In a nutshell

We strive to meet your reasonable expectations and crowdsource so that we all benefit from a user-centric privacy monitoring tool online: those Terms of services are drafted to specify what we think is relevant to help us set, share & enforce our privacy right(s).

Our Terms of services in detail

Introductive & explanatory words

Those Terms of services are drafted to inform you in full details about how ID side will provide you with its services, that is to say how we will you set, share & enforce your Privacy Choices, for free, and how, doing so on ID side, you will stand for a user-centric privacy monitoring.

Our Privacy Policy and Legal mentions respectively set how we process your personal data and provide you with legal information, so that you know what your rights are and how you are enabled to enforce those.

As further explained in our Privacy Policy, the data processing we carry out today is fully in line with the services we propose and that you sign-in for: we strive so that no specific provisions in our Terms of services would be likely to breach any of your reasonable expectations.

As the legal ground we rely on to process your personal data requires so, we fairly ask you to tick “our Terms of services” box when you register to ID side. Be assured that we did our best effort to draft it in a legal but also in a predictive way :).

Legal aspects

This website is available to all, for personal use, free of charge and subject to compliance with the Terms set out below.

By principle, you undertake to access the information provided on our website exclusively for personal and non commercial use. You may only use ID side website for legitimate purposes and not use it or misappropriate it for purposes contrary to Fairness, Public Order and ID siders’ collective & individual rights, interests and reasonable expectations.

When you do access our website (and any content thereof), you agree to be bound by these Terms of services and to comply with any applicable laws and regulations.

After reading, would you disagree to these Terms of services (or some of its provisions), we kindly ask you to refrain proceeding further on our website, signing-in or, if already signed-in, we suggest you contact us to share your specific observations at contact@idside.eu before signing-off. We will do our utmost to quickly come back to you.

Caveats:

1/ By continuing to access ID side Content and use our website & services after the changes added in our Terms become effective, you will be contractually bound by such changes.

2/ For the purpose of these Terms of services, the word “Content” means any written text, software or database, graphic or image, photo or video, podcast or digital material or any other information forming part our website.

Registration to ID side

ID side services are only available if you register first. But you do not have to register to access all Content generated on our website. For instance, Users can publicly access Privacy Choices ,whether signed in or not.

If you do register, we ask you to provide only few personal information: as described in our Privacy Policy, only your name or pseudo, one valid e-mail address (and your ID side's password), and, where appropriate, whether you are less than 15, are mandatory. Because we just can’t provide our service otherwise

Even if obvious for most of you, we feel the need to remind you that your ID and passwords are confidential, personal and nontransferable and that you are responsible for their management and safekeeping. Any substantial adverse effect or consequence of their misuse would be of your responsibility. This is why you are responsible for taking all reasonable measures necessary for their protection. Based on the latter, ID side may not be held liable for any fraudulent use of your credentials.

As suggested when you register, you would be fully accountable in following CNIL's recommendations on the topic. Should your password be compromised, we do not guarantee the security of the information you provide us with against unauthorised or unlawful access or use.

For security reasons, access to secure sections might be automatically barred after 10 failed access attempts. 

General provisions

Should a provision of these Terms of services be or become illegal, invalid or unenforceable in one country, the latter will not affect the legality, validity or enforceability of any other provision of these Terms of services in that country or in other jurisdictions.

Your rights under these Terms of services may be exercised as often as you reasonably deem necessary. We would be grateful that you exercise such rights digitally and in writing (using contact@idside.eu).

Any notice or communication in connection with these Terms of services might initially be provided in English. In case of doubt on the meaning of some provisions in other languages (whether such provisions are laid down in these Terms , our Privacy Policy, our Cookies Policy or our Legal mentions), we invite you, if you can, to check & review the English version. Otherwise, thanks for directly contacting us at contact@idside.eu. We will do our best to help you out! Should there remain any doubt, and under the reservation of ID side’s team specific feedback on your comment or request, the French or English translations shall prevail (most specific provisions prevailing on most generic ones).

Obviously, we do not monitor or control external websites and we do not endorse or accept any responsibility for their content or operation (i.e. Vimeo to watch our online Motion Design Video for instance).

Nevertheless, in accordance with the principle of storage limitation, should you not use your ID side account for more than 12 months, we may send you a notification before deleting your registration -and any associated information & data- in order to check such deletion makes sense to you.

Roughly three weeks after such notification, should your last sign-in on ID side side go back to roughly 13 months, your account will be deleted by our services. Just because you do not make it clear that your reasonable expectation is to keep a valid account on ID side and also because your privacy choices on ID side are likely to be irrelevant.

Governing law / place of jurisdiction

These Terms of services shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with French law. ID side recognises the jurisdiction of the competent courts of Paris, France.

Local access restrictions

ID side is designed for all internet users. However, we understand that our website (a “.eu” one) might not be directed to or intended for use by any person resident or located in any country. If any such local access restriction applies to you, you might not be authorised to access nor use any of ID side Content. As a crowdsourced website we would appreciate your feedbacks on such restrictions (contact@idside.eu).

Please also note that these Terms of services are based on EU standards requirements and might include legal information specific to one or several countries, such as corporate and contact information, local licensing information or other local disclosure requirements. Our section on Legal mentions & more provides such information. As a crowdsourced website, we would appreciate your feedbacks on such requirements (contact@idside.eu).

Warning for non-resident in France or in EU

The access to the information and products on our website could be subject to restriction for persons residing in countries other than France, or on a larger scale other than EU Member States.

Despite we deeply regret it, none of our services target persons from countries that would prohibit such services. Of course, we remain available (contact@idside.eu) to adapt our services or promote any change that would help people from any country to better monitor their privacy online, in a user-centric & crowdsourced way.

All ID siders accessing our service are more than welcome to share information that would help ID side team to better advise ID side community on any applicable legal constraint.

No offer

The Content of our website is just for information purposes: no Content available on our site constitutes a solicitation, an offer, or a recommendation to buy any services or solutions, to effect any transactions or to conclude any legal act of any kind whatsoever.

In making ID side Content available, we give no advice and make no recommendation to buy or sell any product or service. 

ID side Content does not constitute or form part of an offer for sale. It does not constitute an invitation to effect any transaction.

Aggregated data, statistics & crowdsourcing

Because of the contributions we receive from you, some of which might be incomplete or not entirely correct in a strictly speaking scientific understanding, or include personal opinions that are based on subjective interpretations of information available at a given time, all the aggregated data we share and related statistics might not necessarily reflect the proper views of ID side community.

This is why stats, comments, summaries storytelling, opinions and any exploitation of data resulting from the use of ID side must be understood as a statement to be reviewed, applying scientific criteria. The liability of ID side cannot be engaged for sharing such crowdsourced contents.

Cautionary statement on Forward-looking statements

Certain statements and Content on ID side are forward-looking. These statements and Content (including as to our priorities, strategy or plans, objectives or targets) provide aspirations and expectations.

Such forward-looking statements (that you can flag with wording such as “aim at”, “strive to”, “priority”, “make it better”, “help you”, “expect”, “foresee”, “intend”, “so that”, “anticipate”, “assume”, “believe”, “think” or “do our utmost to” and similar expressions, or by future or conditional verbs such as “will”, “should”, “would” and “could” target known achievements but unknown results & outcomes and remain submitted to uncertainties and external factors that we quite obviously do not fully have control on.

Therefore, we urge you to consider that such wordings are aspirational and that ID side might achieve results , despite its relentless efforts, or implement solutions materially different from any projection of results expressed or implied by such statements.

As a crowdsourced website, we cannot commit on the outcome of what we strive to achieve, because it mainly depends on us all.

Consequently, we respectfully ask you not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, but to help us accomplish our mission, notably crowdsourcing.

Modification of those Terms

At any time it would be needed to meet legal provisions, new regulatory or legal requirements or merely in order to meet ID siders’ community reasonable expectations, we reserve the right to adapt and amend these Terms of services.

Even if we are under no obligation to inform you about the amendments we carry out regarding those Terms , we will do do in limited but relevant occurrences.

Indeed, from a User point of view, we consider that it is of no added value for you, whether for your interests or for your fundamental rights, to notify you such amendments as far as those are not likely to breach any of your reasonable expectations.

Therefore, we may regularly update these Terms complying with the following rules:

- If such updates are not substantial ones (meaning they are not likely to breach your reasonable expectations or infringe any of your rights), we will not share any pop-up on our website to warn you about such changes but we will systematically share the date of any last update carried out at the Head of our Terms of services;

- In case, we doubt such is the case and some updates carried out could be substantial for all or for some ID siders, we will share a pop-up on your Homepage so that you flag that our Terms were updated and access the most recent version of our Terms of services.

Such Terms will govern the services we provide to you on ID side and remain available at all times on our website.

If you keep using our website or our service after we post any changes to these Terms, such use constitutes your agreement to those changes. You agree that we will review these Terms periodically and that.

Caveat:

Shouldn’t you be familiar with the most recent version, it still applies to you.
