In what capacity do we act?
In the course of their activities, the entities of the MEPHISTO Group directly process personal data concerning their employees and customers. They are therefore considered to be data controllers with regard to European data protection legislation. This processing is necessary for the execution of contracts (e.g. General Terms and Conditions of Sale) or to comply with a legal obligation (civil law, tax law, accounting law).
Furthermore, in the context of its own activities or capacity as service provider (e.g. web shop) to customers, an individual entity of the MEPHISTO group may be considered to be acting as a processor for another entity of the group.

COLLECTING, PROCESSING AND USING PERSONAL DATA

COLLECTING, PROCESSING AND USING PERSONAL DATA

If a contract is agreed, we collect and process the personal data that you provide to us in our system and use it for the purposes set out in this declaration for the duration of the contract, including the fulfilment of our contractual obligations to you, notably the execution of orders and any related invoicing. We may also retain and process personal data for a reasonable period after your order is complete, for example to assist in the processing of future orders by you and for the marketing purposes set out in this declaration. Personal data is defined as any information that could be used to identify a person, whether directly or indirectly, such as, for example: name, address, email address, date of birth, profession, bank details, etc.

For publicity and market research purposes, as well as to tailor our product offer to our customers' requirements, we create and use anonymous user profiles. In addition, we use the postal and email addresses registered to inform you of information regarding products similar to your order. You can ask to opt out of this, free of charge, at any time by sending a declaration of this by email to privacy@mephisto.com or by ticking the corresponding box on your order or by clicking on the relevant link at the bottom of each of our newsletters.

We will, on request, provide you with all personal information about you registered with us free of charge. You can, at any time, request the correction, removal or deletion of your personal data that is registered with us.
If our business is sold or integrated with another business your details may be disclosed to our advisers and any prospective purchasers and their advisers and will be passed on to the new owners of the business.

We only use your personal data for orders made to our company and related companies, as well as third parties mandated to carry out orders. In all other cases, unless expressly set out in this declaration we will not transmit your data to third parties without your express consent, especially for marketing purposes. Where the law or a legal ruling requires us to do so, we will transmit your data to the authorities authorised to receive them.

We store your information on highly secure servers. These are secured by technical and organisational methods that are intended to prevent the loss, destruction, access, modification or dissemination of your data by any unauthorised person. Only a few authorised persons may access your data. These persons are responsible for the technical, commercial or editorial maintenance of the servers. While we will use all reasonable efforts to safeguard your personal data, and despite all standard controls, you acknowledge that it is not possible to guarantee complete protection against all risks to or losses of any personal data that are transferred from you or to you, in particular via the internet.

Your personal data will be encrypted before being transmitted online. To transmit the data, we use SSL (secure socket layer) encryption.

What data do we collect?

A.    General
In order to provide the services offered, the MEPHISTO Group needs to collect and process certain information about you. The data that is collected depends on the context of your interactions with the entities in the group, the choices you make and the services you subscribe to.

B.    Categories of personal data

The data we collect and process may include the following categories (list inexhaustive):
•    Identifying data: we will collect your personal data including your surname, first name(s) and other related data, date of birth, gender (title), country, nationality and language;
•    Bank information (for web sales): we will collect your bank data such as the bank account number and the name of the financial institution, BIC and IBAN, in the scope of accounting transactions (billing, credit notes), or for contributions or participation in extra-contractual costs;
Based on the categories of data mentioned above, the MEPHISTO group guarantees that no special categories of data are collected or processed, in accordance with Articles 9 and 10 of the GDPR.

Children and young people under the age of 18 may not send their personal data to us without the consent of their parents or legal representatives; the use of our web shop is prohibited for children and young people under the age of 18. We do not request personal data from children, we do not collect such data and we do not pass it on to third parties.

How do we collect data?
This clause relates to our privacy policy.
When you log in, information about you is retrieved automatically. For further details, please see our Cookie Statement (lien).
The personal data we collect when you submit the contact form, register online for the newsletter or participate in an event: we only collect and process personal data that is strictly necessary for the business relationship.

ANALYSIS OF IP ADDRESSES AND ANY OTHER INFORMATION

When you access the website, your data, notably IP address, date, time and pages viewed, will be recorded on our servers. It is possible that this data may be used to identify some users.

We do not use IP addresses to identify users. However, we may use the IP addresses collected for (anonymous) statistical analysis. In addition, we use information about your IP address as well as other personal data to prevent any fraudulent use (fraud prevention) or other unlawful use of our website. We may also use information about you to select the version of our online presence corresponding to the country concerned.

PAYMENT OF ORDERS

The payment of orders depends on the payment method selected via a service provider. For payments by credit card or Paypal, it is necessary to transmit your personal information to the service provider or their intermediary so that your order can be processed. We will take reasonable steps to ensure that such service providers adhere to the standards of confidentiality and protection set out in this declaration.

WITHDRAWAL OF CONSENT

By submitting your information to us, you hereby give your express consent to the processing and use of that information in accordance with the terms of this declaration, including the transfer of your information to a location outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) for these purposes, and the processing of your information for email marketing purposes (as noted in the authorisation set out below). However, you may withdraw your consent at any time in the future by notifying us.

AUTHORISATION TO SEND MARKETING EMAILS

By submitting your information to us, you hereby confirm as follows:
“I would like to receive offers by email. I understand that my email address will not be shared with third parties. I understand that I may, at any time, decide to opt out of these marketing emails by declaring as such.”

HOW DO WE PROTECT YOUR DATA?

The MEPHISTO Group thanks you for placing your trust in it; we are committed to protecting the personal data you entrust to us. We guarantee the implementation of appropriate organisational measures as well as physical and technical security measures.

Confidentiality
Taking into account appropriate security measures, the processing of personal data constitutes a legitimate interest for the controller. Therefore, the MEPHISTO Group guarantees that the processing of your personal data will be carried out in complete confidentiality, with integrity and respect for fundamental rights and freedoms.

 

Integrity
At the MEPHISTO online store, your security is our priority. You can browse our website and our offers completely anonymously. However, if you would like to make an order or if you send us your data by other means (by subscribing to newsletters, for example), we will record your data with your agreement.
•    All data indicated through the order process are encrypted before leaving your PC and being transmitted online. To do so, we use a secure encryption method "Secure Socket Layer" (SSL) with a 128 bit encryption key, in order to prevent anyone from reading your data.
•    The MEPHISTO online store works with various advertisers. It is therefore possible that the SSL symbol will not appear at the bottom of the browser window or your browser may not tell you that there is a connection with an SSL server through a dialogue box. You can, however, view the encrypted transmission of the data you have provided (https mode) by clicking on the right mouse button at the Checkout and by selecting the "Properties" and Certificates options.


Resilience
We store all personal data on particularly secure servers. Technical and organisational measures are in place to secure against the loss, destruction, access, manipulation or dissemination of your data by any unauthorised person. Only a few authorised persons can access your data.

What are your rights as a data subject?  
The MEPHISTO Group assures you the possibility of exercising your rights at any time and will respond to you in the most appropriate manner.

•    Right to information about and access to your personal data
•    Right to rectification
•    Right to erasure (‘right to be forgotten’)

•    Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

If you wish to assert your rights, please email the following address: privacy@mephisto.com

The deadlines by which we are obliged to respond to your request are listed in the table below:

•    Service provision:
o    Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract.

In the cases expressly provided for by the laws and regulations in force, your consent will be requested before sending any communication for direct marketing purposes so that you are able to object or agree to receive such communication: when personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of their personal data, including profiling insofar as it is related to the direct marketing.
•    Management and administration of infrastructure and operations to develop the information system: the controller shall implement appropriate technical and organisational measures for ensuring that, by default, only personal data which are necessary for each specific purpose of the processing are processed.
