The duration of the retention of Personal Data collected by Versity may vary depending on the type of processing and is governed by :
The duration necessary to fulfill the purpose;
A legal retention period;
A period determined for regulatory or control reasons.
Thus, and without this list being exhaustive:
Management of commercial relationships: the entire duration of the commercial relationship and up to five (5) years thereafter (in accordance with Article 2224 of the Civil Code and Article L561-12 of the Monetary and Financial Code relating to the obligation to retain customer information as part of the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing).
Legal registers of the Company: it is specified that the legal registers kept by the Company must be kept for ten (10) years (articles 53, 65 and 72 of the decree of July 20, 1972); the names and addresses of the Company's clients appearing therein will therefore be kept for this entire period.
Sending of the newsletter: Duration of the subscription to the newsletter.
At the end of this retention period, these Personal Data are archived, deleted or anonymized, according to the prescriptions of the CNIL and in the respect of the preservation of the exercise of the rights of the persons.
We prefer to host your Personal Data on servers located in the European Economic Area, but if necessary, we will use the "Standard Contractual Clauses" of the European Commission for the transfer of personal data to third countries. These clauses comply with Decision 2004/915/EC and Decision 2010/87/EU, as applicable.
Your Personal Data may also be transferred outside the European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland for two reasons: either for the performance of business relations between Versity and you, or because some of our service providers are located outside the European Economic Area. In such a case, we take particular care to ensure that this transfer is carried out in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations, and in particular with Law No. 78-17 of January 6, 1978 as amended by the Law of June 20, 2018 and the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of April 27, 2016.
If you would like to know more about these transfers and storages, you can simply contact us at the address indicated in Section 12.1 "Asserting your rights", and we can provide you with additional information, including the European Commission's standard contractual clauses.
In accordance with applicable regulations, Versity implements technical and organizational security measures to ensure the security and confidentiality of the Personal Data you provide, including preventing access, disclosure, loss or damage to such data by unauthorized persons.
Versity has implemented high security measures. In particular, the following measures may be cited:
Good hosting practices
Containerization of projects
Connection via SSH key
Physical and logical access management
Datacenters under video surveillance and guarding (SSIAP2 security agents) 24/7
Badge access control coupled with biometrics
When Versity uses a service provider, it will only disclose Personal Information to that service provider after it has imposed its own security principles.
Please note that no security measure is perfect or unbreakable. We cannot and do not guarantee that your Personal Information will not be accessed, viewed, disclosed, altered or destroyed by a breach of our physical, technical or managerial security measures.
The provisions of this Privacy Policy also apply to the request and sending of our newsletter.
The newsletter will only be sent after a request for prior consent from the user according to the so-called opt-in procedure.
Users of the newsletter are also assigned a user ID, which enables the Versity platform to determine when the relevant newsletter was opened and which links or functions of the relevant newsletter were activated. To do this, we may use tracking systems such as pixels or web beacons to detect message opening, link clicks, IP address or type of browser used to read the message and other similar information.
The tracking is done to optimize the newsletter internally: the Personal Data collected will therefore not be shared with third parties. The legal basis for this processing is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. This authorization is justified because, on the one hand, Versity has a legitimate interest in evaluating this data in order to optimize its newsletter, and on the other hand, a data subject can reasonably expect, at the time of collection of the Personal Data, that the Personal Data will be processed for this purpose, taking into account the measures mentioned above.
The user has the right to withdraw consent at any time. If the user of the newsletter does not wish to receive this follow-up, he/she can unsubscribe from the newsletter. To do so, simply unsubscribe via the link in the newsletter or send an email to dpo@versity.io.
Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing based on the consent prior to its withdrawal.
When you access the Site and use our services, we may use certain "profiling" techniques to send you personalized information or communications that concern you. Profiling can be defined as the automated processing of Personal Data consisting of using this Data to analyze and evaluate certain personal aspects relating to an individual (personal preferences, interests, behavior, location, movements, etc.). We may also rely on external data to improve our efficiency in this process.
Our Website includes a number of hypertext links directing the User to external websites that are totally independent from the structure of the Website and Versity. These sites listed below (non-exhaustive list) collect and process data.
When accessing and browsing these third-party sites, the User is informed when he/she is directed to another site. In this case, the User's Personal Data is exclusively subject to the general terms of use and sale as well as the privacy policy of the corresponding third party sites. We therefore invite you to read these documents on the third-party websites you visit. We cannot be responsible for the privacy policies and practices of other sites, even if you access them via links from Versity.
