Personal Data Controller
Once you provide us with your personal data (hereinafter referred to as "Personal Data"), the Sanofi company to which you are applying becomes its Controller, which means it will decide for what purpose and in what manner your Personal Data is processed in its database.
The Controller will always be the company to which you are applying for the position (also referred to hereinafter as "Controller" or "we", "us", "our", etc.). Regardless of which of the above-mentioned Sanofi companies is the Controller, the principles of processing Personal Data in the recruitment process are identical.
Source of Personal Data Collection
We may obtain your Personal Data from the following sources:
a. directly from you (e.g., when you send us your application, respond to our job offer, fill out our recruitment form, attend a recruitment meeting);
b. from databases maintained by agencies (recruitment companies) in which you have registered as a job seeker, provided that you have given consent for such agency to provide us with your Personal Data for recruitment purposes,
c. from your previous employers, if you voluntarily agree to allow us to ask them to provide us with an opinion on how they evaluated you as an employee (so-called references),
d. from internet portals where you publicly post information about your professional experience, education, interests, career path to date, etc. (e.g., LinkedIn).
Purpose of Personal Data Processing
We will process your Personal Data for the purpose of conducting the recruitment process for the specific job position you are applying for. If you agree, we will also process your data in future recruitment processes if you are not selected for employment in the position you originally applied for. With your consent, we will share your Personal Data with other Sanofi Group companies so that they can also present you with their job offers and invite you to participate in their recruitment processes.
Legal Basis for Data Processing
