general data protection regulation

1. purpose and definitions

The Eloy Group, and the various entities making up the Group, which are also covered by this note, adopts a serious approach to the protection of personal data which it is required to process within the framework of its legal obligations, its activities and the tasks entrusted to it.

This commitment is made in accordance with the regulations relating to the protection of personal data, specifically European Regulation 2016/679 referred to as the “GDPR” in this note.

“Processing” means all operations relating to personal data enabling a natural person to be identified, such as the collection, recording, structuring, storage, modification, consultation, use or deletion of the personal data in question.

“Personal data” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as a “data subject”); an “identifiable natural person” is deemed to mean a natural person who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, identification number, location data, an on-line identifier or one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that person.

2. data protection officer

The Eloy Group is responsible for certain personal data processing undertaken in the course of its activities. This only involves personal data processing where the Eloy Group itself determines the purposes and the processing methods implemented.

Consequently, when the Eloy Group acts as processor for a private partner or public authority, these parties remain responsible for data processing undertaken on their behalf by the Eloy Group. In these circumstances, the Eloy Group acts as processor (as defined by the GDPR) in processing this personal data which it is required to process for others.

The personal data processed by the Group primarily involves:

  • prospects and clients of the “communication” departments,
  • prospects and clients of the after-sales departments,
  • prospects and clients of the commercial departments,
  • clients, in the broad sense, with whom the Eloy Group comes into contact in relation to public or private procurement contracts for works or services,
  • applicants for a position available at the business,
  • members of staff of the business,
  • etc.

The prospects, clients, applicants or staff members are hereinafter generally referred to as the “Data Subject(s)”.

3. contact

Any Data Subject who wishes to ask a question about his or her personal data or exercise his or her rights under the GDPR, or any other legislation applicable in relation to personal data protection, may contact the data protection officer via one of the following email addresses: [email protected],  [email protected],  [email protected].

10. rights of data subjects

10.1. general provisions

The Eloy Group may only refuse to respond to requests made by Data Subjects if it is impossible to identify a Data Subject involved or the Data Subject’s request is inconsistent with the legal obligations with which the Group is required to comply.

Depending on the complexity of the matter, the Eloy Group will use its best endeavours to respond to requests made by Data Subjects no later than three calendar months after the requests are made.

If the Eloy Group is unable to provide an appropriate reply to a request made by a Data Subject, it will notify the Data Subject and inform him or her, where necessary, of the right available to him or her to file a complaint with the supervisory authority.

10.2. free and chargeable requests

Requests made by Data Subjects are processed free of charge by the Eloy Group unless they are unfounded or excessive, notably where they are repetitive in nature, in which case the Eloy Group reserves the right to require payment of reasonable costs to cover the administrative costs relating to such requests.

10.3. requests made by data subjects

Data Subjects are entitled to obtain from the Eloy Group, subject to the principles set out in point 10.1:

  • the Data Subject decides to withdraw his or her consent which formed the basis for the collection or processing,
  • the Personal Data has been processed unlawfully.

The Eloy Group may nevertheless refuse to erase the Personal Data where the processing is necessary:
