Under the European regulations in force, users of thecourt.fr have the following rights:

• the right to be informed about how The Social Media Agency LTD processes your personal data;
• the right of access (article 15 GDPR) and rectification (article 16 GDPR), and to have Users’ data updated and completed;
• the right to have Users’ personal data blocked or erased (article 17 GDPR) where it is inaccurate, incomplete, ambiguous or out of date, or where its collection, use, disclosure or storage is prohibited;
• the right to withdraw consent at any time (article 13(2)(c) GDPR);
• the right to restrict processing of Users’ data (article 18 GDPR);
• the right to object to processing of Users’ data (article 21 GDPR);
• the right to portability of the data Users have provided, where the data is processed by automated means based on consent or a contract (article 20 GDPR);
• the right to decide what happens to Users’ data after their death, and to choose whether thecourt.fr passes it on to a third party they have designated.

Once thecourt.fr learns of a User’s death, and without instructions from them, thecourt.fr will destroy their data, unless keeping it is needed as evidence or to meet a legal obligation.

If a User wants to know how thecourt.fr uses their Personal Data, to have it corrected, or to object to its processing, they can contact The Social Media Agency LTD by email at arthur@thecourt-agency.fr or by post at The Social Media Agency LTD, 32 Kinburn Street, SE16 6DW London.

In that case, the User must state which Personal Data they want thecourt.fr to correct, update or delete, and identify themselves precisely with a copy of an identity document (identity card or passport).

Requests to delete Personal Data are subject to thecourt.fr’s legal obligations, in particular on keeping or archiving documents. Users of thecourt.fr may also lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority in the European Union, in accordance with the GDPR.

7.6 Where personal data is stored

The Personal Data we process is hosted by Vercel (application) and Supabase (Postgres database). Both providers apply GDPR compliance measures. For more information see https://vercel.com/legal/dpa and https://supabase.com/legal/dpa.

To provide The Social Media Agency LTD’s services, we may transfer some of your Personal Data to trusted service providers located, or using servers, outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. In that case we make sure the provider is in a country covered by a European Commission adequacy decision, or we put appropriate safeguards in place (standard contractual clauses adopted by the European Commission) together with additional technical and organisational security measures (for example encryption) where needed.

7.7 Non-disclosure of personal data

thecourt.fr will not process, host or transfer Information collected about its Clients to a country outside the European Union, or one recognised as “not adequate” by the European Commission, without first informing the client. thecourt.fr nevertheless remains free to choose its technical and commercial subcontractors, provided they offer sufficient guarantees under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR, Regulation (EU) 2016/679). thecourt.fr undertakes to take every necessary precaution to keep the Information secure and, in particular, to prevent it from being disclosed to unauthorised persons. If thecourt.fr becomes aware of an incident affecting the integrity or confidentiality of the Client’s Information, it will inform the Client as soon as possible and tell them what corrective measures have been taken. thecourt.fr does not collect any “sensitive data”.

The User’s Personal Data may be processed by subsidiaries of The Social Media Agency LTD and by subcontractors (service providers), solely for the purposes of this policy.

Within their respective roles and for the purposes set out above, the people who may access the data of thecourt.fr Users are mainly our customer service staff.

8. Incident notification

Whatever the effort made, no method of transmission over the internet and no method of electronic storage is completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee absolute security. If we became aware of a security breach, we would notify the users concerned so they can take appropriate action. Our incident notification procedures take into account our legal obligations, whether national or European. We are committed to keeping our clients fully informed of all matters relating to the security of their account and to giving them all the information they need to meet their own regulatory reporting obligations.

No personal information about users of thecourt.fr is published without the user’s knowledge, exchanged, transferred, assigned or sold on any medium to third parties. Only the acquisition of thecourt.fr and its rights would allow that information to be passed to the potential buyer, who would in turn be bound by the same obligations to keep and amend the data towards users of thecourt.fr.

Security

To keep Personal Data and Personal Health Data secure and confidential, thecourt.fr uses networks protected by standard measures such as firewalls, pseudonymisation, encryption and passwords.

When processing Personal Data, thecourt.fr takes all reasonable measures to protect it against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration or destruction.

The security of personal data is a priority for The Social Media Agency LTD. We take the security measures needed to guarantee the confidentiality, integrity and availability of your personal data. For example:

• An SSL certificate to encrypt your personal data and create an encrypted channel between communicating devices and servers.
• More secure HTTP/2 requests.
• Vercel and Supabase infrastructure, protected under those providers’ security standards. For more information see https://vercel.com/security and https://supabase.com/security.

9.1. Cookies

A “cookie” is a small information file sent to the User’s browser and saved on the User’s device (for example a computer or smartphone) (hereinafter “Cookies”). It contains information such as the User’s domain name, internet service provider, operating system, and the date and time of access. Cookies cannot damage the User’s device.

The Social Media Agency LTD may process information about the User’s visit to the Site, such as pages viewed and searches made. This information helps The Social Media Agency LTD improve the Site’s content and the User’s browsing.

Because Cookies make browsing and/or the Site’s services easier, the User can set their browser to decide whether or not to accept them, so that Cookies are either saved on the device or rejected, systematically or depending on who sends them. The User can also set their browser so that accepting or refusing Cookies is offered each time, before a Cookie can be saved on their device. The Social Media Agency LTD informs the User that, in that case, not all browser features may be available.

If the User refuses Cookies on their device or browser, or deletes those saved there, the User’s browsing and experience on the Site may be limited. This may also happen when The Social Media Agency LTD or one of its providers cannot recognise, for technical compatibility, the browser type used by the device, the language and display settings, or the country from which the device appears to connect to the internet.

Where relevant, The Social Media Agency LTD accepts no liability for the consequences of the Site, and any services offered by thecourt.fr, working in a degraded way because the User refused Cookies, or because thecourt.fr could not save or read the Cookies needed for them to work as a result of the User’s choice. Cookie settings differ from browser to browser; the browser’s help menu explains how the User can change their Cookie preferences.

The User can state and change their Cookie preferences at any time. thecourt.fr may also use external providers to help collect and process the information described in this section.

Finally, if the User clicks the social network icons for Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn and Facebook on thecourt.fr, and has accepted cookies by continuing to browse thecourt.fr, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn and Facebook may also place cookies on your devices (computer, tablet, mobile phone).

These cookies are only placed on your devices if you consent, by continuing to browse The Social Media Agency LTD’s website. The User can nevertheless withdraw their consent to thecourt.fr placing these cookies at any time.

These cookies are used and stored for between 2 and 13 months by tools such as Google Analytics or Google Tag Manager. Cookies collected with Google Analytics are stored on Google servers in several countries. We never use Google Analytics to collect personal information such as your name, first name, age or address.

• For more information on how Google stores cookies and data, see https://www.google.com/about/datacenters/inside/locations/index.html. You can disable tracking and data collection at any time by installing one of the following browser extensions:

9.2. Web tags

The Social Media Agency LTD may occasionally use web tags (also called “tags”, action tags, one-pixel GIFs, clear GIFs, invisible GIFs and one-to-one GIFs) and deploy them through a web analytics partner that may be located (and therefore store the related information, including the User’s IP address) in a foreign country.

These tags are placed both in online ads that lead internet users to the Site and on the Site’s pages.

This technology lets The Social Media Agency LTD measure how visitors respond to the Site and how effective its actions are (for example, how many times a page is opened and what information is viewed), as well as how the User uses the Site.

The external provider may collect information about visitors to the Site and other websites through these tags, report on the Site’s activity to The Social Media Agency LTD, and provide other services relating to the use of the Site and the internet.
