Privacy policy

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a European regulation that came into force on May 25, 2018. It governs the processing of personal data consistently across all member states of the European Union.

The GDPR builds upon the French Data Protection Act of 1978, which established rules governing the collection and use of personal data in France.

ACCREDITAX may need to collect certain personal data, particularly to enable users to book an appointment. Below you will find answers to some of the questions you may have regarding the processing of your personal data.

Data Controller

The controller responsible for processing personal data is ACCREDITAX, within the meaning of the French Data Protection Act and, since May 25, 2018, Regulation (EU) 2016/679 on the protection of personal data.

Collection and Use of Your Personal Data

In accordance with French Data Protection Act No. 78-17 of January 6, 1978, as amended, and the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679, users are informed that ACCREDITAX may process certain personal data. In this respect, ACCREDITAX undertakes to process only the data that is strictly necessary for the intended purposes, particularly for recruitment purposes and for communicating with users through the contact forms they complete.

In any event, ACCREDITAX collects personal information relating to users only for the purposes of providing certain services available on its website and managing its relationship and contractual obligations with you. Users knowingly provide this information, particularly when entering it themselves. Users of the website https://accreditax.legal are informed whether providing such information is mandatory or optional.

Right to Object to Telephone Marketing

ACCREDITAX may collect users’ telephone numbers when they submit an enquiry through the contact form.
In accordance with Article L223-2 of the French Consumer Code, users are informed that they may register free of charge on the national telephone marketing opt-out list known as BLOCTEL, available at  http://www.bloctel.gouv.fr/.

Bloctel is the official French telephone marketing opt-out register on which consumers may register free of charge in order to avoid receiving unsolicited sales calls from professionals with whom they have no existing contractual relationship, in accordance with French Law No. 2014-344 of March 17, 2014 relating to consumer protection.

The law specifies that professionals, whether acting directly or through third parties on their behalf, are prohibited from contacting consumers registered on this list, except in the cases expressly provided for by law. In particular, you may still receive calls in the following situations:

• From businesses with which you currently have an active contract.
• For subscription offers relating to newspapers, magazines, or periodicals.
• For purposes unrelated to the sale of goods or services, such as:
  – Calls from public authorities
  – Calls from market research and opinion polling organizations
  – Calls from non-profit organizations.
• If you have freely and unambiguously provided your telephone number for the purpose of being contacted.

Data Retention Period

In accordance with European regulations, the personal data collected is retained for a period of three (3) years, corresponding to the applicable limitation period for contractual civil liability.
