Personal data – GDPR and CNIL
The controller of personal data is Authenk, a French simplified joint-stock company (SAS), whose details appear in the “Website publisher” section.
The personal data collected by Authenk is strictly necessary for operating the service, managing user accounts, billing and securing the platform.
Processing is based on the performance of the contract between the user and Authenk, compliance with legal obligations and the publisher’s legitimate interest in the proper operation and security of the service.
