This Policy concerns the Protection of Personal Data (hereinafter “DCP”) as implemented by
Benkei
Le Capitole, 97 cours Gambetta
F-69003 Lyon

This Policy describes how we, the subcontractor, collect and use your personal data in connection with the www.benkei.eu website and related services, on behalf of our customers who have adopted a Privacy Policy that complies with the applicable rules (see below).
This Data Protection Policy does not apply to “content” processed, stored or hosted by our customers using other offers or services: this Policy does not apply to any product, service, website or content offered by third parties or governed by its own data protection policy.
This Policy outlines our policies and practices relating to your personal information (information about you that can be used to identify you) and how we treat it. This Policy may be modified at any time (see Modifications).

Reminder :
The data controller is, within the meaning of the Data Protection Act and the RGPD, the person who determines the means and purposes of the processing. When two or more data controllers jointly determine the purposes and means of the processing, they are the joint data controllers (or co-controllers). The processor is a person who processes personal data on behalf of the controller, acting under the authority of the controller and on the latter’s instructions.
