When processing personal data, we use the following legal basis resulting from the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

  • Since this processing is necessary to conclude a contract or take pre-contractual measures (for example, when you have made a purchase, we use your personal data to process your payment and order).
  • Because we have obtained your consent (e.g. when you contact us with an inquiry or add optional information to your account profile, or if you consent to receiving marketing communications from us).
  • Because it is in our legitimate interest to maintain and promote our services. We always try our best to get to know our customers in order to offer them the best products and optimal customer experience. We use the information to personalise the website in order to make it more interesting and to present relevant products and offers.

Marketing and Customer Acquisition

Rules used in FIG

FIG communicates with customers and, depending on marketing preferences, we may use personal information to send you marketing messages by email, telephone or letter. Some of these messages may be personalised depending on previous site browsing or purchase made, and other information that are held by FIG.

FIG is committed to strictly adhering to the applicable rules for each search channel.

Email Marketing

When creating an account on the website, we ask the user to express consent to receive newsletters and information from FIG.

An exception to this rule is that you may, however, be solicited without first giving your consent to FIG because you are already a FIG customer and we offer products or services related to your previous purchases to solicit the customer.

If you no longer wish to receive messages (or wish to return to them), you may change your preferences at any time by contacting us (details below), clicking the "Unsubscribe" link in the email, or updating your account settings. If you unsubscribe from a marketing subscription, please note that we may contact you from time to time to send you service messages (for example, order or delivery confirmation, or information about your rights).

Marketing on other websites

The site's advertisments can also be viewed on other websites, including social networks. These ads can be personalized using cookies (which track internet activity, which allows us to show advertisments to customers who have visited our site). When you see an advertisement on social networks, it may be because we use this social network to serve advertisements for our clients or users that match the demographic profile of our clients. In some cases, this may involve sharing an email address with this social network. If you no longer want to see personalized ads, you can change your cookie and privacy settings in your browser and on third-party websites.

Who do we share this personal data with?

We provide clients' personal data to third parties in the following cases:

  • Our suppliers and service providers working with us, for example payment institutions and delivery companies.
  • To our professional and legal advisors.
  • Third parties involved in the prevention and detection of fraud.
  • To law enforcement or other government authorities, for example to report fraud or in response to a reasoned request.

Your personal data is therefore for the sole use of FIG to ensure the proper functioning of our services. Under no circumstances do we rent or sell your personal data to third parties.

Collection and storage

We use the services of suppliers from all over the world. Therefore, personal data may be processed in countries outside of Europe, including countries where you may be protected with fewer rights to your data than under local law. If we transfer personal data outside the European Economic Area, we will ensure, in accordance with the requirements of applicable law, appropriate protection of the right to privacy through appropriate safeguards, in particular standard EU contractual clauses. Please contact us for more information on these guarantees.

We will retain your personal information for as long as needed for the purposes set out above, and this period will vary depending on your interaction with us. For example, once you have made a purchase from us, we will keep a record of your purchases for as long as is necessary for billing, taxes and warranties. We may also keep correspondence documentation (for example, in the event of a product complaint) for as long as necessary to protect us against legal claims. If we no longer need to store the data, we will delete it. Please note that when unsubscribing from our marketing communications (newsletters), we keep your e-mail address to ensure that we do not send you future marketing communications.

Safety

This site provides data encryption when you leave the site. This process involves converting information or data into a code to prevent unauthorized access. Encryption methods such as SSL are used to protect customer data while moving to and from this site over a secure communication channel.

Although we make every effort to ensure the protection of personal data on our site, we cannot guarantee the security and integrity of the information that has been sent to our site.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF COOKIES

Our website uses different types of cookies with different functions. Some of them are necessary for the use of our website.

STRICTLY NECESSARY COOKIES

These cookies enable the main functions of our website (e.g. shopping cart use or account access) to be used. Without these cookies, you will not be able to use our website as usual. These are cookies placed by FIG that only relate to the operation of our website.

PERFORMANCE COOKIES

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, for example which pages they visit most often, and whether they receive error messages from websites. These cookies do not collect information that personally identifies you. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. They are only used to improve how our website works. By using our website, you consent to the storage of these types of cookies on your computer.

FUNCTIONAL COOKIES

These cookies enable our website to save the choices you have made (including your username, language or region where you are located) and to provide enhanced and more personalized features. They may also be used to provide services requested by the user, such as watching a video or sharing a product on social networks. By using our website, you consent to the storage of these types of cookies on your computer.

DIRECTION AND ADVERTISING COOKIES

These cookies are used for advertising purposes to better customise the content to your interests and situation. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement while measuring the effectiveness of the advertising campaign. They are stored with our consent by advertising networks or affiliates. These cookies know that a user has visited a website and that this information is shared with other organizations, including advertisers. By using our website, you consent to the storage of these types of cookies on your computer. 

SOCIAL COOKIES AND PLUGINS (SOCIAL BUTTONS)

These social cookies are designed to allow users to share pages and content via external social networks. They also enable targeted advertising on social networks.

There are also social plugins or buttons on our website.

Social plugins make it easy to share the pages and content of the www.fnac.com website on various social media platforms. For example, they allow you to "like" and share information from our website with friends on social networks. For this purpose, the plugins use cookies to track the visited pages of Internet users, whether or not they are users of these platforms and whether or not they are connected to a social network while browsing. These cookies also allow targeting of advertising offers to these platforms. More information on the use of personal data in connection with social networks can be found in the data privacy policy of third party social networks.

WHAT IS THE POINT OF DISPLAYING PROMOTIONAL OFFERS AND ADVERTISING ADAPTED TO THE PAGES ON THE INTERNET BY THE USER?

Our goal is to present you with the most relevant offers and advertisements. For this purpose, the cookie technology enables the display in real time of the content that best suits the interests of the user, about which information was obtained as a result of the last browsing of one or more websites.

When a user visits a website, the interest in the content displayed on the user's computer often determines the advertising inventory of that website. This is why FIG, as an advertiser, wants its offers and advertisements to be displayed to Internet users who may potentially be interested in them.

CAUTION IF YOU ARE USING THE COMPUTER WITH OTHER PEOPLE.

If a computer is used by several people and the same computer has several browsers, we cannot completely guarantee that the services and advertising intended for the computer user are appropriate for the personal use and not the use of another user on that computer.
