You may contact us at any time at the addresses listed in the "How to contact us" section below to exercise your rights regarding personal data under the conditions set forth in the applicable regulations. You must indicate which right you wish to exercise and provide all the necessary details so that we can respond to your request.
These rights are exercised under the conditions set forth in the applicable regulations.
The right of access means that you can ask us at any time to tell you whether we are processing personal data about you and, if so, to tell you what personal data is involved and the characteristics of the processing operation(s) carried out.
The right to rectification means that you can ask us to correct your personal data when it is inaccurate. You can also request that your personal data, when incomplete, be completed to the extent that this is relevant to the purpose of the processing in question.
The right to erasure means that you can request the erasure of your personal data, particularly when:
Their retention is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected;
Your personal data is processed on the basis of your consent, you wish to withdraw this consent, and there is no other legal basis that could justify the processing;
You have objected to the processing of your personal data and therefore wish to have it deleted;
Your personal data has been processed unlawfully;
Your personal data must be erased to comply with a legal obligation that is provided for either by European Union law or by French law.

When we no longer need your personal data for processing purposes but you still need it to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims;
When you have objected to the processing of your personal data and you wish to restrict processing for the period during which we verify whether the legitimate grounds you have invoked are justified.
Restriction of processing means that the processing of your personal data will then only involve the storage of your corresponding personal data. We will then no longer perform any other operations on the personal data in question.
The right to object means that you can object to the processing of your personal data when such processing is based on the pursuit of the legitimate interests of Perles Africaines Cie.
