TRANSFER OF PERSONAL DATA

As SODEXO is an international group, your Personal data may be transmitted to internal or external recipients that are authorized to perform Services on our behalf. Data protection law does not allow the transfer of Personal Data to third countries outside UK and EEA that do not ensure an adequate level of data protection.

Some of the third countries in which Sodexo operates outside UK and EEA do not provide the same level of data protection as the country in which you reside and are not recognized by the European Commission or ICO as providing an adequate level of protection for individuals’ data privacy rights.

We have also implemented appropriate safeguards to ensure an adequate level of protection of your Personal data, even if the Personal data is processed by another Sodexo entity that did not collect your Personal data originally.

Sodexo has implemented the Sodexo’s Binding Corporate Rules (BCRs) within Sodexo Group. Therefore, even if the third countries in which Sodexo entities operate are located outside of the European Economic Area, your Personal data is protected in the same way that they would have been by any entity located within the European Economic Area.

To guarantee the security and confidentiality of Personal data thus transmitted, we will take all necessary measures to ensure that this data receives adequate protection, such as entering into data transfer agreements with the recipients of your personal data based on the applicable standard contractual clauses (“SCCs”) or other valid transfer mechanisms and we carry out, in accordance with the European Court of Justice's decision of 16 July 2020 "Scherms II" (Case C 311-18), a risk assessment of the transferred data. If you would like to receive a copy of the safeguards in place to secure data transfers outside the UK or European Economic Area, please contact the Data Protection Officer.

DISCLOSURE OF YOUR INFORMATION

The security and confidentiality of your Personal data is of great importance to us. This is why we restrict access to your Personal data only to members of our staff only to the extent strictly necessary to process your orders or to provide the requested Services. We ensure that persons authorized to process the Personal data have committed themselves to confidentiality or are under an appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality.

We will not disclose your Personal data to any unauthorized third parties. We may, however, share your Personal data with entities within SODEXO and with authorized service providers (for example: technical service providers [hosting, maintenance], consultants, etc.) whom we may call upon for the purpose of providing our Services. We may disclose your personal information to any member of our group, which means our subsidiaries, our ultimate holding company and its subsidiaries, as defined in section 736 of the UK Companies Act 2006. This information is not routinely shared. It may be shared for the provision of joint services, for example IT support, Legal advice, debt recovery or HR support. It may also be shared for statistical analysis. Where appropriate a data sharing agreement is put in place. In the unusual circumstance that personal data could be shared with a Group Company outside UK/EEA standard contractual clauses will be applied.

We ensure that every disclosure of your Personal data to an authorized service provider is framed by a data processing agreement, reflecting the commitments laid out in this policy. We do not authorize our service providers to use or disclose your data, except to the extent necessary to deliver the Services on our behalf or to comply with legal obligations.

We may also share your Personal data (i) if the law or a legal procedure requires us to do so, (ii) in response to a request by public authorities or other officials or (iii) if we are of the opinion that transferring these data is necessary or appropriate to prevent any physical harm or financial loss or in respect of an investigation concerning a suspected or proven unlawful activity (iv) providing the service/contract, (v) fraud protection and credit risk reduction, (vi) to protect rights, property and safety or enforce our agreements, (vii) buy or sell business assets.

The purpose for which we hold your Personal data (e.g., when you purchase products on our Sites, we keep your Personal data for the duration of our contractual relationship).
Our legal and regulatory obligations in relation to that Personal data (e.g. accounting reporting obligations).

SECURITY OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect Personal Data against accidental or unlawful alteration or loss, or from unauthorized, use, disclosure or access, in accordance with our Group Information and Systems Security Policy.

We take, when appropriate, all reasonable measures based on Privacy by design and Privacy by default principles to implement the necessary safeguards and protect the Processing of Personal Data. We also carry out, depending on the level of risk raised by the processing, a Privacy impact assessment (“PIA”) to adopt appropriate safeguards and ensure the protection of the Personal Data. We also provide additional security safeguards for data considered to be Sensitive Personal Data.

Where We have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although We will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk.
