However, via the Site you transmit data relating to your means of payment, including by credit card (bank references, name of the owner of the account, card number, expiration date, etc.) (payment data).

The Company uses the e-commerce solution PayPal (the Payment Provider).

Credit card payments are processed by the Payment Provider in compliance with the PCI-DSS norms.  We do not have access to the credit card numbers.  For all credit card payments, the payment service provider uses a secure payment system; this is an SSL secure payment.  This payment protocol standard is recognized throughout the world for the protection of data transmitted over the internet.  It is available on practically all browsers.  The Personal Data which you provide relating to your credit card (number, end of validity date, CVM etc.) are encrypted prior to the sending of your post to the payment server.

We do not register and we do not request banking data, credit card data or banking card data.  External service providers carry out credit card payments.  Regarding such data, the general conditions and the privacy policy of the payment operator are solely applicable.

8. SOCIAL NETWORKS

Certain features (called plugins) offered by various third party social media platform providers (for example Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter) are incorporated into our Site. These plugins allow the Site users to share content available on social networks. If a plugin appears on the Site during a browsing session, an automatic link with the servers of said site is provided. By this means, the data relating to your visit to our Site may be sent to this third party provider.  If the User is identified at the same time on the network of said third party provider, the visit to our Site may then be linked to the User’s network account (for example Facebook). The Company has no influence over this type of data transfer. Please consult the information relating to data protection by your social network regarding the purpose and the extent of the collection of your data, the subsequent management and use of your Personal Data by said provider, as well as your rights and setting options in order to protect your privacy.

We also receive data relating to your profile when you use a function of the social network which is integrated into the Site (such as Facebook Connect) or when you interact with us via a social network.  In order to find out more about how we receive data regarding yourself from third party social networks or to cease sharing your data on said social networks, we invite you to read the conditions of use of the relevant social networks.
