If the aforementioned data is provided online, GEORGES VATINEL ET COMPAGNIE may also collect it offline (for example via a business card given voluntarily to an employee of the company or in a signature sent in an e-mail to an employee).

This site uses the WordPress analytics plugin WP Statistics (wp-statistics.com). Simple statistics are generated from the data in anonymous form.

GEORGES VATINEL ET COMPAGNIE undertakes to ensure the protection and security of the personal data that the user chooses to communicate, in order to ensure their confidentiality and to prevent them from being falsified, damaged, destroyed or disclosed to unauthorised third parties.
The company therefore uses physical, electronic and procedural security devices that are in principle sufficient to protect these data against misuse, loss and unauthorised access, disclosure, modification and destruction.
Nevertheless, even though GEORGES VATINEL ET COMPAGNIE makes every effort to protect personal data, given the inevitable risks of data transmission over the Internet, it cannot guarantee full protection against any errors occurring during the transmission of personal data that are beyond GEORGES VATINEL ET COMPAGNIE’s reasonable control.
Since personal data can be confidential, access to them is restricted to those employees or service providers who need to know these data in order to perform their tasks.
All persons having access to Users’ personal data are bound by a duty of confidentiality and are subject to disciplinary and/or other sanctions if they fail to comply with these obligations.
1.9 Transfer of personal data
GEORGES VATINEL ET COMPAGNIE may disclose personal information to third parties if it believes that such disclosure is necessary for technical reasons (e.g. hosting services) or to protect the legal interests of the company (e.g. in the case of an acquisition or merger with a third company or a total or partial liquidation).
Therefore, by using the Website, the user gives GEORGES VATINEL ET COMPAGNIE his consent to send his personal data to the aforementioned third parties and acknowledges that these data will be treated in accordance with their own privacy policies.
GEORGES VATINEL ET COMPAGNIE may also disclose such personal information if it is required to do so by law or if GEORGES VATINEL ET COMPAGNIE believes in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to comply with a legal process (such as a warrant, subpoena or other court order) or to protect the rights, property or personal safety of GEORGES VATINEL ET COMPAGNIE, its customers or the public.
Such transfers may be made by any method GEORGES VATINEL ET COMPAGNIE deems appropriate and in accordance with applicable law.
