BAUDOUIN PRIVACY POLICY
Personal information is any information that could be used to identify you or another individual.
We may collect personal information from you in a number of different ways, you may share that information with us or we may collect it using other means.
Information you share with us
We may collect personal information that you share with us when you contact us or interact with us through our website, apps, email, phone or otherwise.
You can decide not to provide certain information, or ask that any information you have previously shared is removed.
Through these interactions you may share with us: your name, address, e-mail address, contact number and financial information. You may also share details of other people, in those circumstances, you will need to check with that person that they are happy for you to share their personal information with us, and for us to use it in accordance with this privacy policy.
Information from your online interactions
We collect and handle information from all visitors to our website, whether you actively provide us with that information or merely browse our website. The information we collect includes the internet protocol (IP) address of the device you are using, the browser software you use, your operating system, the date and time of access, the internet address of the website from which you link through to our website and information on how you use our websites.
We use this information so that we can see how long our websites take to load, how they are used, the number of visitors to the different sections of our websites, and what information visitors look at most.
We may also collect and handle information about how you engage with any news, promotional campaigns and advertising online, outside of our own websites; for example, on Google, YouTube or on social media.
That information is, predominantly, collected through our use of cookies and similar technologies.
Cookies
When you use our websites we may also use information collected by cookies.
“Cookies” are small text files that websites save onto your device via your web browser. They’ve been around since the mid-1990’s and are one of the most widely used technologies on the internet.
Some cookies that we use will collect personal information about you. Any personal information that is collected will be used in accordance with this privacy policy. By continuing to use our websites, you accept that cookies may be set on your device.
Please note that we do not currently respond to Do Not Track (DNT) signals.
Email Communications
As a viewer of our site, products or services, we may periodically send you communications by e-mail as long as you are happy for us to do so. We would also like to keep you posted on anything that’s happening which we think you might like to know about; whether it’s our latest news, offers or upcoming events and we want to make sure you’re happy with the communications you receive from us.
We may collect information about how you engage with our e-mails; including whether they are delivered to you, whether you open them, whether you choose to learn more, for example by clicking on a link within our e-mail, and if you ask us not to contact you anymore.
We may use that information to make sure that we stop sending you communications when you ask us to. We also use it to make our e-mails as interesting as possible by providing you with content and experiences that we think you may be interested in based on how you have engaged with our previous e-mails. You have the right to object to our use of your information for this purpose (see the section below titled ‘Your controls and choices’).
Social Media
We may also interact with you on social media. You may use social media to contact us or to let people know what you think about us. We may review publicly available social media and online sites to get a better understanding of what people are saying about us, our products, technology and services and to assist those who prefer to contact us through social media.
The information we collect from social media and online sites sometimes includes personal information that has been posted online and is publicly available. We make sure any information we use is properly credited to its source or is made anonymous.
These online and social media sites may have their own privacy policies explaining how they use and share your personal information. You should carefully review those privacy policies before you use these sites to make sure that you are happy with how your personal information is being collected and shared.

How do we protect your personal information?
We are committed to protecting your personal information. We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information and privacy. We protect your personal information using a combination of physical and IT security controls, including access controls that restrict and manage the way in which your personal information and data is processed, managed and handled. Our procedures mean that we may occasionally request proof of identity before we share your personal information with you.
In the unlikely event that we do suffer a security breach which compromises our protection of your personal information and we need to let you know about it, we will do so.
Data transfers, storage and the global handling of your personal information
Our company is headquartered in France.
We collect personal information in the country in which you live. Those third parties that we share your personal information with may handle or transfer your personal information outside of France, and outside of the EEA, to other countries in which they have facilities.
We will make sure that both any transfer of your personal information by us or by the third parties that we share your personal information with, and our handling of your personal information, complies with those laws which apply to us. In any case, our transfer, storage and handling of your personal information will continue to be governed by this privacy policy.
By using our website, you agree to us transferring, storing and handling your personal information in this way.
Children
Our website and services are not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children.
If you are a child, please do not attempt to provide us with any personal information. If we learn that we have inadvertently obtained personal information from a child, we will delete that information as soon as possible.
If you are aware of a child who has provided their personal information to us, please contact us using our contact form.
Changes to this privacy policy
If we change our privacy policy, we will post the details of the changes on our website. If we have your e-mail address, we may also e-mail you with information on those changes. If we need to, we will also ask you to confirm that you are happy with those changes.
We stand behind the commitments we have made. We will never change our policies and practices in a way that will offer less protection for personal information than we already have about you without your consent.
