SHARING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA

When we share your personal data with our affiliates, other organizations or trusted third parties, we make sure we only do so with organizations that safeguard and protect your personal data and comply with applicable privacy laws in the same or similar way that we do. 

 

Trusted third parties may assist us in providing IT services, such as platform providers, hosting services, maintenance and support on our databases as well as on our software and applications that may contain data about you or to perform on our behalf the statistical analyses associated with the use of the career website.

 

Your personal data will not be shared, sold, rented or disclosed other than as described in this Privacy Statement. We may, however, share your data when required by law and/or government authorities.  

SHARING DATA INTERNATIONALLY

Our servers are located in the EU. Personal data may be processed outside your country of residence, including outside of the EEA (for example when creating an account to manage your registration and/or subscription to our job alerts or other communications). 

 

This may also be the case in the context of a job application, where you can decide to share your personal data with recruiters outside your country of residence. 

 

As a result, your personal data may be subject to the law of jurisdictions other than your jurisdiction. 

 

Therefore, you agree and accept that if you provide us with your personal data to receive job alerts or to apply to an specific position, you consent on the transfer of your personal data as described herein.

PROFILING

We may process your personal data for profiling purposes to predict your behavior on our website or jobs and content that may be of interest to you. 

 

When we send or display personalized communications, content, job opportunities, we may use some techniques qualified as “profiling” (i.e. any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of using those data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s personal preferences, interests, professional experience, skills, economic situation, behavior, location, reliability, or movements). 

 

This means that we may collect personal data about you through cookies. We centralize this data and analyze it to evaluate and predict your personal preferences, skills and/or interests for a position. For more information around cookies please refer to our Cookie Statement.

 

Based on our analysis, we send or display communications and/or content tailored to your interests/needs. You may have the right to object to the use of your personal data for “profiling” in certain circumstances. Please see “Your Rights” section above.

 

You are also free to contact us via the list of contacts for each country at the end of this document.

PERSONAL DATA RETENTION PERIOD

We will only retain your personal data for the time necessary to achieve the purposes for which we collected it, including to comply with any legal or accounting requirement.

 

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we take into account the quantity, nature and sensitivity of personal data, the potential risk of harm resulting from the unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and the possibility of attaining those purposes by other means, as well as the applicable legal requirements.

 

After the established deadlines, the data is either deleted or retained after being anonymized, especially for statistical purposes. It may be retained in case of pre-litigation and litigation. It should be noted that deletion or anonymization are irreversible operations, and that Danone is no longer able, thereafter, to restore this data.
