Introduction

The protection of the personal data of the Users of our Platform is a major concern of Accor. Thus, Accor invites Users to familiarize themselves with the current personal data protection policy which is designed to explain, as transparently as possible, the conditions under which the personal data of Users are processed as part of their use of the Platform.

1. Purposes, legal basis and nature of the data collected

When you create an account, search for a supplier or merely browse our Platform, ACCOR S.A, the processing manager, whose head office is located at 82 rue Henri Farman, 92130 Issy Les Moulineaux, France, collects data about you, namely: title, surname, first name, user name, qualification or job title, postal and electronic addresses, work telephone number, password, official details of your company (e.g., : SIRET number in France, intracommunity VAT number, etc.), information about orders and connections to and browsing on the Platform and about communications between Users.

On forms used to collect personal data, the User is informed of the compulsory or optional nature of the replies by the presence of an asterisk. Should you fail to provide some of the compulsory information, we would be unable to provide you with the full range of Platform services.

The data that we collect on you are processed for the following purposes:

 

Purpose	Legal basis of the processing

For example: in the case of an account creation details will be sent to the Supplier to ensure that the future orders will be correctly delivered); if you are a Supplier on the Platform, information about you will be sent to your customers (telephone number and contact email address) to allow the correct fulfilment of their order and, where necessary, the implementation of their warranties.

We may have cause to communicate with you in the following circumstances:

To send you emails of a "transactional" nature:

As part of your use of the Platform, you will receive various emails that allow you to monitor your activity on the site (welcome email, order confirmation, forgotten password, confirmation of dispatch, etc.). These emails are necessary to your use of the Platform. You can use them, for example, or change your password. You receive these emails irrespective of whether or not you agree to receive our newsletters as they are necessary to the correct use of the Platform (sign-up, order, forgotten password, etc.).

To send you newsletters:

If you expressly consent, or if you do not object at the time that your address is collected, you will receive emails with information about, for example, new Platform features, promotions or news about Suppliers.

In order to offer you relevant content, we might use your personal data (company, purchases, loyalty program, etc.) to personalize these newsletters. We might also monitor the performances of these emails with the aim of improving the content and the circumstances in which they are issued. 

To display online adverts:

As part of our online advertising campaigns, we might offer you adverts that are targeted and personalized on the basis of information collected when you make purchases on the site and on your browsing behavior on the site.

We use cookies to measure the performances of advertising campaigns. We might, for example, monitor the number of times the campaigns are displayed and the resulting clicks and sales. We use these analyses to monitor the effectiveness of campaigns in order to make them increasingly relevant and to improve the way they meet the expectations and requirements of Platform users.

To suggest personalized offers and content:

We can use your personal data to send you offers and content personalized on the basis of various criteria, such as your geographical location, your company name, your browser's language, your browsing history on the site or your observed/suggested preferences.

4. Recipients of your data and data transfers to third countries

The data that we collect are received by trained ACCOR S.A. staff and are also accessible by third parties that we use to manage some of our services.

These service providers, acting as subcontractors, participate in the administrative, technical or commercial management of services that we offer (hosting provider, integration provider, payment provider, customer service provider, telephone call handling provider, advertising technologies provider, marketing activities provider or company, market studies and data processing specialist, banking professionals, internet access providers, etc.). These third parties have been properly selected and undertake to implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to ensure a suitable level of protection for your personal data.

In this context, data that we collect may be transferred to countries outside of the European Union. We satisfy ourselves that such transfers are carried out to a country deemed to provide a sufficient level of protection for data of a personal nature or we ensure that suitable legal tools govern these transfers as per the conditions required by the legislation in force.

In addition, when you reply to a Supplier's offer or complete a quote form, your contact details are sent to the relevant professional, namely the processing manager who issued said offer or form.

Further, be informed that certain Users, Suppliers or customers with whom you complete transactions are located in countries outside of the European Union. Therefore, transfers of your personal data to such countries may occur. Such transfers are necessary to the execution of the contract between you and the entity concerned.

Finally, your data may be sent to police forces and legal and government authorities, in accordance with the law, for the detection and prosecution of offences, for the prevention of threats to public safety or to allow ACCOR S.A. to confirm, exercise or defend a legal right.

5. Security measures

Accor S.A. takes technical and organizational measures appropriate to and in compliance with the applicable legal provisions to protect your personal data against illegal or accidental destruction, loss, accidental amendment, divulgence and unauthorized access. To this end, we have introduced technical measures (such as firewalls) and organizational measures (such as a login/password system, physical protection methods, etc.).

Moreover, ACCOR S.A. undertakes regularly to test, verify and assess the effectiveness of the technical and organizational measures in order to ensure ongoing improvement to the security of processing.

Accor S.A. is particularly concerned to make Platform users aware of the need to safeguard their logins and passwords. By accessing the Platform, users undertake never to reveal their password and login to a third party. We remind users that the password and login are strictly personal and confidential. Consequently, the user undertakes to take all measures necessary to this end and remains solely liable for ensuring that their confidentiality is maintained and thus for the consequences of any involuntary divulgence to any other person. Should suspected or proven fraudulent use of their login and/or password occur, the user undertakes to inform Accor SA as soon as possible via the Platform's customer service at: serviceclients.achatsfrance@accor.com. Should the password be lost, the user may change it by clicking the "Forgot password" link on the Platform login page.
