The website and its technical service providers may also process data strictly necessary for its operation and security, such as IP address, request date and time, browser type, technical logs and anti-spam data.

Data recipients
Information is accessible only to persons authorised by BALING SASU and, to the extent strictly necessary, to technical service providers responsible for hosting, security, form operation and email delivery.
The website is hosted on WordPress.com. Personal data is not sold, rented or disclosed to third parties for commercial purposes without prior notice and, where required by law, your consent.
Retention periods
- Enquiries not leading to a contract: up to three years from collection or from your most recent contact.
- Contractual relationship: for the duration of the relationship, followed by restricted archival storage for the periods required by legal duties and the defence of BALING SASU’s rights.
- Technical and security data: for no longer than necessary to secure and diagnose the service, in accordance with the settings and policies of the relevant providers.
- Marketing objection: the minimum information required to honour your objection may be retained for at least three years solely for that purpose.
International transfers
Some technical service providers operate internationally. Data may therefore be processed from countries outside the European Economic Area. Where such transfers occur, they must be covered by a mechanism recognised under the GDPR, such as an adequacy decision or the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses.
Your rights
Subject to the conditions of the GDPR, you may request access to, rectification or erasure of your data, restriction of processing or data portability. You may object to processing based on legitimate interests and withdraw your consent at any time where processing relies on consent.
To exercise your rights, contact ludovic@baling.events or write to BALING SASU, 8 rue Nicole-Reine-Lepaute, 75013 Paris, stating the purpose of your request. Proof of identity will be requested only where there is reasonable doubt as to your identity.
If you believe your rights have not been respected, you may lodge a complaint with the French data protection authority, the CNIL.
Cookies and trackers
The website may use cookies strictly necessary for operation, security, language selection and preference management. These trackers do not require consent where they meet the applicable exemption criteria.
Any analytics, personalisation or third-party service cookie that is not strictly necessary must be activated only after your choice. You can accept, refuse or change your preferences through the cookie management module available on the website.
Security and policy updates
BALING SASU implements proportionate organisational and technical measures to preserve the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data. As no online service can guarantee absolute security, these measures are reviewed in light of risks and changes to the website.
This policy may be updated to reflect regulatory, technical or functional changes. The latest update date appears at the top of the page.
