MGEL undertakes, within the framework of this Data Protection Charter, to implement organizational and technical measures in accordance with current regulations. This Charter demonstrates MGEL’s commitments in its daily activities, particularly concerning the management of its websites.
This document aims to inform our tenants, prospects, students, parents of students, and anyone likely to be affected by data collection by MGEL or one of its subcontractors (processing personal data), about the use, sharing, and/or transfer of data, their rights, the procedures implemented by MGEL, and how we process the personal data we collect or that you provide to us.
Glossary
Personal Data (PD):
Personal Data, hereinafter PD, refers to all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (by cross-referencing data).
Concept of processing:
This refers to all operations carried out by automatic or non-automatic means, relating to the collection, recording, development, modification, storage, destruction, editing of data, and generally their exploitation.
Data Controller (here MGEL):
This refers to the natural or legal person who determines the purposes and means of processing.
Processor (processing PD):
This refers to legal entities that process personal data on behalf of a data controller.
Principles applicable to personal data protection
Accountability:
MGEL, as well as all its employees, undertake to respect the fundamental principles of personal data protection and to maintain up-to-date documentation relating to its commitments. In this regard, this Charter is one of the means implemented by MGEL for this accountability objective.
MGEL also requires all its subcontractors to provide appropriate guarantees to ensure the security and confidentiality of personal data.
Lawfulness, fairness, and transparency:
All personal data processing is carried out in strict compliance with regulations, meaning that all personal data processing will be based on an adequate legal basis (including consent, fulfillment of a legal obligation, or MGEL’s legitimate interest, such as commercial development or the security of property or persons).
This data is collected fairly; no collection is made without the knowledge of individuals and without them being informed.
Depending on the services you require, you will be asked to provide mandatory and/or optional information. MGEL undertakes to respect your privacy and protect the information you provide. Any information collected will only be kept for the time necessary to process your requests and/or perform the requested services in accordance with current regulations.
In the event of personal data processing based on the consent of a data subject, MGEL specifies that the said data subject has the discretionary right to withdraw their consent for the purpose(s) presented, in compliance with legal and regulatory provisions.
Adequacy, minimization, and limitation:
The types and quantities of personal data processed are determined adequately, taking into account specific purposes. No data other than what is necessary is processed.
Accuracy and Retention:
Personal data undergoing processing is accurate and, if necessary, kept up to date or modified to maintain its adequacy for the processing it undergoes.
Personal data is retained for a limited period that does not exceed the duration necessary for the collection purposes. Data retention periods are brought to the attention of individuals and vary according to the nature of the data, the purpose of the processing, or legal or regulatory requirements. In the absence of a precise duration, MGEL presents the criteria used to determine this duration.
For example, any data used in the context of a contact request cannot be retained for more than 3 years from the last contact. In any case, and subject to contrary regulatory provisions, no retention period may exceed 5 years, in application of legal prescription periods.
