This privacy information explains how we and our affiliates collect, use, and share personal information you provide to us or that we may otherwise obtain or generate related to you (“Personal Information”).
Scope
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“data subject”). An identifiable natural person is a person who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.
This privacy information applies to personal information we obtain in the course of our normal business activities, both online and offline, including the collection in connection with sales and marketing activities, engaging partners and suppliers, and investor relations. This Privacy Policy does not apply to personal information obtained through our Careers website, which is subject to the Candidate Privacy Information.

Third parties: we may use third parties to provide or perform services and functions on our behalf. We may make personal information available to these third parties for the purpose of performing these services and functions. Any processing of such personal information will be done in accordance with our instructions and in a manner compatible with the initial purposes. As required by law: we may also make personal information available to public or judicial authorities, law enforcement personnel, and agencies as required by law, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements and including to agencies and courts in the countries in which we operate. Where permitted by law, we may also disclose personal information to third parties (including legal counsel) when necessary to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim, or otherwise enforce our rights, protect our property or the rights, property, or safety of others, or as necessary to support external audit, compliance, and corporate governance functions.

Data Retention
We will retain your personal information for as long as we have an ongoing relationship with you or as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected, usually for the duration of any contractual relationship and for any subsequent period mandated by law or permitted by applicable law.
Your Rights
You have the right to obtain, without constraint, at reasonable intervals and without undue delay or excessive expense, a copy of all data related to you that is being processed.

Data portability is the provision of your personal information in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format so that it can be easily transferred to another company. The right to data portability is subject to some restrictions, i.e., data portability does not apply to records in physical format and should not infringe upon the rights of other individuals or the company’s sensitive information.
