DATA PROTECTION POLICY

Party responsible for processing data 

As the entity responsible for processing your personal data, the Vaucluse Département (hereinafter, “the Département” or “us”), devotes great importance to protecting personal data and respecting your private life.

What data do we collect?

When using our ExploreVaucluse Web App(lication), you may be required to transmit personal data, directly or indirectly (for example, via third parties), or through using the app(lication):

As such, the Département may be required to collect:

  • Data relating to your identity: such as your first name, last name, contact details (telephone/email address), gender, age, date of birth as well as the language your terminal uses;
  • Data relating to your location: your geolocation;
  • Health data: if applicable, your type of disability;
  • Data relating to your private life: the dates of your stay, the number of people you are travelling with, your mode of transport, your interests;
  • Technical data: your terminal’s operating system, the name and version of your web browser, the network used and your browser’s language.

We may obtain some of this personal information from third parties or via the cookies in our app(lication). 

Third parties may relate to:

  • The company that enables us to provide a public network of Wi-Fi terminals for your use (via its identification portal);
  • Social media – during the Captive Portal identification via your social media and when you grant permission to access your data on the relevant social media (profile with the “public” setting);
  • The company developing the Web App(lication) that enables, via cookies and the optional questionnaire made available for your use, to establish your location and personalise certain services on the basis of your interests, favourites or your location.

When your personal data is collected, you will be informed of the fact that some of it must be completed in order to achieve the expected result. In addition, in the absence of completing certain optional information, you may not benefit from all services – in particular those which are personalised – that the Département offers you.

What are the reasons why we collect your personal data?

The Département collects and processes your personal data to ensure the management of the ExploreVaucluse Web App(lication), and this is only for the following purposes: 

  • Tourist promotion of the Vaucluse Département (territorial marketing);
  • Anonymous profiling (producing “persona” corresponding to visitor group behaviours);
  • Improvement of services (promoting the app(lication), improving functions provided, making content that is relevant, suitable and personalised to your interests and geographic location available);
  • Statistics (audience measurement, public policy evaluation).

What are the legal bases on which we collect your personal data?

The Département collects and processes your personal data in accordance with regulations and only within the scope of the following legal basis: 

  • When you have specifically consented to your personal data being processed;
  • When it is necessary for carrying out a mission of public interest the Département is involved in;
  • When it is required for continuing the legitimate interests of the Département, that is: assessing public policies and actions carried out by the Département.

What are your rights over your data?

The Département guarantees that you exercise all of the rights granted to you by the regulations. In this respect, you may therefore:

Where do we transfer your personal data?

The Département mainly chooses service providers hosting their data in the European Union. Nevertheless, when it is necessary we may be required to transmit your personal data to service providers operating outside the European Union.

If these service providers operate in a country that the controlling authority (the Commission Nationale Informatique et Liberté – French Information Commissioner’s Office) does not consider to offer a sufficient level of protection, we do everything to contractualise model contractual clauses approved by the European Commission and also include a Data Processing Agreement “DPA” as part of our contractual relations with these service providers.
