This information will be presented as optional and used to help us better understand our customers and to personalise our services.
Statistical information
We also collect and use aggregate data such as statistical or demographic data ("Aggregate Data"). Aggregate Data may be derived from your personal information but does not reveal your identity. For example, we may aggregate your usage and device data to calculate the percentage of our website users accessing a specific feature of our website. Aggregate Data is used solely for our own purposes.

If you submit comments or suggestions on our website, please keep in mind that this information will be visible to other users of our website.

You will only receive marketing communications from us if you choose to receive them.
When you sign up to receive our newsletters or marketing communications, we use the information you provide, usually your name and email address, to enable us to send you our newsletters, promotions and other marketing communications.
We will process your personal information for marketing purposes on the basis of your consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time and we will stop sending you our newsletters, promotions and other communications as requested.
Thus you can unsubscribe at any time either:
(I) by clicking on the unsubscribe link at the bottom of each marketing communication we send you; or
(II) by contacting us by email or post using one of our contact details set out in paragraph 1.
We may send you marketing communications until you decide to unsubscribe from receiving them. However, if for a period of 3 years we have not heard from you or if we notice that you have not opened our emails, we will remove your details from our database. There is nothing to stop you from resubscribing at any time.
From time to time, we may also use your usage and terminal data to make online suggestions and recommendations to you about goods or services that may be of interest to you. This processing is based on our legitimate interest in developing our products and services.
7. INFORMATION WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU FROM OTHER PLACES
To enable us to provide our services to you, we may receive personal information about you from other sources:
We may receive information about you if you use any of the other websites we operate or the other products and/or services we provide. We also work closely with third parties (including, for example, business partners, technical contractors, payment services, analysts, research information providers) and may receive information about you from them.
The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest in monitoring and improving our website, products and services.
Information from our web server logs, for example information about your computer, such as your IP address, operating system or browser type. We may also collect information about the searches you perform on our website and your interaction with communications we send to you, for example when you open email communications ("Usage and Terminal Data"). We use this information for system administration and analysis of how our websites and digital platforms are used. It also enables us to provide the best online infrastructure for your digital activities.
The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest in monitoring and improving our website, products and services.
As mentioned above, we collect information, using cookies or similar technologies stored on your terminal, about how you use our website and our digital products and services. Cookies contain information that is transferred to the hard drive of your computer or mobile phone/tablet. They enable us to improve our websites and provide you with a better and more personalised service. You can read our cookie policy.
The legal basis for this processing is your consent or, where applicable, our legitimate interest in monitoring and improving our website, products and services.
Our website may allow you to share your experience and communicate with us through third party social networks such as Facebook and Twitter. We may collect this information on our social networking sites, including likes, shares and tweets, as well as content on the social networking sites. We do not control the privacy of the information you provide on social networks and the privacy policies of those social networks will apply when using their services.
The legal basis for this processing is your consent.
8. WHERE WE STORE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
All information you provide to us is stored on secure servers in the EEA.
Although we are committed to protecting your personal information, the transmission of information online via the Internet is not completely secure. We, along with our service providers, will do our best to protect your personal information, but the information provided is at your own risk.
9. SHARING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
Your personal data will only be passed on to those who need to know that information to carry out their duties.
We may share your personal data in the following ways:
Within the Michelin Group
We may disclose your personal information to any member of our group, i.e. our subsidiaries, the ultimate parent company and its subsidiaries, to the extent necessary for the same purposes as the original processing set out in this policy.
To subcontractors
AirCaptif may share your personal data with subcontractors that the group may use to process your request or provide services. These subcontractors are contractually bound to ensure the confidentiality and security of the personal data received and to process your personal data only on our instructions.
To third parties
(I) For legal reasons
If we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal information in order to comply with a legal obligation, or to enforce or apply our terms and conditions of use or any other contract; or to protect our rights, property or the safety of the Michelin Group, its customers or others. In this context and to the extent necessary, we may pass your personal information to any external counsel who would be bound by an obligation of confidentiality.
(II) On the basis of your consent
Third parties may collect information about you on our website, products or services via cookies or similar technologies, for example to deliver personalised advertisements or to perform profiling. These cookies will be handled in accordance with our Cookie Policy.
10. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
Michelin is an international group with databases in the various countries where it is present. Michelin may transfer your personal data within the group to one of its databases or to one of its external partners located in a country other than yours.
As the level of data protection varies from country to country, we will only transfer your personal data to companies within the Michelin Group or to third party companies outside the European Union if they offer the same level of protection for personal data as Michelin.
For transfers within the Michelin Group, the company has adopted internal rules governing the transfer of personal data from the European Union or the European Economic Area (EEA). By clicking on "BCR", you will find details of the rules.
Transfers of data outside the Group are governed either by our processor's BCRs or by contracts containing the European Commission's clauses, for suppliers based outside the EU to ensure a similar level of protection to your home country.
Although we are committed to ensuring the security of your personal information, the transmission of information online via the internet is not completely secure. In conjunction with our service providers, we are committed to doing everything we can to protect your personal information, but the provision of information is at your own risk.
11. HOW LONG WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
By default, we will not retain your personal information for longer than is necessary for the purposes for which we collected it, for any purpose, including for the purpose of satisfying any legal, accounting or reporting requirements. For more specific information on how long we retain your personal information, please see paragraph 5 of this policy.
In determining the appropriate retention period for personal data, we take into account the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data, our potential ability to pursue those purposes through other means and any applicable legal requirements.
In certain circumstances you may ask us to delete your data: see your right to deletion below for more information.
In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes. In this case, we may use the information indefinitely without notifying you.

14. ABOUT DATA SECURITY
Michelin has implemented measures to protect the confidentiality, security and integrity of your personal data. Access to personal data is restricted to employees and service providers who need to know this information and who have been trained to comply with confidentiality rules.
On Michelin's commercial sites, banking information will be collected in order to provide efficient, legal and secure payment processes. These measures may consist of SSL encryption (the purpose of which is to make the data unreadable by third parties) during the collection or transfer of confidential data. The information mentioned will only be used for online payment and will not be stored.
Michelin undertakes to ensure that your personal data will not be altered or damaged and that unauthorised third parties will not have access to it.

We may make changes to our policy from time to time. Any future changes to this policy will be posted on this page. If you have an online account with us, we may notify you of any changes by email or through your account the next time you log in.
