Users can request an updated list of processors involved in the processing of personal information relevant to the site's activities by writing an email to: CONATCT@GINISSIMA.COM
The operator must always reserve the right to disclose personal information about users as required by law (for example, in response to law enforcement requests) and where necessary to protect the rights of the operator, its affiliates or third parties.
In addition, personal information may be disclosed to other companies within the same corporate group of each operator or to third parties in the event of a corporate restructuring process, in full compliance with applicable law.
In any other cases, the exchange of personal information will be conditional on the prior and explicit consent of the user, unless the processing is permitted under an alternative legal basis.
The operator will not transfer personal information outside the European Economic Area (EEA), unless the user has explicitly authorized this transfer, and the transfer of personal information outside the EEA is permitted by the GDPR on another legal basis.

Data processing agreements are in place with processors to ensure that they always meet the level of security required by the GDPR while processing personal information related to website activities.
