Terms such as “personal data”, “processing” and other terms used in this Privacy Notice shall be construed in accordance with applicable data protection laws, i.e. the 2016/679 General Data Protection Regulation and the Directive 2002/58/EC, as well as other privacy laws governing the processing of personal data in the countries where Consilium operates (together the “Applicable Data Protection Laws”).
2. Categories of personal data, purposes, legal grounds and storage
Consilium has the following purposes and legal grounds for the processing of personal data in accordance with this Privacy Notice:
Providing us with your personal data is voluntary. However, if you choose not to provide us with the aforementioned personal data, we may not be able to enter into a contractual relationship with you, fulfil our contractual duties towards you or provide the service you or the company you may be representing require.
We may process your personal data in order for us to be able to fulfill our legal obligations according to, e.g., law or other statutes to which we are subject or court or governmental decisions that require us to process information about you. We may also process your personal data so that you or the company you represent, ourselves or the third party concerned, can establish, assert or defend legal claims, for example, in the event of an imminent or ongoing dispute.
3. Recipients of personal data
We may share your personal data with our affiliates, partners and suppliers to be able to fulfil the aforementioned purposes of processing and conduct our business. In some cases, these third parties may require access to some, or all of your personal data processed by Consilium. In such cases, we will undertake steps to ensure that your personal data is processed in accordance with the requirements of the Applicable Data Protection Laws.
The disclosure of personal data that you provide to us by filling out the contact form on the Website, e-mail or by verbal contact will only be transferred to third parties to the extent required to comply with the agreement.
Personal data may be transferred to third parties that may be established, or otherwise process personal data, outside the European Union/European Economic Area (“EU/EEA”). In such cases, we will ensure that any such transfers comply with Applicable Data Protection Laws and that we apply appropriate safeguards as necessary, such as the EU Commission Standard Contractual Clauses and supplementary measures.
At times, we may be legally required to disclose personal data, in situations where we, for example, are involved in legal proceedings, where we are obliged to comply with legal obligations, legal requests by a public authority, or to comply with a court order. Such situations may also include instances where we prevent and investigate fraud or other illegal activity to protect ourselves, you and other partners, suppliers and other stakeholders, including, where necessary, for the purposes of an investigation.
Consilium may disclose your personal data to group companies and other related parties, as well as to potential owners, part owners and their advisors and other advisors in connection with a sale of shares and/or assets in the company, a stock exchange listing and in the case of other corporate restructurings. Your personal data will be disclosed only to the extent it is necessary and only if Consilium has a legal basis to disclose the information. The disclosure will be based on Consilium’s legitimate interest in being able to divest and restructure its business, which is considered to prevail over your interest of protection of your personal data. A disclosure to external parties will only be made to parties that have entered into a non-disclosure agreement or that are subject to an equivalent statutory obligation of confidentiality.
The Website may contain references to third parties. Please note that Consilium is not responsible for the personal data processing that occurs when you visit third party websites or contact third parties. To obtain information on how your personal data is processed by third parties, please read their privacy notices.
Your personal data will primarily be processed by the Consilium Group company that you are in contact with but may also be processed in the same way, and for the same purposes, together with other companies in the Consilium Group, including companies outside the EU/EEA. You can find these Consilium Group companies listed below.
