1.5. What are your rights?
You have a right of access, rectification, erasure, limitation and objection with regard to processing of your Personal Data, as well as the right to define guidelines regarding what happens to your data after your death and the right to portability of your Personal Data, by submitting your request to the addresses given in the “Contact Us” section, and as provided under the Data Protection Legislation. You should indicate which right you wish to exercise as well as all necessary information in order to enable us to respond to your request.
Exercise of these rights occurs under the terms provided by the Data Protection Legislation.
-The right of access means that you may, at any time, request to be informed as to whether we are processing any Personal Data concerning you, and, where that is the case, what Personal Data are involved, as well as the characteristics of the processing activities carried out.
-The right of rectification means that you may request rectification of your Personal Data where they are incorrect. You may also request, where your Personal Data are incomplete, that they be completed insofar as it is relevant to the purpose of the processing activity in question.
-The right to erasure means that you may request erasure of your Personal Data, particularly where: (i) they are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected (ii) your Personal Data are processed on the basis of your consent, you wish to withdraw consent and there is no other legal ground for the processing (iii) you object to the processing of your Personal Data and wish therefore to have them deleted (iv) your Personal Data have been unlawfully processed; (v) your Personal Data must be deleted to meet a legal obligation provided either under French or European Union law.
-The right of limitation means that you may request that we carry out limited processing of your Personal Data (i) where you dispute the accuracy of your Personal Data, for a period of time enabling us to verify the accuracy of said Data, (ii) where, following processing shown to be non-compliant, you prefer limited processing to full deletion of your Personal Data (iii) we no longer need your Personal Data for the purposes of processing but you still need them for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; (iv) where you have objected to the processing of your Personal Data and you wish to limit processing for the period of time required to verify whether the legitimate reason you present is indeed justified. Limited processing means that processing of your Personal Data will be understood as only storage of the corresponding Personal Data. We will not then carry out any other operation involving the Personal Data in question.
-The right to objection means that you may object to the processing of your Personal Data, where such processing is based on the pursuit of A.P.C.’s legitimate interests. The right of objection may be exercised where a legitimate reason concerning your particular situation may be proven.

Where your Personal Data are processed for purposes of commercial prospection, you may object at any time to processing of your Personal Data for this purpose.
-The right to define guidelines regarding what happens to your data after your death allows you to make known your instructions concerning your Personal Data and how they are kept, deleted and communicated after your death.
-The right to portability means that you may receive, on your request, and according to the Data Protection Legislation, your Personal Data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, or, on your request, have them communicated directly to a third-party of your choice, where this is legally and technically possible.
Where we process your Personal Data on the basis of your consent, you are able to withdraw your consent at any time by contacting the addresses given in the “Contact Us” section or by clicking on the unsubscribe link in each of our marketing communications.
