1. Privacy Policy Scope
This Privacy Policy applies to the Faurecia website www.faurecia.com/en (http://www.faurecia.com/en) ("the Website" or "the Site"). It is specific to the data processing carried out on this site.
It must be applied to all Faurecia employees and potential subcontractors, wherever they are located in the world.
2. What is personal data?
Personal data is any information relating to a person who is either identified or identifiable, directly or indirectly. For instance, your name, pseudonym that you use online, your picture, your address, your phone number, etc., are personal data. Information that does not allow us to establish a connection with you is not personal data.
3. What data are we likely to collect and process?
You can visit most pages of the Site without revealing your identity. However, if you wish to ask a question through our contact form, we will ask you to provide data identifying you, including your first and last names, your email address, your telephone number and your country so that we can answer you. We will indicate with an asterisk (*) the data that we absolutely need to have to be able to process your request and therefore answer your questions. The same rules apply if you wish to register in order to receive our Faurecia newsletter.
Moreover, as we particularly wish to attract talented person from all over the world, we have created pages dedicated to employment in Faurecia companies. If you are interested in our job offers, you may create an account where you send us additional personal information in order to apply for job vacancies at Faurecia. Further information relating to the collection, processing and use of your personal data by Faurecia will be provided upon registration, as part of a dedicated Privacy Policy.
Furthermore, when you access information on our Site, data that may lead to a potential identification are recorded on our servers (for example the date, the time, and the pages visited, as well as your IP address) so that you can reach the requested page or for security reasons. At the end of the session, this data is either immediately deleted, or anonymized so that it can be analyzed statistically, or stored for a period of 12 months (if necessary for security reasons).
Lastly, cookies may be placed on your browser on this occasion. For more information, we invite you to read our paragraph 6 that is dedicated to it.
4. For what purposes does Faurecia process and use your data?
We use your data for the following purposes:
for reasons related to system security (on IP logs, for example to avoid computer attacks through an overload of our servers);
to design a more fluid and ergonomic Site where you find relevant information more easily. In order to do so, we need to know for instance which page was accessed to and when, which page is the most visited, etc. We carry out this kind of analysis through the "Matomo Analytics" tool (see paragraph 9 below);
to answer you if you contact us (we keep track of the messages you send us and of our answers, so we can provide you with an optimized service if you come back to us);
to process job applications;
more generally, for business development purposes.
Your personal data is processed and used for other purposes only when you have given your consent to it or when such consent is presumed. Without this consent, your data will for instance not be used for advertising purposes. You have the right to withdraw this consent at any time, using the options made available to you on our communication media or, in general, by writing to the Faurecia Data Protection Officer at the address indicated in the preamble to this Policy.
Faurecia only processes your data as long as it is necessary for the purposes for which it has been collected. At the end of this period, the data is either erased or irretrievably anonymized.
5. Is your data transmitted to third parties?
Your personal data is stored either in our database and on our server or, if need be, on the servers of a subcontractor processing data on our behalf.
Since Faurecia is a global group, teams processing data may be located in various countries, including outside the European Economic Area, in countries where the protection level of personal data is not equivalent to the one existing in the EEA. This is for instance the case of the company hosting our Website.
In this case, Faurecia will ensure that these internal or external teams are subject to similar obligations to those existing in the EEA, for example through standard clauses or binding corporate rules.
We also would like to specify that, in the case you would use social plugins or your Facebook or LinkedIn account, these social networks may have access to some information (see below for more information).
Note that, if we are bought by or merged with another company, or if the group is restructured, your personal data will be transferred to the new entity. If this hypothesis were to ever happen, we would apply the same rules as those set forth in this Policy to your personal data as well as to your rights as for the use thereof.
However, because of applicable legal rules, and in some cases, we will have to transmit your personal data to third parties, for instance if we presume infringement or misuse of our Site. Where appropriate, we have to transmit your data to the competent authorities.
Our Website contains hypertext links leading to the websites of other companies. If you click on these links, you will be redirected to the sites of these companies. You will notice it among other things because of the URL changes. We are not liable for the confidentiality of the processing of your data by these providers, as we have no influence over their privacy policy.

8. Use of social plug-ins
Our Site uses social plug-ins from Facebook & Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter & YouTube, respectively owned by Facebook lnc., 1601 S. California Ave., Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA, LinkedIn Headquarters 2029 Stierlin Ct. Ste. 200 Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, Twitter lnc., 795 St. Folsom, Suite 600, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA, and Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, 94043, USA. These social plug-ins may be recognized through their respective logos. When you visit our Site, your browser does not establish any connection through these plug-ins with the servers of Facebook, LinkedIn, Google or Twitter.
In order to protect your data at best when you use our Site, we have integrated these plug-ins so that the connection to the social network operator is established only when you activate the plug-in by clicking on the corresponding icon (for example the Facebook "Like" button). When the connection is established by activating the plug-in, we have no influence on how much data is collected by Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter or Google. To our knowledge, the following information is collected:
Through the interaction with one of the social plug-ins, the social network operator concerned receives the information concerning the web page of our Site that you have viewed. If at the same time, you are connected to a social network, the operator of this social network can also associate the corresponding visits of your account to the social network. In addition, by activating a social plug-in, for example by clicking on the "Like" button or by posting a comment, the corresponding information is transmitted to the social network. Even if you are not a member of one of the social networks mentioned, it is possible that they can recover and even register your IP address through the plug-in when you click on it.
For more details about the scope and purpose of the processing, collection and use of data by Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and Google, as well as about your rights and configuration options, we suggest that you read following privacy policies:

- for Twitter: https://twitter.com/en/privacy
- for YouTube: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en-GB&gl=fr
If you are a customer of one of the social networks listed hereabove, but you do not want it to collect your data from our Website and link them to your user account, you must disconnect from the social network before clicking on a plug-in.
In addition, our Website contains hypertext links to Faurecia publications on social networks. The companies that publish them put at your disposal, directly on their respective sites, information concerning the processing of your personal data.

Access to those is only allowed to a limited number of persons responsible for technical, commercial or editorial maintenance. In order to prevent any loss or misuse of the data stored by Faurecia, we take technical and operational security measures that are regularly controlled and updated in line with technological developments.
