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
