User's Charter

viaFrance would like to establish a climate of trust with web surfers and the events information providers posted on its website www.viafrance.com

·Anyone supplying any personal information must do so of their own free will:

In no event can we obtain this information without the consent of the person concerned.

Affiliation: You have signed up to receive daily information feeds based on the criteria you chose. For this purpose you have specified the type of event, the location of the events and the number of events you wish to have access to (1st step). After confirming your choice (2nd step) you have sent us your details (e-mail address, name, etc) in order to validate your registration and confirm our mutual commitments (3rd step).

Adding an event: You are an events organizer and have decided to add your event to our events database.

E-mail: The information provided when you contact us via e-mail simply enables us to respond to your request as effectively as possible. No unsolicited e-mails will be sent to you without your consent.

·The personal data you provide will be used for the following reasons only:

To enable us to offer you events information tailored to suit your needs and personal preferences, and to inform you via e-mail of our new products and/or services.

When you add an event to our site http://www.viafrance.com we post the following information about you: the name of the contact, their address, telephone and e-mail address.

Given the nature of the internet - that is to say, the free harnessing of information posted, and the difficulty, if not impossibility, of having any kind of control over the way in which that information is used by a third party - we feel it is our duty to inform you that you may refuse to let this information be posted. In this event, please inform us of your decision and viaFrance assures you they will not pass on your personal data to a third party for any commercial purposes.

If within a month of your receiving this letter we do not receive any reply from you, we will assume that you have no objection to your data being posted on the Internet. You may however ask us to stop diffusing your information at any time after this.

Under current French law (article 34 of the "Freedom and information technology" law of January 6, 1978), you have the right to access, modify, edit and delete any of the personal data you have provided us with. In order to exercise this right, simply send us a letter at the following address:
