Personal data and protection policy

It is important to us at Groupe Rocher to emphasize our commitment to respecting the trust that you place in us and to applying the personal data protection regulations in force in France and the European Union.

This Personal Data Protection Policy sets out the conditions under which Groupe Rocher, as data controller, collects and uses your personal data. This Policy supplements the information brought to your attention when filling in our forms with your data.

This Policy applies to data collected by email, letter or telephone when you contact our various departments, or when you use our website or its mobile version. It concerns rules relating to the personal data of all of our clients and prospects, irrespective of the channels through which they are collected. 

It can be consulted by anyone and at all times at groupe-rocher.com

Please read it carefully and refer to it regularly.

In addition, the Groupe Rocher brands have their own personal data protection policies. Please consult each of these policies when browsing our various websites. 

For each processing operation, we collect and use only the relevant necessary data for the objective in question.

We use your data in order to pursue our legitimate interests, ensuring that your rights and interests are respected at all times, and where necessary based on your express consent. 

The length of time for which your personal data are stored depends on the purpose for which they are used.

The principal purposes for which we may process your personal data are the following:

In the framework of the purposes set out above, the recipients of your personal data are the duly authorized personnel of Groupe Rocher, of its service providers and of its subcontractors.

Your personal data may be communicated to one or more Groupe Rocher companies.

Your data may also be communicated to the competent authorities, either at their request or in order for us to fulfil other legal obligations.

We use appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data, notably encryption, anonymization, and the implementation of physical security procedures in order to ensure a level of security in line with the risks related to your personal data. We follow the best practices of the sector to ensure that your personal data are not accidentally or illicitly destroyed, lost, altered, or disclosed without authorization and that they are not accessed without authorization. 

We require our personnel and all third parties working for Groupe Rocher entities to respect strict standards of information safety and protection, including contractual obligations under which they undertake to protect all data and to apply strict measures in terms of the transfer of data.

We may transfer your data to a country located outside the European Union. 

When your data are transferred to a country outside the EEA, we always ensure that they are protected and that they have the same level of protection as that provided by us, in compliance with the protection granted in the jurisdiction in which the data are collected. To do that, we submit all transfers of your data to the appropriate and relevant protection measures.

There are various ways of doing this, for example:

  • the country to which we send the data may be approved by the European Commission or by the local data protection authority; 

  • the recipient may have signed a contract based on the "standard contractual clauses" approved by the European Commission, or by the local data protection authority, obliging it to protect your personal data; or

  • when the recipient is located in the United States, it may be a certified member of the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield system.

 

Under other circumstances, the law may authorize us to transfer your personal data to other jurisdictions, including outside the EEA, if applicable. However, in all cases, we will ensure that any transfer of your personal data respects currently applicable data protection legislation.

In accordance with the applicable regulations, you have various rights that you can exercise at any time:

You have the right to access, correct and delete your personal data, as well as the right to request the portability of the data that you have given us. 

You have the right to oppose the processing of your data for legitimate reasons, or to request the limitation of this processing.

You have the right to make provision for what happens to your personal data after your death.

To exercise any of your rights, send us an email to privacy@yrnet.com , or write to us at: Laboratoire de Biologie Végétale Yves Rocher - Group DPO, 7 chemin de Bretagne, 92130 Issy-les-Moulineaux, France. 

We will respond at the earliest possible opportunity and at the latest within one month of receipt of your full request. In the event of reasonable doubts regarding your identity, we may ask you for additional information (i.e. proof of your identity) in order to confirm your identity. We reserve the possibility to refuse requests that are manifestly unfounded or excessive. 

Groupe Rocher has appointed a Data Protection Officer (DPO) whose mission is to ensure respect of the applicable regulations and the rules set out in this Policy. 

For any questions or comments relating to the processing of your personal data, you can contact our DPO by email at privacy@yrnet.com, or by writing to us at: Laboratoire de Biologie Végétale Yves Rocher - Group DPO, 7 chemin de Bretagne, 92130 Issy-les-Moulineaux, France.

We undertake to do our utmost to respect your rights relating to your personal data. However, should you consider that these rights have not been respected, you have the possibility to file a complaint with the French Data Protection Authority (CNIL), which in France is tasked with ensuring that the personal data processing regulations are respected: www.cnil.fr
