Privacy policy and personal data
Respect for confidentiality and the ethical handling of personal data have always been our collective concerns. We know how important these issues are to our customers, prospects and partners, as well as to our current and future employees.
As required by the current framework of RGPD/GDPR regulations and the laws of the countries in which our various subsidiaries are established, Micropole Group is committed to limiting its use of personal data to the development of commercial and professional relationships, ensuring that its communications are respected and add value.
The Group undertakes to be transparent about the updating of its personal data confidentiality policy. The latest version will be fully accessible from the Group's institutional websites.
The group draws attention to the need to read this privacy policy carefully. This charter applies to all Micropole Group websites.
For any complaints or requests for information on these subjects, please contact privacy@micropole.com
1 - WHO WE AREÂ
Micropole is an international company incorporated and governed by French law, registered in Paris under number B 341 765 295. The company's head office is located at 91-95 rue Carnot, 92300 Levallois-Perret.
The Micropole Group operates in two crucial areas for all companies: digital and data. For over ten years, the need to control data and services has led us to set up a Governance team that has become a reference for many partners and customers. Personal data protection is one of their areas of expertise.
In the context of our professional relations and in order to provide companies and organizations with even greater value in these areas, the Micropole Group, which is responsible for processing your personal data, collects personal data in a minimalist manner and uses it mainly for relational marketing or professional follow-up purposes.
Even if this is strictly limited to BtoB relations, the Micropole Group is responsible for processing your personal data.
2 - DATA COLLECTION AND PROCESSING
When you visit the various Micropole Group websites, we may collect personal data in two ways and for two very distinct purposes:
- through forms, where your identification data (surname, first name, company, job title, e-mail address, telephone number, address) enable us to exchange information according to your wishes;
- through the various communications that illustrate our relationship (by email, letters, business cards, etc.);
implicitly, as is customary in digital exchanges, and for the purposes of performance and security statistics for our websites:

4 - DATA RETENTION DATA
We will retain your Personal Information for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected. When your Personal Information is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law, it will be deleted.
