Introduction

Data protection is a key concern for Sogeti which has been placing this matter as a priority. Hence, transparency regarding the way we process the personal data we collect is a commitment for us. The information provided below intends to provide you all relevant information in relation to the collection and processing of information which may be collected through this website www.labs.sogeti.com, (hereinafter, “the website”). Capgemini Services SAS (hereinafter, “we”, “us”, “our” or “Sogeti”) may collect and process personal data relating to you when you visit this website.

Processing of your personal data

Generally, you can visit our website without providing any personal data about yourself. However, in order to access some parts of our websites and/or for you to request specific information or services, we may need to collect personal data from you which we will process for the purposes described hereunder. As part of pre-contractual and/or contractual obligations, we may process your personal data for:

  • answering any requests, queries or enquiries you may submit on our website; but also
  • enabling you to log on to certain restricted parts of our website;

These purposes are justified by our legitimate interest to make sure that you enjoy the experience when visiting our website and interacting with us. Finally, subject to your prior express consent, we may also use the personal data you share with us for marketing purposes and in particular to provide you with personalized offers.

How long do we keep your personal data

When you are an existing client, we will keep your personal data as long as our contractual and/or business relationship lasts. We may then place your personal data in an intermediary database for five (5) years after our contractual and/or business relationship lasts. If you are a prospect with no established contractual and/or business relationship, we will not keep your data for longer than three (3) years after you last contacted us.

Sharing of your personal data

A. With other entities of the group

Sogeti is a global organization. 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 with other entities of Sogeti and transfer it to countries in the world where we have data centers or otherwise do business, including those located outside the European Union (EU). Such data transfers will be covered by our Binding Corporate Rules (Capgemini BCR) which were approved by European Data Protection Authorities in 2016. As a result of Capgemini BCR wherever your personal data are processed in the Sogeti group, your personal data will benefit from the same level of protection. You can access Capgemini BCR by clicking here.

B. Third-party suppliers

We also rely on third-party suppliers and partners with which we may share your personal data for the purposes indicated above except for marketing purposes. Whenever we rely on such third parties, we make sure that they provide an adequate level of protection to the personal data they process on our behalf and when such third parties are located out of the European Union, we make sure that we enter into European Model Clauses as adopted by the European Commission. You can obtain a copy of the said EU Model Clauses by contacting us at emmanuelle.bartoli@capgemini.com

C. Judicial, public and/or governmental authorities

We may also be required – by law, legal process, litigation, and/or requests from public and governmental authorities within or outside your country of residence— to disclose your personal data. We may also disclose your personal data if we determine that for purposes of national security, law enforcement, or other issues of public importance, disclosure is necessary or appropriate. We may also disclose personal information if we determine in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect our rights and pursue available remedies, enforce our terms and conditions, investigate fraud, or protect our operations or users.

Business reorganizations

Like many organizations, Sogeti may reorganize 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.

Your rights

In any case, you have the right to access your personal data. You can also request that your personal data be rectified or deleted. You are entitled as well to object to the processing of your personal data or to request restriction thereof. In addition, you have the right to ask for receiving your personal data in a structured and standard format.

Data security and integrity

Sogeti 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, Sogeti cannot be responsible for the security of transmissions of the personal data over the Internet.
