• to allow the localisation of financial Partners empowered by WARI nearest to the User.

The User retains control of the activation or not of geolocalisation : for this purpose, the User is informed that if he no longer wishes to be geolocalised, he can either deactivate his Terminal’s localisation system, or shut down the Application.

Particularly, Wari :

• ciphers most of its Services with the SSL technology, particularly concerning the bank Data ;
• proposes a two-step validation when the Member accesses his Account and a secured navigation function ;
• leads internal audits on the collecting, storing and processing of Data, including physical security measures, so as to prevent any unauthorised access to its systems ;
• reserves access to personal Data only to the WARI employees, subcontractors and agents who need to access them in the context of the Purposes mentioned above. These persons are subject to strict obligations of confidentiality and are liable to be subject to disciplinary sanctions, including dismissal, in case of a failure to meet these obligations.

It is up to the User to respect strictly the terms of the present Privacy Policy and of the TS when using the Platform, and the User commits himself to it. Thus, the User particularly commits himself to keep strictly confidential his username and password allowing him to access his Account and the Reserved Space. 

WARI could not be held responsible for the consequences linked to one or several of the following cases :

• (i) Erroneous, incomplete or dated Data ;
• (ii) use of the User’s identification Data by a third party made possible by whatever means including the User’s negligence ;
• (iii) non-respect by the User of his obligations respecting the Applicable Regulations, the present Privacy Policy, the TS and/or any other applicable contractual document.

The User will bear the costs of any pecuniary sanction which could be imposed on Wari, particularly by any decision emanating from an administrative or judicial jurisdiction, or imposed by an independent administrative authority such as an authority of protection of personal Data, following a failure of the User to respect his obligations respecting the present Privacy Policy. 

Besides, Wari cannot be held responsible for the processing (nor of the consequences linked to this processing) made by third parties, particularly the Providers and the Partners, even if they collect personal Data via the Platform.  

The Privacy Policy may be subject to updates by WARI without notice. The former Privacy Policy will then be cancelled automatically and replaced by the new version which will be immediately binding to any User. The date of the last update is written at the top of the present Privacy Policy. 

To be kept informed of these possible modifications and updates, it is recommended to the Users to consult regularly the Privacy Policy. Information on updates can be given by Wari, without it being an obligation, by way of a message on the Platform.   

In the case of one of the clauses of the present Privacy Policy being invalid following a change of legislation, of Applicable Regulations or a court decision, this would in no way affect the validity and respect of the other clauses of the Privacy Policy.  

The present Privacy Policy and the documents to which it refers are governed by French law. 

In case of a dispute, the User commits himself to first contact Wari so as to try and find an amicable agreement to any dispute that may arise concerning the Privacy Policy.

IN THE ABSENCE OF AN AMICABLE AGREEMENT, ANY DISPUTE RELATING TO THE EXISTENCE, THE INTERPRETATION, THE EXECUTION OR THE BREACH OF PRIVACY POLICY, EVEN IN CASE OF SEVERAL DEFENDANTS, WILL BE SUBMITTED :
