The aim of this Privacy Policy is to inform the owners of personal data, whose information is being collected, about specific aspects relating to the processing of their data: e.g. the purposes of the processing, contact information to exercise their rights, the period the information is kept for and security measures; among other things.

The website owner details are:

Fournier Polymers SAS (France)

The Contact Person concerning Data Privacy matters at the Fournier Group companies is Mr. Bruno Fournier.

Data Processing

The personal data requested, if appropriate, will consist only of those strictly necessary to identify and respond to the request made by their owner, hereinafter the interested party. This information will be treated in a fair, lawful and transparent manner in relation to the interested party. Also, the personal data will be collected for explicit and legitimate purposes and not be further processed in a manner incompatible with these purposes.

The data collected from each interested party will be adequate, relevant and not excessive in relation to the corresponding purposes in each case, and will be updated whenever necessary.

Before their data is collected, the data owner will be informed of the general purposes regulated in this policy to be able to provide express, precise and unequivocal consent for the processing of their data, in accordance with the following aspects.

Processing Aims

The explicit purposes for the processing are included in the information included in each of the data collection channels (e.g. web forms, paper forms, contracts, posters or information notes).

However, in general, the collection and processing of the data is intended to:

  • Maintain the contractual relationship established between the data owner and Fournier Group.
  • Implement, maintain and manage any relationship that Fournier Group and the Data Owner may have: commercial, administrative, accounting, employment, marketing (prospecting and commercial promotion), human resources, training or any other services provision requested from Fournier Group by the Data Owner.
  • Have data from candidates who choose to participate in selection processes promoted by Fournier Group .
  • Send technical, operational, advertising, promotional information related to Fournier’s own products, provided that consent for this is given or there is a prior commercial/contractual relationship with the legal entity or professional referring to the sending of commercial communications for products or services similar to those initially contracted with the customer (article 21.2 of Law 34/2002, July 11, Services of the Information Society and Electronic Commerce).

In no case will they be used for purposes other than those for which they were collected.

Legitimation

As a general rule, before processing personal data, Fournier Group will obtain unequivocal consent from the owner via the incorporation of informed consent terms in the different information collection systems.

However, if the consent of the interested party is not required, the basis for legitimising the processing in which Fournier Group is covered is the implementation of the established contractual relationship, our legitimate interest in the development of the business, if promoting and commercial prospecting or in compliance with a law that authorises or requires the processing of the interested party data.

If your consent was requested for any of the processing we are going to carry out (such as sending information) we hereby inform you that you can withdraw it at any time.

Recipients

As a general rule, Fournier Group will not transfer any personal data to a third party, unless the Holders have granted their consent for these purposes or if the transfer is authorised by Law.

However, you can find out about your personal data from any of the Fournier Group companies or companies in which it has a stake, under the assumption that the communication is intended to fulfil the purposes directly related to the legitimate functions of the transferor and transferee or if necessary for the provision of the service or supply of goods.

Data maintenance periods

The personal data collected from the interested party will be kept as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which the information was collected. Once this purpose is no longer applicable, the data will be cancelled or blocked and kept for the availability only of Public Administrations, Judges and Courts, to attend to possible responsibilities arising from processing during their validity period. Once this period has elapsed, the information will be destroyed.

For information purposes, the following are the legal periods for keeping the information according to the document type:
