You are granted the following rights regarding your personal data, which you can exercise by writing to the following email address: donneespersonnelles@duroc-partners.com.
To exercise these rights, you must provide proof of your identity, by producing a copy of a signed identity document. This requirement enables us, in particular, to ensure that the person issuing the request is the person concerned.
DUROC PARTNERS will then have a one-month period from receipt of your request to reply. This period may be extended by two months in the event of numerous simultaneous or concomitant requests within the time limit and/or if the request is of a complex form or content.
- Right to information, access and communication of data
You have the right to access your personal data and to request a copy of your data and information concerning:
-

- Right to rectify, delete and forget data
You have the right to request the rectification, updating, blocking or deletion of your personal data which may be inaccurate, erroneous, incomplete or obsolete.
Your attention is drawn to the fact that the right to deletion of data is not a general right and can only be exercised if one of the grounds provided for in the applicable regulations is present, but also if the situation or the data processing that led to the request falls within the scope of:

- the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information;
- the compliance with a legal obligation or the performance of a task in the public interest;
- an archival matter in the public interest, for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes;

- Right to object to data processing
You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data.
If you exercise your right to object, we will ensure that we no longer process your personal data in the context of the processing concerned, unless we can demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds for maintaining such processing.

- Right to data portability
You have the right to receive the personal data you have provided to us in a transferable, open and readable format.
- Right to limit processing
You have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted. This means that your data will only be kept and no longer used by DUROC PARTNERS in the cases provided for by legislation and regulations:
-
- for the duration of the verification process we carry out when you dispute the accuracy of your personal data;
- when the processing of such data is unlawful, and you wish to limit such processing rather than delete your data;
- when we no longer need your personal data, but you wish us to keep it to exercise your rights;
- for the duration of the verification process of legitimate grounds, when you have objected to the processing of your data.
- Complaint to the competent authority
You have the right to institute proceedings with the Commission nationale de l’informatique et des libertés (CNIL) in France, without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.
You may also bring an action before a competent administrative or judicial court if you consider that the processing of your personal data, which is the subject of herein privacy policy, constitutes a violation of the applicable laws.
