ARTICLE 2 - PURPOSE OF THE APPLICATION AND FRAMEWORK OF USE - DESCRIPTION OF THE SERVICE

The Application allows the User to receive information or alerts transmitted by different Stations. The Application also allows the User to go back to the Stations that accept information. 

Mode of operation: the User can choose to follow the news of different Stations according to his/her centers of interest by scanning the QR Code of the Station which interests him/her via the scanner integrated in the application or by manually entering the name of it in the search bar of the application. 

The User can also consult the practical information of the Stations: telephone number, postal address, geographical location, email address, etc. in the “Practical information” tab on the page of each station.

Geolocalization: on the 1st launch of the Application, the User is offered to share his/her geolocation via a pop-up. However, s/he has the option of disabling this option later in the Application settings or those of his/her telephone if s/he does not wish to receive geolocalized alerts from authorized Stations.

If the User disables his/her geolocalization, certain services of the Application using the position of the smartphone to function will no longer be accessible. 

Notifications: on the 1st launch of the Application, the User is offered via a pop-up to receive notifications from the Stations s/he is following and geolocated alerts from authorized Stations in the event of the User's physical presence in the area concerned.

The User can manage the messages and notifications s/he receives via the tabs: "My Stations" and "Settings" of his/her Application or via the settings of his/her smartphone. From the “My Stations” tab of the application, the User can choose to follow or unfollow a Station, i.e. decide whether or not to receive its messages at any time. In the "settings" tab of the Application, the User can choose to disable his/her geolocalization in order to no longer receive geolocalized alerts from authorized Stations. The User can also disable his/her geolocalization and the receipt of notifications via the settings of his/her smartphone; thus s/he will no longer be informed when a message sent by the Stations to which s/he subscribes is sent or if s/he is physically in the area of​a geolocated alert sent by an authorized Station.

illiwap may at any time add new features to develop the Application. The User will be informed of this when the Application is opened via an information message.

  • Respect the recommendations of illiwap;

5. APPLICATION ACCESSIBILITY AND MALFUNCTIONS

The Publisher undertakes to make its best efforts to ensure that the Application is accessible and operational at all times, subject to external limits, such as in particular access to the Internet network. As such, as the Publisher offers no guarantee of continuity of its Services, it is only bound by an obligation of means and not the result. The Service is provided "as is". The Publisher cannot guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted or free from error or virus and does not provide any guarantee of any kind, express or implicit, particularly guarantees of quality or suitability for a particular use as to the availability and/or accuracy of data content. In particular, the Publisher cannot be held liable in the event of malfunction or lack of functioning of the Application resulting from the non-coverage or poor 3G/4G coverage or the absence or poor quality of the GPS signal. The operation of the Service is thus notably based on technologies developed and used by third parties towards whom illiwap has no means of intervention.

Furthermore, the Publisher reserves the right to temporarily interrupt accessibility to the Application for maintenance, correction and/or upgrading reasons. However, the Publisher undertakes to make its best efforts to limit the time of interruption as much as possible and to notify the User in advance. Thus, the User declares that s/he knows the Internet well and accepts its limits and constraints.

6. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OF THE APPLICATION

It is the property of the Publisher and subject to the laws governing intellectual property, in particular the layout, structure and graphic and textual elements of the Application. 

The use of the Application does not confer any rights on the Stations and/or Users other than the use of the Application as provided herein. 

Consequently, the Stations and the Users may not under any circumstances and in any way reproduce, represent, distribute, market, copy, translate, adapt, extract and/or decompile all or part of any of the elements reproduced on the Application and all or part of the Application in general, without the prior and express consent of the Publisher, except for the content/data of which they are the source. It is expressly understood that by posting content through the Application, the User acknowledges that said content is likely to be distributed to the Station and/or to all Users of the Application. 

The User thus grants to the Publisher the right to reproduce, modify, represent said content on the Application, for the whole world and for the entire duration of copyright protection, without any financial compensation, which the User expressly acknowledges. 

In addition, the User declares and guarantees to be the owner of the contents that s/he puts online and that they are free of all rights, or, at the very least, that s/he has the necessary rights for their distribution through the App.

7. PROTECTION OF PERSONAL DATA

As part of the use of this Application, the User may be required to transmit personal data concerning him/her.

The personal data collected from Users is intended to allow the Station to contact the User again after the report has been made, when necessary, in order to provide him/her with an answer or a request for clarification of his/her reporting. The GPS position of the reporting allows the Station to know precisely the location of the problem in order to respond to it efficiently and quickly. 

c) Sharing personal data with third parties

The User's personal data may be shared with third-party companies in the following cases:

  • When the Publisher uses the services of third-party service providers to provide hosting services or for the use of technical solutions for the dissemination of indicators on illiwap premises. These service providers have limited access to the User's data, solely in the context of the performance of their services and have a contractual obligation to use them in accordance with the provisions of the regulations applicable to personal data protection;

  • If the Publisher is involved in a merger, acquisition, sale of assets or receivership procedure, it may be required to sell or share all or part of its assets, including personal data. In this case, Users would be informed, before the personal data is transferred to a third party.

d) Storage time 

Personal data is kept for the exclusive purpose of reporting and only for the time necessary to fulfill the purposes mentioned above without being able to exceed 30 days, or to allow illiwap to meet its legal obligations. The data is automatically anonymized at the end of this 30-day period. 

e) Transfer of personal data 

The Publisher informs the User that no transfer of personal data has taken place to date. The data processed is hosted in France or in the European economic zone. In any case, the Publisher undertakes to comply with the legal provisions regarding the transfer of personal data abroad and undertakes in this respect to inform the User.

f) Security and confidentiality

The Publisher implements organizational, technical, software and physical measures in terms of digital security to protect personal data against alteration, destruction and unauthorized access. However, it should be noted that the Internet is not a completely secure environment and the Application cannot guarantee the security of the transmission or storage of information on the Internet.
