    Personal data 

    Specific Website elements may require users to register beforehand or to fill in a contact form. In such a case, personal data will be requested from users, including first name and last name, postal address and email address.

    Users are, moreover, informed that during visits to the Website, cookies may be automatically stored on their browsing software. A cookie is a block of data that does not identify the user individually; however, it records information relating to browsing (the pages visited, the date and time of the visits, etc.) that can be read during subsequent visits. For example, cookies make access to the Website easier by eliminating the need for users to enter their logon credentials every time they visit the Website.

    The use of cookies also enables the Publisher to assess the traffic and improve the use of their Website.
    Users declare they have been informed of this and permit the Publisher to use it. Users can, if so desired, disable cookies by editing their preferences in their browser.

    Pursuant to Articles 32 et al of the French Data Protection Act (Loi Informatique et Libertés), (Act No.78-17 of 6 January 1978 amended by Act 2004-801 of 6 August 2004 on data protection), users have the right to access, modify and delete their data. To exercise their rights, users must send their request in writing, by email to donneespersonnelles@adova-group.com, or by postal mail to Groupe ADOVA, 45 rue du Cardinal Lemoine, 75005 Paris, France, in both cases mentioning their first name, last name, postal address, email address as well as the reason for their request.

    The Publisher will strive to implement any means required to ensure the Website remains accessible to users. However, the Publisher can in no way be held liable in the event that one or several users are unable to log onto the Website as a result of a technical failure, a bug or any other issue related in particular to network congestion.

    Transfer rates and the response times of information transmitted between the Internet network and the Website platform are not guaranteed by the Publisher. Information transmission speed is not dependent on the access services provided by the Publisher, but on characteristics inherent to online networks relating to the technical means for absorbing the traffic generated. The Publisher reminds users of the characteristics and limits of the Internet network and cannot be held liable for any consequences related to users logging onto this network via the Website.

    More specifically, the Publisher cannot be held liable for any material or immaterial damage caused to users, to their computer equipment or the data stored within, or for consequences that may result from this on their activity.

The Publisher cannot be held liable for the content of these third-party websites or the content to which these third-party websites redirect. Moreover, the Publisher cannot be held liable for the content, products, advertising or any other element or service published on these websites.
