Privacy Policy

1. Purpose of this Policy

This Privacy Policy is intended to inform users of the SIEMEL INDUSTRIE website about how their personal data may be collected, used, stored and protected when browsing the website.

SIEMEL INDUSTRIE undertakes to process personal data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the French Data Protection Act (“Informatique et Libertés”) and all other applicable provisions relating to the protection of personal data.

2. Data Controller

The data controller responsible for the processing of personal data is:

SIEMEL INDUSTRIE
Simplified joint-stock company (SAS)
51 avenue de Paris
36150 Vatan – France
SIREN: 394 406 045

For any questions concerning the protection of your personal data, you may contact the Data Protection Officer:

SIEMEL INDUSTRIE DPO
Email: contact@siemel.fr

3. Data That May Be Processed

The website does not include:

any contact form;
any recruitment form;
any newsletter;
any user account area;
any online sales or payment functionality.

SIEMEL INDUSTRIE therefore does not directly collect personal data through a form on the website.

However, certain data may be processed when you browse the website or when you voluntarily contact SIEMEL INDUSTRIE by telephone or email.

This may include, in particular:

your first and last name;
your email address;
your telephone number;
your company or organisation;
your professional position;
the content of your communications with SIEMEL INDUSTRIE;
technical data relating to your browsing, such as device type, browser, pages viewed or certain connection information;
information relating to your consent to or refusal of cookies.

SIEMEL INDUSTRIE applies the principle of data minimisation and ensures that only the data necessary for the intended purpose is processed.

4. Contact by Email or Telephone

When you contact SIEMEL INDUSTRIE directly using the contact details available on the website, the information you provide may be used in order to:

review your request;
respond to you;
follow up on your communications;
process a potential commercial or contractual enquiry.

The legal basis for the processing depends on the nature of your request:

SIEMEL INDUSTRIE’s legitimate interests, where the purpose is to respond to a general or professional enquiry;
the performance of pre-contractual measures, where your request relates to a project, service or potential business relationship.

Your data is not used to automatically subscribe you to a newsletter or to send you marketing communications without an appropriate legal basis.

Communications are retained for the period necessary to process the request. They may subsequently be archived where necessary to protect SIEMEL INDUSTRIE’s rights, manage an ongoing business relationship or comply with a legal obligation.

5. Technical Data and Website Security

When you visit the website, certain technical data may be automatically recorded by the infrastructure required for its operation.

This information may include:

IP address;
date and time of connection;
pages or resources requested;
browser used;
operating system;
information required to ensure the security and proper operation of the website.

These processing activities are carried out in particular for the following purposes:

website hosting;
infrastructure security;
detection of anomalies or attempted unauthorised access;
maintenance of the website in operational condition.

They are based on SIEMEL INDUSTRIE’s legitimate interest in ensuring the security and proper functioning of its website.

The website is hosted by OVH SAS.

6. Google Analytics

SIEMEL INDUSTRIE uses Google Analytics to measure website traffic and better understand how the website is used.

Depending on the configuration used, Google Analytics may collect information relating to:

pages visited;
duration of visits;
interactions with the website;
device and browser type;
approximate geographical location;
technical or pseudonymous identifiers relating to browsing activity.

For users located in the European Union, Google states that Google Analytics does not retain individual IP addresses: they are used to determine information such as an approximate location and are then deleted before being stored in Analytics.

Google Analytics may use cookies or other tracking technologies. SIEMEL INDUSTRIE has chosen to make their use subject to the user’s prior consent.

Accordingly, Google Analytics tracking technologies must only be activated after you have given your consent through the cookie management banner.

You may refuse these cookies without this preventing general access to the website.

The CNIL states that cookies that are not strictly necessary must be as easy to refuse as they are to accept and that consent must be capable of being withdrawn at any time.

Google Analytics allows user-level and event-level data to be retained for 2 or 14 months for standard properties. SIEMEL INDUSTRIE ensures that retention is limited to the setting strictly necessary for audience measurement.

7. Google Maps

Certain pages of the website may integrate a mapping service provided by Google Maps.

Displaying a Google Maps map may result in a connection to Google services and the transmission of technical information relating to your device and browsing activity.

To limit such transfers, Google Maps content must remain blocked until the user has given consent, or only be activated following an explicit action by the user.

Refusing Google Maps cookies or services must not prevent access to the other content available on the website.

The CNIL allows, in particular, the implementation of contextual consent before external content is activated.

8. Cookie Management

The website uses a cookie management banner enabling users to:

accept cookies subject to consent;
refuse them;
choose which categories of cookies they wish to allow;
change or withdraw their consent at a later date.

Refusing cookies must be as easily accessible as accepting them. Simply continuing to browse the website or closing the banner does not constitute valid consent.

The user’s choice may be stored so that consent is not requested on every visit. The CNIL generally considers a period of six months to be appropriate for retaining a user’s consent or refusal choice.

A means of reopening the cookie settings must remain accessible at all times, for example through a “Manage my cookies” link in the website footer.

9. Categories of Cookies Used

The website may use the following categories:

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the operation of the website or may be used, in particular, to remember the user’s cookie preferences.

They may be used without prior consent where they meet the conditions laid down by applicable regulations.

Audience Measurement Cookies

These cookies are linked to Google Analytics and are used to obtain statistics about the use of the website.

Under the configuration chosen by SIEMEL INDUSTRIE, they are only activated after consent has been given.

Cookies and External Content

Google Maps may require the use of technologies allowing Google to process certain technical data.

The service is only activated after consent where such consent is required.

10. Recipients of Personal Data

Personal data processed may be accessible, strictly to the extent necessary for the performance of their duties, by:

authorised SIEMEL INDUSTRIE personnel;
the Data Protection Officer;
technical service providers responsible for hosting, maintenance or website security;
OVH in connection with website hosting;
Google in connection with Google Analytics or Google Maps, where the user has given consent;
administrative or judicial authorities where required by law.

SIEMEL INDUSTRIE does not sell users’ personal data.

11. Transfers of Data Outside the European Union

The use of services provided by Google may result in certain data being processed in countries located outside the European Economic Area.

Google states that it relies, in particular, on applicable adequacy decisions, the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, and, where necessary, on Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.

SIEMEL INDUSTRIE ensures that the use of these services is limited to the purposes for which they are necessary and that the relevant services are subject to consent where required.

12. Data Retention Periods

SIEMEL INDUSTRIE retains personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it is processed.

The retention period varies depending on the nature of the data, including:

data resulting from email or telephone communications is retained for the time necessary to process the request and may subsequently be archived in accordance with legal obligations or where necessary to protect SIEMEL INDUSTRIE’s rights;
technical data and security logs are retained for the period necessary for the operation, maintenance and security of the website;
cookie preferences may be retained for a reasonable period so that users are not asked to make the same choice on every visit;
Google Analytics data is retained in accordance with the settings selected by SIEMEL INDUSTRIE and within the limits of the options provided by Google.

The GDPR prohibits the indefinite retention of personal data and requires a retention period, or criteria for determining such a period, to be defined.

13. Data Security

SIEMEL INDUSTRIE implements appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against:

unauthorised access;
loss;
destruction;
disclosure;
alteration;
unlawful or fraudulent use.

These measures include, in particular, securing the website, hosting environment and access to the tools used by SIEMEL INDUSTRIE.

14. Your Rights

In accordance with applicable regulations and depending on the legal basis of the processing, you may benefit from the following rights:

right of access to your personal data;
right to rectification;
right to erasure;
right to restriction of processing;
right to object;
right to data portability where applicable;
right to withdraw your consent at any time in relation to processing based on consent.

The exact scope of certain rights depends on the legal basis used for the relevant processing activity.

To exercise your rights or ask a question concerning your personal data, you may contact:

Data Protection Officer – SIEMEL INDUSTRIE
contact@siemel.fr

Proof of identity may only be requested where necessary to verify the identity of the person making the request.

15. Complaint to the CNIL

If, after contacting SIEMEL INDUSTRIE, you believe that your rights have not been respected, you have the right to lodge a complaint with:

Commission Nationale de l’Informatique et des Libertés – CNIL

The possibility of lodging a complaint with the supervisory authority is one of the items of information that must be provided to data subjects.

16. Changes to this Privacy Policy

SIEMEL INDUSTRIE may amend this policy in order to take account of:

changes to the website;
the addition or removal of a service;
changes in applicable regulations;
changes to the processing of personal data.

In the event of a material change, the policy will be updated to reflect the relevant new processing activities.
