2. Who are we?

digital marketing brokerage. Bloom Media Group offers Users:

• (ii) Bloom Media Group will receive a fee from the Partner for this intermediation service;
• (iii) occasionally, Services Complementary to the Intermediation Service, such as allowing Users to be put in contact with Providers other than those they initially searched for, or to rate their experience with Bloom Media Group’s Services.

The User accesses the Services by clicking on content that is offered to him. On the other hand, Bloom Media Group does not contact the User directly during this brokerage activity to offer him its Services. Similarly, in the context of the Intermediation Service:

• (i) once the connection with one or more Partners is made, Bloom Media Group:
  • never intervenes, in any way whatsoever, in the exchanges between them and all the consequences that could result;
  • does not control the contact methods (telephone, SMS, e-mail, etc.) by which the Partner(s) will contact the User.
• (ii) Bloom Media Group may receive remuneration for certain contracts that the User may conclude with one or more Partners with whom he or she has been put in contact; in this case, you should know that Bloom Media Group does not intervene in the negotiation and/or conclusion and/or execution of contracts thus concluded.

It processes data for the purpose of designing direct marketing campaigns in compliance with the legislation in force in accordance with Bloom Media Group's Privacy Policy, which is linked below. In this context, Bloom Media Group may directly solicit Users by sending communications about services and/or products from Partners for commercial prospecting purposes, on behalf of the latter.
