Article 11 – Personal Data Protection

The personal data that participants may be required to provide to Michelin for the purpose of prize delivery is limited to their full name, date of birth, email address, and mailing address.

This data is intended solely for use by Michelin personnel and not by X (formerly Twitter). It will be retained only for the duration necessary to administer the Contest and, in any case, for no longer than six (6) months following the conclusion of the Contest, after which it will be permanently deleted.

In accordance with the French Data Protection Act of January 6, 1978, as amended, and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of May 25, 2018, participants have the right to access, rectify, object to, and delete their personal data.

These rights may be exercised upon written request to the following address:
MFP Michelin – Grégoire Teriltzian – 23, Place des Carmes Déchaux – 63000 Clermont-Ferrand – France

The information provided will be used exclusively by the Organizer for the administration of the Contest and shall not be shared with Instagram or any other third-party platform.

The collection of personal data is a mandatory condition for participation in the Contest. Therefore, any request to delete personal data prior to the conclusion of the Contest shall be deemed a withdrawal from participation, and the corresponding prize shall not be delivered.

Article 12 – Intellectual and Artistic Property Rights

In accordance with the laws governing literary, artistic, and industrial property rights in France, the reproduction, representation, or exploitation of any part of the elements comprising the Contest is strictly prohibited.

All trademarks mentioned in connection with the Contest are registered trademarks owned by their respective proprietors.

Article 13 – Reimbursement

Reimbursement of postage costs related to requests for a copy of these Official Rules (standard postal rate) may be obtained upon written request sent to the Organizer’s address, accompanied by a bank account identification document (RIB, RIP, or RICE).

Reimbursement of internet connection costs incurred to participate in the Contest—limited to a maximum of six (6) minutes and excluding mobile participation—may be obtained upon written request to the Organizer’s address.

Given current service offerings and technology, some internet providers offer free or flat-rate access.
