5. Who are the recipients of your Personal Data?
Your Data is primarily intended for use by our teams. It may sometimes be communicated to external recipients for the reasons described below. In any event, the recipients of your Data are selected by us on the basis of their competence in terms of Data security and confidentiality. We sign contracts with these recipients to ensure that their systems maintain a high level of security. These include our service provider in charge of the trade-in service; our service providers in charge of optimising and analysing the operation of our websites, ensuring your transactions and the security of payments; our service providers in charge of logistics (storage, preparation and delivery of your products), or our customer service; and our service providers in charge of marketing and sales research.

6. Transfers of your Personal Data outside the European Union
In the event that Personal Data is transferred to a country outside the European Union, we undertake to take the necessary technical and organisational measures to guarantee an equivalent level of security for your Data as if it had remained within the European Union.
We require these Data recipients to implement the necessary measures to ensure the same level of protection as that required by European regulations on personal data, for example by using the European Commission's standard contractual clauses, the so-called Binding Corporate Rules (BCR).
7. Security and confidentiality of your Personal Data
We implement technical and organisational measures to ensure the security, integrity, authenticity and confidentiality of Personal Data. We ensure that our partners maintain a similar level of protection for your Personal Data as we do. We also ensure that your transactions are secure by implementing appropriate measures to combat fraud.
8. How long do we keep your Personal Data?
We keep your Personal Data for the time strictly necessary to achieve the purposes for which it was collected. We therefore keep:
- your Personal Data, with the exception of your bank details, which are collected and processed by our service providers responsible for managing payments, for 3 years from the date of the last interaction between us (i.e. your last purchase, the last contact (call, email, chat or social network interaction) with our customer service department, the opening of our newsletter, or, failing that, the date on which the customer profile was created);
- connection logs, which are collected, with your consent, using cookies and other trackers used as part of the service, for a period not exceeding thirteen (13) months. For more details, please refer to the "Cookie Policy"
Your bank details are kept by our payment partners. When you place your order, you will need to enter your bank details in the fields provided.
Once your Data has been deleted from our database, some of your Data may be kept in archive form with restricted and strictly limited access for the purposes of satisfying our legal, accounting and tax obligations, as well as to manage any claims and guarantee claims within the applicable limitation periods.
Once your Personal Data is no longer required for the purposes for which it was collected or for archiving purposes in order to comply with our legal obligations or for the purposes of the applicable limitation periods, your Data will be irreversibly anonymised.
At any time, you may ask us to delete all or part of your Data, object to its processing or request that it be limited, in accordance with Article 4 above. If you request that your Data be deleted, it will be removed from our database and kept in archive form as indicated above.
