The Personal Data collected may be communicated to the following categories of recipients, in compliance with the applicable regulations:

Your Personal Data is processed by authorized members of France IX Services' staff.

Outside France IX Services (external recipients)

Several categories of third parties listed below may have access to your Personal Data. Only the Personal Data that is strictly necessary is transmitted to them.

  • Our service providers are involved in the delivery of services (NOC, service provider carrying out interventions in Dacacenter, etc.).
  • Our marketing service providers (marketing agency, tools used to send targeted marketing communications or data analysis or segmentation of the prospect base, referencing management and solution for enriching and validating professional contacts) and cookie storage tools (Matomo: https://fr.matomo.org/privacy-policy/).
  • Our event providers: tools used for registration and tracking of events you attend.
  • Your data may be transmitted to our CRM (customer relationship management tool: Hubspot: https://legal.hubspot.com/fr/privacy-policy), to our email solution for the purpose of communicating with you (Gmail: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=fr-CA) and to our online file storage or sharing solution (Dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/fr/privacy).

6. How your data is used by third-party platforms

Our website may contain links to other websites over which we have no control. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of the websites and apps you may interact with.

7. Transfer outside the EU

We prefer to store your Personal Data within the European Union as much as possible. For example, our servers are located within the European Union.

However, we may use service providers who process the information we provide to them outside the European Union. When this occurs, we ensure that the recipient offers appropriate guarantees to process your information with a level of protection that meets GDPR requirements (in particular, through the use of the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses, which the CNIL has recognized as ensuring an adequate level of protection for privacy and fundamental rights).

As part of our work organization (office automation tools, accounting software, etc.) or to manage exchanges with our prospects and customers (CRM, satisfaction surveys, etc.), we also use free or paid digital tools or services developed by American companies. The use of these tools is currently based on the new self-certification system for American entities implemented on July 10, 2023 (Data Privacy Framework).

We have verified that the organizations concerned (HubSpot, Oracle, Google and Dropbox) are on the list of certified organizations made available on the website of the United States Department of Commerce (https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search). By making an annual and public commitment to adhere to this legal framework and to respect all its principles, these companies are considered to offer guarantees similar to those of the European Union.

Finally, in order to allow the transfer consisting of remote access of an employee based in a country located outside the European Union, we have ensured that this transfer is carried out with an adequate level of protection: this country benefits from an adequacy decision and is considered fully adequate by the European Commission.
