How personal is your data?

If we are unable to identify you with any information you may have provided, this would mean that no personal data was given.

What type of data is collected, to what end is it used, and for how long?
Overall, you can browse our websites without having to provide any personal data. You are by no means required to provide such information whilst doing so.
However, you may not be able to access certain information or services should you fail to comply upon request.
You can get touch with us and ask us any questions you may have by filling out the contact form available on our websites. The fields marked with the “*” symbol are mandatory and must be filled out so that we can respond accordingly. This mandatory data is collected and used so that we can respond to you and is conserved during the necessary time it takes to respond.
For each questionnaire, we would need your consent to use your personal data to send regular newsletters, news updates and sales offers from GEST ON LINE SAS. For this purpose, our Sales and Marketing teams would conserve your data for up to 3 years after your last contact with us.
An Administrator’s account is needed to access the online store. Upon creating your account, it is important to make sure that you have filled in all the necessary fields marked with the “*” symbol. All details given shall be retained for the necessary amount of time needed for the sales relationship. They will then be conserved for exactly 5 years following the end of the sales relationship.
Who are the recipients of my personal data?
GEST ON LINE and its group partners are the sole recipients of your personal data. User’s personal data is collected and processed by our Marketing, Sales and Administrative teams, as well as members of their hierarchy. Your information, be it individual or aggregated, will never be sent off to a third party.
GEST ON LINE SAS will never sell, nor promote any personal data belonging to users or visitors of our websites.
In cases where GEST ON LINE SAS would be required to send any personal data to third party data handlers for site use statistical studies in order to optimise our websites, your data will be systematically anonymised.
How does GEST ON LINE SAS manage personal data security?
The company strives to protect its user’s personal data in an adequate and appropriate manner, and has taken the necessary precautions to preserve data protection and privacy, notably stopping data from being deformed, damaged or shared by unauthorised personnel.
