3.1 Your Data is collected by the Agency and/or one of its subsidiaries and, where applicable, by its clients, either directly from you or indirectly from third parties.
3.1.1. Indeed, your Data is notably collected or processed wholly or partly during your navigation on the Site, your interactions with the Site, and the information you enter into data collection forms that may be present there, but also more generally as part of requests you may make to the Agency and/or the relevant subsidiary by any means you choose, through your relationship and exchanges with the Agency and/or the relevant subsidiary, as well as when you share site content via “share buttons” on social networks that may be offered on the Site, or during your navigation on one of the pages managed by the Agency and/or its subsidiaries on social networks.
Thus, your Data is collected by the Agency and/or one of its subsidiaries from you in the above-mentioned circumstances.
3.1.2. Furthermore, your Data is notably collected or processed in the context of requests you may make to the clients of the Agency and/or its subsidiaries by any means you choose, through your relationship and exchanges with these clients.
In such cases, your Data is collected directly from you by the clients of the Agency and/or its subsidiaries concerned.
3.1.3. Your Data may also be collected via third parties.
Indeed, the Data we collect and process about you may be obtained or enriched by us, notably for commercial, communication, solicitation, prospecting, or marketing purposes, through other information sources (so-called “public” information, social networks, third-party or partner websites, professional directories, blogs, press articles, use of data rental/ data supply operations by third parties/partners, use of specialized databases offered by third parties, etc.).
Moreover, your Data may be collected by the Agency and/or one of its subsidiaries and then transmitted or made accessible to its clients or may be collected by the clients of the Agency and/or one of its subsidiaries and transmitted or made accessible to the Agency and/or its relevant subsidiary if applicable.
Similarly, your Data may be transmitted to the Agency and/or one of its subsidiaries by other staff members or contacts within your company or through third parties in certain situations.
Regarding especially Data processed during recruitment operations of the Agency and/or one of its subsidiaries, the Agency and/or the relevant subsidiary may use the information you provide (e.g., completed recruitment form or more generally information contained in your CV) that may, under certain conditions, be stored in a candidate database (CV library). However, the Agency and/or the relevant subsidiary may also contact third parties (for example recruitment agencies, previous employers, internship supervisors, or clients where you worked during prior assignments) or use other sources of information (notably professional social networks, recruitment agencies, or specialized recruitment websites) to collect information concerning you in order to review your application or profile. Furthermore, even in the absence of an application from you, the Agency and/or the relevant subsidiary may, particularly as part of monitoring and active searching for professional profiles that match available positions, collect Data from third parties (for example recruitment agencies or headhunters) or use other sources of information (notably professional social networks or specialized recruitment websites) to gather information about you with a view to inviting you to apply for one of their openings.
3.2 Furthermore, in general, you are informed that as a rule:
- if the processing of your Data is necessary to comply with legal or regulatory obligations of the Agency and/or its subsidiaries, the collection of such Data is mandatory;
- if the processing of your Data requires your consent, providing such Data is entirely optional (noting that failing to provide such Data could, however, prevent the Agency and/or one of its subsidiaries from carrying out the concerned processing at least in certain cases);
- if processing your Data is necessary to execute a contract or pre-contractual measures at your request, providing such Data is necessary to pursue this purpose and, in the absence of such data, the Agency and/or the relevant subsidiary may be prevented from fulfilling its contractual or pre-contractual obligations;
- if processing your Data is based on the legitimate interests pursued by the Agency and/or the relevant subsidiary, providing such Data is necessary for that purpose, and refusal to provide your Data could prevent or hamper the processing. For example, if you fail to provide information necessary to respond to your inquiry (information request, etc.), your request related to such Data collection may not be processed or may be delayed.
Specific case: if data collection forms (for example forms integrated on the Site or other subsidiary sites or on the pages of the Agency and/or its subsidiaries on social networks, or any data collection form regardless of the format the Agency and/or its subsidiaries may use to gather your information) require mandatory Data input for the associated processing, the relevant fields will be marked with an asterisk and you will be informed of the potential consequences of failure to provide such information. In the absence of an asterisk, the requested information is optional.
3.3 Except in specific cases or unless otherwise specified in this Policy, we do not collect so-called “sensitive” or “special” Data, i.e., data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership, nor genetic or biometric data for the purpose of uniquely identifying a natural person, nor data concerning health or a person’s sex life or sexual orientation. In this regard, you are informed that, as a rule, the Agency and/or its subsidiaries ask you not to provide such “sensitive” or “special” Data during your exchanges with them.
However, in certain situations, the Agency and/or one of its subsidiaries may process “sensitive” or “special” Data with your prior explicit consent or if such information has been made publicly available by you.
3.4 Data of minors or protected adults: generally, the use of the Site, other subsidiary websites, and the Agency’s and/or its subsidiaries’ social network pages is reserved for adults with legal capacity. The Agency and/or the relevant subsidiary cannot be held responsible for the use of the Site or social network pages by minors or persons lacking legal capacity, and for any consequences, particularly regarding the processing of their Data.
However, in certain specific cases, the Agency and/or the relevant subsidiary may process Data of minors at least fifteen years old when they contact us to apply for a job or internship. The Agency and/or the relevant subsidiary may also marginally process Data of minors, notably among influencers involved in certain specific topics, provided they are at least fifteen years old.
