Purpose and scope of the data protection policy
Libeo is committed to a policy of ensuring the security, confidentiality and continuous protection of personal data (“data") belonging to the users of its services, in compliance with French and European regulations in force, in particular with the French Data Protection Act of 6 January 1978 (amended) and with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of 27 April 2016.
The purpose of this policy is to inform you of the data protection rules that we apply. In particular, it describes how we collect and process your personal data and how you can exercise your rights over such data.

In this context, some of our partners are our subcontractors. The privacy policy of our partner Treezor can be found on our website.
We apply a strict policy to ensure the protection of your data.
Thus:

The information we collect
Legal basis for collection
We collect your data on the basis of a legal obligation, a legitimate interest or your consent.
We collect your data through forms that you fill in on our website or via mobile apps which you use to subscribe to our services or those of our partners. We also collect your data when you correspond with us, including with our client service department, or when you contact us by email or telephone. When you do this, we keep a copy of the exchange. We may also collect your data when you interact with us on social media.
When you use our services, we receive information from you, such as information about your company, your invoices and your financial status. We may also collect additional information from you when you register or otherwise use our services. For example, you may choose to synchronise your account with other third-party accounts, such as your financial institutions. In order to synchronise information about your financial institutions, we need to access your financial account data.
The categories of data that we process are as follows:
In such cases, you may specifically request that a “human being” intervene in order to process your data, and oppose any automated data processing decisions implemented by LIBEO.
You may also specifically request a copy of all information you might consider useful regarding the functioning of the algorithm used for the purposes of automated processing, and ask LIBEO about the effects that such processing has on the data collected.
We also automatically collect your data when you log on to our website or use our mobile apps. The data collected is as follows:
We do not undertake any processing operations on personal data such as race or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs or trade union membership, nor do we process any biometric or genetic data, pursuant to Article 9 of the European General Regulation 2016/679 of 27 April 2016 on Data Protection. However, this undertaking may cease to apply if the legal or regulatory provisions require that the aforementioned personal data be processed.
Use of collected data
We collect and process your personal data for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes. As such, we use your data in connection with the performance of the payment services framework agreement into which you enter with us and Treezor. The objectives are as follows:
LIBEO undertakes not to process your data in a manner incompatible with the aforementioned purposes without your express prior consent.
When we collect your personal data, we will inform you if certain information is required or if it is optional. Mandatory data is required in order for us to operate the services. With regard to optional data, it is entirely up to you whether or not you decide to provide it. We also inform you of any possible consequences of your failing to provide it.
The recipients of the data collected
The data collected is intended for us and, where strictly necessary, for our subcontractors and partners involved in the provision of our services.
The personal data collected by our company on the website is for internal use only and will not be communicated, transferred or disclosed to any third parties, without your express authorisation, with the exception of any legal requisition provided for by legal provisions.
However, acceptance of these conditions implies your consent to our company being able to transmit the information collected with its clients, subcontractors and/or suppliers in order to perform the processing operations referred to in article 4 hereof.

You are hereby informed that in the event of inaccurate, incomplete or unreliable data being communicated, any request based on article 32 of Law no. 78-17 of 6 January 2018 "pertaining to data processing, files and freedoms" cannot be made, such that you acknowledge that our company may not be held liable in this respect.

In the case of specific instructions, they may also be entrusted to the data controllers in the event of death. They are governed by the data subject’s specific consent and may not result simply from their approval of the general terms and conditions of use.
In the absence of instructions issued by the person during their lifetime, their heirs will have the opportunity to exercise certain rights, in particular:
