Users represent that they own the intellectual property rights in the Contributions or have obtained all permissions from the copyright owner of the Contributions provided for publication in all media published by the Publisher.
These rights, which are exploited directly by the Publisher, consist of all the rights of reproduction and representation of the Contribution on these media. This assignment is made on a worldwide basis and for the duration of copyright protection. The User warrants to the Publisher that he/she has not transferred any reproduction that may infringe the rights of third parties and give rise to actions based on counterfeiting, unfair competition, image rights, respect for privacy, civil liability or that may cause any disturbance whatsoever to the exploitation of the rights transferred.
Finally, the Contributions may be used by the Publisher on all media published by the latter.
6.1 The Publisher undertakes to use its best endeavours to comply with all legal and regulatory provisions relating to the protection of personal data and in particular the provisions of the European General Data Protection Regulation EU 2016/679 (GDPR) and those of the French Data Protection Act n°78-17 of 6 January 1978 as amended (LIL).
The Publisher undertakes to use its best endeavours to :
The Publisher undertakes not to transfer personal data to third parties except to its subcontractors who necessarily intervene to meet the purposes of the processing, in particular the computer tool allowing the submission of Contributions.
Personal data is hosted on servers located in the European Union. However, the Publisher may transfer your personal data to its subcontractor located outside the European Union. This transfer is governed by the European Commission's standard contractual clauses which ensure an adequate level of protection.
6.2 The Publisher keeps the User's identification data collected (excluding Published Contributions) for the duration of the contractual relationship and up to 3 years after the end of the contract.
The personal data is then archived in order to comply with the Publisher's legal obligations and deleted.
However, the retention periods indicated above do not apply to Contributions that may contain personal data published on the Publisher's media insofar as the processing is for journalistic purposes. As such, these Contributions will therefore be kept beyond the 3 years after the end of the Contract.
6.3 The Publisher reminds the User that he may exercise his rights of access, query, rectification, opposition, right to erasure, right to oblivion, right to limitation of processing and right to data portability with the Data Protection Officer (DPO) by sending him an email or by post. This information is available on the Publisher's website.
Nevertheless, proof of identity of the User may be requested only in case of reasonable doubt about his identity.
As the protection of personal data must be reconciled with the exercise of freedom of expression and information, the Publisher reserves the right to refuse to remove the Contributions published by the User, subject to justifying its decision.
6.4 - The French National Commission for Information Technology and Civil Liberties (CNIL) is the supervisory authority for compliance with the legal provisions on the protection of personal data. In the event of an unsatisfactory response from the Publisher, you may submit a complaint to the CNIL: https://www.cnil.fr/fr/plaintes.
