Thank you for visiting the Amélys website and reviewing its privacy policy (hereinafter the Policy).
By browsing our website or using our systems or services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy and consent to the processing of your personal data and information in accordance with this policy, where applicable.
This privacy policy is composed of the following elements:
Respect for privacy and the protection of personal information are essential to us, which is why, through this Policy, we intend to protect personal information in accordance with applicable laws.
To ensure this protection, Amélys will only collect, process and share personally identifiable information with the consent of the individual, unless permitted or required by law, in which case your consent will not be required.
The purpose of the Policy is to inform users of the purposes and manner in which Amélys, or anyone acting on its behalf, will collect and use their personal information. It is intended to be in plain language to ensure informed consent from users.
For the purposes of this Policy, "personal information" means any information about an identifiable individual or information that allows an individual to be identified.
This Policy applies from July 1st, 2023.
We prefer to obtain explicit consent, whether verbally, electronically, or in writing. However, implicit consent can be reasonably inferred from a person's action or inaction. For example, providing a name and address to receive a publication or a name and phone number to get a response to a query is considered implicit consent to collect information containing personal details. In determining the appropriate type of consent, we consider the sensitivity of the personal information involved, the purposes for which it is collected, and the reasonable expectations of a person in a similar situation.
It is not always possible, particularly in the context of a request from the state, to obtain an individual's consent to collect, use, or disclose their personal information. We commit to never disclose this type of information, other than in accordance with this Policy, unless required or permitted by law.
Personal information is collected in accordance with the purposes and objectives set out in this privacy policy.
Here are some of the reasons we collect your personal information:
Amélys may collect personal information in various forms, but will only do so through lawful means and solely for the necessary purposes that have been disclosed to you, as described in this Policy, or when permitted or required by law.
The personal information collected, as well as its sensitivity, may vary depending on the context of the interactions between you and Amélys. This is why it is our priority to inform you of the nature of the personal information we use.

Amélys attaches the utmost importance to the security of your personal information and undertakes to treat it in accordance with industry standards and norms, and solely for the purposes for which it is collected, as described in this policy or in a specific notice to that effect. However, given the security limitations inherent in transmission via the Internet, it is impossible to safeguard your personal information absolutely. Information transmitted to us is therefore ultimately at the user's own risk.
Amélys ensures that all personal information in its possession is as accurate, current and complete as necessary for the purposes for which it is to be used.
You have the right to request access to your personal information for verification purposes and to request a correction if your personal information is inaccurate. If you believe that your personal information is inaccurate, or if you wish to access your personal information, you may make a request using the contact information provided at the end of this Policy.
To the best of our ability, we will provide you with timely access to your personal information. However, for security reasons, we may need to verify your identity.
The user must make a request to limit the processing of his/her personal information to the data controller, by sending an e-mail to the address provided above.
The user must send an e-mail to the person responsible for processing personal information, specifying the subject of the request and using the personal information contact e-mail address provided on this page.
There may be circumstances where we will not be able to provide you with access to your personal information. For example, where access may lead to the disclosure of another person's personal information and that person refuses to consent to the disclosure, or where legal restrictions apply. If such a situation arises, we will advise you of the reason why we cannot provide you with access to your personal information.
If your request concerns data appearing on third-party web pages or platforms, please contact these third parties directly.
