Privacy Policy

Introduction

The purpose of this privacy statement is to provide you with all relevant information about Capgemini’s collection and further processing of your personal information.

In particular with regard to the collection and processing of information that may arise from your use of the Capgemini Academy website – www.academy.capgemini.com (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Website’).

As the parent company of the group and other group entities, Capgemini Services SAS, (hereinafter referred to as ‘we’, ‘us’, ‘our’ or ‘Capgemini’) may collect your personal data and is the party responsible for its processing.

Why does Capgemini process your personal information?

Although your visit to our website does not necessarily lead to the collection and/or further processing of your personal information, visiting parts of the website and/or requesting specific information may result in such processing. Depending on the purpose for which Capgemini collects or further processes your personal information, Capgemini relies on your consent or on its legitimate interest. The main purposes for which Capgemini collects and/or processes your personal information are listed below: 

How long does Capgemini retain your information?

Capgemini does not retain your personal data any longer than is necessary for the purpose(s) for which it was first collected. Capgemini determines the appropriate retention period, taking the purpose(s) of the processing and relevant applicable legal requirements into account.

This means that the retention period may be defined differently depending on the purpose(s) of the processing and local requirements, taking specific legal obligations into account. In any case, and as described below, you can exercise your rights to gain access to your personal data, object to the processing of your personal data or request rectification or removal of your personal data.

Whow has access to your personal information?

1. With other group entities

Capgemini is a global organization. As such, various entities of the group may access and further process your personal data. However, this access will always be strictly limited to the relevant stakeholder(s), both from a functional and a geographical perspective.

Please note that all processing activities performed by Capgemini, including cross-border transfers of personal data, are subject to Capgemini’s Binding Corporate Rules (BCR). Capgemini’s BCR comprise both the EU and UK BCRs.

Capgemini’s BCR for the EU were first approved by European data protection authorities in March 2016 and then updated in January 2019 to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Capgemini’s BCR for the EU were last updated in April 2023 to comply with additional data-transfer obligations. As group data protection policies, Capgemini’s BCR are legally binding for all Capgemini entities and their employees and provide a strong standard of protection for all personal information that Capgemini processes on its own behalf and on behalf of its clients.

2. With third parties

Capgemini may share your personal data with third parties from time to time and only if this is strictly necessary. If Capgemini shares your personal data with third parties, this will be done in accordance with applicable data protection legislation. In the event of cross-border transfers of personal data, these transfers are framed by the appropriate data transfer mechanism(s). In particular, wherever the GDPR is applicable, Capgemini will conclude Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) approved by the European Commission to frame cross-border data transfers to countries that do not benefit from a European Commission adequacy decision.

3. With judicial, public and/or law enforcement authorities

We may also be obligated – by law, legal proceedings, litigation and/or requests from public and/or law enforcement authorities – to disclose your personal information. Please note that any such disclosure will be made only after Capgemini has carefully assessed and determined the legality and legitimacy of the request, as provided for in our internal policy.

Should you have any questions or if you would like additional information about whether and why Capgemini may share and/or transfer your personal data, please contact our data protection officer(s) using the contact form below.

What are your rights and how can you exercise these?

You can request access to, rectification or deletion of your personal information. You can also object to the processing of your personal information or request that this processing be restricted. You can also withdraw your consent at any time, without any consequences for the legality of the processing. Furthermore, you may request that your personal information be provided in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.

Please note that you also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection authority.
