In accordance with the law of 6 January 1978 (amended version) and 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 (known as the “GDPR”), we would like to point out that the Firm is the sole recipient of the information and personal data transmitted through this Website, and is not transferred to third parties.

 

Personal data is collected for specific purposes, made known to the persons concerned. This data may not be used subsequently in a manner incompatible with these purposes. The data is collected fairly; it is not collected without the knowledge of the individuals concerned.

The collection of such data is only optional, insofar as the absence of such data does not prevent or render impossible any response to a request for information, service or, in general, any performance of an obligation.

Depending on the services you require, you will be asked to provide mandatory and/or optional information. The Firm is committed to respecting your privacy and protecting the information you provide. Any information collected will only be kept for the time necessary to process your requests and/or to carry out the services requested in accordance with the regulations in force.

To this end, the Firm implements technical and organizational security measures to protect the data collected against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss or destruction of the data, or against access to the data by unauthorized persons.

The Firm also requires all of its subcontractors to provide appropriate safeguards to ensure the security and confidentiality of personal data.

Your rights

You have rights of access, rectification, portability, erasure, restriction and opposition to the processing of personal data, and to determine the fate of your data after your death, concerning all data concerning you. These rights may be exercised at any time via the Firm’s e-mail address and/or postal address.

Your data, collected on this Website, are collected for the following main purposes:

• management of applications (collaboration)
• management of applications (trainees)
• request for information

For security reasons and to avoid any abusive or fraudulent request, all requests must be accompanied by a copy of a signed identity document, the use of which will be strictly limited to the processing of the request, and deleted as soon as the processing is completed.

The information collected will not be communicated to third parties, except in the event of a proven infringement of legal or regulatory provisions, for which this information may be communicated at the express request of the legal authorities.

Finally, we inform you that you have the right to lodge a complaint with the CNIL (Commission National Informatique et Libertés), should you consider that your data has not been protected.

In view of the various legislative and regulatory changes, the Firm regularly updates this personal data processing policy in order to guarantee the protection of your data on a daily basis.
