4. WHICH PERSONAL DATA DO WE PROCESS

The Personal Data that we may process can be either in the context of (i) when you visit our Website or (ii) when you engage with us in relation to our business and (iii) when you apply for a job opening.

The Personal Data that we may process about you when you visit our Website is the following:

  • Personal Data you provide us voluntarily through our Website (via our contact form). The information that we may collect could include your surname, name, email address, phone number, company, information pertinent to fulfilling our business to you and any other information you may voluntarily provide us.
  • Personal Data that we may collect automatically, such as your IP-address, device type, browser-type, geographic location (country or city), other technical information and how you interact on our Website. This allows us to improve the quality and relevance of our Website.

The Personal Data that we may process when you engage with us in relation to our business is the following:

  • Basic information (e.g. name, company, role/position);
  • Contact information (e.g. address, email address, telephone/mobile number);
  • Financial information (e.g. payment related information);
  • Any other information which you provide to us for the purpose of our business.

The Personal Data that we may process when you apply for a job opening is the following:

  • Contact information (e.g. address, email address, telephone/mobile number);

We usually collect Personal Data directly from you when you apply for a job opening with us, but may also collect Personal Data about you from third parties, such as professional recruiting firms, your references, prior employers and Sibelco employees with whom you have interviewed, but also from publicly available resources online (e.g. LinkedIn). Your Personal Data may be passed to the relevant hiring managers and persons involved in the recruiting process.

Whenever we require any additional Personal Data (not described above), we will clearly inform you the reasons why you are asked to provide it at that point that you are asked to provide said Personal Data.

5. LEGAL GROUNDS OF PROCESSING PERSONAL DATA

The legal basis for which we process your Personal Data described above depends on the applicable Personal Data and the specific context in which we process it.

Please note that in accordance with applicable data protection law, your Personal Data can be processed if:

  • you have given us your consent for the purposes of the Processing (as described in the privacy notice related to that particular Processing). For the avoidance of doubt, you will always have the right to withdraw your consent at any time; or
  • it is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party; or
  • with such Processing, we pursue a legitimate interest that is not outbalanced by your privacy rights. Such legitimate interest will be duly communicated to you at the relevant time; or
  • it is required by law.

6. FOR WHICH PURPOSES WE PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We will only process your Personal Data for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes and we will not process your Personal Data further in a way that is incompatible with those purposes.

Such purpose can be the execution of an order you have placed, the improvement of your visit on one of our Websites or portals, the improvement of our products and services more generally, the offering of services or applications, marketing communications and actions, etc.

The purpose of each Processing of your Personal Data will be clearly defined at the relevant time.

7. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We will keep your Personal Data in a manner consistent with applicable data protection law. We will only keep your Personal Data for as long as necessary for the purposes for which we process your Personal Data or to comply with the law. For information on how long certain Personal Data is likely to be kept before being removed from our systems and databases, please contact us.

8. PROTECTING YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We have a set of technical and organisational security measures in place to protect your Personal Data against unlawful or unauthorised access or use, as well as against accidental loss or damage to their integrity. They have been designed taking into account our IT infrastructure, the potential impact on your privacy and the costs involved and in accordance with current industry standards and practice.

Your Personal Data will only be processed by a third party Data Processor if that Data Processor agrees to comply with those technical and organisational data security measures.

9. DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL DATA

Depending on the purposes for which we collect your Personal Data, we may disclose it to the following categories of recipients, who will then process your Personal Data only within the framework of these purposes:

a) Within our organisation:

 our authorised staff members; and/or companies within the Sibelco Group;

b) Third party business partners:

  • Advertising, marketing and promotional agencies: to help us deliver and analyse the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and promotions;
  • Service providers of Sibelco: companies that provide services for or on behalf of Sibelco, for the purposes of providing such services (for example, Sibelco may share your Personal Data with external providers of IT related services);

    • to comply with the law, requests from authorities, court orders, legal procedures, obligations related to the reporting and filing of information with authorities, etc.;
    • to verify or enforce compliance with Sibelco policies and agreements; and

Please be aware that third party recipients listed under points b) and c) above – especially service providers who may offer products and services to you through Sibelco services or applications or via their own channels – may separately collect Personal Data from you. In such case, these third parties are solely responsible for the control of such Personal Data and your dealings with them will fall under their terms and conditions.

10. TRANSFERS OUTSIDE THE EEA

Your Personal Data may be transferred to recipients which may be outside the EEA, and may be processed by us and these recipients outside the EEA. In connection with any transfer of your Personal Data to countries outside the EEA that do not generally offer the same level of data protection as in the EEA, Sibelco will implement appropriate specific measures to ensure an adequate level of protection of your Personal Data.

These measures can for instance consist of agreeing with these recipients on binding contractual clauses guaranteeing such adequate level of protection.

11. YOUR CHOICES AND YOUR RIGHTS

We want to be as transparent as possible with you, so that you can make meaningful choices about how you want us to use your Personal Data:
