Personal information – Information notice
The person responsible for the processing of personal data is the company VINCI, identified above.
The purpose of the processing of personal data is:
– for “Contact” sections, to process the request;
– for subscriptions to Fabrique de la Cité news, to manage them.
The processing of personal data is based on the consent of the persons concerned, who have the right to withdraw their consent at any time.
The provision of personal data is optional except for the departments referred to above, which can only process such requests or provide the services requested if personal data is provided.
The information that we gather is intended exclusively for VINCI’s Communications Department. VINCI itself undertakes not to transfer users’ personal data to third parties; however VINCI may provide users’ personal data to any legal or judicial authority that requests it to do so.
Visitors to this site are informed and agree that information (in the form of cookies) may be temporarily installed on their computer, tablet or mobile phone, in order to facilitate browsing on the site, to send them services suitable for their terminal (computer, mobile or tablet) and to produce visitor statistics. Users are free to refuse such cookies by configuring their browser, by clicking here.
Personal data are kept:
– for “Contact” sections, for the time necessary to process the request;
– for subscriptions to Fabrique de la Cité news, for the duration of the subscription (subscriptions can be cancelled at any time).
Any personal data that a user may provide to VINCI are subject to the provisions of the Data Protection Law no. 78-17 of 6 January 1978, as amended.
This gives users a right to access, correct and delete personal information concerning them, and subject to the legal conditions, a right to object to or restrict processing concerning them, which can be exercised at any time by writing to: VINCI, Data Protection Officer, 1 cours Ferdinand de Lesseps, F-92851 Rueil-Malmaison Cedex, France.
Users also have a right to make a complaint to a regulatory authority if they think that the processing of their data constitutes a breach of the applicable legislation.
Users acknowledge that it is impossible to guarantee the total security of data transmitted via the internet. All users should therefore think carefully about the information that they publish on the Site, and particularly any personally identifiable information.
Information about use of cookies
What is a cookie?
What are the cookies on our site used for?
Your choices concerning cookies
When you visit our website www.thecityfactory.com, information is likely to be recorded in the “Cookies” installed on your computer, tablet or mobile telephone. This page is designed to help you understand what a cookie is, what it is used for and how you can change the settings.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file stored, with your permission, on your device (computer, mobile or tablet) when you visit a website or click on an ad. It is used to collect information about your browsing actions and send you services adapted to your device (computer, mobile or tablet).
Cookies are managed by your browser; only the entity issuing a cookie can read or modify the information contained in it.
A cookie does not identify you personally; it identifies the browser on your device.
What are the cookies on our site used for?
Three types of cookie addressing the purposes described above can be installed on your device when you visit our website:
1. Technical cookies are necessary to browse our website and access the different products and services. Technical cookies are used to recognise you and indicate your visit to one of its pages, and in this way enhance your browsing comfort by adapting the presentation of the site to the display preferences of your device (language used, display resolution) and memorising the passwords and other information contained in a form you have filled out on the site (registration or access to the members space). Technical cookies also enable use of security measures (as for instance when you are asked to connect again to the members space after a certain lapse of time). These cookies cannot be deactivated or reset without the risk of you being denied access to the site and/or the services on it.
2. Audience-measurement cookies are installed by us or our technical service providers for the purpose of measuring the audience using the different content and rubrics on our site to enable better assessment or organisation of this content and rubrics. These cookies may also allow us to detect browsing problems and hence improve the ergonomics of our services. These cookies produce only anonymous statistics and visitor volumes, to the exclusion of any personal information. The lifespan of these audience-measurement cookies does not exceed 13 months.
3. “Social media” cookies allow users to share the content on our site with other people, and let these other people know that they have viewed content on the site or their opinion on this content. This is the case, in particular, for the “share” and “like” buttons on social media such as “Facebook” or “Twitter”. A social media network that provides this type of application button can identify you from this button, even if you have not used it when visiting our site. We advise you to consult the private protection policies of these social media networks to find out about the uses, notably advertising, of the browsing information they may collect thanks to these application buttons. The lifespan of these cookies does not exceed 13 months.
