Privacy Policy
Introduction
At Mimelis, the issue of confidentiality is taken very seriously. Our ethical and responsible platform is part of a transparent approach and undertakes not to hide anything from you about our practices concerning confidentiality and the way in which we process your personal information. We are aware that you also take the issue of data confidentiality very seriously: thus, Mimelis SA (“Mimelis”) strives to ensure that your personal data is protected when you use our Services. For this, we have established a policy that describes how your personal data is processed and protected. To stay informed of any changes to this Privacy Policy, please visit our website (Platform). This Privacy Policy applies only to Mimelis customers and users of our Platform and Services.
1. Our Privacy Policy
In order to provide our Services to our users and to manage our business, we process your personal data. When you agree to our Terms of Service , you confirm that you have read and understand these rules, including why and how we use your information. If you do not want us to collect and process your personal information, you should not use our Services. We are not responsible for the content, policies or privacy practices of our members, third-party websites.
2. Information Collected or Received
In order to manage our business and offer you our Services to facilitate direct sales between producers and consumers, we collect the data listed below. This data can be obtained in different ways. Directly by you, for example via a form that you complete when registering. They can also be indirect depending on your activity and your interactions with our Services, the device or the browser you use to access the Services. Often you can choose what information you want to provide to us, but in some cases it is necessary for us to have certain information in order to provide our Services to you. Mimelis uses the data it receives or collects within the framework of this regulation.
You may also choose to provide information to link your bank account when you are a seller through a third-party service. Mimelis has no direct partnership with this service. Therefore, the processing of information is subject to their own privacy regulations. Before sharing data with this third-party service, the privacy and security practices should be understood.
Registration and Account Setup : To use our Services, you will need to provide us with a valid email address. If we are unable to send critical emails to your account, we may suspend or terminate your account. Registration can be done either by using the registration form offered by Mimelis or by using automated registration via a third-party service such as Facebook for example. As part of an automated registration, this information can be retrieved directly from the third-party service. In this case, your Mimelis account is linked to the third-party service. You then agree to the third party's terms of use and privacy policy.
Profile : You must provide your name as well as personal information such as your birthday or your gender. This information is used to identify the owner of the account and can, for example, be used to contact you or to verify your age. The information making up your profile can be modified or deleted via your account settings. You may also be asked for your telephone number in order to communicate more quickly with you and to process the status of your orders.
Information from “non-members”: the platform receives information from people who are not yet members, in particular when subscribing to the newsletter for example. In this case, information such as the user's email address is collected.
Geographic Information : When you use our Services, we may collect information about your location. This may include your IP address and information about your browser or device. When you choose and when you activate them on your device or browser, we may obtain information about your geographical location. When you no longer wish to share your location, this can be removed through your device or browser settings.
Analytics Information : We may collect data for analytics purposes about your use of our Services through third-party services. This data may concern, for example, your browser, your device, the pages you have consulted. In addition, we may use a third-party service to improve the functionality of our platform, to be able to provide adapted Services and for debugging purposes, which records your journey on the platform and your interactions on the pages of the platform.
Marketing and Advertising Information : We may receive information about you from our advertising partners. This information is transmitted to us by cookies and UTM tags in the URLs and makes it possible to attribute certain behaviors. They can, for example, tell us where a visit to Mimelis comes from, or even a response to a marketing email.
Payment Information : We do not collect any credit card information. We only collect a login ID in order to communicate with our Payment Service Provider. In order to make purchases on the Platform, the Payment Service Provider collects the information necessary for payment.
When we collect personal data directly from you, you voluntarily provide the personal data to us in order to use the Platform.
3. Uses, Disclosure of Information
Your privacy is respected. Mimelis will not disclose your personal information to third parties without your consent, except as provided in these Regulations.
We use the data we collect to conduct our business, advertise and improve our existing Platform, develop new services, and improve and personalize your experiences when interacting with us. We also use your Personal Data to communicate with you.
We process your personal information for the following purposes:
Provide and improve our Services : we use your personal data to create and manage your personal account with Mimelis and to process your orders. We use your information to improve our Services, including by sharing it, as necessary to pursue our legitimate interests in improving our Services for Platform users. In addition, this is also necessary in order to exercise our legitimate interest in understanding how our Services are used in order to be able to improve them.
Communicate with you and respond to your requests : your user account allows you to optionally subscribe to our communications such as our newsletter and other promotional communications. When you create an account with us, communications preferences may be initialized with certain communications enabled by default. You can at any time, from your user settings, choose and configure the type of communications you wish to receive from us. When you give your consent to these communications, we may use your personal data to communicate with you in a relevant way about the products or more generally the Services offered by the Platform.
We will be able to use your personal information in order to provide you with quality answers adapted to your requests for technical or commercial support, whatever they may be.
Certain types of emails or notifications cannot be disabled via your user settings. We may send you this type of communication when it concerns the performance of our services, a change in our Terms of Use or this Privacy Policy. Not all notifications or messages regarding a purchase or sale can be muted. We do this in order to avoid any misunderstanding between the seller and the buyer of a product.
Personalization of the Site: personal information may be used to provide you with a map of relevant producers. For example, your geographic information can be used to directly show you the map at the correct location. Your preferences can, in turn, be used to initialize the filters of the map.
We may use information derived from your shopping behavior to suggest potential purchases accordingly. As part of the use of our Services, we have a legitimate interest in personalizing our site in order to help you search and find the products that interest you more easily. This information can also help sellers better understand how to better market and sell their products on Mimelis.
Tailor our advertising and marketing: We use personal data to establish relevant advertising and marketing campaigns, as well as to provide you with information that may be of interest to you. It is possible to ask us expressly not to send you information of a promotional nature. For example, we may send you offers in line with your preferences.
We will process your personal data for the purposes described above on the basis of our legitimate interest to carry out activities for promotional purposes and in order to offer you relevant products.
Platform Security and Legislation: Mimelis may also retain personal information in the following circumstances: detection and prevention of fraud, prevention of abuse, security incidents and any other harmful activity. In addition, if required by law, Mimelis may communicate personal information to local authorities or authorized third parties, if such communication is reasonably necessary.
Corporate Reorganization: In the event that Mimelis carries out or is involved in any corporate restructuring (such as a sale, merger, liquidation), then we may transfer or share all or part of part of your personal data in connection with this transaction or in anticipation of this transaction. If this were the case, you would be notified in advance of the transfer of this data, and of the new data privacy policy.
4. Security
We attach importance to the security of your personal data. We have technical measures in place to protect your data during submission and after receipt. In terms of payment security, all data is transmitted in encrypted form. To this extent, your data is transmitted via a secure connection using the TLS standard. This means that external parties cannot read your personal data. Our Payment Service Providers process your card data in accordance with PCI DSS international security standards. Your card data is therefore processed at a very high level of security. Unfortunately, it is impossible to claim that a data transmission method is 100% infallible. Therefore, even though we make every effort to protect your data, we do not guarantee its absolute security.
Your personal information is protected by your password. It is therefore important to choose your password carefully and to maintain the security of your password.
5. Your rights and choices
Under certain privacy laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have specific rights to your personal information. To this extent, Mimelis allows you to access and update or delete some of this personal information. You can modify or delete certain data directly via the Platform in your user account. You can also ask us to correct or delete inaccurate or incomplete personal data concerning you.
Some of your personal data cannot be deleted when there is a legal storage obligation. This may, for example, concern data relating to accounting.
You may exercise any of the rights described in this section by contacting us. Contact information is available in the contact section of these regulations.
