Last updated: April 15, 2024

This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) aims to formalize our commitment to respecting the privacy of users of the services (the “Services”) provided by the company MEYNIER (“Company”) as well as the website https://www.meynier.com/ (the “Site”) operated by the Company.

The Policy and the General Terms of Service constitute a contractual set. All capitalized terms not defined in this Policy are defined in the General Terms of Service available on the Site or upon request from the Company.

In the context of our Services and the provision of our Site, we process your personal data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 of April 27, 2016 (“GDPR”) and under the conditions set forth below.

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. We collect and process personal data as part of the provision of our Services or communication about these Services exclusively, in strict compliance with the GDPR.

We only collect personal data that are adequate, relevant, and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which they are processed. Thus, you will never be asked to provide personal data considered “sensitive,” such as your racial or ethnic origins, political opinions, philosophical or religious beliefs.

By registering on the Site or by communicating your contact details to us, you authorize us to process your personal data in accordance with the Policy.

If you do not agree with the terms of this Policy, please refrain from using the Site and the Services.

1. When do we collect your personal data and what data is collected?

We may collect and retain your personal data, particularly when you contact us.

We use your personal data to enable the implementation and management of our Services or Site services and to respond to your specific requests. We also use your personal data to operate and improve our Services, our Site, and our approach. This information is used only by us and allows us to better tailor our Services to your expectations.

If you have chosen to receive emails and messages from us when registering on one of our forms or directly through our exchanges, you will then receive electronic and alphanumeric messages regarding our products and promotions. We will then use the personal data you provided during your registration on our forms or directly through our exchanges. You can unsubscribe from these communications at any time.

Connection data. Each time you connect to our Site, we collect personal data such as your IP address and the MAC address of your computer, the date and time of connection, as well as information about the browser you are using.

Navigation data. We also collect information that identifies how you access the Site, which pages are viewed, and for how long. In this context, we may use Cookies as specified in paragraph 6 below.

2. How do we protect your personal data?

We have implemented technical and organizational security measures to ensure the security, integrity, and confidentiality of all your personal data, to prevent them from being distorted, damaged, or accessed by unauthorized third parties. We ensure an appropriate level of security, taking into account the state of knowledge, implementation costs, and the nature, scope, context, and purposes of the processing, as well as the risks and their probability.

However, it is specified that no security measure is infallible, and we are unable to guarantee absolute security for your personal data.

3. When do we share your personal data?

3.1 Sharing your personal data with third-party companies

As part of our Services or during your navigation on the Site, your personal data may be transmitted to external service providers. These third parties provide a service on our behalf and in our name in order to enable, in particular, the proper functioning of credit card payments and other services necessary for the conduct of our business.

Personal data may be transferred to countries located outside the European Union for the implementation of the Provider’s Services or for the purpose of being kept for security and storage purposes, in order to comply with the legal and regulatory obligations to which the Provider is subject.

In accordance with the GDPR, all transfers of personal data to a country located outside the European Union and/or not offering a level of protection considered sufficient by the European Commission have been the subject of cross-border flow agreements compliant with the standard contractual clauses issued by the European Commission.

Other transfers of personal data to the United States are governed by the EU-U.S. PRIVACY SHIELD: click here for more information.

Unless a third party asks you to accept its own privacy policy and terms of use, third-party companies that have been informed of your personal data are committed to processing your personal data only for the implementation of our Services.

We will never share your personal data with third-party companies for marketing and/or commercial purposes without having obtained your prior consent.

3.2 Sharing with authorities

We may be required to disclose your personal data to administrative or judicial authorities when such disclosure is necessary for the identification, apprehension, or prosecution of any individual likely to harm our rights, any other user, or a third party. We may also be legally obliged to disclose your personal data and cannot oppose it in this case.

4. How long do we retain your personal data?

In any case, we will retain your personal data for a period not exceeding that necessary in light of the purposes for which they are processed in accordance with the uses set out in this Policy and in compliance with laws and regulations.

5. Cookies: how do we use them?

5.1 What is a cookie?

A cookie is a text file that may be deposited on a terminal when consulting an online service with browsing software. A cookie file allows its issuer, during its validity period, to recognize the terminal concerned each time this terminal accesses digital content containing cookies from the same issuer.

In any case, cookies deposited on your browsing terminal with your consent are destroyed 13 months after being deposited on your terminal.

5.2 What are the cookies issued on our Site used for?

The cookies we issue allow us to:

• Establish statistics and volumes of attendance and use of the various components of our Site (sections and content visited, paths), allowing us to improve the interest and ergonomics of the Site and, if applicable, of our products and services;
• Adapt the presentation of our Site to the display preferences of your terminal (language used, display resolution, operating system used, etc.) during your visits to our Site, depending on the hardware and software for viewing or reading that your terminal contains;
• Remember information related to a form you have filled out on our Site (registration or access to your account) or to products, services, or information you have chosen on our Site (service subscribed to, contents of a shopping cart, etc.);
• Allow you to access reserved and personal areas of our Site, such as your Account, using identifiers or data that you may have previously entrusted to us, and implement security measures, for example when you are asked to log in again to content or a service after a certain period of time.

During your first visit to the Site, a cookies banner will appear on the homepage. A clickable link allows you to learn more about the purpose and functioning of cookies and directs you to this Policy. Continuing to browse on another page of the site or selecting an element of the Site (such as an image, text, link, etc.) signifies your acceptance of the placement of the specified cookies on your computer.

5.3 How can you control the cookies used?

You can configure your browsing software at any time to allow cookies to be stored on your terminal or, conversely, to reject them (either systematically or depending on their issuer). You can also configure your browsing software so that you are offered the option to accept or refuse cookies on a case-by-case basis, before a cookie is saved to your terminal.

Note: Any settings may modify your internet browsing and your access conditions to certain services requiring the use of cookies. We decline all responsibility for the consequences related to the degraded operation of our services resulting from the impossibility of saving or consulting the cookies necessary for their operation and which you would have refused or deleted. This would be the case if you attempted to access our content or services that require identification. This would also be the case when we (or our providers) could not recognize, for technical compatibility purposes, the type of browser used by your terminal, its language and display settings, or the country from which your terminal seems to be connected to the internet.

5.4 How to configure your browsing software?

The configuration of each browser for managing cookies and your choices is different. It is described in the help menu of your browser, which will allow you to know how to modify your cookie preferences. Below are instructions for the main browsers:
