Privacy policy

Data controller

The data controller is QOWA Consulting FZE, a company established in the United Arab Emirates whose full details are given in the legal notice, reachable at contact@qowa-consulting.com.

This policy only covers data collected through this website. Documents entrusted to us by clients as part of an assignment are covered by a separate data processing agreement, in accordance with Article 28 of the GDPR.

Data collected

When you use the contact form, we receive your name, company, email address, the selected need and your message.

The compliance test is calculated in your browser and nothing is sent unless you request your report. If you do, we receive your email address, your score and your answers.

As with any website, the hosting provider records technical connection data, such as the IP address, the date and the page viewed, in logs used for the security of the service. This website sets no cookies and uses no audience measurement tool.

Purposes and legal bases

Your data is used to answer your request and send you the requested report, on the basis of pre-contractual steps taken at your request (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR).

When you tick the relevant box, it is also used to follow up with you after the report is sent, on the basis of your consent, which you may withdraw at any time (Article 6(1)(a)).

Technical logs are used to secure the website and prevent abuse, on the basis of our legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f)).

Retention periods

Exchanges that do not lead to an assignment are kept for three years from your last contact, then deleted. Exchanges relating to an assignment are kept for the duration of the relationship, then for the applicable limitation period. Technical logs are kept by the hosting provider for no longer than one year.

Recipients

Your data is reserved for QOWA. It is also processed by our hosting provider o2switch, as a processor, for hosting the website and email. It is never sold or rented. It is only shared with a partner law firm with your prior consent.

Hosting and transfers

The website and email are hosted in France. As QOWA is established in the United Arab Emirates, your messages are read there. As the UAE does not benefit from an adequacy decision of the European Commission, these transfers are covered by appropriate safeguards within the meaning of Article 46 GDPR, in particular the standard contractual clauses adopted by the Commission, a copy of which can be provided on request.

QOWA also complies with UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on the protection of personal data.

Security

Exchanges with the website are encrypted over HTTPS. Access to the hosting and email accounts is restricted to QOWA and protected by two-factor authentication.

Your rights

You have the right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and portability, as well as the right to withdraw your consent and to set instructions regarding your data after your death. To exercise them, write to contact@qowa-consulting.com. We will reply within one month.

If you believe your rights have not been respected, you may lodge a complaint with the French data protection authority (CNIL), www.cnil.fr, or with the data protection authority of your country of residence.
