The data that we collect

The data that we collect on this site relate solely to visitors and holders of an account on the DOVIT website.

We process your data on a voluntary basis or when it is necessary to ensure ongoing access to our website or to provide you with the most suitable services for your specific circumstances. Depending on the case, the collection and processing of your data is therefore based on:

• your consent [Article 6.1), a) of the GDPR], whenever you ask DOVIT for specific services (newsletters, personalised contact, etc.);
• a contractual requirement or prior to a contract between you and DOVIT [Article 6.2), b) of the GDPR], when you enter into a contract with DOVIT and either you or DOVIT must comply with a contractual obligation (accessing and operating home automation equipment, entering into the contract, identifying the client in order to provide the service, etc.);
• DOVIT’s legitimate interests, such as maintaining and improving the services offered on our website [Article 6.1), f) of the GDPR];
• In some cases, la loi we may be obliged by law to collect certain data, such as metadata [Article 6.1), c) of the GDPR].

We collect the information that you provide to us through the use of our website or by other means when required (emails, etc.). The confidentiality of information provided in this way is of course of prime importance for DOVIT.

(a) The type of information collected in this way specifically includes, depending on your usage of our website:

• The location given by your browser;
• IP address;
• Metadata (connection times, your connection speed, webpages viewed, etc.) ;
• Any other information required to view, access or use our website.

b) If a Dovit account is created (particularly to access remote Dovit services using a smartphone app)), the following categories of information may be collected:

• User identification data (surname, first name, username, password, date of birth, etc.) ;
• Contact details (email address, telephone number, postal address, etc.) ;
• User preference data (languages used, country, type of mobile device, type of computer system used.

(c) If Dovit’s remote home automation services are used, the following information may also be collected in addition to the categories of information shown in points (a) and (b) above:

• Identification of the building concerned (description, serial number, full postal address);
• Identification of the home automation equipment (router number, access codes, etc.).

Furthermore, if the persons concerned indicate their consent, we collect and process their identification and contact data in order to keep them informed of relevant announcements and newsletters concerning DOVIT. You will be given details of the information requested, which may include: surnames, first names, email address, telephone number or any other information needed to provide you with the requested service. 

Do we share the information collected in this way?

We do not send your private data to any third parties except at your express request or for the strict purpose of fulfilling our legal obligations.

For instance, it may happen that we provide some of your personal data to a public authority (court, police, etc.) that requests us to do so and that has the legal authority to demand such information from us. 

Pursuing criminal offences, particularly anti-money-laundering and terrorist financing are among the rare circumstances in which we are occasionally obliged to provide some of your personal data.

We do not sell your personal data and do not provide them to third parties for commercial purposes. However, as already stated in point II (“Cookies”) of this legal notice, we cannot verify how third-party companies collect and process data collected using their own third-party cookies for their own purposes, which differ from those of DOVIT.

Security of your data

The personal data that we process are kept securely and access to them is restricted to authorised persons.

We have implemented both physical and technical security measures to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of your personal data. For instance, your data are regularly saved on a back-up server, thereby enabling us to ensure that your data are not damaged or lost.

Whenever you communicate with us and also when you provide personal data, it is important that you should protect yourself from any attempted data capture or intrusion. Use robust passwords, log off your computer after each session and encrypt your messages and documents whenever possible. DOVIT cannot be held liable for any physical or moral damage or loss you may incur as a result of a security breach or negligence on your part.

If you wish to access your own personal data, we may ask you to provide proof of your identity in order to ensure the security of such data.

Furthermore, your data are only kept for the time needed for the purpose for which they were collected. As a rule, we keep data from cookies or other metadata no longer than 12 (twelve) months after collecting them. The exception to this retention period is in the event of being legally obliged to keep your data for a longer period. For instance, as part of our obligation to keep commercial documents and invoices, we are obliged to keep such data for a minimum period of 10 (ten) years.

You have several rights with regard to your personal data:

• The right to request access to your personal data;
• The right to request the rectification of your personal data;
• The right to request the deletion of your personal data;
• The right to request a restriction on the processing of your personal data and to understand the impact of such a restriction;
• The right to object to the processing of your personal data and to understand the impact of such an objection;
• The right to the portability of your personal data;
• When the processing of your data is based on your consent, the right to withdraw your consent at any time without such withdrawal affecting the lawfulness of the previous processing;
• The right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling;
• The right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority.
