2. Personal data we collect
We may collect personal data when you:
• Submit an enquiry through our contact form;
• Contact us directly by email;
• Visit or interact with this website.
The information collected through the contact form may include your name, company name, business email address, message and any other information you voluntarily provide.
Technical and website-use information may include your IP address, browser type, device type, approximate location, pages visited, session information and cookie-consent choices.
Please do not submit confidential technical information, patent-sensitive information or trade secrets through the public contact form. Confidential information should only be exchanged after appropriate confidentiality arrangements have been agreed.
3. Why we use your data
We use personal data to:
• Respond to enquiries and requests for information;
• Evaluate potential industrial, commercial or strategic discussions;
• Arrange meetings and continue professional communications;
• Operate, protect and secure the website;
• Understand how visitors use the website and improve its performance;
• Comply with legal obligations and establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
4. Legal bases
Depending on the circumstances, we process personal data on one or more of the following legal bases:
• Our legitimate interest in responding to professional enquiries, presenting our innovation and developing legitimate business relationships;
• Taking steps at your request before entering into a possible contractual relationship;
• Your consent, particularly for non-essential analytics cookies;
• Compliance with legal obligations;
• Our legitimate interest in protecting the website, company and legal rights.
You may withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect processing that occurred before consent was withdrawn.
5. Wix Analytics and cookies
This website is created and hosted using Wix.
We use Wix Analytics to understand general website activity, such as visitor numbers, pages viewed and website interactions. We do not currently use Google Analytics.
The website may use:
• Essential cookies required for security and basic website operation;
• Functional cookies that remember visitor choices;
• Analytics cookies used to understand website performance.
Where consent is legally required, non-essential cookies are used only after the visitor has accepted them through the cookie banner. Visitors may refuse or change their cookie choices without preventing access to the essential parts of the website.
6. Who receives your data
Personal data is accessible only where necessary to:
• Authorised representatives of CATEGORY 1;
• Wix and its authorised service providers providing website hosting, forms, security and analytics services;
• Professional advisers where necessary, such as legal or accounting advisers;
• Public authorities where disclosure is legally required.
CATEGORY 1 does not sell visitors’ personal data.
7. International data transfers
Because Wix operates internationally, personal data may be stored or processed in the European Economic Area, Israel, the United States or other jurisdictions.
Where personal data is transferred outside the European Economic Area, appropriate safeguards are used where required, such as adequacy decisions or Standard Contractual Clauses.
8. How long we retain data
Contact-form and professional-enquiry information may be retained for up to three years from the date it is received or from the last meaningful contact from the person concerned.
Information may be retained longer where:
• A contractual or professional relationship develops;
• Retention is required by law;
• It is necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
Analytics and technical information is retained according to the applicable Wix settings and only for as long as necessary for website operation, security and statistical analysis.
9. Your data-protection rights
Subject to applicable law, you may request:
• Access to your personal data;
• Correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;
• Deletion of your personal data;
• Restriction of processing;
• Objection to processing based on legitimate interests;
• Portability of data where applicable;
• Withdrawal of consent at any time.
To exercise these rights, contact:
You may be asked to provide information necessary to confirm your identity. Requests will normally be answered within one month.
You also have the right to submit a complaint to the French data-protection authority:
Commission nationale de l’informatique et des libertés — CNIL.
10. Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, loss or destruction.
However, no internet transmission or electronic-storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
11. Children
This website is intended for professionals and organisations. It is not designed to collect personal data from children.
