Client privacy policy

This Policy is made in accordance with the provisions of Law n ° 78-17 of January 6, 1978 (known as the “Data Protection Act” or “LIL”) and of the General Regulations on the Protection of Personal Data (“RGDP”) n ° 2016/679.

What is this policy on the use of personal data?

This policy is addressed to customers of the company SEOPress.

It relates to the processing of personal data that is carried out as part of the subscription to the SEOPress Pro solution.

These treatments are of two different types:

  • There are personal data treatments that the company SEOPress, carries out as data controller (for example for the management of PRO subscriptions, or for the management of support service tickets, etc.);
  • But there are also personal data processing operations that the SEOPress company may be required to carry out as a subcontractor, or cascade subcontracting (for the corrective maintenance of the SEOPress Pro solution) on behalf of the customer.

This policy is therefore divided into two parts and will successively consider the two types of processing of personal data.

Policy on the use of personal data when the company SEOPress acts as data controller

What is a personal data controller?

According to the GDPR, a data controller is the person who, alone or jointly, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data.

The information on the identity of the controller is as follows:

SEOPress company, SAS with share capital of 1000 euros,

We implement security measures to protect your data, such as the HTTPS protocol. We regularly monitor our systems for possible vulnerabilities and attacks. However, this does not allow us to fully guarantee the security of your data.

The existence or not of a data transfer to a country outside the European Union and associated guarantees

However, SEOPress undertakes to ensure that these transfers are made:

Policy on the use of personal data when the company SEOPress acts as a subcontractor

What is a personal data processor?

A processor is, according to the GDPR, the person who, alone or jointly, processes personal data on behalf of a controller.

In certain cases, the subcontractor in turn subcontracts all or part of the processing operations to a subcontractor in cascade.

The SEOPress company as a subcontractor or cascading subcontractor

The SEOPress company performs data processing as part of the corrective maintenance of the SEOPress Pro solution.

When the SEOPress company carries out these treatments, it intervenes:

or, as a subcontractor, for your direct account. The website on which SEOPress operates is yours and you are then the data controller;
or, as a cascading subcontractor. The website on which SEOPress operates is your own client’s website. In this case, your client is generally the data controller with regard to the activities of the website and you deal with him as a subcontractor.

In both cases, you are with regard to the company SEOPress, the data controller (the company SEOPress having no direct link with your own client).

Consequently, the SEOPress company can only intervene on the personal data stored on the website, on which the SEOPress Pro solution, subject of corrective maintenance, is installed, on your sole instructions.

What are the treatment instructions you give us?

The purpose of the processing is the corrective maintenance of the SEOPress Pro solution, that is to say the correction of any bugs on a site following the configuration of the solution.

The intervention can also consist of assistance in setting up a feature.

It should be noted that, as part of this maintenance, the company SEOPress does not intervene on the personal data stored on the website. Only a possible consultation of data is carried out if this is necessary.

Your treatment instructions are as follows:

  • Connect to the back office of the website or to the server
  • Make the necessary fixes on the SEOPress plugin
  • Assist in setting up the plugin
  • Delete access data at the end of the maintenance operation

Data retention

Personal access data to the website (or to the server) are kept only for the time necessary to carry out maintenance.

What are your obligations as a Client?

The Client, in his capacity as Data Controller with regard to the company SEOPress, undertakes to comply with all the obligations incumbent on him in application of the Regulations on the protection of Personal Data, including, when it acts as a subcontractor, the instructions given to it by its end customer, and to pass them on to SEOPress without delay.

The Client undertakes to hold SEOPress harmless against any conviction as well as any financial consequences to which it may be exposed as a result of non-compliance with the obligations incumbent on the Client.

What are our obligations as a subcontractor or cascading subcontractor?

SEOPress undertakes to comply with all of the obligations incumbent on it in application of the regulations on the protection of personal data.

These obligations are specified below:

Compliance with processing instructions

The SEOPress company, as a subcontractor, undertakes to strictly comply with your written instructions regarding the use that may be made of Personal data. The company SEOPress refrains, in particular, from carrying out any processing of Personal data, which is not expressly requested within the framework of a written instruction.

Cascading subcontracting

SEOPress does not use any cascading subcontractor, unless expressly authorized by you.

When the SEOPress company uses another subcontractor to carry out specific processing activities on behalf of the professional, the same data protection obligations as those set here are imposed on this other subcontractor by contract, by particularly with regard to providing sufficient guarantees regarding the implementation of appropriate technical and organizational measures, so that the processing meets the requirements of the regulations and this policy.

When this other subcontractor does not fulfill its obligations in terms of data protection, the company SEOPress remains fully responsible to you for the performance by the other subcontractor of its obligations.

Duty of aid and assistance

The company SEOPress takes into account the nature of the processing and helps you, through appropriate technical and organizational measures, to fulfill your obligation to respond to the requests submitted to you by the persons concerned in order to exercise their rights provided for in Chapter III. of the GDPR.

The company SEOPress helps you to guarantee compliance with the obligations provided for in Articles 32 to 36, taking into account the nature of the processing and the information at our disposal.

The SEOPress company provides you with all the information necessary to demonstrate compliance with the obligations provided for here.

Audit

You may, at your expense, carry out or have carried out, by any service provider of your choice subject to professional secrecy, during the execution hereof, audits relating to compliance with the obligations of the company SEOPress in terms of processing personal data. This audit right is limited to one per year.

You agree to notify us in writing of any audit assignment with a minimum notice of ten (10) calendar days by informing us of the purpose of the assignment, the name of the expert, the planned duration of the assignment, being specified that this cannot exceed 4 days.

The auditor should cause a minimum of disruption in the activities of SEOPress.

A copy of the audit report prepared by the auditor will be given to each party and will be discussed jointly.

If this audit confirms a failure by the company SEOPress to meet its obligations, the latter will bear the costs of the audit and will implement, at its expense, the necessary corrective measures within thirty (30) working days of from the delivery of the audit report. Except for the above, you bear all costs incurred for audits. If no correction is made within the said period, you may terminate your membership of the platform for fault.

The company SEOPress will inform you as soon as possible, as soon as it becomes aware of it, if, in its opinion, an instruction constitutes a violation of the regulations relating to the protection of personal data.

Obligation of confidentiality

The SEOPress company ensures that the persons authorized to process the data undertake to respect confidentiality or are subject to an appropriate obligation of confidentiality.

Notification in case of personal data breach

The SEOPress company undertakes to notify you as soon as possible and, as soon as it becomes aware of it, of any breach or security breach affecting personal data and to provide you with the information necessary to enable you to inform the authority of control and, if necessary, the persons concerned.

Transfers of personal data outside the European Union

The SEOPress company may be required to carry out transfers of personal data outside the European Union.

However, SEOPress undertakes to ensure that these transfers are made:

to countries with a so-called adequate level of protection within the meaning of the European data protection authorities or
with appropriate guarantees in application of article 46 of the RGDP or
in compliance with Article 49 of the GDPR.

Security measures

The SEOPress company implements the appropriate technical and organizational measures in order to guarantee a level of security adapted to the risk.

The SEOPress company takes measures to ensure that any natural person acting under their authority or under that of the subcontractor, who has access to personal data, does not process them, except on the instruction of the SEOPress company, unless to have to.

Processing register

The SEOPress company keeps the subcontracting processing register at your disposal and communicates it on request.
