The legal ground may be one of the following:

Our legitimate interests GDPR 6 (1) (f): Where it is necessary for us to understand our customer, promote our product and operate our Services efficiently for the creation, publication and distribution of product and marketing content both online and offline, globally. Examples of when we rely on our legitimate interests to use your personal data include:

• when we analyze what content has been viewed on our Services, so that we can understand how they are used and improve our content.

This includes when we promote our own products and services. For example, we look at what you have viewed on our Services and what products and services you have bought (including what you have looked at and what products or services you have bought on Services, for example Petite Frites Jobs). 
• to show you personalized advertising by identifying your interests and to create “segments” of particular types of audiences so that we may show you advertisements that may be more relevant to your interests and the ‘’segments’’ you may be in. These ‘’segments’’ are also used to inform the building of custom audiences so that we can identify our audience across third party websites, such as social media platforms like Facebook.
• for internal administrative purposes related to when you use our Services - such as our accounting and records - and to make you aware of any changes to our Services.
• to collect and log IP addresses to improve the Services and monitor Service usage.

• enabling you to share our content with others using social media or email.

Data Transfers

Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EU, we ensure similar protection and put in place at least one of these safeguards:

• We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been found by the EU Commission to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data.
• We may also use specific approved contracts that use Standard Contractual Clauses for the protection of personal data where appropriate, with our service providers that are based in countries outside the EU, including those based in the US and Australia. These contracts give your personal data the same protection it has in the EU.

If you are located in the EEA, you may contact us for a copy of the safeguards which we have put in place for the transfer of your personal data outside the EU.

• You are also entitled to oppose the processing of your personal data and to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.
• You have in particular an unconditional right to oppose the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes.
• If the processing of your personal data is based on your consent, you are entitled to revoke such consent at any time. Revocation of your consent will not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out prior to your revocation of consent.
• You are entitled to receive personal data which you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format (data portability).
• You can always lodge a complaint with an EU data protection authority.

Your rights may be subject to conditions or restrictions. Accordingly, there is no certainty that you will be entitled to for example data portability in the specific situation; it will depend on the circumstances of the processing.
