Ulric de Varens collects your data in its databases and aims to protect this data in accordance with the market against alteration, loss or unlawful use.

Once your data has been collected and processed, you have the right to consult your personal data, to demand that it be corrected if it is incorrect, and to request the deletion of your personal data, giving reasons. It should be noted that we cannot always delete all the personal data requested, especially when their processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or justification of a legal claim. In addition, you have the right to request that the processing be "restricted" (in cases where immediate deletion would disadvantage you, the personal data will only be made inaccessible). If you so wish, it is also possible to transfer the personal data you have actively provided to another service provider. This is the "right to data portability". Whenever the processing is based on a legitimate interest of Ulric de Varens, you have the right to object to this processing. If your request is well-founded, Ulric de Varens will cease processing your personal data, unless the processing of the personal data is related to the establishment, exercise, or justification of legal claims (e.g. the filing of a claim with a court). Where processing is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw such consent at any time, without prejudice to the lawfulness of the processing based on consent prior to such withdrawal. Finally, you always have the right to object, without having to give a reason, to the use of your personal data for direct marketing purposes.

You can exercise these rights by sending an e-mail to service.clients@ulric-de-varens.com. You will need to attach a copy of the front of your identity card to prove your identity.
