4. WHAT ARE YOUR RIGHTS?

You have a number of rights regarding your data. You can exercise these rights by sending a letter enclosing proof of identity to:

EIGHT ADVISORY AVOCATS
Data Protection Officer
37 rue la Boétie
75008 Paris

Or by email to [email protected].

If EIGHT ADVISORY AVOCATS has reasonable doubt as to the identity of the natural person submitting the request referred to in relation to the rights described below EIGHT ADVISORY AVOCATS may request the provision of the necessary supplementary information to confirm the identity of the person (a copy of their identity card for example).

We inform you that no payment is required to exercise your rights as described below. However, if a person’s requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive, in particular due to their repetitive nature, EIGHT ADVISORY AVOCATS may:
• Demand the payment of reasonable expenses factoring in the administrative costs incurred to provide information, send communications or take the requested measures; or
• Refuse to grant these requests.

We will reply to your request within one month of receipt of your request. Taking into account the complexity and number of the requests this period may be extended by two further months. EIGHT ADVISORY AVOCATS will inform you of any such extension within one month of receipt of the request, together with the reasons for the delay.

4.1. Right to object to processing of your data

In the event of direct marketing you can object to processing of your data without stating your grounds. If you have agreed to receive direct marketing messages from EIGHT ADVISORY AVOCATS and/or its partners you can always change your mind later on and object to receiving future messages, free of charge and without stating your grounds. If you have agreed to cookies being placed on your device you can also object to this later on, again free of charge and without stating your grounds. If you exercise your right to object EIGHT ADVISORY AVOCATS will no longer process your data for direct marketing purposes.

You are also informed that you can sign up for the BLOCTEL cold call blocking service free of charge. For more information please visit the website www.bloctel.gouv.fr.

In addition to objecting to the processing of your data for direct marketing purposes you can also object, on legitimate grounds, to your personal data being processed by EIGHT ADVISORY AVOCATS. If you exercise this right to object EIGHT ADVISORY AVOCATS will then no longer process your personal data unless there are compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms (for example the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims).

4.2. Right of access to your data

You can ask EIGHT ADVISORY AVOCATS directly for information about processing operations concerning you and data held on you. To exercise your right of access you must prove your identity by providing a supporting document.

Exercising your right of access may not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

4.3. Right to have your data rectified

If information held by EIGHT ADVISORY AVOCATS is inaccurate you can request that it be rectified. You also have the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement.

If this right is exercised EIGHT ADVISORY AVOCATS will communicate any rectification of data to each recipient to whom your data have been disclosed, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.

4.4. Right to have your data erased (right to be forgotten)

You have the right to obtain from EIGHT ADVISORY AVOCATS the erasure of your data where there are grounds laid down by law, such as the uselessness of the data or the withdrawal of your consent for processing operations based thereon, if you object to processing for direct marketing purposes or if you object to processing for another purpose and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing.

If this right is exercised EIGHT ADVISORY AVOCATS will communicate any erasure of data to each recipient to whom your data have been disclosed, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.

EIGHT ADVISORY AVOCATS may, however, store some of your data in the form of intermediate archives for the length of time necessary to comply with, in particular, our legal, accounting and tax obligations.

4.5. Right to the restriction of processing of your data

You have the right to obtain the restriction of processing by EIGHT ADVISORY AVOCATS where one of the following applies:
– If you contest the accuracy of your data, for a period enabling us to verify it;
– If the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the data and request the restriction of their use instead;
– If EIGHT ADVISORY AVOCATS no longer needs your data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by you for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims;
– If you have objected to processing based on the legitimate interest of the controller, pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override yours.

If this right is exercised EIGHT ADVISORY AVOCATS will communicate any restriction of processing implemented to each recipient to whom your data have been disclosed, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.

4.6. Right to the portability of your data

You have the right to request the portability of your data. This enables you to receive data in a digital format. This right applies only to cases where the processing is carried out by automated means and on the basis of your consent or the performance of a contract.

4.7. Automated decisions and profiling

EIGHT ADVISORY AVOCATS will not take any decision relating to you, based solely on automated processing, which produces legal effects concerning you or which may significantly affect you.

The only ‘profiling’ carried out by EIGHT ADVISORY AVOCATS consists in the analysis of your data concerning your personal preferences or interests and your location. This information may be taken into account for the purposes of automatically sending customized communications. You can always object to this profiling.

4.8. Right to give instructions on what should happen to your data in the event of your death

You have the right to define general or specific instructions in relation to the storage, erasure and disclosure of your data after your death, stating how you want these rights to be exercised. These instructions may appoint a person responsible for carrying them out, otherwise your heirs will be appointed. You may give EIGHT ADVISORY AVOCATS specific instructions. In the absence of any instructions your heirs may contact EIGHT ADVISORY AVOCATS.

If such instructions are general and concern all the personal data concerning you they may be filed with a trusted digital third party which is certified by the French Data Protection Authority (Commission nationale de l’informatique et des libertés).

4.9. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, such as the French Data Protection Authority (CNIL) in France.
