some cases, your geolocation or other data likely to be reasonably associated with
such information.
BFP undertakes to comply with the legislation in force regarding the protection of
your privacy as it relates to the automated processing of Data—in particular, French

account and the information the user provides in his/her personal space, should
he/she decide to create one—i.e., first name (= given name), last name (= family

date and time) and the vehicle’s mileage.

the right vehicle.

traction batteries so that it can provide you services that are better suited to your
needs and expectations. For example:
