These terms and conditions of use of the desktop BDnF app, downloadable from https://bdnf.bnf.fr, and the mobile BDnF app (hereinafter referred to globally as “the App”), define the terms and conditions of use of the App by its users. By navigating within the App, users indicate that they have read and agreed to the terms and conditions of use (hereinafter “the Terms”). The applicable Terms are those available on line via the App on the day of users’ connection to it. The BnF reserves the right to modify the Terms at any time in order to adapt them to mandatory legal changes or to new features in the App that could be proposed to users, and by publishing a new version on the App. The date of the latest update of these Terms is indicated in the first line of the Terms themselves.
The purpose of these Terms is to establish and regulate the ways in which the App can be used by users.
The App constitutes a digital creation tool that enables users to create their own digital comic, photo-novela, or other multimedia narrative combining illustrations and texts. In order to produce their creations, users work with various types of resources and collect them in order to compose their own library of elements or documents:
Using the App does not require an internet connection. Nonetheless, users need to first download and install the installation file in order to be able to work offline. The App is available for computer (PC and MAC), tablet (iOs and Androïd) and, in a simplified version (iOs and Androïd), cell phone. The App can be used off-line, but an internet connection enables users to use the search feature connected to the Gallica database.
The BnF does not receive any personal data without your consent, and does not share any with third parties.
Third-party (i.e. not the BnF) trackers or “cookies” are installed on the user’s terminal when they are connected to the App. These cookies are placed only by Unity, and they make it possible to record information about users for statistical purposes and usage studies in accordance with Unity’s confidentiality policy (link below). Unity collects users’ personal data, including, most notably, their IP address. Nonetheless, the BnF receives data about visitor usage collected by Unity on the App in anonymous form only. Users have the option of finding out more about and refusing data collection by Unity at any time by going to the “cookies” tab located on the App’s home page in the App’s drop-down menu. To opt out of collection of their data, users can click on the “request my data” button. The “cookies” tab also offers a link to Unity’s website and its confidentiality policy (https///unity3d.com/legal/do-not-sell-my-personal-information). To exercise their rights concerning their data collected, as well as for any other question about processing it, users are invited to contact Unity directly, since they are the ones in charge of data processing.
The BnF holds all intellectual-property rights pertaining to the App. Users promise not to use the Application in any way that would constitute a violation or an infringement of applicable French laws and regulations.
The Site and these Terms and Conditions of Use are subject to French law. In case of dispute, French tribunals have jurisdiction.
