In accordance with the French Data Protection Act N° 78-17 of 6th January 1978, as amended and in the version currently in force, and with the General Data Protection Regulation, adopted by the European Parliament on 27th April 2016, and with the resulting laws and regulations, this charter sets out the BGC VINS RARES policy on privacy, the collection of personal data and cookies. 

It can be viewed on our homepage and at any other place where you are asked to provide personal information.  

 

1. Definition and nature of personal data 

The term “personal data“ means all the data used to identify you directly or indirectly such as surnames, first names, pseudonyms, date of birth, postal and email addresses, telephone numbers, and so on.  

 

2. Right to access, rectify, delete, transfer and block the processing of personal data 

At any time, you may access, rectify, delete, transfer or block the processing of your personal data. You can also block your personal data being processed for the purposes of canvassing, and commercial canvassing in particular. 

To exercise your rights, send your request, accompanied by a valid proof of identity, to: BGC VINS RARES - Madame La Responsable de la Protection des Données – 9 chemin de Bellevue, Villars 63870 ORCINES (France) or to rgpd@bgcvinsrares

  

3. Management of Personal Data  

During your visit to the bgcvinsrares.com website and for the purpose of finalising your order, we collect your personal data via a form to be filled in and a check box to be confirmed once you have read this Data Privacy Charter. 

These data are collected for one or more of the specific purposes listed below:  

  • To create your customer accounts and to build a strong customer relationship; G
  • To manage your requests to access, rectify or block the processing of your personal data; 
  • To inform you about new products, via information letters and promotional offers;
  • To manage your subscriptions and subscription cancellations; 
  • To develop sales statistics in order to better meet your needs and expectations; 
  • To be kept in legal documents in compliance with accounting standards, and for the required legal duration. 

Personal data are stored in compliance with current laws and regulations for a maximum period of three years as from termination of the commercial relationship.  

At the end of this period, we will contact you to find out whether you wish to continue receiving our sales information; by default, the data will be archived or destroyed. 

The personal data collected are intended for BGC VINS RARES and can be accessed by our internal Accounting and Communications Departments and by our IT subcontractor. 

  

4. Protection and confidentiality of collected personal data 

BGC VINS RARES agrees to take every useful technical and organisational measure with regard to the nature of the data and the risks involved in their processing, so as to prevent said data being distorted, destroyed, damaged or accessed by unauthorised third parties. 

Likewise, we strongly suggest that you do not communicate your login and password to third parties, that you always log out of your user profile and customer account (especially where linked accounts are concerned), that you close your browser window at the end of your session, especially if you are accessing the Internet via a shared computer, and that you never save your login and password in your browser.  In this way, you will prevent other users from accessing your personal data.
