Privacy Policy

Purpose of the Privacy Policy:

Respecting privacy and protecting personal information is essential to us. Therefore, through this Policy, we intend to safeguard them in accordance with applicable laws.

In order to ensure this protection, [Expressimmo Group] commits to collect, process, and share information that can identify an individual only when the individual has consented to it, unless permitted or required by law, in which case your consent will not be necessary.

The Policy aims to inform users of the reasons and the manner in which [Expressimmo Group], or anyone acting on its behalf, will collect and use their personal information. It is designed to be in plain language to ensure informed consent from users.

For the purposes of this Policy, "personal information" refers to all information about an identifiable person or information that can be used to identify a person. Whenever possible, we will anonymize, pseudonymize, and/or aggregate such information so that it no longer identifies an individual.

Effective Date

This Policy is effective as of [September 21, 2023].

This Policy replaces the Privacy Policy dated [September 21, 2023].

Consent Collection Procedures

We are committed to obtaining consent before collecting an individual's personal information. Consent can be explicit or implicit and can be provided directly by the individual or by their authorized representative.

We prefer to obtain explicit consent, whether verbally, electronically, or in writing. However, implicit consent may reasonably be inferred from an individual's actions or inaction. For example, providing a name and address to receive a publication or providing a name and phone number to get a response to a question is considered implicit consent to the collection of information containing personal information. To determine the appropriate type of consent, we consider the sensitivity of the personal information involved, the purposes for which it is collected, and the reasonable expectations of a person in a similar situation.

If we intend to use personal information for a new purpose, we will describe the intended use and seek consent again.

It is not always possible, especially in the case of a government request, to obtain an individual's consent to collect, use, or disclose their personal information. We commit to never disclose such information except in compliance with this Policy, unless required or permitted by law.

Processing Methods Used

[Expressimmo Group] places the utmost importance on the security of your personal information and is committed to processing it in accordance with industry standards and standards, only for the purposes for which it is collected as described in this policy or in a specific notice. However, the absolute safeguarding of this information is impossible due to the inherent security limitations of transmission over the Internet. Information transmitted to us is ultimately at the user's risk.

Access and Control of Personal Information

[Expressimmo Group] ensures that all personal information in its possession is as accurate, current, and complete as necessary for the purposes for which it is used.

You have the right to request access to your personal information for verification and to request correction if it is inaccurate. If you believe that your personal information is inaccurate or if you wish to access your personal information, you can make a request using the contact information provided at the end of this Policy.

To the extent of our means, we will provide you with timely access to your personal information. However, for security reasons, we may need to verify your identity.

Additionally, there may be circumstances where we cannot provide you with access to your personal information. In particular, when access may lead to the disclosure of another person's personal information and that person refuses to consent to the disclosure, or when legal restrictions apply. If such a situation arises, we will inform you of the reason why we cannot provide you with access to your personal information.

If your request concerns data appearing on web pages or platforms of third parties, please contact those third parties directly.

Sharing and Purpose of Sharing Personal Information with Third Parties

We do not share your personal information with companies, organizations, or individuals outside of [Expressimmo Group], except for our authorized suppliers and partners who need access to the information for the purposes listed in this policy and within its limits, as well as in the following cases:

With your consent.
For storage in cloud servers, in which case personal information may transit through third-party jurisdictions. Note that we only retain the services of reputable companies with privacy policies.
For external processing purposes: We may disclose personal information to other trusted companies or individuals who process it on our behalf, according to our instructions, in accordance with this privacy policy, with a level of data security at least equivalent to ours, and in compliance with any other appropriate security and privacy measures.

In particular, we use the services of third-party providers to share, clean, and analyze data in the culture sector so that they can enhance this data and create tools for the benefit of the public or sector stakeholders. To do this, these providers process the information provided as follows:

Data is first prepared and categorized for use.
Based on the prepared data, the provider creates overall statistics that contain general and non-personal information, sometimes combined with data from similar sources. These pooled data are then used to generate overall statistics, such as origin analyses (primarily via postal codes), as well as seasonality and pricing analyses (such as shopping cart types).
These data are then enriched by two different processes. The first is enrichment through the use of publicly available third-party data, such as socio-demographic data from the Census via postal codes. The second process is called inference enrichment. Inference enrichment involves deducing, for example, when purchasing a ticket at the "under 25" rate, that the individual in question is under 25.

For legal reasons: We may disclose personal information outside our company if access to such information is necessary to comply with applicable laws and regulations.

[Expressimmo Group] is committed to not selling or renting your personal information to third parties.

Retention of Personal Information

[Expressimmo Group] retains collected data for different periods depending on their nature and usefulness in providing our products and services. During the retention period, [Expressimmo Group] takes physical and technical measures to ensure the security of data containing personal information.

Personal information may be stored outside the country in which you reside if a third-party provider or another entity to whom we disclose personal information in accordance with this Policy is located outside the country. In such cases, personal information may be subject to the local laws of the countries or territories in which the information is collected, used, disclosed, or stored, and government authorities and law enforcement authorities in these countries or territories may have access to it.
