Introduction
Capgemini believes that the establishment of trust and privacy is instrumental
to the continued growth of the Internet. We also believe that the efficient collection, use and transfer of information
serve to enhance the development of the Internet and electronic commerce, provided
that such information is handled in a fair and responsible manner. Therefore,
in order to inform you of our policies and activities with respect to the collection,
use and transfer of personal data on the Internet, Capgemini is providing you
with an electronic copy of this Policy. This Policy applies to websites in the European Union that are owned and operated
by Cap Gemini S.A. and/or companies that Cap Gemini S.A. controls, directly or
indirectly (collectively, “Capgemini”), unless a particular website displays its
own privacy policy (e.g., www.sogeti.com). Cap Gemini S.A. or one of companies that Cap Gemini S.A. controls, directly
or indirectly, is the data controller with respect to personal data collected
and processed via its respective website. In this capacity, each of these Capgemini entities is registered with appropriate
data protection authorities with respect to the processing of personal data via
such websites.
In this Policy, “Personal Data” means information which relates to an individual
and which identifies that individual, either directly or indirectly (together
with other information that is reasonably likely to come into Capgemini’s possession),
such as your name, e-mail address or telephone number.
Collection of Personal Data
Generally, you can visit Capgemini websites without providing any
Personal Data
about yourself. However, for accessing some parts of our websites,
such as downloading certain
documents, or in connection with another specific purpose, we may need
to collect
Personal Data from you. Providing Personal Data to us in these events
is voluntary. If you do not provide Personal Data to us, then you will
not be able to benefit
from the respective functionality offered by our websites, such as
communication,
downloading of documents or recruitment. The purposes, for which your
Personal Data is collected, are described below,
along with a brief description of how your Personal Data may be handled
in each
case.
• Communicating with you. We will follow up on comments and
other requests that you submit to us through
our website, such as online queries or registering your attendance at a
conference. This may include calling you back by telephone or
communicating with you via
email.
• Direct marketing and promotion. Direct marketing and/or
promotional efforts by or on behalf of Capgemini may
include providing you with specific information that you have requested
online
or providing more general information about other Capgemini offerings.
When we collect Personal Data for direct marketing or promotional
purposes,
however, we generally offer you appropriate choices regarding the use
of your
Personal Data.
• Recruitment. If you submit a resume or job application
online, we will use your Personal
Data for recruitment-related purposes, which may include contacting you
via email,
telephone or post. In some cases, you may be required to register on
our website in order that
you may track the progress of your application online. Except where
you request otherwise, Capgemini may keep your Personal Data on
file for an appropriate time in order to consider you for other
employment opportunities
with Capgemini in the future.
• Supplier administration. Some Capgemini websites enable third-party suppliers to register their interest
in supplying products and services to Capgemini. We will use this Personal Data in connection with entering into or performing
a transaction with the supplier and for other procurement-related purposes.
• Discussion forums. If you choose to participate in Capgemini discussion forums or chat rooms then,
in some cases, you may be required to register certain details, such as your name
and email address. You should also be aware that your comments may be made broadly available to
others, inside or outside Capgemini, depending on which particular discussion
forum or chat room you are accessing.
• Maintaining the website and conducting customer satisfaction
surveys. We will
use your Personal Data in order to maintain and improve our website.
We may also use your Personal Data in order to conduct customer
satisfaction
surveys.
• Compiling aggregate statistics regarding the use of its website.
Cookies and clicktrails
We may collect information through our
website by using cookies and clicktrails.
All information collected by means of cookies or clicktrails will be
anonymised,
aggregated and only used to develop and track traffic patterns and the
volume
of use of our websites. Sometimes cookies are used to assist you in
reaching the appropriate information
and to tailor your visit to your individual preferences. For example,
a cookie can be used to remember your login information if you
choose the “Remember me” option while signing in. If you do not want
to receive a cookie from our website, you may set your browser
to refuse cookies or to notify you when you receive a cookie, which you
may then
refuse upon such notice. To understand how to do this, please consult
your browser’s help section. However, refusing the cookies may prevent
you from accessing some parts of the
websites.
Global organisation
Capgemini is a global organisation. Whilst
we have distinct legal entities (e.g., country subsidiaries) in many
parts of the world, our internal processes and infrastructure are
international
in scope and nature and generally cross country borders. Accordingly,
you should be aware that we may share your Personal Data inside
Capgemini and transfer it to countries in the world where we have data
centres
or otherwise do business, including those located outside the European
Union (EU). Some of these countries do not have specific data
protection laws and so may
provide less legal protection for your Personal Data. In these
instances, Capgemini will process your Personal Data in the manner
described by this Policy and in accordance with applicable law.
Third-party suppliers
Like many organisations, we use third-party suppliers to collect, use and otherwise
process Personal Data on our behalf. Our practice is to require such third parties to handle Personal Data in accordance
with Capgemini’s privacy and security policies.
Business reorganisations
Like many organisations, Capgemini may
reorganise its business operations around
the world from time to time, whether by buying new businesses or
selling or merging
existing businesses. This may involve us disclosing Personal Data to
prospective or actual purchasers
of parts of our business, or receiving personal data from potential
sellers. It is our practice to seek appropriate confidentiality
protection for Personal
Data disclosed in these types of transactions.
Legal disclosures
Capgemini may disclose your Personal Data in order to enforce our website Terms
of Use or in urgent circumstances to protect personal safety, the public or Capgemini’s
websites. It is also possible that we may be required by law to disclose your Personal
Data pursuant to judicial or other government subpoenas, warrants, or orders,
potentially, in any country where we do business.
Sensitive Personal Data
As a general rule, Capgemini does not collect “Sensitive Personal Data” through its website. “Sensitive Personal Data” means Personal Data concerning racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade-union membership, or concerning health or sex life. By volunteering unsolicited sensitive Personal Data to us (e.g., by submitting your resume or a job application online), you expressly consent to your Personal Data being used as described in this Policy.
Accessing, correcting, updating and deleting Personal Data
If you have any questions or concerns regarding this Policy, or would like to
request a copy of your Personal Data, then please fill-in this form. Also, if you consider your Personal Data to be incorrect or wish to have it
deleted, then please either sign-in and update, correct or delete your profile on our website or fill-in this form
so that Capgemini may make any necessary updates, corrections and/or deletions.
Data security and integrity
Capgemini uses various technological and procedural security measures in order
to protect the Personal Data we collect, use or transfer from loss, misuse, alteration
or destruction. However, you should be aware that, due to the open and unsecured character of
the Internet, Capgemini can not be responsible for the security of transmissions
of the Personal Data over the Internet.
Third-party websites
Capgemini websites may provide links to third-party websites. Capgemini does
not make any representations or warranties with respect to such third-party websites.
You should be aware that the owners and operators of such third-party websites
might collect, use or transfer personal data under different terms and conditions
than Capgemini. Upon linking to a third-party website, you should inform yourself
of the privacy policies of such third party websites. You should also be aware that third-party websites may use cookies.
