THE SOCIALITE FAMILY (“TSF”) operates a platform accessible via the website www.thesocialitefamily.com (“the Site”), which allows the online ordering of furniture and decoration items. 

As part of its activities, TSF processes personal data ("the Data") and undertakes to process your data in a safe and responsible manner in accordance with applicable regulations, in particular the "Data Protection Act" of 6 January 1978 as amended by the European Regulation of 27 April 2016 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (the GDPR). 

This privacy policy establishes the principles according to which TSF processes your Data and the measures put in place to ensure their security and confidentiality. This privacy policy allows you to communicate mandatory information regarding the processing of personal data that TSF carries out. 

As a reminder, any data relating to an identified or identifiable natural person is personal data. A person is identifiable if it can be identified directly or indirectly in particular by reference to an identifier, for example location data, an online identifier, etc. 

Data processing consists of any operation or set of operations performed or not performed using automated processes and applied to personal data or sets of data (collection, recording, transmission, storage, retention, retrieval, consultation, use, interconnection, segmentation, etc.). 

As a data controller, TSF decides the purposes and means of processing your personal data. This data is collected directly from you, in particular via the Site, by telephone, in TSF shops or via exchanges with TSF customer service or indirectly through public sources. In the latter case, these are the professional email addresses that TSF obtains via their website. This privacy policy will subsequently be communicated in the first email sent to them by TSF.

This privacy policy is brought to your attention when you create your account and can be consulted at any time on the Site. 

TSF may change this Privacy Policy at any time and will inform its customers by such means as it deems appropriate.

• Only collect data for specific, explicit and legitimate purposes, 

• Collect only the data necessary for the purposes pursued, 

• Process this data lawfully, fairly and transparently, 

• Take all reasonable steps to ensure that the data is accurate and up-to-date,

• Keep the data for a limited time and proportionate to the purpose of the processing,

• Take all technical and organisational measures to ensure the security of data, protect it against unauthorised or unlawful processing, loss and destruction.

2.2 In connection with the use of the Site

When you access and/or register and/or use the web services offered by TSF, TSF collects and processes personal data about you provided that you have accepted the storage of the corresponding cookies on your device. 

The information that may be collected includes: the IP address assigned to you during your connection, the date and time of access to the Site, the pages visited, the type of browser used, the operating system installed on the device, the search engine as well as the keywords used to find the site. For more information on cookies, see Article 7..

2.3 Recording of telephone conversations

Telephone conversations between you and TSF staff may be recorded for training, quality control and /or evidence of business transactions. 

The personal data collected and/or that you communicate are exclusively intended for TSF. You may exercise your rights in respect of such recordings in accordance with terms stated in Article 9. 

2.4 Video surveillance

TSF has placed some of its shops under video surveillance to ensure the safety of its staff and property. The video recordings are kept by an external company and communicated to TSF managers only in the event of incidents. You may exercise your rights in respect of such video recordings in accordance with the terms stated in Article 9.

2.5 Collection of anonymous information 

TSF may automatically collect anonymised information, such as the type of Internet browsers you use. TSF may also collect in the form of anonymised statistics information that you have submitted to the Site (for example, the city where you live), your behaviour while using the Services (for example, clicks, time spent visiting a page, domain names and paths through which you use or access the Services). This data does not identify you directly or indirectly and is used solely to assist TSF in providing an effective service on the Site. 

TSF collects Personal Data listed in Article 2 in order to respond to your requests and provide you with the best possible service. 

The table below gives you an overview of how your Data is processed.

[TABLEAU]

In the event of processing based on TSF's legitimate interest, TSF has ascertained the strict necessity of the data collected with regard to its legitimate interest. Thus, TSF has weighed up the rights and interests in question and has verified in this context that its interests are not to the detriment of the rights and interests of the persons whose data is being processed.

The personal data collected and processed by TSF may be communicated to the following recipients or categories of recipients:

- Natural persons authorised by TSF to process your Personal Data, after signing a confidentiality agreement, and in particular TSF employees;

- To the payment providers ALMA, ADYEN, FINTECTURE and PAYPAL, who act as separate data controllers;

- TSF's external advisors: lawyers, accountants, auditors, etc., bound by an obligation of confidentiality;

- To the authorities: your Personal Data may be disclosed to the competent authorities in accordance with the law, a regulation and/or a court decision;

- To any third party in the event of a merger/acquisition, total or partial disposal of assets, change of direct or indirect control, or any other form of restructuring implemented by TSF.

- Service providers to whom TSF subcontracts all or part of the processing of your Data, in particular:

• The Site's hosting company and operator;

• The email service provider;

• The logistics provider for the preparation of orders and the monitoring of returns; 

• Carriers;

• The delivery tracking service;

• The customer ticketing service provider for the management of complaints and calls to customer service;

• The video surveillance service provider.

With regard to its subcontractors, TSF undertakes to verify that they provide all the necessary guarantees for the protection of personal data. Thus, TSF has put in place the necessary contractual measures to commit its subcontractors to strictly respect the security and confidentiality of personal data and to use them only according to the instructions provided by TSF.

TSF's subcontractors only have access to the data necessary for the performance of their services and are not authorised to process your data for other uses.

Personal data is never transmitted to any business partner of TSF, whether for free or for a fee, without first obtaining your consent.

TSF may only transmit your data to a country that is not a member of the European Union if that country ensures an adequate level of protection within the meaning of the legislation in force or to the extent permitted by the legislation in force, for example by ensuring data protection through appropriate contractual provisions.

Thus, some TSF subcontractors and IT service providers are based in the United States. Pursuant to a judgment by the European Union Court of Justice of 16 July 2020, personal data can no longer be transferred to the United States on the basis of Privacy Shield. TSF has therefore put in place Standard Contractual Clauses and has ensured that the security and confidentiality measures applied by the subcontractors to personal data make it possible to guarantee a level of protection equivalent to the level of protection provided for by the GDPR. 

Similarly, if you require delivery to a country that is not a member of the European Union, TSF must submit your name, postal address and telephone number to the local carrier.

If you have any questions regarding the transfer of your personal data outside the European Union, please send an email to shop@thesocialitefamily.com.

TSF has put in place the necessary technical and organisational measures, taking into account the nature of the data processed, to ensure their security and confidentiality. 

When you enter your information on the Site, its transmission is secured by the SSL (Secure Socket Layers) protocol. SSL guarantees that the Data exchanged cannot be read by third parties.

Within TSF, access to your Data is strictly limited to those whose duties require it. These persons are bound by a confidentiality agreement.

TSF has put in place the necessary internal procedures to ensure the notification to the French CNIL service within 72 hours maximum of any personal data breach that may cause a risk to your rights and freedoms. 

In the event of a personal data breach that may result in a high risk to your rights and freedoms, you will be informed as soon as possible of the following:

• the nature of a violation

• the categories and approximate number of data subjects concerned

• the categories and approximate number of files concerned

• the likely consequences of the data breach

• the measures taken to remedy the violation and, where appropriate, to mitigate the consequences of the violation
