Introduction

At Cooperl, we take the protection of your privacy and the confidentiality of your personal data seriously in all our business processes.
Our company is committed to protecting the rights of individuals in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (hereinafter referred to as “GDPR”), as well as all applicable national laws and regulations pertaining to personal data protection (hereinafter referred to collectively as “data protection laws and regulations”).

What is personal data?

Personal data

Personal data is information that can be used to identify a natural person, directly or indirectly (hereinafter referred to as “personal data”). A “personal identifier” is a piece of information that identifies a natural person. This term covers a wide range of personal identifiers that together constitute personal data, including names, addresses, e-mail addresses, identification numbers, location data and online logins.

Special categories of personal data

Special categories of personal data are those relating to racial or ethnic origin, political views, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, as well as data concerning health, sex life or sexual orientation, and genetic and biometric data when exclusively processed to identify a natural person (hereinafter referred to as “special categories of personal data”).

On what basis is your personal data processed?

We need a lawful basis for collecting and/or processing your data. We have developed a set of grounds (reasons) for this processing as part of our activities. The legal bases for our processing of your personal data are as follows:

1. The duty to fulfil our contractual obligations.

To perform your Employment Contract or Membership Agreement; To perform a Service, Purchase or Sales Agreement: for example, when you register for a particular service via the website, the purposes for which we process your personal data are determined primarily by that service, and we will process your data in order to provide that service to you.

2. With your express consent.

Where you have given your consent for us to process your personal data for certain services offered on the website, you may withdraw that consent at any time by following the instructions in the registration process or by contacting us at protectiondonneespersonnelles@cooperl.com.

3. Within the scope of legitimate reasons.

In some cases, we may not need your consent to use your data if we have a legitimate reason to do so, but we must inform you of this, for example:

  • To analyse and optimise our services.
  • To ensure IT security and the proper functioning of the Group’s IT systems.
  • To prevent and investigate illegal activities.

4. Fulfilment of legal obligations imposed on our company or in the general interest.

Our company, like any other organisation, is subject to legal and regulatory obligations. In some cases, our company will need to process your personal data in order to fulfil these obligations.

Who will receive your personal data?

  • Authorised persons working for our company;
  • Our agents, service providers and consultants (e.g.: third-party service providers and consultants providing a range of products and services that we require, such as IT systems maintenance and support, procurement services, compliance and security services, etc.);
  • Other authorised third parties involved in restructuring or selling the company’s activities and/or assets;
  • Legal or administrative authorities where necessary to comply with applicable laws.

Will your personal data be transferred to a third country outside the European Economic Area (EEA)?

Our company processes your personal data mainly in the EEA (European Union member states, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein). Your personal data may be transferred to our group or group subsidiaries on a need-to-know basis, including to entities outside the EEA.

Your personal data may be transferred outside the European Union if our subcontractors or subsidiaries based outside the EEA need it to perform services. In this case, our company will take great care to supervise the contracts binding it to the latter, in accordance with legal and regulatory provisions.

These transfers are governed in particular by appropriate safeguards to ensure they are secure. Thus, these transfers may be based on an adequacy decision from the European Commission regarding the level of data protection in a particular country. In the absence of an adequacy decision, transfers are governed by compliance with standard data protection clauses approved by the European Commission.

We process and store your personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil our contractual and regulatory obligations. The retention of your personal data is governed by data protection laws and regulations, and by our procedures and processes adopted in accordance with such data protection laws and regulations.

Security

We implement technical and organisational security measures to protect the data under our control against accidental or malicious manipulation, loss or destruction, or access by unauthorised persons. Our security procedures are continuously improved as new technologies emerge.
