In some countries, including within the European Economic Area, certain information may be considered to be personal data under the applicable data protection laws.

We use that information for internal analysis and to improve our website’s quality and relevance to our visitors. Some information may be collected using cookies and similar tracking technologies.
Information we collect from third parties
From time to time, we may receive personal information about you from third-party sources (including retailers, distributors and other third parties that sell our products), but only if those third parties are allowed or required by law to disclose your personal information to us. The types of information we may collect from third parties include contact information, billing data and shipping details. We use the information we receive from those third parties to supply the requested product(s).
How we use the information
In general, we only use the personal information we collect for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or for similarly compatible purposes or for purposes explained to you at the time when we collected your personal information.
In particular, we use your information to:
- Supply the products you buy, comply with our agreements with our and manage our business relationship;

We may also use your information in an approved form which does not allow for the identification of individual customers, in order to evaluate and improve our portfolios.
Legal basis for processing personal data
For the European Economic Area, our legal basis for collecting and using the personal data described above will depend on the personal information in question and on the specific purposes for which we are collecting and requesting it.
That being said, we only collect personal information from you in one of the following instances:
- You have given your consent;
- We need your personal information to provide a service or execute a contract or agreement concluded with you; or
- Its processing is in our legitimate interest and is not supplanted by your data protection interests or by your fundamental rights and freedoms.
In some cases, we may be bound by law to collect personal information from you or may otherwise need your personal information to protect your vital interests or those of another person.
If you have any questions or require further information about the legal basis upon which we collect and use your personal data, please contact us using the contact information provided below.
Information we share
We may disclose your personal information to the following categories of recipients:
- Our third-party service providers, including transport service providers, retailers and distributors, and sales agencies;
- Any competent law enforcement organization, regulatory or government agency, court or other third party to whom we believe it is necessary to disclose the personal information (i) under current laws or regulations, (ii) in order to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights or (iii) to protect your vital interests or those of another person;
- • Relating to a proposed purchase, merger, reorganization, acquisition, dissolution or liquidation of any part of our company, to the extent that we inform that third party that your personal information must only be used for the purposes laid down in this Privacy Policy;
- Any other person to whom you have authorized us to disclose your information.
How we protect personal information
We take data protection and the right to privacy very seriously. We have organizational, technical and physical protection systems in place to protect personal information from destruction, loss, alteration, access, disclosure and accident, illegal or unauthorized use. Given that the submission of information over the Internet is never entirely secure, we cannot guarantee the security of the information you submit over the Internet. Such submissions of information will take place at your own risk.
Data storage
We store the personal information we collect from you when we have a legitimate ongoing business need to do so (for example, to supply a product to you).
If we have no legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will delete it or anonymize it or, if that is not possible (for example, because your personal information is stored in archived backups), then we will store your personal information securely and will isolate it from any further processing, until such time as it can be deleted.
Your rights and options
To the extent allowed by the applicable law for your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:
- Access certain of your personal information that we have in our possession and obtain a copy of that information;
- Update or correct any inaccuracies in that information;
- Challenge our use of your personal information;
- Block or delete your personal information from our database;
- Challenge the processing of your personal information;
- Ask us to restrict the processing of your personal information;
- Request the transferability of your personal information.
You also have the right to refuse to receive the marketing communications we send you, at any time. You can exercise that right by clicking on the unsubscribe links in the marketing emails we send you.
Likewise, if we have collected and processed your personal information with your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. The withdrawal of your consent will not affect the legality of any processing we performed prior to that withdrawal, nor will it affect the processing of your personal information performed on a legal basis other than consent.
You have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority concerning the way we collect and use your personal information. For more information, please contact your data protection authority.
To exercise these rights, please write to comtesdeprovence@agronovae.com. We will handle your request in accordance with current data protection laws. To protect your privacy and maintain data security, we may take measures to verify your identity before granting you access to your information.
Links to other websites
Our website may contain links to third-party sites. We are not responsible for the contents or privacy practices employed by other websites.
International data transfers
Your personal information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your country of residence. Those countries’ data protection laws may differ from the laws in effect in your country (and in some cases may not offer as much protection).
However, we have taken appropriate precautions to ensure that your personal information will remain protected in accordance with this Privacy Policy. When we transfer your personal information to other countries, we rely on at least one of the following:
- The European Commission’s adequacy decisions recognizing that countries outside the EEA have national laws that protect personal information according to standards which are substantially similar to the ones required by EU law;
- The European Commission’s standard contractual clauses which require recipients of personal information located outside the EEA to continue to protect the personal information they receive in accordance with the standards required by EU law;
- Other legal data transfer mechanisms or legal dispensations from restrictions on data transfers.
More information is available on request.
Changes and contact
We may update this Privacy Policy in response to legal, technical or business developments. Whenever we update our Privacy Policy, we will take appropriate steps to inform of the changes we are making, depending on their scope. We will obtain your consent to any significant changes to the Privacy Policy, if and when required by current data protection laws.
