Recipients

Your data is intended for the staff of ICS Security Trust in charge of handling your request. It is never sold, rented or transferred for advertising purposes. Two technical service providers process it on our instructions alone:

  • Hostinger International Limited — hosting of the website and of the data it holds, on infrastructure located in Paris, France.
  • Google Ireland Limited — delivery of the notification emails generated by the contact form, through the Gmail service.

Transfers outside the EU

The website and its data are hosted within the European Union. However, the routing of notification emails through the Gmail service may involve a transfer to Google LLC in the United States. Such transfers are governed by the standard contractual clauses adopted by the European Commission and by the EU–US Data Privacy Framework, to which Google has certified.

Cookies

This website uses no advertising cookie, no audience measurement and no third-party tracker. A single cookie is placed, named ics_access, and only once you sign in to the reserved area. It holds your session, expires after eight hours, is inaccessible to scripts (HttpOnly) and is not sent to third-party sites (SameSite=Lax). It is deleted when you sign out.

Being strictly necessary to provide a service you have expressly requested, this cookie does not require your prior consent.

Your rights

Under the General Data Protection Regulation, you have the right to access, rectify and erase your data, to restrict or object to its processing, and to data portability. Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out beforehand.

To exercise these rights, write to contact@ics-security-trust.com. We may ask you for proof of identity where there is reasonable doubt. We will respond within one month of receiving your request.

If you consider, after contacting us, that your rights have not been respected, you may lodge a complaint with the CNIL — 3 place de Fontenoy, TSA 80715, 75334 Paris Cedex 07, www.cnil.fr.

Security

Access to reserved content is protected by authentication, exchanges with this website are encrypted in transit, and passwords are stored as salted, irreversible cryptographic imprints. Reserved documents are held outside the publicly served directory and are delivered only after a session check.
