2. Privacy policy objectives

Respect for privacy and the protection of personal information are essential to us, which is why, through this Policy, we intend to protect them in accordance with the laws in force. To ensure this protection, CLINIQUE DR DANIEL BAROLET undertakes to only collect, process and share information allowing the identification of an individual when the latter has consented, unless this is permitted or required by law, in which case your consent will not be necessary. The purpose of the Policy is to inform users of the reasons and how CLINIQUE DR DANIEL BAROLET, or any person acting on its behalf, will collect and use their personal information. It is intended to be in clear language to ensure informed consent from users.

For this Policy, “personal information” means any information about an identifiable person or allowing a person to be identified. Where possible, we will anonymize, pseudonymize and/or aggregate these so that they no longer identify an individual.

3. Entry into force

This Policy applies from September 21, 2023, and replaces the previous Privacy Policy.

4. Methods for obtaining consent

CLINIQUE DR DANIEL BAROLET undertakes to obtain consent before collecting an individual’s personal information. Consent may be express or implied and may be provided directly by the individual or their authorized representative.

We prioritize obtaining explicit consent, whether verbally, electronically or in writing. However, implied consent can be reasonably inferred from a person’s action or inaction. For example, providing a name and address to receive a publication or a name and telephone number to obtain a response to a question is considered implied consent to the collection of information containing personal information.

5. Objectives of data collection

The information collected is in accordance with the purposes and objectives set out in this confidentiality policy.

Here are some reasons why we collect your personal information:

• To provide products and services: we will collect and process the data and information necessary to fulfill our mission and contractual obligations.
• To ensure and improve these products and services: the data collected during your interactions with our services may be used to analyze and improve the functioning of our products and services.
• To offer personalized products and services: the collection and analysis of data generated by your interactions with our services allows us to develop and create products and services that are relevant and that meet expectations, notably to predict adaptation measures for customers that require some.
• To evaluate the performance of products and services: data is collected to obtain information on the advantages, but also the issues relating to our products and services, to evaluate them—if needed using surveys, and resolve them. This allows us to ensure the quality of our products and services in addition to promoting risk management.
• To protect the privacy of our users. The data collected allows us to verify the identity and protect the privacy of people who communicate with us by telephone, electronically or otherwise.
• To satisfy legal obligations. The data is collected to meet obligations arising from laws, regulations or international treaties.

6. Use of cookies and analytical tools

“The Site” uses cookies. A cookie is a file containing an identifier (a string of letters and numbers) sent by a web server to a web browser and stored by the browser. The identifier is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. Cookies can be “persistent” or “session”: a persistent cookie is stored by the browser and remains valid until its expiration date unless deleted by the user before that expiration date; As for a session cookie, it expires at the end of the user session, when the browser is closed.

Cookies generally do not contain any information that personally identifies a user, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to information stored in and obtained by cookies. We use session cookies and persistent cookies on our website. The data exchanged are as follows:

• identification of your Internet service provider;
• your IP address;
• the type of browser and operating system you use;
• the pages you visit;
• the date and time you access these pages;
• the address of the referring site, if you access this site from another website.

The names of the cookies we use on our website and the purposes for which we use them are described below:

Google Analytics

CLINIQUE DR DANIEL BAROLET uses Google Analytics which, using cookies, collects information concerning your browsing on this site, which is stored on servers located particularly in the United States. Google may communicate this information to third parties in the event of a legal obligation or when these third parties process the data on its behalf.

The information collected by the tool is, for example, the pages you consult, the date, time, duration and frequency of your visits as well as the links on which you click. The type of operating system on your computer and its language, the name of your Internet service provider and your geographic location (region) are also part of the information collected. Your IP address is also collected, but it is anonymized (truncated) to ensure the confidentiality of information about you. Anonymizing an IP address prevents the identity of an Internet user from being known through it.

Google only uses the information collected to produce statistics and reports on navigation on this site, which allows the Ministry of Labor, Employment and Social Solidarity to improve its electronic delivery of services. Google will under no circumstances link the information collected on this site with any other data it stores.

If you wish, you can prevent Google from recording information about your browsing by installing the Google Analytics deactivation browser add-on on your computer.
