Data protection policy

Preamble

In the context of the use of all its websites and virtual spaces, hereafter the Site, the Cercle Magellan gives special importance to the protection of personal data collected on its users (hereafter the Persons Concerned).

In order to fully comply with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the law no.78-17 of 6 January 1978 amended, and as set forth in the guidelines of the National Commission for Data Protection (la Commission Nationale de l’Informatique et des Libertés, hereafter the CNIL), the Cercle Magellan accepts the commitments set forth in this data protection policy regarding Persons Concerned. 


Information

Persons Concerned are systematically informed of any collection of personal data, including:

  • the identity of the person in charge of data processing;
  • the purpose of data processing;
  • whether responses are mandatory or optional;
  • the potential consequences for the person concerned in the absence of a response;
  • the recipients or class of recipients of the data;
  • the existence of and procedure to exercise rights of access, opposition and rectification of personal data;
  • if applicable, the planned transfer of personal data to a non-European Union country.

Consent

The consent of Persons Concerned is systematically sought by the Cercle Magellan, except for exceptions as described at article 7 of the Data Protection Law, amended by law 2018-493 of 20 June 2018, and particularly where data processing is in the legitimate interests pursued by the person in charge of data processing, or by the recipient, and provided that the basic rights and freedoms of the Persons Concerned are not disregarded.

Purposes

All personal data collection undertaken by the Cercle Magellan is for clear, explicit and legitimate reasons. It relates in particular to the Cercle Magellan’s delivery of information or services requested by the Persons Concerned, or for the purposes of obtaining statistics, or for scientific research in the Cercle Magellan’s sector.

This data is collected in good faith; no data is collected without users’ knowledge and without first informing them. 
Personal data collected is that strictly necessary. The Cercle Magellan makes efforts to minimize data collected, and facilitates the exercise of the rights of Persons Concerned to ensure it is up-to-date and accurate.

Data protection officer (DPO)

In order to ensure confidentiality and protection of personal data, the Cercle Magellan has appointed a Data Protection Officer (DPO). The DPO carries out their duties independently.

The DPO offers peace of mind. They act as a contact specializing in personal data protection, in charge of ensuring the proper application of data protection rules, close relations with the CNIL and with all Persons Concerned by personal data collection or processing.
