Under applicable regulations, you have the right to access, modify, delete or transfer all data collected and processed by Hero. You may also choose to limit our processing of your data, object to our processing or request a human review following an automated processing of your data. Finally, you may withdraw your consent, decide on the processing of your data after your death, or lodge a complaint with the competent authority (CNIL).

Can you withdraw your consent regarding your personal data? How?

In accordance with regulations, you may request any modification or deletion of all or part of the personal data already collected by Hero. In such a request, you must send any document allowing us to confirm your identity (in particular an identity document such as a passport or national identity card). In such a situation, your request will be free of charge and Hero undertakes to respond within a reasonable time.

What automated profiling and decision-making mechanisms do we use?

As part of its payment activity, Hero may use one or more profiling and automated decision-making mechanisms. These decisions, not involving any sensitive data within the meaning of the GDPR, may impact the user by preventing a transaction from being completed. This may occur if the algorithm assesses the risk of fraud, money laundering or default as statistically too high. The algorithm will always use all data at its disposal, obtained directly or indirectly from the user or from other external providers (notably from credit rating agencies), in order to make the decision that safeguards the interests of the user and Hero. The user may, in any situation and regardless of the automatic decision, request a review by a Hero employee and provide their point of view as well as additional elements. Hero undertakes to take into account all elements that may lead to a revision of its automatic decision before making its final decision.

Where do we process your personal data?

All your personal data are processed within the European Union.

How long do we store your personal data?

From the date of the user's last payment, Hero keeps all collected data for a period of 5 years. This duration corresponds to the legal period imposed by anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing regulations to which Hero complies (according to article L561-12 of the French Monetary and Financial Code).

How do we use cookies?

To ensure the security of its payments, Hero may use cookie technology as part of its legitimate interest. This cookie makes it possible, in particular, to identify a device that has connected to pages on the hero.fr website. Hero does not use any other cookie.
