COLLECTION OF PERSONAL DATA

How is personal data collected?
We are obliged to ask you for a certain amount of information, in order to organise our business dealings in the best way possible, and provide you with the service you expect when navigating our site.

We therefore ask for personal information at several points on the site, in particular:
- when you subscribe to a service
- when you download a programme
- when you register for a prize draw, competition or promotion
- when you sign up to a discussion forum or chat room
- when you send us an e-mail
- when you reply to a survey or study via the site
NB: this is not an exhaustive list.

What sort of information may be asked for?

We may ask for the following information:
- name, surname, title
- e-mail address
- date of birth
- country
- postal address and telephone number

We have a duty to act in good faith towards visitors to our site and for this reason, we will not collect personal data without your knowledge.
When you provide us with personal information, you undertake to ensure that this information is complete and accurate.

What happens if a user does not wish to disclose certain information?

As required by the French Law of 6 January 1978, we inform you that your answers are optional (except where marked with an asterisk) and that your failure to provide certain information may simply lead to a lack of response on the part of Ski-Way, where the information provided is insufficient.

How can users amend their personal data?

Pursuant to Article 27 of the French Law on Information Technology and Civil Liberties of 6 January 1978, you have the right to access, amend and remove data concerning you.

You may exercise this right by writing to the following address:
Ski-Way FRANCE 
Route d'Ollainville
91 520 EGLY

What about personal information submitted by children?

Children may use our site and the services it provides under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian. The parent or guardian is required to agree to these provisions. When submitting personal data, it is the parent or guardian who must fill in the registration form.

PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA

In what ways are we likely to use your data?

Your personal data may be used in three different ways:

Statistical studies

We compile, study and compare our users’ personal data to establish a detailed profile of our users, and thereby adapt our service to better meet their requirements. These statistical studies are strictly confidential and remain the exclusive property of Ski-Way. They are not disclosed to third parties.

Follow-up of customer relations

If you have sent us a message, your data is stored and used to reply to your request and to ensure continuity for future contacts.

Provision of services

If at the time when you submit personal data you have clearly indicated that you wish to receive services, information or special offers from Ski-Way by e-mail or by post, these will be sent to you at regular intervals. Ski-Way is the sole entity authorised to send you such direct mail.

Is your information transmitted to third parties?

We undertake never to disclose any of your personal data to third parties, except with your express authorisation (which will be requested when collecting or transferring data from you), or in very specific circumstances, such as those described below.

Statistical analysis of site use

We may combine personal information about our users with data held by third parties (advertisers, business partners, sponsors, etc). Said information shall be disclosed on the strict basis of confidentiality agreements, and any personal information disclosed shall be compiled in an anonymous, statistical form (e.g. 45% of our users are aged 35 and under.)

Special circumstances

We may have to disclose confidential information in special circumstances, in particular in cases of legal necessity and/or judicial request, in order to comply with current statutory and regulatory provisions and/or any judicial order.

What rights do you have to prevent the disclosure of your data?

We will inform you, at the time when the data is collected or transferred, if your personal information is liable to be disclosed to a third party, and you will always have the option to prohibit said disclosure by ticking the appropriate box.

What are we doing to combat the loss or fraudulent use of your information?

It is at present impossible to guarantee that data submitted on the internet or by e-mail will be 100% secure. Therefore, although we take every possible measure to protect your personal information, it is not possible for us to ensure or guarantee that information submitted to us in this way will be secure. You therefore submit said information at your own risk. Upon receipt of your data, we will make every effort to ensure that it is secure within our systems.

If, when using certain services, you create a user profile, we recommend that you do not disclose your password to anyone. Ski-Way will never ask for your password over the telephone or via an unsolicited email. You should remember to log out of your Ski-Way account and close your web browser at the end of each work session. In this way you will avoid giving other users access to your personal information and correspondence if you share your computer with other users, or if you work in a public place such as a library or internet café.

SITE CONTENT

What are cookies and what purpose do they serve?

We wish to inform you that when you access our site, a cookie will be stored on the hard drive of your computer. This is a small computer file designed to record your navigation of our site.

Cookies allow you to be identified, enabling you to access more rapidly information that you have entered on previous occasions and avoid having to re-enter such information. Under no circumstances can they damage the data that is already stored on your computer.

Cookies are also useful to us in measuring user numbers (frequency of site use, most-visited pages, numbers of participants in our promotions, prize draws and competitions) and in adapting our service to meet your requirements more fully.

You can prevent this cookie being stored on your hard disk by deactivating this function in your web browser. Naturally, once this function has been deactivated, you will still be able to access the site, but without the benefit of being able to personalise it.

Can you use the content of the Ski-Way site for private purposes?

Any full or partial representation of this site, by whatsoever means, without the express authorisation of Ski-Way, is therefore prohibited and would constitute an infringement.

This provision likewise applies to the databases appearing on the http://www.ski-way.com/ site, which are protected.

All brand names, services and programmes contained or referred to on the site are registered trademarks and therefore protected.

Penalties

We reserve the right to require the immediate removal of any citation which is not in line with the spirit of the site and/or which is likely to damage Ski-Way, at our sole discretion.

What are hypertext links?

The hypertext links set up on this site can transfer you to the sites of our business partners or sponsors.

Creation of an internal hypertext link

Prior written authorisation from Ski-Way shall be required for all links to the http://www.ski-way.com/ site.

The authorisation to create a link shall be valid for all forms of media, with the exception of those that distribute information of a political, religious, pornographic or xenophobic nature or that a majority of the public would find offensive. Under the terms of this authorisation, we reserve the right to lodge an objection.

Liability relating to external hypertext links

In respect of external sites to which there are links from the site http://www.ski-way.com/ site, Ski-Way shall not be liable either for the content of these sites or for technical risks arising from these sites. By agreeing to use a hypertext link to access an external site, you accept the risks associated therewith and any potential direct or indirect loss.

In the event that the content of a referenced site causes damage to a third party, the latter should inform Ski-Way thereof as soon as possible so that Ski-Way can withdraw the pages containing harmful content.

Ski-Way would remind you, however, that any action designed to end an unlawful nuisance must be in proportion to the intended aim. Victims must ensure, at the risk of incurring civil liability, that their requests to remove a site reference are effectively aimed at ending the nuisance in question.

For all information, suggestions and reactions concerning this site, write to:

Ski-Way FRANCE - Route d'Ollainville - 91 520 EGLY

What should you do if you can no longer access all or part of the site?

Because there are inherent difficulties in internet operation, we decline all responsibility in the event of problems with accessing our site or interruptions in connection.

We reserve the right to amend or remove any content, service or promotion offered on this site, without prior notice. Our liability shall not be incurred by said action.

For what is Ski-Way liable?

Under no circumstances shall Ski-Way be held liable for any damage, whether direct or indirect, irrespective of type, resulting from the use of its Internet site.
