter of supplying products and services you have ordered, improve available services and, with your consent, send you marketing literature pertaining to offers, services, products and events (for this purpose, you may revoke your consent at all times. Please see the “Your rights regarding your personal data” section below). As part of the fight against fraud via your means of payment, your personal data is communicated to Lancier in order to process your order and fight against attempts at fraud via online means of payment. In the context of our legitimate interest in the fight against fraud via means of payment, Lancier may, as the entity responsible for processing data, transmit your financial data to an external service provider with a fraud detection tool in order to authenticate a payment. Said service provider is bound by an obligation to preserve confidentiality.
• We may also be required to communicate personal data to third parties acting on behalf of Lancier and approved by Lancier. This processing is covered by our prior instructions mentioned in a binding contract which complies with the requirements of applicable legislation. Said disclosure happens for various motifs, in particular:

• IT development and assistance;
• Hosting and conducting market and economic research and marketing and advertising campaigns;
• Checking your information, authenticating payments and processing orders and payments to third parties who provide credit reports, payment services or execution of orders;
• Delivery services etc.

These service providers agree to comply with confidentiality and are not authorised to use your personal data for any other purpose. We also require them to apply appropriate security measures to protect your personal data.

Some of these service providers are located outside your country, and to be precise outside the EU. We have taken measures to ensure that all personal data is protected adequately and transferred legally, including outside the EU. When we transfer personal data outside the EU to a country which has not been designated by the European Commission as having sufficient protection for personal data, the transfers are governed by an agreement stipulating the obligations required by the EU for the transfer of personal data outside the EU, in particular standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission, or as part of other appropriate guarantees.

To obtain a description of the appropriate protective measures, you may send us your request using the information in the “How to contact us” section below.

• We may be required by compulsory provisions of applicable legislation or as part of legal proceedings or any other legal request, to disclose your personal data to the authorities or third parties.
• We may also disclose or process your personal data in compliance with applicable legislation to defend our legitimate interests (for example as part of civil or criminal proceedings). We may for example disclose said personal data if necessary to identify, contact or take legal action against a physical person or legal entity who has allegedly failed to comply with our General Terms & Conditions of Sale and Use, or who may disturb other users of our digital platforms or cause them injury.
• In the event that Lancier, or all or part of Lancier’ assets, is acquired by a third party, your personal data may be included in the assets transferred.

8. How we protect your personal data

All your personal data is strictly confidential and shall not be accessible except when necessary, only by duly-authorised Lancier staff and the independent service providers acting on our behalf as part of appropriate technical security and organisational measures.

We have also set up procedures to process all alleged violations of data security. We will inform you, as well as all competent supervisory authorities, in the event of alleged violations of data security, when required by legislation.

We also require that people we send your personal data to comply with all preceding clauses. Unfortunately, data transmission over Internet is not fully secure. We thus cannot guarantee the security of your personal data that you send us over Internet. Said transmission is conducted at your own risk. You hereby acknowledge and agree that we decline all liability in the event of non-authorised use, distribution, damage or destruction of your data, unless legislation requires us to assume such liability. Once we have received your personal data, we shall apply the above-mentioned security measures.

9.Your rights regarding your personal data

• Your right of access: the right to receive a copy of your personal data.
• Your right of rectification: the right to ask us to rectify any errors in your data or to complete it.
• Your right to be forgotten: the right to ask us to delete your personal data, in certain situations.

Your right to oppose the processing: the right of opposition:
