Introduction

NetMedia International, a company registered in France under number 498 647 882 with its registered office at RCS Nanterre, has released an updated Privacy & Cookie Policy. This update aligns with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), reinforcing the company's commitment to protecting and respecting user privacy. The policy applies to all visitors and users of NetMedia International's websites and services.

Key Aspects of the Updated Policy

The new policy outlines the types of personal data collected, how it is used, with whom it may be shared, and the rights users have over their information. NetMedia International emphasizes that by continuing to use their websites, users consent to the practices described.

Information Collected

The policy identifies three main categories of data collection:

• Information you provide: When filling out forms, registering for services, or contacting the company, users may provide their name, address, email, phone number, and business details.
• Information automatically collected: Through cookies and similar technologies, the site gathers technical data such as browsing behavior, device information, and IP addresses to improve user experience.
• Information from third parties: NetMedia International may receive data from business partners, advertising networks, analytics providers, and other sources, which is combined with user-provided data for specific purposes.

Use of Information

Collected data is used for several purposes, including fulfilling contractual obligations, providing requested services, sending marketing communications (with opt-out options), improving website functionality, ensuring security, and delivering relevant advertising. The company also uses data for internal operations like troubleshooting, data analysis, and research.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

NetMedia International may share information within the NETMEDIA GROUP, with business partners, suppliers, and subcontractors for service delivery. Aggregate data may be provided to advertisers and advertising networks to target audiences, without revealing individual identities. Analytics and search engine providers also receive data to help optimize the site.

In certain situations, personal data may be disclosed to third parties, such as during business sales or acquisitions, to comply with legal obligations, or to protect the company's rights and property.

Data Storage and Security

All personal data is stored on secure servers within the European Economic Area (EEA) for a period of 10 years. Security measures include firewalls, antivirus software, encryption, and regular backups. Users are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their passwords. While the company takes reasonable steps to protect data, no internet transmission is completely secure, and users assume some risk.

User Rights

Under GDPR, users have several rights regarding their personal data:

• The right to be informed about data collection and use.
• The right to access their data and verify lawful processing.
• The right to request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
• The right to request deletion of data when no longer needed.
• The right to restrict processing.
• The right to data portability.
• The right to object to processing, including for marketing.
• The right not to be subject to automated decisions with legal effects.

Users can exercise these rights by contacting Ludovic Jacobs at the provided email address. A small fee may apply in some cases.

Cookie Policy

The updated policy includes a detailed Cookie Policy explaining how cookies are used. Cookies are small data files that enhance user experience by remembering preferences, analyzing site usage, and delivering targeted ads. The policy categorizes cookies as analytical/performance, functionality, and targeting cookies. Users can block cookies through browser settings, but this may affect website functionality.

Third-party cookies from advertising networks and analytics providers may also be used, over which NetMedia International has no control.

The updated Privacy & Cookie Policy reflects the company's dedication to transparency and compliance with evolving data protection laws. Users are encouraged to review the full policy and contact the data protection representative with any questions or concerns. The policy may be updated periodically, and users should check back for changes.
