    In compliance with French law no. 78-17 of January 6, 1978 (amended) on data processing, files, and freedoms, and European Regulation 2016/679 of April 27, 2016 on the protection of personal data, people from whom Personal Data is collected have various rights regarding the management of their data:

    • The right to access: the User may request confirmation as to whether or not his/her Personal Data is being processed by SATT AxLR. If Personal Data is being processed, the User may request a copy of that data at no cost, on the condition that the request is not patently abusive, notably due to its repetitive or systematic nature.
    • The right to rectification: the User may request that incorrect information concerning him/her be modified or updated.
    • The right to be forgotten: the User may request that information concerning him/her contained in SATT AxLR databases be deleted to the extent that the information is no longer relevant for any of the purposes stated above, and on the condition that there is no legitimate interest for SATT AxLR or legal obligation requiring such information to be retained.
    • The right to oppose and revoke consent: at any time, the User may request to no longer be included in a file in SATT AxLR databases, unless SATT AxLR demonstrates legitimate and compelling reasons that may prevail over the User’s interests, rights, and freedoms.
    • The right to request restriction of Processing: the User may request that Processing concerning him/her be suspended under the circumstances stipulated by regulations, namely when:
    • The User disputes the accuracy of his/her Personal Data for a period of time that is sufficient for SATT AxLR to verify the accuracy of that Personal Data;
    • The Processing faces a legal challenge and the User objects to the deletion of his/her Personal Data, but instead demands that the use of such data be limited;
    • SATT AxLR no longer has any need for the Personal Data for processing purposes, but such Personal Data is still needed to establish, exercise, or defend the User’s legal rights;
    • The User has opposed Processing, while checking whether the legitimate motivations pursued by the Data Controller prevail over those of the User.
  • The right to portability: the User may request the transmission of his/her Personal Data in a structured format to SATT AxLR or another data controller, to the extent that (i) it is technically possible to do so, and (ii) the Processing of Personal Data is based on the User’s consent.
  • The right to determine general and/or specific instructions regarding the Processing of Personal Data, and the manner in which the User wishes his/her rights to be exercised after his/her death. In the event that SATT AxLR is informed of a User’s death, that User’s Personal Data will be deleted, unless there is a requirement to retain it for a specified period of time for reasons related to legal and regulatory obligations and/or statutory limitation periods imposed on SATT AxLR, and if applicable, after having transmitted the Personal Data to a third-party designated by the User.

The User is hereby advised that he/she may file a complaint with the French Data Protection Authority (Commission Nationale de l’Informatique et des Libertés - CNIL) in the event of a dispute.

The User’s rights mentioned above can be exercised by sending e-mail to DPO or by writing to the following address: SATT AxLR – Protection des données DPO, 950 rue Saint Priest, CSU, Bâtiment 6 – 34090 Montpellier, France.
