All uses of personal data undertaken as part of the services made available comply with all pertinent local regulations concerning personal data protection, in particular the stipulations of the French Data Protection Act of January 6, 1978 (amended) and the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation EU 2016/679) or “GDPR.”
BIOLANDES is committed to complying with all pertinent regulations in all of its operations involving personal data. In particular, BIOLANDES promises to comply with the following principles:
BIOLANDES takes all appropriate technical and organizational measures, starting from the initial conception of its processing operations, to ensure a level of security commensurate with the inherent risk of its processing operations, comply with all regulatory requirements, and protect the rights and data of all persons concerned.
Lastly, BIOLANDES promises to comply with all other appropriate principles in relation to the pertinent regulations concerning personal data protection, and more specifically regarding the rights granted to the persons concerned, the storage time of personal data, and obligations relating to the cross-border transfer of personal data.
BIOLANDES promises to store your personal data for a period not exceeding the time needed for the purposes for which they are processed. In addition, BIOLANDES stores your personal data in compliance with the storage time limits stipulated by all pertinent laws in force.
These storage time limits are defined in relation to the purposes of processing implemented by BIOLANDES, in particular taking into account all pertinent legal measures imposing a specific storage time for certain types of data, any pertinent limitation periods, as well as the recommendations of the CNIL (Commission Nationale de l’Informatique et des Libertés, the French Data Protection Authority) concerning certain types of data processing (for example, deliberation n° 2016-264 of July 21, 2016 amending a simplified standard concerning the automated processing of data of a personal nature as part of the management of clients and prospects (NS-048), article L.232-7 of the Interior Security Code concerning the transmission of passenger data to the French administration, the storage of cookies for 13 months in compliance with the CNIL recommendation, etc.).
Ensuring the security and confidentiality of the personal data that you have entrusted to us is a priority for BIOLANDES. To this end, we implement all appropriate technical and organizational measures, in view of the nature, scope and context of the personal data that you submit to us, as well as the risks inherent in their processing, in order to maintain the security of your personal data and, in particular, prevent any deletion, loss, modification, disclosure, intrusion or unauthorized access to this data, whether accidental or unlawful.
For the purposes of this Charter, the term “personal data” designates all information that makes it possible to identify an individual, directly or indirectly, such as that person’s name or any information making it possible to contact him or her.
For all questions concerning the use of your personal data, feel free to contact us at one of the addresses given below or through our website(s).
In this context, the submission of personal data is voluntary. A user who does not supply this personal data cannot benefit from the corresponding services offered on the BIOLANDES group’s websites, such as communication, the downloading of documents or job recruitment.
When a user submits personal data on a BIOLANDES website, he or she acknowledges having received all necessary authorizations and consent from the persons concerned by this personal data, if they concern other persons, and, whenever applicable, for the purposes described in the present general terms and conditions of use.

You do not have to register to visit one of our websites. When you are simply viewing one of our websites, BIOLANDES does not collect any of your personal data beyond that necessary for the use of cookies.
However, under certain circumstances, BIOLANDES could need to collect certain elements of your personal data, in particular when you sign up for services that allow you to obtain information that is regularly updated by BIOLANDES.
In this case, BIOLANDES can use your data to invite you to events that may be of interest to you, or to send you information concerning its services, publications and products.
For example, you can sign up on our website to obtain the following services:
1. E-mail alerts
BIOLANDES could offer a service consisting of notifying, via e-mail message, persons who have expressed the desire to receive e-mail alerts when new information is posted on a website that they have visited. If you decide to sign up for such a service, we will collect the personal data needed to contact you (for example, your name and e-mail address).
If you wish to unsubscribe from BIOLANDES e-mail alerts, the personal data making it possible to contact you will be stored on our unsubscribe list for a maximum of three years in order to ensure that you no longer receive these communications.
2. Desire to join BIOLANDES
You can inform us of your desire to join our company by sending a postal letter or an e-mail message, or via our website by filling out a contact form. If a user submits a résumé or job application online, BIOLANDES will use this personal data for recruitment purposes, which can imply that BIOLANDES will contact the user by e-mail, telephone or postal letter. In certain cases, the user could be asked to register on a BIOLANDES website. Unless the user specifically requests otherwise, BIOLANDES can store this personal data in its files for a maximum of three years in order to contact the user in the future for other possible employment opportunities at BIOLANDES.

Your prior registration can also be required in order to receive certain documents, such as booklets, newsletters and other publications that are the property of BIOLANDES, bearing in mind that the content of the registration forms can vary depending on the nature of the documents in question. BIOLANDES reserves the right not to fulfill the requests of persons who refuse to submit elements of information that are identified as required in the registration form.

BIOLANDES does not collect sensitive personal data of any kind, except as required by legal and regulatory conditions (e.g. for recruitment purposes). By voluntarily supplying unsolicited sensitive personal data to BIOLANDES (for example by submitting a résumé or job application online), the user expressly agrees that this personal data can be used as described in the present general terms and conditions of use.
“Sensitive personal data” is understood to mean all information concerning an individual that indicates: racial or ethnic origins, political, philosophical or religious opinions, union membership, genetic or biometric data processed for the purpose of identifying specific individuals, information concerning an individual’s health and/or sexual activity and/or criminal record, and in certain cases his or her national identification number or financial information.
BIOLANDES has implemented all pertinent measures to protect the security and confidentiality of the personal data collected in the course of its operations. Access to such data is limited and specific policies and procedures have been implemented to prevent any loss, fraudulent use or other improper use of this data.
We are committed to implementing all appropriate technical and organizational measures needed to guarantee a sufficient degree of security in relation to the risk incurred concerning personal rights and freedoms in the context of the data processing covered by this charter. These measures are defined taking into account the current state of knowledge, the related implementation costs and the nature, scope, context and purposes of this data processing, as well as the known risks.
However, it is important that the user understand that, given the fact that the Internet is an unsecured network open to the public, BIOLANDES cannot be held responsible for the security of personal data transmission over the Internet. We seek to take all reasonable administrative, technical and organizational measures to protect personal information within our organization. Unfortunately, no data storage or transmission system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If you have any reason to suspect that your interactions with us are not secure, please notify us immediately.
Various internal departments of BIOLANDES can have access to your personal data.
We do not share your personal data with third parties (any parties outside of the BIOLANDES internal departments that process this type of data) except under the following specific circumstances: for the processing of your orders, we transmit your data to certain service providers specializing in (i) bank transactions (example: banks, payment service providers), (ii) the management of client relations (possible example: call centers), (iii) after-sales service (possible example: repair centers), (iv) the delivery of products (example: shipping companies) and (v) digital technology development.

BIOLANDES will not divulge your personal data to any third parties that have not made a commitment in writing to ensure a sufficient degree of protection for your data.
