last update, November 19, 2023 (v1.1)

 

 

We would like to answer any questions you may have concerning the management of your personal information and to inform you of the measures we have taken to ensure the highest level of data protection. To this end, we have drawn up this policy.

 

Its purpose is to inform you about the processing we carry out, the personal information you wish to entrust to us, the reasons why we collect it and the security we ensure.

 

As a preliminary, we inform you that this Privacy Policy has been drafted in accordance with applicable law. In order to provide you with the utmost transparency and protection, we have included provisions that prove to be compatible with the principles stemming from the European General Data Protection Regulation no. 2016-679 of April 27, 2016, which came into force on May 25, 2018 (or "GDPR").

 

All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning given to them either in the General Terms of Use for Members or in the General Terms of Use for Partners.

In the context of the tested4you Service that we offer from the tested4you Application described in the General Terms of Use, we are, within the meaning of the RGPD, the "controller" of the personal data that you communicate to us when using this Service.

 

As a reminder, tested4you offers a Service through which our Members share videos of 30 seconds maximum concerning places they guarantee to have visited (restaurants, hotels, bars...), activities they guarantee to have done (museums, monuments, amusement parks...), or any good deals they guarantee to have tested (car rental companies...).

 

 

Companies operating in the tourism and leisure sectors who would like to create an account to share videos about their business are tested4you Partners.

 

This Privacy Policy applies to both Members and Partners ("Users" or "you").

This Privacy Policy applies to the information we collect from Members and Partners in the course of their use of the Service. Acceptance of this policy is required to access the Service.

 

 

3. Collection information

 

In order to provide you with the best possible service, we may ask you to provide us with personal information about yourself.

 

When we collect your personal data on tested4you, we will tell you which data must be completed with an asterisk (*), and which data is purely optional.

 

We will then inform you of the possible consequences of failing to reply.

 

Furthermore, when you choose to communicate your personal information to us, by filling in our ad hoc forms or by ticking the boxes or selecting the radio buttons proposed to you, you are expressly indicating your consent to the collection and use of this information in accordance with the legal rules and with the present confidentiality policy.

 

 

4. Type of data collected

 

The personal information we may collect is information that identifies you personally, such as, for example, information relating to :

 

  • For all Users :

your identity: surname, first name and/or pseudonym, e-mail address, profile photo, for Partners possibly the identity and position of the person representing the company, etc. ;

your content and ad views and interactions; the content you have shared;

 

  • For Members :
    • your tastes and preferences in terms of restaurants, activities, etc., which you enter in the Service ;
    • your geolocation, if you activate it ;

 

tested4you does not store User contacts on the tested4you server.

 

5. Data processing purposes

 

The purpose of the personal information you choose to give us is :

 

  • For the information that must be filled in, indicated by an asterisk (*), as well as for the terms you search for, the content you share and your views of content and advertisements, and your interactions with them: to provide you with the Service. This includes enabling you to create an account on the Application, which is essential for viewing and interacting with the content on the Application

 

  • For geolocation: to encourage other Users to trust the reliability of the videos;

 

  • For other information, in particular your tastes and preferences: to improve the Service by offering you the most suitable experiences for you;

 

  • If you wish, we can send you our newsletter, so that we can keep you up to date with the latest developments in the Service;

Thus, the purpose of communicating your personal information is to manage your access to the services accessible on the Application and to guarantee you a use in accordance with your needs.

 

6. Recipients of this information

 

The personal information that you may provide may be consulted by our staff, as well as by all our subsidiaries, by the services in charge of control (auditors in particular) and also by our subcontractors within the strict framework of the purposes that we have presented to you in article 5 above.

 

Furthermore, in order to participate in the Service ecosystem, you are informed that the content you share may be transmitted to third parties, in particular to the Partner about whom a video has been made, so that it can be published on its website for promotional purposes.

 

7. Shelf life

 

As part of the services we offer, we may store content that users publish on tested4you, whether as Members or Partners. As French law requires us to retain the identification data of those responsible for publishing such content (IP address, date and time of connection, pages consulted, etc.), we will in any event retain Users' data for a period of one year in compliance with these requirements.

 

In addition, data used to establish proof of a right or contract that must be kept in order to comply with a legal obligation will be kept for the length of time stipulated by the law in force.

 

Subject to these reservations, your personal information will not be kept for longer than is strictly necessary. It will therefore be kept for the duration of your use of our services via your account, until such time as you close your account.

 

When you close your account, we will ask you to decide what will happen to your account information and the content you have published on the Service. In all cases, once your account is deleted, this information and content will no longer be accessible to other Users, but you may choose :

 

  • permanently anonymize them (or permanently delete them if they cannot be anonymized, especially in the case of videos),

 

  • or to keep them on our servers in case, at a later date, you wish to return to tested4you and recreate an account in which your previous experiences could appear again. In this case, we would keep your information and content for a maximum period of two years, at the end of which, if you have not recreated an account with the same login as before, this information and content will be permanently anonymized or deleted.

 

Furthermore, if your Member account remains unused for a long period of time, it will be deleted by tested4you. Thus, your Member account will only remain active for two years after your last connection to the Service: if you do not use your Member account for two years after your last connection, without deleting it, your personal information will be kept until this date.

 

A few weeks before this deadline, as well as at this deadline, we will contact you again at the e-mail address you have given us, in order to ask you whether your account should be maintained or deleted.

 

In the absence of a response from you, all your content and information will be permanently anonymized or deleted.

 

In this way, we irretrievably anonymize all data that can be anonymized, so that it can be used exclusively for statistical purposes (in particular, to analyze the frequency of use of the Service's functionalities). Data that cannot be anonymized, such as the videos you post, are permanently deleted.

 

In the case of data concerning deceased persons, unless tested4you has been informed, such data will be permanently anonymized or deleted, unless tested4you has been informed of special instructions.

 

8. Security and privacy

 

We have taken all appropriate organizational and technical measures, as well as all useful precautions to preserve the security of the information described above, in particular, against any accidental loss, deformation, alteration and against any unauthorized access, use, modification or disclosure. In this way, we ensure the integrity and availability of the data we process at all times.

 

To achieve this, we use rigorously selected specialist technical service providers, who ensure the security, protection, storage and retrieval of the data entrusted to them.

 

The contractual clauses binding us to these service providers have been drawn up with this in mind, to comply with the legal principles governing the hosting of personal data. Data is hosted within the European Union. Where processing is carried out by service providers located outside the European Union, guarantees have been taken: either the service providers are located in a country whose level of protection has been deemed adequate by the European Commission, or standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission have been signed with these service providers.

 

From a technical standpoint, a set of strict and appropriate technical processes and devices enables us to :

 

  • ensure restricted access to data through strict access control and authentication;

 

  • prevent the possibility of data piracy;

 

  • ensure effective encryption of this data, in particular during transmission using SSL encryption;
  • guarantee the physical security of processed information. Information is stored on secure servers. Finally, on an internal level, we rely not only on an internal organization that specifically integrates the protection of personal data, but also on a strict contractual framework to ensure its effective Clauses in staff employment contracts have been strengthened in this respect.

 

9. Terms and exercise of rights

 

In accordance with Articles 39 and 40 of the French Data Protection Act of January 6, 1978, as well as the provisions arising from the RGPD, you have the right to access, rectify, update, limit, portability and delete your personal data.

 

You can exercise your rights by writing to tested4you, 78A rue principale 68440 BRUEBACH, specifying "informatique et libertés" in the subject line, or by e-mail, if possible, to privacy@tested4you.com.

 

As required by law, we will then be obliged to ask you for proof of identity in order to verify the identity of the owner of the data at the origin of the request.

 

In accordance with the provisions of article 38 of the aforementioned law, you may also refuse to allow us to process your data, subject to a legitimate reason. Simply contact us at the e-mail address given above.

 

In any event, we will do our best to answer any questions you may have concerning the processing of your personal data. Despite this, if you are not satisfied with the answers you receive, you may, if you wish, lodge a complaint with the CNIL in accordance with the procedures indicated on its website (https://www.cnil.fr).

 

Furthermore, we would like to point out that you yourself are required to comply with the aforementioned "Informatique et Libertés" law and the RGPD, the violation of which is punishable by criminal penalties. In the event, for example, that you wish to send us personal information on behalf of a third party, you must act in accordance with the law with regard to this data.

 

In particular, you must refrain from collecting or misusing any personal information to which you have access, and in general from any act likely to infringe the privacy or reputation of individuals.

 

10. Modification of the Privacy Policy

 

In the event that we make material changes to the content of this Privacy Policy, such changes will be announced by means of a notice prominently displayed on the Service and/or communicated to the e-mail address that you provided to us when you registered (or that you have since updated, as the case may be).

 

11. Use of social networks by Service Users

 

Our Service may include application buttons, enabling users to share content from our Application or their opinions via social networks. These include "share", "like", "g+1" and "tweeter" buttons from social networks such as Facebook and Twitter.

 

As soon as you are connected on your terminal to the social network(s) concerned, such application buttons are able to identify you, even if you do not use them when consulting our site. In addition, if you interact with these buttons while connected to the social network(s), for example by clicking on the "Like" button or leaving a comment, the corresponding information will be transmitted to the social network and published on your profile. We invite you to consult the privacy protection policies of these social networks in order to learn about the purposes for which they may use the browsing information they may collect via these application buttons, particularly for advertising purposes.
