We analyze the personal data of our customers and prospects, both the data they have provided to us directly (including data relating to navigation on our website, subject to consent) or from third parties (subject to consent when necessary), to create algorithms that enable us to evaluate and/or predict their possible interests and preferences for our products (using scores and segmentation).

These analyses aim to provide you with personalized content, such as specific offers by email, content on our website or third-party sites, etc. This also enables us not to send you advertising offers if we understand that they will not match your interests.

The use of such tools is defined by regulation as profiling. We believe that it is in our legitimate interest to understand the preferences of our customers and prospects in order to provide them with content that corresponds to their needs or desires.

We have weighed up the respective interests and have put in place measures to ensure that your fundamental rights and freedoms are not infringed.

More information on this point is available on request.

If you do not want us to send you offers based on profiling processing, you can object by referring to the "how to exercise your rights" section.

HOW LONG WE KEEP YOUR DATA

In accordance with regulations, we undertake to keep your personal data only for as long as is necessary to achieve the objective pursued, to meet your needs, or to satisfy our legal obligations.
In order to determine this duration, we take into account the following elements in particular:
  • The time required to process your request or claim,
  • The length of time your user account is open, except in the case of inactivity for 3 years,
  • Your interest in our brand,
  • The need to keep a certain history of your interactions with us, for the proper management of our commercial relationship, this period varying in particular according to whether you have purchased a caterpillar, a service such as repair, or simply interacted with us,
  • Our legal or regulatory obligations (this is the case, for example, for the technical data of our snowblowers).
When we no longer need to use your personal data, it is deleted from our systems and records or rendered anonymous so that it can no longer be used to identify you. However, we may keep certain of your personal data on file in order to be able to respond to any legal action, for the duration of the statute of limitations provided for by the applicable legislation.

WHO HAS ACCESS TO YOUR PERSONAL DATA?

Within CHEMINÉES DE CHANGY and the members of its network, we ensure that only persons duly authorized to process your personal data by virtue of their functions and duties are permitted to do so.

We may, in certain cases, share some of your personal data with partners, who will use it for their own purposes. In such cases, these partners act as data controllers and their personal data processing policies apply to the shared data. We make sure to ask for your consent to such sharing where required by regulation, or at the very least to allow you to object.

We may also offer you the possibility of using your social network connection data. In this case, you share your profile information with us. The personal data shared depends on the configuration of the social network platform. Please note that these social networks apply their own privacy policies.

Finally, we may communicate your personal data to third parties in order to comply with any legal obligation or administrative or judicial decision.
