Welcome to ecolem.fr!

The purpose of this privacy policy (the " Policy ") is to formalize our commitment to respect the privacy of users of the website. www.ecolem.fr.

As part of the provision of our site, we process your personal data in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 of 27 April 2016 ("GDPR ") and under the conditions set out below.

To complete your purchase, you must provide your billing and payment details, namely:

2. How do we protect your personal data?

We have implemented technical and organizational security measures to ensure the security, integrity, and confidentiality of all your personal data, to prevent it from being distorted, damaged, or accessed by unauthorized third parties. We ensure an appropriate level of security, taking into account the current state of knowledge, implementation costs, and the nature, scope, context, and purposes of processing, as well as the risks and their likelihood.

However, it is specified that as no security measure is infallible, Ecole M cannot guarantee absolute security for your personal data.

Unless a third party asks you to accept its own privacy policy and terms of use, third-party companies that have received your personal data have committed to processing your personal data solely for the purpose of providing the services.
