We take care to limit the personal information collected to that which is necessary for the provision of our services.

(i) to provide you with the services requested

In addition, ALTISSIA reserves the right to use the information collected, namely your surname, first name, address, email address and telephone number, to send you newsletters and other promotional communications by post, email, telephone and/or SMS in direct relation to the services offered by ALTISSIA.
How we disclose your information outside of our company. Except under exceptional circumstances such as those ordered by the law, ALTISSIA is forbidden to communicate or sell your personal information to third parties.
Access, modification and deletion of collected information. You may, at any time, request a copy of your personal information that we have stored in our databases by contacting us via the 'Contact Us' tab on our website.

Protection of information. The site and e-commerce of ALTISSIA are hosted on several servers dedicated to and supplied by providers chosen among European leaders of web hosting. In order to protect the entire system against viruses and other external attacks, system software and application software are updated as soon as a security update is available. The manager of the infrastructure performs computer checks and immediately applies the urgent updates. Access to servers is restricted by private/public keys and the private key is encrypted (DES 256). To ensure maximum protection, a firewall is installed on each server and configured by our network administrator.
Finally, each individual computer of ALTISSIA staff members is equipped with a professional anti-virus programme that is automatically updated.
The host is committed to protecting the infrastructure against all types of attacks, regardless of their duration or magnitude. It relies on an infrastructure dedicated to the mitigation of denial-of-service attacks.
Telecommunication privacy guarantee. All transmissions of personal data are encrypted via 'https' pages. This mainly concerns all administrator tools (for example, management of servers, access to databases, access to servers). All communication between servers is encrypted using TLS technology, and access to the server is via encrypted SSH and VPN connections. This ensures the highest level of security and guarantee of data confidentiality. In addition, all passwords belonging to users and supervisors are encrypted (SHA256) in our database and cannot be read, neither outside nor within ALTISSIA. This is why we will only send out new passwords, and never existing ones. This is an essential security measure that prevents any unauthorised access to personal and confidential information.
Respect of the collected data concerning minors. We take care to protect the privacy of minors. The collection of personal information of a minor is not possible without the authorisation of his/her parent or guardian. Please contact us immediately if you believe that the data of a minor has been collected without parental consent.
