We ensure an appropriate level of security, taking into account the state of knowledge, implementation costs, and the nature, scope, context, and purposes of the processing, as well as the risks and their probability.

3.1 Sharing your personal data with third-party companies

During your navigation on the Site, your personal data may be transmitted to external service providers. These third parties provide a service on our behalf and in our name to facilitate the proper functioning of credit card payments and other Services.

Personal data may be transferred to countries outside the European Union when transporting artworks outside the union. According to the GDPR, all transfers of personal data to a country outside the European Union and/or not offering a level of protection deemed sufficient by the European Commission have been the subject of cross-border flow agreements in accordance with the standard contractual clauses issued by the European Commission.

Other transfers of personal data to the United States are governed by the E.U. – U.S. PRIVACY SHIELD: click here for more information.

Unless a third party asks you to accept a privacy policy and terms of use specific to them, third-party companies that have been provided with your personal data are committed to processing your personal data only for the implementation of our Services. We will never share your personal data with third-party companies for marketing and/or commercial purposes without obtaining your prior consent.

3.2 Sharing with authorities

We may disclose your personal data to administrative or judicial authorities when disclosure is necessary for the identification, apprehension, or prosecution of any individual likely to harm our rights, any other user, or a third party. We may also be legally required to disclose your personal data, and in this case, we cannot object.

In any case, we will retain your personal data for a duration not exceeding that necessary for the purposes for which they are processed, in accordance with the uses outlined in this Policy and in compliance with laws and regulations

4. Cookies: how do we use them?

4.1 What is a cookie?

A cookie is a text file that may be deposited on a terminal when consulting an online service with a browsing software. A cookie file allows its issuer, during its validity period, to recognise the terminal concerned each time this terminal accesses digital content containing cookies from the same issuer.

In any case, cookies placed on your browsing terminal with your consent are destroyed 13 months after being deposited on your terminal.

4.2 What are the cookies issued on our Site used for?

The cookies we issue allow us to:

• Adapt the presentation of our Site to the display preferences of your terminal (language used, display resolution, operating system used, etc.) during your visits to our Site, depending on the hardware and visualisation or reading software your terminal has.

Continuing to browse to another page on the site or selecting an element of the Site (e.g., image, text, link, etc.) signifies your acceptance of the deposit of the cookies mentioned on your computer.

4.3 How can you control the cookies used?

You can configure your browsing software at any time to allow cookies to be stored on your terminal or, conversely, to reject them (either systematically or depending on the issuer).

Warning: Any settings are likely to change your Internet navigation and your conditions of access to certain services requiring the use of cookies. We disclaim any responsibility for the consequences related to the degraded operation of our services resulting from the inability to save or consult cookies necessary for their operation that you have refused or deleted. This would be the case if you try to access our content or services that require identification. This would also be the case when we (or our providers) could not recognize, for technical compatibility purposes, the type of browser used by your terminal, its language and display settings, or the country from which your terminal seems to be connected to the Internet.
