1. Who we are and scope

This Privacy Notice explains how AKEURA processes personal data collected through its websites. Information about the legal entities forming AKEURA including its identity, registered address and contact details are available in our Legal notice.

AKEURA complies with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable data protection laws. This Notice applies to website visitors and to individuals who contact us, request a proposal, apply for a vacancy, join a talent network, request or download content, subscribe to communications, or otherwise submit information through a website form.

2. Personal data we collect

Depending on how you interact with the website, we may collect:
  • identification and contact details, such as your name, email address and telephone number;
  • professional details, such as your employer, role, CV and application information;
  • the content of your request, message or other information you voluntarily provide;
  • technical and usage information, such as device, browser, IP address, pages viewed and interaction data, subject to the Cookie Statement.
Information submitted through website forms may be routed automatically to an appropriate shared mailbox so that the relevant team can handle your request.

3. Purposes and legal bases

We process personal data to:
  • respond to enquiries and requests and take steps at your request before entering into a contract;
  • prepare proposals and provide information about our services;
  • manage recruitment and talent-network activities;
  • provide requested content and operate website functionality;
  • improve our websites, services and user experience;
  • send service or marketing communications where permitted;
  • protect our websites, systems, rights, property, users and the public;
  • comply with legal, regulatory and industry requirements.
Depending on the activity, we rely on performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures, compliance with a legal obligation, our legitimate interests, or your consent. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting earlier lawful processing.

4. Sharing of personal data

We do not sell or rent personal data. We may disclose it to service providers that support our websites or business operations, other AKEURA entities where necessary to handle your request, professional advisers, competent authorities where required by law, or other parties with your consent or at your direction. Service providers may process personal data only under appropriate instructions and safeguards.
We may also disclose personal data where reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property or safety of AKEURA, our users or the public.

5. International transfers

Where personal data is transferred outside the European Economic Area, we use an applicable legal transfer mechanism and appropriate safeguards, such as an adequacy decision or standard contractual clauses.

6. Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including applicable legal, regulatory, contractual and backup requirements. Retention periods may differ by processing activity.
As a general rule, information submitted through a contact form will not be retained for more than two years unless a longer period is necessary for an ongoing relationship, a legal obligation or the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

7. Security

We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access. These measures also apply to providers that host or administer our websites. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure.

8. Your rights

Subject to the conditions and exceptions in applicable law, you may request access to your personal data, correction, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, or object to processing. You may withdraw consent where applicable and lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.
