Protection of Personal Data (GDPR)

Enerfip, in the context of its activity as a European provider of crowdfunding services, processes the personal data of its clients, investors who are natural persons and directors or beneficial owners of Project Holders

As part of the entry into force on 25 May 2018 of Regulation EU 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 (the "General Data Protection Regulation"), Enerfip ("the ECSP") wished to clarify its internal personal data processing policy. The terms used in the procedure have the meaning given to them by the General Data Protection Regulation, and in the Service Provision Agreement signed with investors. Taking into account the nature, scope, context and purposes of the processing carried out by Enerfip and the risks to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, Enerfip implements appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure and be able to demonstrate that the processing is carried out in accordance with this Regulation. These measures shall be reviewed and updated as necessary.


Processing of personal data by Enerfip

Enerfip ensures that the processing of personal data carried out by Enerfip is:

  • necessary for the provision of the crowdfunding service provided by Enerfip to Investors and Project Holders; or

  • made compulsory by the legal or regulatory rules to which Enerfip is subject; or

  • consented to by acceptance of the privacy policy

Enerfip collects the first name, last name, e-mail address and password of registered investors;

Approved Investor

In accordance with regulations concerning the fight against money laundering and the financing of terrorism, Enerfip collects identification information from Approved Investors. Two proofs of identity are therefore collected (national identity card or passport in particular and in accordance with the list provided by our Payment Service Provider). In some cases, a proof of residence less than three months old is also collected from Investors in the context of fundraising reserved for local residents of the project, subject to the specifications of the Commission de Régulation de l'Energie

In accordance with the obligations to which it is subject as a European provider of crowdfunding services, Enerfip collects, in the financial questionnaire, information relating to the financial situation, knowledge, experience and financial objectives of the Approved Investor

In accordance with the obligations relating to subscription forms and the keeping of the Issuers' registers when it carries out this optional service, Enerfip collects information relating to the investment of Approved Investors.

Managers and beneficial owners of Project Holders

In order to provide Project Holders with the service of a European provider of crowdfunding services, Enerfip collects (i) proof of identity, proof of address and a curriculum vitae from the Project Holder's manager, (ii) proof of identity and proof of address from persons holding, directly or indirectly, more than 25% of the capital or voting rights of the Project Sponsor or exercising, by other means, a power of control over the management, administrative or executive bodies or over the general meeting of partners or shareholders of the Project Sponsor.

Enerfip obtains the investor's consent to the processing of their personal data (request to tick the "Yes" box to the question "Do you authorise Enerfip to collect certain personal data as defined in our Privacy Policy below?

Enerfip ensures that the consent of investors is obtained in a free, informed and unambiguous manner

Proof of this consent is automatically archived by Enerfip in the client's personal space (nominative for Investors, or linked to an IP address for Visitors).

Security of processing

Enerfip implements appropriate technical and organisational measures to guarantee a level of data security appropriate to the risk, and in particular:

  • Secure physical storage of personal data (secure archive room with badge access);

  • regular hacking tests of the IT system;

  • for data stored in the cloud, annual verification of the service provider's compliance with regulations;

Enerfip carries out an internal audit once a year to assess the security of the personal data collected;

Sub-contracting

In its capacity as a European provider of crowdfunding services, Enerfip has chosen not to hold the funds invested by Investors, and to do so uses its Payment Service Provider (or Banking Partner).

In this context, Enerfip subcontracts certain data processing to its Banking Partner. The Banking Partner therefore has access to certain personal data of investors (surnames, first names, address, e-mail, proof of identity and the IP address used during their last investment).

Enerfip, in its capacity as data controller, and the Banking Partner, in its capacity as subcontractor, comply with the obligations applicable under the regulations.

Enerfip ensures that the Banking Partner has the technical and organisational resources that comply with the requirements of the regulations and guarantee the protection of the rights of Enerfip's customers.

In particular, it accepts such requests when the personal data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or processed

It informs the data subject that it cannot accept his/her request, with regard to the purposes of the processing, when the contract for the provision of crowdfunding services is still in force, or when the period of five (5) years during which Enerfip is legally obliged to retain the personal data of its customers has not expired.

Right to limit processing

Enerfip ensures that the limitation of the processing of personal data is implemented when:

  • the data subject has objected to the processing in accordance with Article 21(1) during the verification as to whether the legitimate grounds pursued by the controller override those of the data subject.

Where processing is restricted, Enerfip shall ensure that personal data, with the exception of storage, are only processed with the consent of the data subject or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or on important grounds of public interest of the Union or of a Member State.

Enerfip will inform the data subject before the processing restriction is lifted.

This data is provided to the person concerned on request.

In the event that Enerfip ceases its activity, it will make its best efforts, at the request of the person concerned, to ensure that the personal data is transmitted directly to the persons responsible for taking over Enerfip's activity.
