2.2 BETC (also referred to as "the company" or "we") operates the website accessible to the public at the following address: https://www.betcplaces.com

This website is intended to make available to users (i.e., any natural or legal person who visits or uses these websites, hereinafter the "users" or "you") information to discover the activity and services offered by the company as well as its news (events, publications, etc.).

It also offers features allowing users to contact the company (contact request) and presents the services offered by the company, the projects carried out by the company or the employees working within the company.

When you browse and interact with the aforementioned website (hereinafter referred to as the "Website") or generally, during your interactions or exchanges with the company, the company may collect and process Personal Data concerning you, for the management of its activities and on its own behalf, as Data Controller.

In this context, the company applies the principles defined by the legal and regulatory provisions on the protection of Personal Data, in particular in Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of 27 April 2016 on the protection of individuals with regard to the Processing of Personal Data ("GDPR"), and implements internal procedures for the management, storage and security of your Personal Data, whether you are a candidate, employee, customer, prospect, contact, internet user, supplier, service provider or Data processor.
2.3 When our customers request us to process Personal Data on their own behalf, in accordance with the purposes and means defined by them, we act as a Data Processor, in the context of a specific contract, concluded to this end, it being specified that this policy relates exclusively to the Processing of Personal Data implemented by the company as Data Controller and not as Data Processor.

3 - WHAT ARE THE PROCEDURES FOR COLLECTING YOUR PERSONAL DATA?

3.1Your Personal Data is collected directly from you or indirectly from third parties.
3.1.1In fact, your Personal Data is collected or processed in whole or in part during your browsing on the Website, but also more generally in the context of requests that you may be required to send to the company by any means at your convenience, your relationship and your exchanges with the company.

In general, your Personal Data is therefore collected directly from you in the above-mentioned cases.
3.1.2However, your Personal Data may also be collected through third parties (see indirect collection from third parties).

Indeed, the Personal Data we collect and process about you may be collected or enriched by us, including for the purposes of carrying out commercial, communication, solicitation, canvassing or marketing operations, through other sources of information (so-called "public" information, websites, etc.).

In addition, with regard in particular to Personal Data processed as part of our recruitment operations, we use the information you provide to us (for example: email address) that we include in our pool of candidates (CV database). However, we may also be required to contact third parties (for example, recruitment agencies, previous employers, internship supervisors or clients with whom you have worked in previous assignments) or to use other sources of information (including professional social networks, recruitment firms or recruitment websites) in order to collect information about you for the purpose of studying your application or profile. In addition, and even in the absence of an application by you, we may be required, in particular in connection with our monitoring and active search for professional profiles that may correspond to our job offers, to collect Personal Data from third parties (for example, recruitment agencies or "head hunters") or to use other sources of information (including professional social networks or recruitment websites) in order to collect information about you in order to offer you to apply to a position.

In addition, in the case of Personal Data of suppliers, they are generally collected directly from them. However, with respect to the Personal Data of suppliers with whom we do not have a direct contractual or commercial relationship, their Personal Data may be communicated to us through third parties, such as other suppliers. Similarly, in the case of personnel/contacts from our suppliers in the broad sense, we may collect such Personal Data from any supplier.

3.2In general, you are informed that:

  • if the Processing of your Personal Data is necessary to comply with our legal or regulatory obligations, the collection of such Data is mandatory;
  • if the Processing of your Personal Data is subject to your consent, the collection of such Data is completely optional (it being specified that the lack of communication may, however, prevent us at least in certain cases from carrying out the Processing concerned);
  • if the Processing of your Personal Data is necessary for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures taken at your request, the disclosure of such Data is necessary for that purpose and the company may, in the absence of such data, be prevented from performing its contractual obligations or the aforementioned pre-contractual measures;
  • if the Processing of your Personal Data is based on the pursuit of our legitimate interests, the disclosure of such Data is necessary for this purpose, and the failure to disclose your Data may not allow us to implement or may hinder the Processing concerned. For example, in the absence of any information that would be necessary to respond to a request from you (request for information, application, etc.), your request related to such collection of Personal Data may not be able to be processed or its processing may be delayed.

If Personal Data collection forms require the entry of mandatory Personal Data for the implementation of the Related Processing, the relevant fields will contain an asterisk and you will be notified of the possible consequences of the failure to provide such information. In the absence of an asterisk, the information requested is optional.

3.3 With the exception of specific legal obligations, or unless otherwise specified in this policy, we do not collect Personal Data that reveals racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs or trade union membership, genetic or biometric data for the purpose of uniquely identifying a natural person, health data or data concerning a natural person's sex life or sexual orientation.

3.4 Personal data of minors or protected adults: we draw the attention of persons with parental authority over minors and persons entrusted with a mission of representation in the context of guardianship, family member guardianship order or future protection mandate, on the need to ensure that the Personal Data of vulnerable persons whose legal protection they provide are not disseminated or in any manner used or processed outside their control and supervision. The fact, in particular, that a minor can legally consent to a Processing of Personal Data with regard to the direct provision of services of the information society from (in France, this age being likely to vary depending on the State of residence of the child) of the age of fifteen years does not limit the duty and interest, for holders of parental authority, to educate their children to the importance of respect for their privacy and their Personal Data.

In general, the use of the Website is reserved for adults with legal capacity, and the company cannot under any circumstances be held liable for the use of the Website by minors or incapacitated persons, and therefore for the consequences that may result, in particular, in terms of the Processing of their Personal Data.

As an exception, the company may be required to process Personal Data of minors of at least fifteen years of age when the latter come into contact with the company in order to apply for an offer of employment or internship, for example.

8.3 The access to Personal Data about you is limited to our employees or partners, and more generally the Recipients referred to above, who are authorised and need to know the data in the performance of their duties. All employees who have access to your Personal Data are bound by a confidentiality obligation and are subject to sanctions if they do not comply with these obligations.
8.4 If all or part of the Processing of Personal Data is carried out by third party processors, the company contractually imposes on its third party data processors security guarantees and in particular confidentiality with regard to the Personal Data to which they may have access (appropriate technical and organisational measures for the protection of such Data).

9 - ARE YOUR PERSONAL DATA TRANSFERRED OUTSIDE OF THE EUROPEAN UNION?

9.1 Your Personal Data is preferably processed in the European Union.
9.2 As part of the aforementioned purposes, some of your Personal Data may, however, be transferred to third parties established in countries outside the European Union (for example, entities of the HAVAS VIVENDI Group, Data Processors of the company involved in the aforementioned Processing, your home company if established outside the European Union, etc.).
Some of these entities receiving your Personal Data are considered to ensure a sufficient level of protection of Personal Data because they are established in a country whose Personal Data protection regulations have been recognized as ensuring an adequate level of protection of the Personal Data (adequacy decisions of the European Commission https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/adequacy-decisions_en).

In addition, if the country of the entity receiving your Personal Data does not provide an adequate level of protection for that Personal Data, we ensure that appropriate security and confidentiality measures are taken to ensure that your Data is protected.

Therefore, in these cases, you are informed that transfers of your Personal Data to other entities outside the European Union are governed by the provision of appropriate safeguards such as the conclusion, with the Recipients of such Data, of contractual clauses consistent with the European Commission's recommendations to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place in relation to the protection of such Data.

Please be informed that transfers of Personal Data outside the European Union are lawful if (i) the transfer is necessary for the performance of a contract between the Data Subject and the Controller or the implementation of pre-contractual measures taken at the request of the Data Subject, if (ii) the transfer is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract entered into in the interests of the Data Subject between the Controller and another natural or legal person, or if (iii) the Data Subject has explicitly consented to the proposed transfer, after having been informed of the risks that such transfer might involve for him/her due to the absence of an adequacy decision and appropriate safeguards.

A copy of the reference documents referred to in this paragraph may be obtained (exempt from any commercial information considered sensitive or confidential or covered by business secrecy), from the contact person mentioned in paragraph above "What are your rights and how can you exercise them?".
