Privacy policy
Thank you for visiting Nea's website and reading its privacy policy (hereinafter the Policy).
By browsing our website or using our systems or services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy and consent to the processing of your personal data and information in accordance with this Policy, where applicable.
This Privacy Policy is composed of the following elements:
Respect for privacy and the protection of personal information are essential to us, which is why, through this Policy, we intend to protect it in accordance with applicable laws.
To ensure this protection, Nea will only collect, process and share personally identifiable information with the consent of the individual, unless permitted or required by law, in which case your consent will not be required.
The purpose of the Policy is to inform users of why and how Nea, or anyone acting on its behalf, will collect and use their personal information. It is intended to be in plain language to ensure users' informed consent.
For the purposes of this Policy, "personal information" means any information about an identifiable individual or information that allows an individual to be identified. Wherever possible, we will anonymize, pseudonymize and/or aggregate such information so that it no longer identifies an individual.
This Policy applies as of September 12, 2023.
We are committed to obtaining consent before collecting personal information from an individual. Consent may be express or implied and may be provided directly by the individual or by his or her authorized representative.
We prefer to obtain express consent, whether verbally, electronically or in writing. However, implied consent may be reasonably inferred from a person's action or inaction. For example, providing a name and address to receive a publication, or a name and telephone number to obtain an answer to a question, is considered implied consent to the collection of information containing personal information. In determining the appropriate type of consent, we take into account the sensitivity of the personal information involved, the purposes for which it is collected and the reasonable expectations of a similarly situated individual.
If we want to use personal information for a new purpose, we will describe the intended use and ask for consent again.
It may not always be possible, particularly in the case of government requests, to obtain consent for the collection, use or disclosure of personal information. We will never disclose such information other than in accordance with this Policy, except as required or permitted by law.
Information is collected in accordance with the purposes and objectives set out in this privacy policy.
Some of the reasons we collect your personal information include:
- To provide products and services: We will collect and process the data and information necessary to fulfill our mission and contractual obligations.
- To provide and improve these products and services: Data collected during your interactions with our services may be used to analyze and improve the operation of our products and services.

In addition, collected and aggregated data may be processed by algorithms using artificial intelligence.
- To offer personalized products and services: Collecting and analyzing the data generated by your interactions with our services enables us to develop and create products and services that are relevant to your expectations in terms of culture and entertainment, in particular to plan adaptation measures for customers who require them.
- To evaluate the performance of products and services: Data is collected in order to obtain information on the advantages and disadvantages of our products and services, and to evaluate and resolve them if necessary, notably by means of surveys. This enables us to ensure the quality of our products and services, as well as promoting risk management.

This may include the use of automated systems to detect security problems.

We also process contact details and identifiers to help customers exercise their data protection rights.
Research. We use data to carry out research, particularly for scientific purposes and in the public interest, where permitted by law.
Nea attaches the utmost importance to the security of your personal information and undertakes to process it in accordance with industry standards and norms, solely for the purposes for which it is collected, as described in this policy or in a specific notice to that effect. However, given the inherent security limitations of transmission via the Internet, it is impossible to safeguard your personal information absolutely. Information transmitted to us is therefore ultimately at the user's own risk.
Nea ensures that all personal information in its possession is as accurate, current and complete as is necessary for the purposes for which it is to be used.
You have the right to request access to your personal information for verification purposes and to request a correction if your personal information is inaccurate. If you believe that your personal information is inaccurate, or if you wish to access your personal information, you may make a request using the contact information provided at the end of this Policy.
To the best of our ability, we will provide you with timely access to your personal information. However, for security reasons, we may need to verify your identity.
In addition, there may be circumstances where we will not be able to provide you with access to your personal information. In particular, when access may lead to the disclosure of another person's personal information and that person refuses to consent to its disclosure, or when legal restrictions apply. Should such a situation arise, we will advise you of the reason why we cannot provide you with access to your personal information.
If your request concerns data appearing on third-party web pages or platforms, please contact these third parties directly.
We do not share your personal information with companies, organizations, or individuals outside of Nea with the exception of our authorized suppliers and partners who need access to the information for the purposes listed in this policy and within the limits of this policy, as well as in the following cases:
In particular, we use the services of third-party suppliers to pool, clean and analyze data in the cultural sector, so that they can add value to this data and develop tools for the benefit of the public or players in the sector. To do this, these suppliers process the information provided in the following way:
Nea will not sell or rent your personal information to third parties.
