2. PERSONAL DATA YOU PROVIDE US

Account Data

Clients must provide certain personal data when registering for our services through our website, including their name, address, phone number, billing information (such as credit card number), and the type of personal computer used to access the services. The personal data collected from clients during registration is used to manage the client’s account (e.g., for billing purposes). Unless otherwise specified or under special circumstances, this data will not be shared with third parties. However, in cases where Riopel and a partner (as defined in the service agreement for partners) jointly promote the services, Riopel may provide the partner with certain personal data, such as names, addresses, and usernames of individuals subscribing to the services, as part of a joint promotion aimed solely at allowing us and our partner to evaluate the results of the promotion. In such cases, the partner may not use the personal data for any other purpose. Riopel may also generate aggregate and anonymous profiles based on the personal data provided by clients during registration (e.g., the total number but not the names of clients). As explained in more detail below, we may use this aggregate and anonymous data to sell advertisements displayed on our website or other sites.

Other Data

We collect the personal data you voluntarily provide via our website, for example, when you request a free trial or demo software, inquire about our products or services, sign up for a webinar, contact us, subscribe to our email newsletter, or download content (such as a white paper).
