Why do we process your personal data, and on what legal basis?

We process your personal data primarily for the following reasons:

  • to browse our website, use our services, and so that we can respond to your requests (e.g., requests for information, complaints, etc.) on the basis of our Terms of Use and our legitimate interest in providing you with the best possible service.
  • to keep you informed of our latest offers and events via email, based on our legitimate interest in retaining our customers and attracting new potential customers.

  • Send satisfaction surveys based on our legitimate interest in improving our services.

How did we obtain your personal data?

Your data is collected directly from you when you are a customer of our services or a “simple” visitor to our website nown.co, and we commit to processing your data only for the reasons described above.

For professionals only, it is also possible that your personal data may be processed indirectly in the context of trade shows or social media (e.g., LinkedIn).

However, when you voluntarily post content on the pages we manage on social media, you acknowledge that you are fully responsible for any personal information you may share, regardless of the nature or source of the information provided.

What personal data do we process and for how long?

We have summarized below the categories of personal data and their respective retention periods:

  • For individuals, personal identification data (e.g., last name, first name) and contact information (e.g., email address) are retained for the duration of the service provision, plus the applicable statutory limitation periods, which are generally 5 years.
  • For professionals, personal identification data (e.g., last name, first name, job title, company, department, etc.) and contact information (e.g., email address and work phone number, etc.) are retained for the entire duration of the service provision, plus the applicable statutory limitation periods, which are generally 5 years.
  • For individuals, economic and financial data (e.g., bank account number, verification code, etc.) are retained for the period necessary to complete the transaction and manage billing and payments, plus the applicable statutory limitation periods, which are generally 5 to 10 years.
  • For businesses, when there is confusion between your business name and your personal name (e.g., sole proprietor, microbusiness, etc.), economic and financial data (e.g., bank account number, verification code, etc.) is retained for the duration necessary to complete the transaction and manage billing and payments, plus the applicable statutory limitation periods, which are generally 5 to 10 years.
  • Phone number used in connection with our telephone sales prospecting campaigns is retained for a maximum of 3 years from the last contact we had with you.
  • Email addresses used in our email-based sales prospecting campaigns are retained for a maximum of 3 years from the date of our last contact with you.
  • Data provided in your resume and cover letter is retained for the duration of the recruitment process and then for 2 years from the date of your application.
  • Connection data (e.g., logs, IP address, etc.) is retained for a period of 1 year.
  • Cookies are generally retained for a maximum of 13 months.
  • Voice recordings of telephone conversations are retained for a maximum of 6 months, with the exception of calls used to substantiate the conclusion of a contract, which are retained in such cases for the statutory limitation periods, which are generally 5 years.

Upon expiration of the applicable retention periods, the deletion of your personal data is irreversible, and we will no longer be able to provide it to you after this period. At most, we may only retain anonymous data for statistical purposes.

Please also note that in the event of a dispute, we are required to retain all personal data concerning you for the entire duration of the case, even after the expiration of the retention periods described above.

What rights do you have to control the use of your personal data?

Applicable data protection regulations grant you specific rights that you may exercise at any time and free of charge to control how we use your data.

  • The right to access and obtain a copy of your personal data, provided that such a request does not conflict with trade secrets, confidentiality, or the secrecy of correspondence.
  • Right to rectify personal data that is inaccurate, outdated, or incomplete.
  • Right to object to the processing of your personal data for marketing purposes, as well as to processing based on our legitimate interest, unless legitimate and compelling reasons justify such processing and override your interests, rights, and freedoms.
  • For consumers only, the right to register for free on the Bloctel do-not-call list at www.bloctel.gouv.fr.
  • Right to request the erasure (“right to be forgotten”) of your personal data that is not essential to the proper functioning of our services.
  • Right to restrict the processing of your personal data, which allows you to document the use of your data in the event of a dispute regarding the legitimacy of such processing.
  • Right to data portability, which allows you to retrieve a portion of your personal data in order to easily store or transfer it from one information system to another.
  • Right to provide instructions regarding the disposition of your data in the event of your death, either directly by you, through a trusted third party, or through a beneficiary.

For a request to be considered, it must be submitted directly by you or your representative to privacy@nown.co.

Requests cannot be made by anyone other than you or your representative. We may therefore ask you to provide proof of identity if there is any doubt regarding the identity of the requester, as well as proof of representation.

We will respond to your request as soon as possible, with a maximum response time of one month from receipt, unless the request is technically complex or we receive a large number of requests at the same time. In such cases, the response time may be up to three months.

Please note that we may refuse to respond to any excessive or unfounded request, particularly if it is repetitive in nature.

Who has access to your personal data?

Your personal data is processed by our teams and our technical service providers for the sole purpose of operating our service.

FURTHERMORE, WE GUARANTEE THAT WE NEVER TRANSFER OR SELL YOUR DATA TO THIRD PARTIES OR BUSINESS PARTNERS.

Furthermore, we do our utmost to use only technical tools whose servers are also located within the European Union. If this is not the case, we ensure that they implement the appropriate safeguards required to guarantee the confidentiality and protection of your personal data.

How do we protect your personal data?

We implement all necessary technical and organizational measures to ensure the security of your personal data on a daily basis and, in particular, to prevent any risk of destruction, loss, alteration, or disclosure.
