Regata is a service provider in the field of advertising to professionals and the general public worldwide. As such, it collects and processes a large amount of personal data on behalf of itself and its clients and business partners. Regata is strongly committed to ensuring that its systems and practices comply with the European Data Protection Regulation.
The purpose of this privacy policy is to describe the principles implemented by Regata in order to comply with the Regulation and to protect the privacy of individuals whose data is processed.
It also specifies the general framework of the processing of personal data carried out within Regata and, in this sense, aims to provide the persons concerned with the information necessary for full compliance with the regulations in force.
How is the data collected? Regata collects, through its activities, data, some of which allow to identify or make identifiable natural persons.
1.1. The legal basis for the collection The legislation lists the legal bases for the collection of personal data, in other words the legitimate justifications for collecting data. These legal bases are explained and/or recalled in the context of the collections made by Regata. In this respect, Regata is likely to collect personal data on the basis of
♦ the consent of the person concerned ; N.B.: in France, the CNIL recognizes two exceptions to prior consent in electronic prospecting detailed in a sheet on electronic prospecting dated October 2016:
In relationships between professionals, the prior consent of the data subject is not required for commercial solicitations sent to the professional email address as soon as these solicitations are related to the profession of the person in question. This tolerance is called "BtoB exception". The Regata activities are mainly implemented between professionals, the collections are often carried out following a prior information. Prior consent is also not required for any solicitation sent to a data subject for services/products similar to those that this person would have already acquired from the same organization. ♦ performance of obligations under a contract; N.B.: The collection of personal data of our customers and users is necessary in order to execute the terms of the contract (e.g. subscription, subscription to an online service - free or paid,....) and to ensure the provision of the subscribed service or the product acquired by the natural person concerned. Thus, in this context, the consent of the individual is not necessary since the processing carried out is linked to the execution of the contract.
♦ the legitimate interest¹ of the data controller ; N.B.: In certain circumstances, the very nature of the service provided by Regata involves the collection of personal data from its clients and users and the transmission of this information to designated third parties (e.g. matchmaking services). These processing operations related to the legitimate interest of the controller in this hypothesis are considered a reasonable expectation on the part of the data subject with regard to the description of the service provided. Of course, Regata constantly assesses whether its legitimate interest is not outweighed by the interest of the data subject or by the respect of his or her fundamental rights and freedoms.
♦ a legal obligation making the processing mandatory. N.B.: The regulatory context of an activity may make certain processing and transfer of data mandatory: e.g. for the billing of products or services, training activities (attendance sheet), etc...
