Privacy Policy and Cookie Management
Last updated: March 23, 2021
This privacy charter (the “Charter”) sets out our commitment to respecting the privacy of users of the website https://wdassocies.com/ (the “Website”).
In providing our Website, we process your personal data in accordance with General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 of April 27, 2016 (“GDPR”) and under the conditions set out below.
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. We collect and process personal data solely in connection with the provision of our Services or communications about these Services, in strict compliance with the GDPR.
We only collect personal data that is adequate, relevant, and limited to what is necessary for the purposes for which it is processed. You will therefore never be asked to provide personal data considered “sensitive,” such as your racial or ethnic origin, or your political, philosophical, or religious opinions.
By registering on the Website, you authorize us to process your personal data in accordance with the Charter. If you do not accept the terms of this Charter, you must refrain from using the Website and the Services.

How do we protect your personal data?
We have implemented technical and organizational security measures to guarantee the security, integrity, and confidentiality of all your personal data, in order to prevent it from being altered, damaged, or accessed by unauthorized third parties. We ensure an appropriate level of security, taking into account the state of the art, implementation costs, and the nature, scope, context, and purposes of the processing, as well as the risks involved and their likelihood.
However, since no security measure is infallible, we are not able to guarantee absolute security of your personal data.

No personal data is transferred outside the European Union.
Sharing with authorities
We may be required to disclose your personal data to administrative or judicial authorities when such disclosure is necessary for the identification, apprehension, or prosecution of any individual likely to harm our rights, those of any other user, or those of a third party.
