PRIVACY POLICY

In the course of its commercial activity as a publisher of daily newspapers and magazines on digital media, and its related commercial activities, the Mandatory.gg Publishing Company may process information about you. For example, by filling in a subscription form, by making a purchase on our online shop, by contacting our Customer Service, by registering for an event we are organising, by taking part in a competition, by browsing our websites or our mobile and digital applications, by clicking on an advertising link that we present to you, you are transmitting information to us, some of which is of a nature to identify you ("personal data").

This Privacy Policy informs you about how we collect and process your personal data. Please read it carefully.

Important

We only use your personal data in the cases provided for by the regulations in force:

• the performance of a contract we have entered into with you, and/or
•  Compliance with a legal obligation, and/or
•  Your consent to the use of your data, and/or
•  The existence of a legitimate interest to use your data. The legitimate interest is a set of commercial or business reasons that justifies the use of your data by the Mandatory.gg Publisher.

For the publisher of Mandatory.gg, this legitimate interest is mainly, in a context of change in the media offering in France and in mandatory.gg, to maintain the level of commercial revenue necessary to preserve its independence as a press organisation, to finance the production of quality editorial content offered to its readers, to maintain the free availability of certain content on its sites and applications or the existence of subscription offers at a preferential rate for certain categories of subscribers.

We believe that this legitimate commercial interest is part of a wider framework of maintaining a free and independent press, which is essential to freedom of expression and freedom of opinion in a democratic society.

By agreeing to receive marketing and advertising information from our publications and partners, you are helping to maintain the economic viability of our business as a newspaper publisher.

In any case, your individual rights will always take precedence over our legitimate interest, and we will never use your data for commercial purposes against your wishes.

If you have any questions about this document, you can contact the data protection officer at mandatory.gg.

The person responsible for the processing mentioned in this document is the publishing company of Mandatory.gg named Z AGENCY, a company with a capital of 1000 €, whose registered office is located at 4 Rue Frédéric Passy 69100 VILLEURBANNE, registered in the Lyon Trade and Companies Register under number 834 475 808 and of which Mr Hugo Poiblanc, Chairman of the Management Board, is the legal representative.

The Data Protection Officer is Mr. Timothee Malossane.

3.1. Data that you transmit directly to us

During the various contacts we have with you, you may be asked to provide us with information about yourself. This information is collected in particular when you take out a subscription, create an account on our sites and applications, place an order on our online shops, or access any other offer or service.

These data include:

• Name, first name, title, date of birth ;
•  Postal address, e-mail address, telephone number ;
•  Encrypted login and password used to identify you on our sites or applications;
•  Encrypted information about your payment methods (in particular your credit card number);
•  Choices in commercial prospecting ;
•  Any other information you wish to share with us.

3.2. The data we collect during our commercial relationship

The data we collect in the course of our business relationship with you includes the following:

• Information relating to the history of your commercial relationship with Mandatory.gg: subscriptions, orders for products and services, invoicing and payment where applicable;

•  Requests you have made to our customer service department or incidents you have reported to us, for example concerning the delivery of our products or the performance of our services;
•  Information about your purchases of products and services from our partners.

3.3. The data we collect automatically

Each time you visit our websites and mobile applications, we collect information about your connection and navigation. Different technologies may be used to collect this data. We refer to them generically as "cookies".

- Data collected through cookies

A cookie is a text file deposited when you visit a website, mobile application or online advertisement and stored in a specific space on the hard drive of your computer or mobile device. Cookies are managed by your Internet browser or the mobile application you are using, and only the issuer of a cookie can decide whether to read or modify the information contained in it.

A cookie has a limited validity period. It is deposited and stored on your terminal in compliance with the applicable legislation and subject to the choices you have made and which you may modify at any time, under the conditions specified in article 9 below.

A cookie does not identify you personally. It allows its issuer to recognise your terminal and to collect a certain amount of information relating to the navigation carried out from this terminal.

Cookies have several functions, such as allowing you to navigate efficiently on a website or mobile application, remembering your choices, the goods and services you wish to purchase, and offering you relevant advertising content according to your interests expressed during your navigation. You can find more information about cookies on the following websites

• www.cnil.fr
•  www.allaboutcookies.org
•  www.aboutcookies.org
•  www.youronlinechoices.eu

The cookies deposited by the Mandatory.gg Publisher, subject to your choices, give us access to the following information:

• Identifiers of the equipment you use (IP address of your computer, Android ID, Apple ID, etc.),
•  Type of operating system used by your terminal (Microsoft Windows, Apple Os, Linux, Unix, BeOS, Android, iOS, etc.),
•  Type and version of the browser software used by your terminal (Microsoft Internet Explorer, Apple Safari, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, etc.),
•  Dates and times of connection to our services,
•  Address of the referring web page,
•  Browsing data on our services, content viewed.

- Data collected through standard Internet technologies

We may also use standard Internet technologies such as scripts, pixels and redirects. Scripts (sometimes called tags), written in javascript, are programs that run in your browser or mobile application and perform various actions, such as sending information to our servers. Scripts are also capable of creating pixels. Pixels (sometimes called transparent GIFs, clear GIFs, or web bugs) are lines of code that display a graphic image (usually invisible) on a web page or in an email. Redirects make a web page available under multiple page addresses (URLs). When a browser opens a redirect URL, a page with a different URL is opened.

The purpose of these technologies is to enhance your experience on our sites and applications, including providing you with content tailored to your interests. For example, when a user clicks a share button on an article, a script creates a pixel that tracks the share. In this way, we are able to see the total number of shares of an article, and we can rank the most shared articles.

These technologies give us access to the following information, among others

• Information about your use of our sites and applications;
•  Information about the presence of cookies on your terminal, the time and date of a page view, and a description of the page where the web beacon is placed;
•  Information on whether or not you read the e-mails we send you, on the clicks you make on the links contained in these e-mails.

Our websites and mobile applications may also include third-party scripts, pixels and redirects. These technologies allow third party service providers to collect certain information such as your browser type, and the web page that redirected you to our websites or mobile applications. These third party service providers process the information they collect for auditing, research, and reporting information about our sites and applications and the advertisements viewed on them. We do not share your personally identifiable information with these third parties in connection with their use of these technologies.

- Data from mobile devices

Some mobile devices, depending on the permissions you have granted to the mobile application and which you can change at any time (e.g. "notification" or "geolocation"), send information such as your phone model, operating system version, connectivity type, name and version of the application used.

This data, which is necessary for the proper functioning of the mobile applications we publish, is automatically processed by our servers and those of some of our partners (in particular AT Internet, SmartAdServer, HockeyApp, Google Analytics) in order to provide you with a service and advertisements adapted to the technical characteristics of your device and to measure the audience of our mobile applications.

In addition, if you have accepted this feature, we may identify the physical location of your device (geolocation), in particular to inform you about content or offers that we believe are relevant to your interests or to improve your experience on our mobile applications. In accordance with applicable law, geolocation features can be disabled at any time in the system settings of your device.

3.4. The data we assume

By combining the data we have about you with general, anonymous statistical information, we may be able to make assumptions about the content and services that might suit your tastes or uses.

Example: If, according to statistical data, a majority of people aged between 30 and 50, living in Paris and interested in Valorant news, are also interested in tierlists, and you are one of our Parisian subscribers, aged 42, who regularly consult the "Streams and videos" content on our site, we will assume that you are also interested in competitions and we will be able to show you an advertisement for a subscription video-on-demand service, specialised in e-sport competitions, when browsing through our site

3.5 Data on minors

In principle, our products and services are intended for people who have reached the age of majority and are capable of entering into contractual obligations.

Users who are minors must obtain the consent of their legal guardians prior to the communication of personal data concerning them.

For registration on our sites and for some of our online services (e.g. newsletter), the age of 16 is accepted.

An Internet user who is under 18 years of age at the time of publication or creation of an online account has a specific right to the deletion of data concerning him/her.

If you have any questions about this document, you can contact the data protection officer of mandatory.gg.

3.6. Third party data

Before you offer a subscription or any other product or service that we market to a third party, you must ensure that the person concerned agrees to their personal data, including postal details, being passed on to us.

3.7. Exclusion of any sensitive data

The mandatory.gg website does not collect any sensitive data about you.
