✦ Any information voluntarily included in the message itself

The visitor’s IP address and browser information are also recorded at the time of submission, to help protect the website against spam and abuse.

Usage data

Like most websites, certain technical information may be collected automatically when visiting the site. This may include:

This data is used for security purposes, including protection against malicious traffic, as well as for technical maintenance and website performance.

Cookies

Our website uses essential cookies necessary for the proper functioning and security of the site.

At this time, Gourmet Selection does not use advertising or marketing tracking cookies.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles or pages on this site may occasionally include embedded content, such as images, videos or articles from other websites. Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if the visitor had visited the other website directly. These websites may collect data about the visitor, use cookies and monitor interaction with their content.

Some features of the website may also rely on third-party services, such as translation tools or web fonts. When these features load, the visitor’s browser may connect to the provider’s servers, which can receive the visitor’s IP address.

Where data is stored and who can access it

The website and the data it collects are hosted on servers located in France. Backups of the website are stored with a cloud storage provider. Messages submitted through the contact form are also forwarded to our business email system.

This information may be accessed by authorized Gourmet Selection team members in Taiwan, China and Japan, which means it may be processed outside the visitor’s country of residence. Access is limited to the people who need it to handle the request.

Information may also be shared with trusted technical service providers involved in website hosting, maintenance, email delivery or security, only when necessary for these purposes.

Personal data is never sold or rented. It may be disclosed if required by law or legal process.

How long we retain your data

Contact form submissions and related correspondence are kept for up to three years after the last exchange, unless a longer period is necessary for an ongoing business relationship or to meet legal obligations.

Technical and security logs are kept for a limited period, then deleted or overwritten.

✦ Access to the personal data held about them
✦ Correction of inaccurate information
✦ Deletion of their personal data

They may also object at any time to the processing of their data for business development purposes.

Some data may need to be retained for administrative, legal or security purposes.

Requests can be sent to: contact@gourmetselection.fr. A response will be provided within one month.

Any person who believes their data has not been handled properly has the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection authority in their country.

How we protect data

Gourmet Selection takes reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against unauthorized access, misuse or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure.
